Maximus Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Apparently, the appeal was to be heard behind closed doors but was somehow changed in a way that would allow 'public scrutiny' of it. So Mr Warner has withdrawn his appeal on the grounds that he doesn't want his family going through this scrutiny "Some things are more important than cricket" and he doesn't want them to be the washing machine for cricket's dirty laundry. Well David, let's not forget one very very important thing here: You and your mate Mr Smith were the guys who made the whites dirty.

Hesi Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I think Candice has been spending too much time telling him how wonderful he is. Swashbuckling batsmen for sure, but deluded if he thinks he is leadership material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 sadly, Smith is captaining Australia again this very evening in Adelaide. Shoulda been banned from captaincy for life IMO MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I note he has become a lot more orthodox with his batting technique, compared to the flamboyant gyrations he used to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Really enjoying the England / Pakistan test matches, the future of Test Cricket surely, Brendan McCullum's appointment was not received very enthusiastically initially! Contrast that with the Aus' / W.Indies. Having grown up watching the great W. Indies teams of the late 70's early 80's it is quite sad to watch.

Maximus Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Max ventured over to watch Day 2 of Aus v S Af at MCG but had to quickly change the channel as Warner and Smith batting together. The two Sandpapergaters ...grrr! Looks like a lovely day at the gee though. Mr Maharaj wont last long if he keeps bowling this too-full yum-yum crap.

Hesi Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Both are great batsmen, but it will never be appropriate that they captain Australia again as they are both cheats. All this Warner stuff is being pushed by his wife, who is hardly objective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Dickie Bird holding court Many of the best players to ever play the game came from the West Indes, so upsetting to see their demise. Still seem able to produce very good cricketeers, but not to the to the ;level of yester year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
