“Any person taking the line of “what else was Maynard supposed to do?” is either a borderline simpleton, running an agenda, or perhaps just lacks nuance and understanding of how a player like Maynard goes about his business.”
When you commence your argument by offering personal insults to anyone who disagrees with you, your credibility goes out the window, regardless of the facts of the matter.

'Wanted to hit, wanted to hurt': Brayden Maynard - the guilty man found innocent

Pretty tough on Carey I thought. He is a wicketkeeper first and a batsman second, and his keeping was excellent.

Every player rated from the third Ashes Test: Poms' wonderful Ws, Warner nightmare and Bison brilliance

Cummins was a poor choice for captain, but he was backstabber-in-chief at the time of Langer’s assassination, so they went with him

Crass and uncultured he was, but Trump achieved more for his country in four years than Obama did in eight.

The suggested improvement is to drop Warner.

Turning a blind eye to Warner’s woes proving costly for Aussies - as McDonald sticks his head in sand yet again

Broad is an absolute flog, but I would be smiling too if I took an opposition opener’s wicket as often.

I could not disagree with anything said in this article. The facts of the matter, though, are that England’s errors in captaincy and fielding are the only reason we are not 2-0 down already.

That one has had me chuckling to myself for several minutes. Thank you.

Taylor reckons Warner should be given one last try but not sold on opener's heir apparent

As an old baseball player, I am delighted to see our team have success in this great game. Mexico beat the USA yesterday, so anything is possible. Let’s hope we go on and win a bit more.

Shocking the world: How Australia made baseball history

Comedy, surely ? 😂

Uzzy fires shots at past coaches after ton puts Aussies in command: 'Didn't really get support from people around me'

You win the prize for the most arrogant post so far.

On the nose: Are Australia’s male cricketers the nation’s most unappealing national team?

Is that you Don ?

GOAT by name, GOAT by nature: Lyon's elite eight leaves Aussies 76 runs away from stunning win

That would be voila, but I agree with you.

FLEM’S VERDICT: Shellshocked … panicked - Aussie collapse like watching a car crash in slow motion

Face it folks, the coach is not up to the job, the captain has no idea what he is doing, the majority (not all) of the players are too impressed with themselves, and some of them are simply not up to test standard. As for the selectors, their work beggars belief.

As someone said when Turnbull left; “Malcolm Turnbull has spent his entire career polishing his resume and little else.” (approximate quote)

'I'm as much to blame as anyone': Cummins admits Aussies batted 'too up-tempo' in Delhi implosion

They needed grit, determination and an overwhelming desire to not surrender their wicket. Ironically, one of the best role models for that style of batting was their previous coach.

This is the coach they wanted. Reap what you sow.

Of course the AFL ride in with their wet lettuce to give him a slap on the wrist, along with a reminder that he can get caught another couple of times before he is in any real trouble. What a joke they are with their “drugs policy”.

'I've let 44 of my best mates down': Ginnivan hit with two-game ban over illicit drug use

The B sample was not negative, it was atypical. If you check the meaning of that word, you will find it simply means “unusual” or “irregular”. Not possible to continue his suspension on that basis, but it does not exonerate him, and I am still waiting to hear his explanation of the positive A sample.

'My suspension has been lifted': Bol says he's been cleared after doping 'nightmare' - but investigation 'ongoing'

What, the guy who smiled and slapped his coach on the back and then stuck the knife in when he wasn’t looking ? Surely he wouldn’t be a liar too ?

'Bowled an absolute buffet': Hayden slams 'rubbish' Cummins as Rohit, Jadeja take Aussies to the cleaners

“it’s hard to do much when your batsmen get rolled for a mere 177”
What does that have to do with where Cummins pitches the ball ?
Failure by the batsmen does not provide an excuse for poor bowling.

He only reads what he wants to see.

India face pitch doctoring claims over stunning photos of ‘selective’ watering as another Aussie star drops out

Oh No. Indians doing something dishonest ? Surely not.

What they ‘All’ really need to realize……..
That would be “realise”. We are not in America.

Smith wins fourth AB Medal, Aussie star snubbed despite being ICC nominee, Mooney shines in stellar year

Still trying to justify the actions of this group of backstabbers I see.

Team was 'afraid of JL, that's the truth', 'walking on eggshells': Players lift lid on Langer anger in doco
