Australian International Summer 2024/25

Test cricket is going to look so different in 2040.

Will probably be played with a tennis ball so no one gets hurt, you won't be given out first ball either.

One hand one bounce will be the new boundary rope rule by then

Players quotas aligned to LGBTIQ+ and however many more letters are added by then; combined series, not aligned to binary; no competitions, just participation; no awards so everyone is a winner; Welcome to Country mandatory before each ball is bowled … for starters.

But, it is not Cricket Australia's or Australian Captain's right to give us their opinion about climate change, #YES or any other social issue at the time. It worked so well for Qantas and Joyce.

Huh? I would say it's definitely their RIGHT to give THEIR opinion.. just as people are within their own rights as to whether they listen / agree / disagree etc.

[Lightning McQueen]

No disagreement from me, have always thought the same. I guess it’s only importance is to players from a financial perspective, but only for those on the fringes.

On the same token, most are regular starters in some format.

One wonders why Stoinis isn't on there, he seems to be first picked in any T20 match.

Go woke go win the ODI World Cup, The Ashes, World Test Championship, Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Chappell-Hadlee Trophy, The Frank Worrell Trophy...

I have always thought sledging and agro etc are inappropriate on the cricket field & its good that something is, finally, being done about it.

Ok boomer.

As I said - it has worked so well for Qantas and Joyce

This bit, apart from what I read on here I have no idea about his opinions, beliefs or whatever. I'll listen to his cricket talk but zone off when it comes to anything else.

I am a strange cat though, I can sit through 4 adverts and when quizzed on any of them after the show returns I couldn't tell you anything about them...........except that Land Cruisers drive us home.

Will Adelaide be the first rainbow test.

Interesting comments from Captain Pat......reckon i will back the captain in here rather than the old skool media crew

"I think people mistake a bit of confidence with bullying or abuse," Test captain Pat Cummins said on Sunday.

"You're allowed to walk around with your shoulders puffed back and play a few cricket shots. I don't think that's illegal, but some people really take offence to that and want to kind of put him back in his place.

"We say the same to all of our players, just bring yourself every day and be yourself. Go about how you think represents yourself the best and how you want to play.

"I think he's been really good this series. He stood up for himself as needed to."

What's the first sentence in relation too?

[dedja]

Will Adelaide be the first rainbow test.

Yes, at the Malinauskas Stadium.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Will Adelaide be the first rainbow test.

Yes, at the Malinauskas Stadium.

Might have a roof by then

You mean the Tarzia stadium after he starts his fourth consecutive term as Premier....

"A right is a privilege or power that is typically held by the general public. Rights are usually the result of a constitution, statute, regulation, or judicial precedent. Rights can be legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement"

They have the floor because of their position in the Australian cricket team and that is who they are representing.
It's definitely their right to talk about cricket.

But I agree with your overall sentiment.

Pat can really give an opinion on whatever he wants just like everyone else. His opinion is no more valid than anyone else’s

If you’re back at work today and feeling blue about it please go and watch these reels plus others from the 28 year old Male and Typemedia taking the piss out of Kohli.

I assumed that was a cumulative tally by the hour, rather than a list of options.

Yeah - they're the same
We're not representing the Australian cricket team which represents Australia for cricket.

I'm quite happy to listen to his personal opinions.

[Booney]

Even if they're the views of Cricket Australia, or Qantas for that matter who gives a shit, they don't make policies.

Never got why people get so annoyed by celebrities in a sports people having opinions. I guess the people who get all sooky about it are the real 'snowflakes'
