James Brayshaw on Chad Cornes

[Gets!]

I am.

I hardly rate State cricket at all and many thousands who ignore it agree with me. Its only the die hards that think state cricket is like some elite competition. I don't understand why?

FFS!

It's STATE cricket you ****ing moron! STATE.

When AFL state of origin was around, not every victorian player or SA player made the state team...why? They weren't good enough.

 

[Diego]

Are you a clown?

Why am i a clown?

State level cricket is a very high level, higher than the AFL...

Premier grade Cricket is probably on par with AFL.

But if this is the case, then why do only 100 people and their two dogs only turn up? Its way to subjective to call it a high level, that’s what you and you cricket mates might think but to the neutral observer its just a game played in amateurish conditions.

Why the insults? b/c i don't agree with your view? Why then are games of shield cricket always empty?

When it was around most players faked an injury to avoid playing in it hence why its not around no more in AFL. Rugby League differs.

Please be a little more objective with your posting and less insulting.

JB has always been a big head but I think being on TV has made him a bigger tool ( TRY HARD ).

 

[morell]

This is an easy argument to solve.

Find out how many registered Football players there are and then divide by how many play in the AFL, then find out how may registered cricketers there are and divide by how many play in the Pura Cup.

Players faked injury?

You really are a twat.

A twat now? Why?

Players do not want to play in an AFL state of origin. Tell me brainiac, why then isn’t SOO around in AFL? Then why did gun players last time it was on all pull out with injuries to only play the next round?

I still want to know how playing cricket for South Australia in an empty Adelaide Oval is a higher achievement than playing in a grand final in front of 90k and a million + tv audience?

Or is this one of those unspoken myths with a "it just is ok" type reply?

To be honest i didn't know who JB was until he started to get involved with the AFL and i like my cricket. Just not at state level.

 

[KUNG FU]

JB does come off a bit of a tool, but it doesn't mean his comments weren't valid.

Basically because there is international Cricket which attracts the fans, which is an extremely high standard of cricket, dosn't mean State cricket isn't a high level...

Do you play Cricket? if you don't then you wouldn't realise how hard it is to get to state level...

A good idea but I don’t think it really gives a definitive answer.

The highest level of each competition would have to be AFL as you can’t go any higher. AFL players are the best there are at what they do. State cricketers are not the best at what they do.

Its as hard as AFL.

Well they are really. Only 11 players beat them at any one time.

 

[peternorth]

hahahahaha this is funny. it was nrl vs afl, then soccer vs afl, now cricket vs afl.

theres only 1 way to determine which one is better/harder/whatever:

Shane Warne vs Wayne Carey

Discuss.

 

[Diego]

Shane Warne vs Wayne Carey

Shane Wanre does not deserve to be involved in threesomes at all.

Shane Warne is responsible for marrying a bogan who somehow somewhere down the line someone at a womans mag thought that we, the Australian public, want to know every little detail and embrace a bogan woman called "simone".

thanks shane you twit!

 

[Toots Hibbert]

Back on topic, I didn't watch the show but I've seen enough of it and Brayshaw to make a comment I think.

If a player comes on the show they should expect to have some serious questions asked of them.

There's a fair bit of blokey banter on the show and a question like that from Brayshaw is just par for the course IMO.

Chad Cornes is well able to look after himself. It would be a different matter if the same question was asked of some nervous rookie in which case I think it would be unfair.\

Edit:- As far as answering Brayshaw is concerned, Cornes performs a role for the team. He is a very creative player who was an All Australian CHB. If Choco told him to mark tightly and he didn't then there's a problem. Clearly he is not expected to do this but is told to concentrate on the attacking side of his game. Having said that Chad was one of the hardest working players when the side was playing horrifically badly earlier in the season.

 

[Falchoon]

99% of the known world (No NSW/QLD) would rather play 1 game of AFL than 1 game of state cricket.

 

[Wizard]

Chad Cornes seems like a good bloke aswell. No player deserves the crap that JB dished out to him.

Nah he is a deadset ****er.

 

[Buckley 4 Pope]

Thankfully I am part of the 1%.
You actually have to use your brains to play cricket at a decent level.

 

[rick James]

don't tell me you are serious? The bit about it being higher in achievenments than playing afl!

Much harder to represent a state in cricket than it is to play AFL, much, much harder.

I think you overate the importance of AFL in the known world.

 

[Diego]

Really i thought any tom **** and harry could walk up and get a game.

My point is that many people consider playing AFL a higher achievement that playing state cricket. Only the diehards share a different view. The same could be said about lawn bowls, lawn bowling fans would think that playing lawn bowls for NSW is a higher achievement than playing AFL at an elite level.

Its very subjective.

 

[Papa G]

JB has always been a big head but I think being on TV has made him a bigger tool ( TRY HARD ).

He's getting worse. He's really in the the Channel 9 Melbourne boys club now he's totally haming it up to prove he can be as bigger tool as the rest of them.

hence why ur opinion isn't the be all and end all

I agree in the sense that most people would prefer the esteem or fame afforded by playing AFL compared to state cricket.
I am personally one of them, I'd much rather play AFL than play state cricket.

But to actually make it to state level cricket is harder than it is to get on to an AFL list. Look at Alistair Nicholson and Quintin Lynch, all they ever did was be born bigger than most people.

 

[Hawkk]

Seriously for someone who has never played at the highest level, Jb is coming across as an arrogant twat.

I like it, it reminds me of myself in a former life.
