Re: General tv discussion thread - good, bad, axings etc etc

started watching orange is the new black on the weekend. it is really good actually. quite different.

unexpected lesbian action too, which can either be interpreted as an added interest to the show, or a shameless and or sad way of titillating male audiences into watching what is largely a female cast.

either way it has me watching, so make of that what you will.

if you like quirky humour you will love this.

Re: Pakis v Aussies

Sorry CB, was questioning DB. He said he agrees with you, but then says Warner is going to be very solid.
I reckon there's a difference between being very solid and one of the greats - there's a rung or two difference.

As an example:

Steve Waugh, one of the greats.
Damien Martyn, very solid.

Maybe that's just me being semantic ;)

Very solid but not quite a great, I was more agreeing that he has become such a dominant player of late.
No reason he wont surpass Langer who I also have in the solid category. I could see him with around 20 test tons by the time he is finished, thus making him very solid.

Re: Australian Summer of Tennis

I think having 5 or 6 players in the top 100 currently is a great effort for Australia. Not many other countries have this bar the dominant clay court countires like the French, Argentine's & Spanish.

The two K's & Tomic will all be consistent top 50 players for years to come I feel with Kyrios being the only one I can see being consistantly around the mark of the top 10 & pushing for Grand Slam success at this stage.

Re: Kane Cornes' book

Roo copping a lashing over his article in the Tiser, suggesting Kane was pushed or selfish:
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/mark-ricciuto-kane-cornes-is-either-selfish-or-being-pushed-by-port-adelaide/story-fnp04d71-1227353774138

It's natural for people to be defensive of Kane, a great player, club legend etc. But Roo has been there, done that. The premiership window is open. Kane signed on for one more year, one more crack at one more flag. It's hard to believe Kane wouldn't want to be part of that success and with every possible chance they could achieve that feat, it does seem strange for him to pull the pin, regardless of any job offer on the cards. Selfish is not a word you would associate with Kane Cornes. It's hard to know exactly what to think about it but it doesn't sit right with me. Just hope it was on Kane's terms.

http://www.theroar.com.au/2015/05/13/kane-cornes-should-do-whats-best-for-port-adelaide-like-he-always-has/

I found this article an interesting perspective on it...

IMO Ken Hinkley would be the most dissapointed, if he had known this was on the cards im sure he would rather have played another developing player in the tagging role for the first 8 rounds to gain the experiance. No doubt Kane is a club legend but I think he has let the team down a bit with decison.

SInce the last Ashes in Aus he has made at least one ton in every series he has played except for the 2 test series v WI just gone.
3 tons against South Africa away count as runs when it counts to me...

Re: Australian Domestic Season 2016/2017

Head goes on tomorrow I reckon his baggy green will be coming in the second test.

Reckon Fergusson has done more to deserve a chance b4 Head.
Just a shame he missed out today.

Just an utter DISGRACE that Mitch Marsh is in the team ahead of just about anyone

Selectors like Head as they know he is a real talent. They will take him to India as a batsmen as he bowls handy spin. He can also bowl a few overs to cover Marsh if they want a 5th option in the next test.

Problem with Ferg is he always misses out when he needs a big one, never quite strings it together when needed. He's always knocking on the door but he never quite knocks it over.

Potential to be 0/150 off 12 overs or 2/10 off 8 with that combo. I'm a bit old fashioned in cricket, I believe you have to have a 'Rock' at the top of the order. Dravid and to a lesser extent Langer, Cook and Rogers type, but not quite Boycott if you get what I mean.

Agreed, but who? ( Don't say S.Marsh )


I'll probably get screamed down for this but if it's an opening position Australia need it would be Klinger for mine. I rate the guy I always have but being the wrong side 30 will always go against you.

Reckon we always get them as with half the NSW team playing for Aus they try to give those boys the Day/Night game at Adelaide Oval to get used to the conditions for the test. That's my thinking behind why we always get them early on at full strength.

Re: Australian Tour of South Africa

Didn't realise Chad Sayers was a regular at the pub I work at till I met his father in law in the weekend!
He rang Chad from the Front Bar so everyone could have a chat to him from South Africa, it was quite surreal as the connection was clearer than when I ring the next door neighbour!
He said the side is currently confined to their hotel as its too dangerous to walk the streets, I got the impression the rest of the squad weren't going out of their way to make him feel welcome in the team too. He's hoping to get a game in the tour match.

That would not surprise, as the Aussie team is essentially the most exclusive boys club there is in this country. There may be a few blokes looking over their shoulder. I reckon if you grab your chance, if & when it presents you would get accepted into the fold though.

I disagree, I think Boof would make sure its a great team environment. In fact its what everyone said as soon as he took over from Mickey Arthur how much it turned around.

With most of the group having a NSW or WA connection there might be a few smaller groups naturally as they know each other. This isn't Chadd's first tour with most of them & has also been apart of Test squads in Aus so he should know them well enough by now surely? I could be wrong but from listing to podcasts & interviews the likes of M Marsh & Cummins seem really genuine blokes & id be surprised if they were to exclude and allow a team to exclude someone a majority of the time.

Only reason I could think off is the fact Smith & Sayers appear to not get along after Smith changed his mind on his selection in the Adelaide test & perhaps players don't want to get around the Chadd in the fear of off putting Smith perhaps?

Re: Port Adelaide 2018

If they want to set standards for this type of rubbish. Then harsher penalties need to be given out. 1 week off is way too lenient. Some AFL players believe that they are better than society when they go out at night and think they can do and have anyone they want. Because I play for Port Power and my name is SPP. So because of who you are, women should just open their legs for you. Crap. He should have been given a month off and been told to go do some community service at a women's shelter. I can't stand people like that that use their so called reputation to do what they want. Maybe SPP has been hanging around Burgoyne or Heuskes too much.
What has he done? He went out, broke curfew and got drunk, he didn't kill anyone or beat anyone up, there is an ongoing investigation into the "alleged" wrongdoings, I think you're trialing him with no substance.

Did Dusty assault a woman in a chinese restaurant with chopsticks last year? It was "alleged" that he did.

It's actually a pretty similar scenario here LM, Dusty was out drunk at the time when the "incident" occurred & the women (who happened to work for 7 went to the club & media.) Dusty admitted he was drunk in public & was sanctioned by the club for this. Once CCTV footage was checked over & a police investigation completed it was found he hadn't done anything criminal & was cleared of any wrong doings.

We're at the same stage now with PP, he's been sanctioned for being intoxicated & once a full investigation is completed we will know the outcome. If its found PP has done nothing wrong I feel for the lad & if he has then throw the book at him as they say.

I think Port have handled this very well & have done in the past with previous "incidents" the media has brought to public's attention.

We really struggle in overcast conditions against swing and seam bowlers. And we dont have a bowler who can bowl to those conditions or the Australian selectors dont want to use them.

I think Worrell might sneak on the plane over for the Ashes. Was speaking to some people in the know at a bar Sat night of the test & the general vibe is he's rated more highly than Sayers by most at the top level.
