Happen to be rubbing a magic lamp as you posted this?

I've always been a Kohli fan, he deserves a level of respect for making it to the top of cricket both in a country of over a billion, and internationally. But I hope we fly the flag and give him everything after tea. Worst behavior Ive seen. Cowardly, sniper shit against a teenager. Make his...

I thought all were saying the main person pushing for Smith to open was Smith...

I'd honestly love an Aussie to run through him when he's at bat, given the precedent they can only be fined 20% anyway so go for it. The problem is we don't really have any mongrels in this side. Wish Warner or Haddin had been out there.

I think its because they are so committed to Cam Green they don't want to try someone else and put themselves in a tough spot. Marsh is merely a poor man's Green to them, biding time til Green is back. To be clear, I think its wrong, but that I believe is their process.

In my eyes his best position is small forward. And yes I said that right, by small I mean playstyle, not size. However his bigger strength in his versatility. He can bring something to every part of the ground and a good coach would be shuffling him a lot more. Need an enforcer in the mid? Send...

Nothing beats...

Sets such a crazy precedent too. What happens if after he shoulder barges him Konstas gives him a shove back or a punch? Its why you have to be brutal on deliberate physical contact.

The ****ing collapse

Also - you'd have to be think Kohli would be facing a ban if he was any other player in the world.

Fantastic knock by Konstas. Sometimes attack is the best form of defence.

Is it over regulated or just pure greed by commercial landlords (and penalty rates) driving up prices so pubs have to chase bigger margins? Genuine question here, not rhetorical

How much would beer cost though?

Ive honestly never followed it at all in terms of who is winning or losing. Occasionally if Ive been at a bar Ive watched a game for a bit of fun, but its hit and giggle stuff for drunks and kids. Its about as serious a competition as AFLX.

My view on T20 is its purely a revenue raiser. Gets money from non serious cricket fans, and gives more players the income to stay in cricket and thus become good test options. Test cricket can be difficult to keep financially viable without it.

I wonder if Ken will ever conduct an English-speaking interview.

Yep to be clear on Renshaw I'm specifically talking only about 2017-18. As mentioned I think what you say has a lot of validity regarding the situation now. But for a bloke in his very early 20s, as an opener, making 184 in his 6th ever innings, and averaging 48 from his first 7 tests, should...

My big issue with Renshaw though is that he was one that steps up in tests. His first 6 innings he had a 34no, then a 50 and a 150. Some players just perform better with maximum pressure and even now, 6 years on I dont understand why he was dropped and wasnt persisted with through his "slump"...

Yes but McSweeney is on the team thats been the better for 2 out of 3 games. If anything Bumrah has been his victim when you consider the overall team performance. Would you rather win the ashes as an opener with an average of 6? Or lose with an average of 60? To me its clear. Winning is...

Honestly we just aren't gonna agree on this one. I'm not at all denying that Bumrah is having an incredible series and I have no issue with talking about that aspect. I'm just not gonna be posting about "claiming victims" in a series that India isn't even winning at this point. To use a footy...

No doubt he's been amazing, but that sort of post is what you make 3-0 up, not 1-1 after 3 games. Its a team sport after all.

On Konstas, did a bit of digging as I haven't actually seen much of him with bat in hand... In the series against India A he went 0, 16, 3, 73 I just hope that if he is the guy we give him a genuine crack at it.

Bragging about Bumrah dominance when the series is 1-1 and India were a bit of sunshine away from being 2-1 down sure is something

On behalf of NZ no thank you

I guess we'll see in 10 odd months lol I have a top four of GWS, Cats, Brions, Pies. Hawks and Docks the next tier down... possibly mixed in with the two SA teams

What if a group of people want to protest this decision?

Is the A for asexual, aromantic or ally? (or perhaps avocado, in order to exclude Bryce from Married at First Sight from joining)

Wait there's a Liverpool thread on BigFooty?
