The war on James Faulkner.

Seriously, what did this guy do to CA to get fisted the way he has been?
"Earlier in the year,Faulkner got a contract from Lancashire worth £120,000 to play some games prior to the Champions Trophy in June.He told CA and they said no,you can't do it."
Rodney Hogg on SEN
Also if you want to get picked as an all-rounder you want to make some runs.

67 ODIs, averages 34 batting mainly at #8. Has 21 not outs from 50 innings, but hardly a red dot seeker striking at 104. Has 95 wickets @ 30 with an economy rate of 5.5 and is used as a death bowler.

Not sure what more he is expected to do? As a red ball cricketer his bowling record is good, 195 wickets @ 25 in FC. Batting record is OK with 2500+ @ 31. Not in the test frame but still better than Mitch Marsh on both fronts, statistically. Marsh looks a better batsman, but like his brother doesn't do enough with it.

Looking at his batting graph after a very impressive start he has done bugger all with the bat in the 2nd half of his ODI career.

Hasn't made a 50 in his last 29 ODIs.
8 of those he didn't bat.

8 of those he was not out.

So that leaves 13 innings to make a 50. Coming in at #8.

7 off 6, came in with 7 overs to go.
0 off 1, run out coming in with 4 overs to go
21 off 12, came in with 8 overs to go
0 off 1, came in with 2 overs to go
1 off 3, came in with 3 overs to go
36 off 30 (2nd top score), came in with 30 overs to go

Bold is a potential 50, but given the whole team made 121 it isn't a bad score.

I CBF doing this for every single innings but how many 50s do people expect him to make? He comes in at #8 and generally has 5 overs at most at the crease.

Seems like he's had a blue with CA,they wanted him to rest before The Champions Trophy,he wanted to make some coin so they flagged him.CA don't like mercenaries.

CA blocked his move to Lancashire but didn't pick him in the Champion's Trophy squad then axed him from the central contract list.

That's a dick move.

Would be poetic if Sutherland junior chooses AFL. They're an absolute mess, have no idea on how to adapt to crickets changing landscape.

How anyone can believe that Aussie chick that got busted for coke in Colombia was set up, she's about as innocent as Schapelle Corby.

It was unbelievable enough to start with that anyone could be so dumb or naïve to go through customs with a bunch of packages some dodgy Colombian guy gave them without opening them first to check what was in them but now it turns out the US DEA tipped off the Colombian authorities about her because her plane ticket was bought in suspicious circumstances.

Her only hope now is to plead guilty and hope she gets a reduced jail sentence of less than 10 years instead of 20-25 years.

Why limited series shows need second seasons. 13 Reasons Why, Big Little Lies, Riverdale, The Night Of, Mr. Robot. They do not need second seasons. But due to how popular the first season, of course they were going to make a second season.

The issue is that these shit screenwriters will have no material to base the season off. The first season is always based off a Book or Comic-book or movie that there is some storyline that they have to stick to, and it's proven to work their the viewership of the original text. but now that season 2 has been funded they storyline is ****** up.

The reason it worked for something like Fargo is that it started a new timeline, with different characters. This recent breed of shows are all trying to extend the original characters and will **** it up.

Why can't TV studios just leave a limited series as a one season thing?
