To the survivors

Apparently calling someone Shiraz or motherfucker is racist. There should be nil tolerance for racism but what constitutes racism may need defining as some gentle souls seems to struggle with banter some of which may be boorish at worst

Yep, if it hadn’t been for Covid, Trump would have pissed all over Biden. Anyway, with all the shit going down, covid, antifa, BLM etc, it is good to see that the Dems have their priorities firmly in place. https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/diversity-inclusion/532518-house-introduces-gender-neutral-language-in-new?fbclid=IwAR2FfFl_hUaspgqs0_cVlVC6FatARn4aVNwgzh-E2SLryif3nzwOsX3tOM8 I have had about enough of these transgender loonies, and if that makes me a transphobe, screw them.

Happy new year folks!! Let's hope things improve for everyone............

Not much he doesn't know about batting - good get by the Poms.

Hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Will be glad to see the back of 2020. Loved watching the Indians fold like a cheap suit. Did however take me back to terror of 2011 when big Vern ripped through us. We can travel to any state of Australia without having to quarantine on return except NSW which is having a mini covid outbreak of around 100 cases in total (you need to apply for a online pass for all interstate travel so they can track your movements irrespective of where you go). Australians can only travel overseas with a very good reason and must spend 14 days in hotel quarantine at our own expense upon return and pass three covid tests. You have to scan into bars, restaurants etc locally but strangely not shopping centres (or write your details in a register - Mickey Mouse has been out a lot). Other than that is is business as usual.

Agreed. It is a hard core of raving nutters and and normal people are bending down in front of them instead of telling them to fuck off.

imo, i suspect that most people simply don't give a flying fig about all this shit. They're too busy simply trying to survive in real time.

As a left-wing activist, my priority is to make sure that corporations in Silicon Valley are empowered to set the limits of acceptable speech.

Homosexuality is transphobic because it reinforces the myth of a gender binary. So although we must oppose homophobia, we also need to recognise that not being homophobic is a form of transphobia. This really isn’t difficult.

And the crazy thing is that these nutters are than 0.5% of the population, and of those most probably don’t want to be involved with the lunacy.

Good luck to them. Their record is padded by a large number of series against teams other than the Big 3 but they have beaten India and England at home recently. I reckon they are mid tier at best in a weak era as suggested by Taipan. In their last 27 Tests against Australia (home and away) they have won once. Their "best ever" team showed up last summer and got handed their arses. They now reckon this current team is the best ever.

He has to be on some kind of very strong medication............for most US citizens he's become a very embarrassing individual! i cannot remember a US President ever behaving like donald........but i guess there's a first for everything. the BIG problem for me is he's still got his finger on the red button for another two weeks!!

Not really. I have never known test cricket to be weaker. Neither SA or Aus are good at the moment.NZ are an average team hiding behind a slightly better than average seam attack and 1.5 batsmen.

Actually his presidency achieved some great things, but that will be outweighed by his failures and crassness

And the Banana Republic continues under direction of the Orangatan What a fucking disgrace

Snooker, gymnastics, swimming ? Skin still too pale 😡

For once I agree with the Indians. There is a lot of political BS here about opening and closing state borders. There has been a few cases (less than 50) in NSW in the last few weeks and other states have now closed their borders to NSW residents and make all arrivals from NSW quarantine for 14 days. The hard border closures seemed to have worked here in Australia but making the Indians do another 14 days when they are already operating in a mini bubble of sorts is onerous. The pollies won't make exceptions so the 4th Test will be played at the SCG or won't be played at all. Australia haven't lost at the Gabba since 1988 so expect heaven and earth attempt to be moved by CA with no success.

Mismanagement. BEE. Cadre deployment. Government interference. Ditching your major TV channel to show an unsellable tournament free to air to the masses. The unsellable tournament itself. Sacking competent employees (see Clive Eksteen). i also see the banindians are making noises about the Brisbane test.

The suggested debt levels are going to be a real problem - how does CSA get itself into $USD68 million in debt by 2022. Covid will be the whipping boy but it seems the damage was done long before then. If my lot pull out (which is likely given their thin skins) there will be a higher hole in the revenue base

Even cycling you need a team.

It is all a direct consequence of the CSA mismanagement and loss of sponsorship. 17 year old white kids were basically stuffed anyway.

Look like funding is going to be cut and 75 contracted players to go. If you are a 17 year white kid might be wise to jump on a plane

Strength v strength is the way to go. But quotas and the CSA have destroyed provincial cricket. And what has happened to the clubs is even worse.

My wish as always

The very best of 2021 to you all..May it certainly be better than 2020...for all of us all over the world.....MY child needs to come home (or me go there...) 🙏

Ten concussions now? In any other sport he would have been forcibly retired.

Burns has been dropped. Waner and Puc back.

No need for panic just yet but it would be handy is the batsmen could make some decent runs. Burns has to go so Bogan Dave gets back in. I would also kick Head out, move Wade back down the order and bring in the fragile Will Pukovski. The kid has some talent but is made out of paper mache mentally and physically but has to be a better long term bet than Head who is not test standard. Wade getting a game is a sign of how dire the batting stocks are in Australia especially if Smith is having a bad run but he hasn't been the worst to date.

Indeed to all. And some cricket Saturday? Luckily I no longer have TV and we only watch DSTV for the cycling LOL. My husband does not have time for crappy sports anymore 😉

Belated birthday greetings!! This is so late it's valid for next year - sigh!!

Dock has gone silent he must be sitting on some beach again....;)

Our Christmas song.................

The Beatles live on!!

Here's wishing you all a merry Xmas. And let's hope for a happier new year.

LOL at least you haven't...;)

Yes, a very merry Christmas and a far happier new year to all! A lot of people have lost their sense of smell & taste....... even more seem to have lost their sense of humour....sigh!!
