Eskinazi looking bog average.

Can't bat, can't run between the wickets, can juggle a little.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I was really surprised when we signed Eskinazi again, won't lie.

Bog average knock that.

 

[THE A5]

Channel 74. No highlights from the final that I saw.

Now I'm questioning reality.

Oh on fox they were talking him up lol

 

[Dazzler9]

Eskinazi is like a charity/boys for the club sorta situation

He looks like the dudes who have never really played and rock up to the local nets and have a hit about.

Yay, we agree

I can't stand that the same people who usually defend free speech are crying over Usman's statements.

Freedom of speech cuts both ways, and gives people the right to opinions whether you agree or disagree, you have to accept this as a free speech defender.

 

[squashface]

I think the issue is more the thunderstorms than possible rain. Lucky to see a ball bowled imo.

Always fun to catch up on threads late and see another one of your on target calls

 

[amazingjoshy]

Well that was easy

Why isn't Whiteman opening for us? I would think he is better than Eski at least.

He must be injured or something? You'd pick him every day ahead of Eski or Hobson.

I don't think he's injured.

They (Scorchers) seem to give internationals first dibs.
Just like they did with Adam Lyth over Bancroft last year.

 

[THE A5]

Whiteman wouldn’t be far off but they form wise they are similar. Genuinely can’t remember when Whiteman made runs at this level.

 

[Doashuey]

Can't wait for the Test to start so we can have a 3 day break (hopefully 5 but, Pakistan) from talking shit about this park cricket league.

Eski grew up in Perth before going over and playing his career in England.

I have a feeling we got him for cheaper than a normal import.

At the end of the day if we keep all of Mmarsh, Inglis, agar , jye tye , dorf , turner Hardy and green at the expense of big name big money imports im fine with it .

We always had at least 1 make shift opener and lately two since Smarsh left .

Hopefully eski can put up some better numbers than last season

Free speech isn't free from ridicule or consequences... isn't that the oft shouted retort ?

Or does hypocrisy only get held to account with people who express wrongthink

Anyway - never realised Usman was a white supremacist. Strange times indeed.

 

[Tugga27]

Next game you'd imagine Crawley in for Eski.
Agar should be fit but it would be hard to drop McKenzie.
Agar for Hobson maybe.

The three top sides at this early stage seem to be us, Sixers and the Heat.

Tassie will be dangerous on their day.

Freedom of speech is fine he can say what he wants when he wants in his own personal time.

But using a test match as a platform is where I draw the line .

People watch sport to get away from politics.

Look at the BLM kneeling and what it did to the T20 would cup last time . Turned it into a political shit show.

It’s odd isn’t it. Would be fine if the internationals weren’t so spudly

I agree with this. In most jobs you'd get fired if you used your job to promote your own political views.

Where CA stuffed up was letting other players get away with this sort out thing before. Cummins and his anti gas stance against a sponsor was far worse. I hope they're drawing a line now and we can just have cricket.

The thing with the Cummins stance is surely he'd have run it past PR or someone in CA to some degree...very, very rarely would the captain go rogue in bad mouthing a sponsor. All very odd.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

What did Uzzie say?

Wanted to wear these shoes in the test as a protest to Israel occupation of Gaza.

 

[Dazzler9]

How awful.

 

[ioppolo]

So he's not actually saying anything, just wearing shoes? I know FIFA have rules against this, does the ICC as well? Play on other wise.

ICC does as well about political statements
