Seriously?! hasn't published any posts yet

Gee I know the guy has his critics, but as a footballer he has been so good and such a pity for a bloke turning his life around. Hope he makes a full recovery as he is good for the game

Matt Lodge suffers suspected ACL tear, likely out for season

Berry said it was “blurry footage”! He was standing 3 feet from it. Then he blames a 50 foot screen, give it a rest, how bad is his vision?
Considering how quick he was to yellow card and subsequently red card during the World Cup, Berry has established himself as reliable as a politician.
Give me one good reason why he shouldn’t be demoted next week? He has set a precedent now that puts players at risk of injury – poor poor poor!

Tomkinson handed three-week ban over Banks hit

Great stuff Mary! I wasn’t sure what you were going to throw up, but the fact it is so well researched leaves no-one with the right to argue. Just a pity you didn’t drag Joey Johns down to a level where he belongs – gives some occasional great insight, but mostly more diatribe and then repeats it ten times through a game like a drunk. Keep up the good work

Referees get it right and the commentators misread the room - again

Good work Paul so based on your table and taking into consideration the arguments made for balancing up the line up with another R Hander or two why not go with:
Warner, Burns, Labuschagne (or Khawaja), Smith, Head, Patterson, Paine….More often than not Cummins or Starc have saved us with the bat so we are pretty strong here. This order should see us comfortably through the summer (i.e. Khawaja is 12th man and used if needed). This keeps with all the theories of for and against that I have read and gives us 4 bowlers and a back up spinners.

As for feeling sorry for selectors, spare me, Seriously! – well paid, first class flights around the world, free food and lodging to do a job we can all do from home. Plenty of people in Oz making harder decisions and getting none of the perks. I’m happy to take the spoils if everyone else thinks its too hard.

I wouldn’t be a Test selector for quids

Seriously, SV shouldn’t the bigger question be, why is our whole middle order (bar Smith) so poor at batting. there are hundreds of players wanting to have a go but NONE have shown any real ability since Lehmann took the reins. When that happened not one middle order batsman improved – lets just look at Handscombe – how come no-one amongst the thousand support staff that are employed around the country haven’t been able to improve him. Plenty others have flaws but none improved – and the problems stems from this CA mantra developed under Lehmann – don’t work on their weaknesses, work to their strengths! Well the opposition bowl to our weaknesses and hence they keep getting out. The waste of money by CA on so many staff and facilities to then not improve cricketers is an absolute joke and slap in the face to paying fans and juniors who pay ridiculous fees to play cricket. Forget about selecting new players – improve the ones you have already chosen.
Seriously!

Constantly reshuffling the batting order doesn’t work

Why is this all about homosexuals? I don’t get it. Maybe, just maybe, someone in his community had been committing adultery (i.e a prominent politican could be used as an example here) and he was trying to get a message to that person (s) and just inserted the whole text from the bible. At no stage have I heard him single out homosexuals? If Anthony Mundine started ranting, people just say, “oh thats Mundine, who cares” so why haven’t the Australian public simply said – oh that’s Folau, who cares!? (PS. I am not commenting on his employee contract – different issue).

Folau's contract officially torn up by RA, but court challenge looms likely
