Farmer wants a regular shag & ditzy sheilas who wanna sit on their ass & watch the farmer work
 
Don't the Windies have 4 or 5 guys out because it's more lucrative for them to play BBL?

$$$$$$ tho!
Gayle is over the hill & every other WI player in the BBL is more suited to limited overs cricket.. Dwayne Bravo's test record is below average, $$$$$ aside they'd still suck if these guys were available & probably better off blooding the youngsters.

The building that is now a rug store on the corner of South Rd and Manton St used to be occupied by a distributor of magazines. For years (in the 1990s anyway) they had a massive skip bin filled with magazines on pretty much any topic/hobby/pr0n/comic you could imagine. Only had to scale the 7ft barb wire fence to get into it. Now THAT was a gold mine.

Better still, uncle owned the Virginia newsagent, just had to go into the shed while the parents were eating/drinking and grab Whatever you wanted.

It's very chicken-egg though.

If I'm a young West Indian batsman why I am going to go down a route of honing and ironing out my technique to earn a relative pittance playing test cricket, when I can focus on bludgeoning piechuckers to all points of the compass while wearing the garb of 4 or 5 different T20 franchises in a given year and be handsomely rewarded as a result?

Can't argue, Surely there has to be more money from the ICC pumped into places like the WI & some sort of decent wage structure applied to test cricketers across the board.. the money is there, do it or we are doomed to subpar test cricket & T20 shitfests for life.
 
Very true as both Warner and Smith were better suited to limited overs cricket but have had the quality to adapt to test cricket and are now our best players. For a lot of the Westies it's just easier to stick to the easy route which makes you more money anyway in the form of T20. It then becomes self-perpetuating and only gets worse until something significant is done.
 
Lets be honest.. the sheen of test cricket is wearing off. I would much rather spend 20 minutes at the crease for a quick 20 or 30 and then chase the ball about for 20 overs and earn the equivalent of a small developing nation for 6 weeks here, 6 weeks there, than spending 3 days in the Perth heat watching Australia make a squillion runs if i was a Windian.

you forgot daylight savings because they miss their stories on tv. They get all confused and remember that extra hour of daylight fades the curtains

In South Australia it is a big issue on west coast ... SA timeline is 30 mins behind eastern states (thru Warnambool Vic) when Adelaide itself is 1 hour behind by the sun
 
Guys, I have an amazing idea.

Now, Geocaching. It's effectively the art of placing items of some sort of sentimental value into a cache (i.e tupperware container or ammunition box) and placing it somewhere in the bush for other geocachers to find. You mark it on your GPS, and the GPS co-ordinates get downloaded to other geocaching individuals' GPS' to locate and place items into, or even trade items.

I propose that we create pornocacheing. Same thing, but we place pornography in the caches for a bushfap while you are out camping in the middle of nowhere. I also propose that the first item of value to go in the pornocache is a picture of Travis Boak or Cameron O'Shea.

The money thing can be sorted out if the governing bodies want things to improve with the WI etc.

The sheen of test cricket only wears off in a shit series played on flat wickets

T20 shouldn't be played at all at international level, should be left to the domestic levels & scheduled as best they can not to impinge on international fixtures.

T20 is immediate splooge for the attention challenged masses & just a money grab for the players

I got bored of test cricket a little while back, one sided series, no spin bowlers, and shane watson being in the side, and Andrew Symonds being cast out being the primary causes.

Warner did a lot to make it interesting again but when we play england and lose to the rain all I can say is "well that's bloody pointless"

Also the commentary is about as bad as the AFL's. Probably because they pissed all the smart players off too much by not selecting them.

Cricket commentary is even worse than the AFLs. Except for Bumble and Michael Holding.
