David needs to concentrate on the basics of cricket, such as using the piece of wood in his hands properly.
Not the umpires

David Warner's bizarre call to have umpire's stats shown on big screen to help players make DRS decisions

Unfortunately, right or wrong, the perception is that SC do whatever the GM, or ex-GM VIPs tell them to do. Especially if your from one particular team.

At the end of the day, wind tunnel testing should’ve been mandatory but Gen 3 has been stuffed since its inception. More competent people have been fired for less and the series will die because of it.

60 glorious years of an iconic race: Supercars Bathurst 1000 talking points

Go have a look at the reports coming out of Bathurst this afternoon. It might be closer than you think! 😱

Abbott and Stoinis?? I’ll have whatever the selectors are on.

Risky business: Aussies taking two major gambles with World Cup squad after Agar injury puts selectors in a spin

Not much to meltdown over. An injury is an injury. Will guarantee Sangha a place and best of luck to him

Marshter blaster: Mitchell sizzles in stifling heat as Aussies end pre-World Cup slump with thumping win over India

Carey out, Inglis in.
Emergency SOS to get Ashton Turner over there.

Unfortunately I think it’s all going to be for nothing as early indications are its a win toss, bat first and win tournament.

I was trying not too directly say the ‘P’ word but the whole Gen3 roll-out has been disastrous.
There’s talk that they’re finally going to send a couple cars to the US for wind tunnel testing but it’s 3 years too late.
And remember that Gen3 was meant to create closer racing at a cheaper cost. Neither of which has happened.

Supercars talking points: Erebus vs Triple Eight, Master & Apprentice win and we relish the return of the Sandown 500

I think the biggest thing to come out of the weekend was the rumours of Ford leaving the series to the point where they were forced to release a statement that amounted to ‘well, we might as well stick such out our contract to 2024’.
They’ve already pulled safety car and advertising sponsorship. All this after Penske got pissed off and pulled out of DJR too.

The series is on vapours, crowds are down, viewers are down. No one is going to watch a Camaro cup in 2 years time and even the best drivers are getting outspoken about how crap it is.

It’s been such a great series for a number of decades but all things eventually come to an end.

Very winnable game IMO. obviously keep Doncic under control but I think we have better depth across the board especially in the key.
Would like to see us dump it low early, Cooks could be up for another big one.
Main thing Goorj has to control is Kay getting isolated on D at the top of the key. If Slovenia start to do it, he needs to get White in quickly to support.

Look at Luca: Boomers set sights on Doncic with Slovenian superstar out for revenge after Olympic exit

I think that if we avoid US, we’ll likely get Canada in qtrs who have bought a strong team and look good on court.
Its going to be tough to get through the next round but I think we need to be realistic about our medal chances now.
That Germany lost really hurt.

WCE kept Simpson on just to piss off Eddie 😛

As a long time Boomers follower I still feels nervous about these games but realistically we should win this by 10-15.

Should be noted all Aus, US and finals are available on Kayo freebies.

FIBA World Cup preview: Can the Boomers open their account against Lauri Markkanen's Finland?

Kayo freebies has all Boomers, US and finals games.
Kayo subscription gets you 95% of ALL games.
ESPN is the carrier so if you have access to them via another method I believe you get the same access as well.

How Boomers can be next Aussie team to conquer the world as generation next steps up

Hurn, Shoey, Nic Nat. There some salary cap freed up .
Someone needs to tap Gaff on the shoulder too.

I don’t think you’ve turned your back when it was clear you weren’t playing for the Opals ever again.
Multiple Nigerian players have now taken to social media to say ‘no thanks’
In the same interview she also said she wanted to be the GM of a WNBA team!
I’m at the point that I just feel sorry for her.

Cambage turns her back on Opals to switch allegiances for Olympics despite 'she called us monkeys' racial allegations

They have to go to India in the New Year first….

UK View: 'The moral victory is real' - Poms revel in Pat's 'failure', downfall of 'dastardly' and 'scared' Aussies

2-2 is the same scoreline last time Eng hosted the Ashes. So you could argue that Bazball has done nothing more than keep England competitive in their own conditions!

But it did rain, and they still don’t hold the urn.

Every player rated from the fifth Ashes Test: Spinner shines, Davey defies doubters, but is Cummins cooked?

Not buying it. Wood (plus Woakes) have been huge in turning the series around after Lords. For him not to bowl until after 30 overs means he wasn’t fit.
Before he bowled, he also spent a bit of time off and in the ground.

'He's fit': England play down concerns over Mark Wood's fitness

I would been worried that we might of been 5/100 stumps.

UK View: ‘Mixed bag of brilliant and brainless’, 'restless, skittish, lackadaisical’ - English media turn on Bazball over blunders

It all reeks of the enormous chip on the shoulder / hatred that BMac has for Australia.

If you don't worship Bazball then you know nothing about cricket - just ask anyone from England's deluded cult

They’re so excited that Bazball has made them competitive in a home Ashes series, it’s like a 3yr old who prefers to play with the box, rather than the toy that came inside.
Even if Eng win the last test, all they’ve done is equalled the 2019 result. It’s hilarious 😂

“So once that wears off, I think the middle of the week it’s going to actually not spin so much. ”
Someone want to tell him that the one that got him didnt spin much either??

'Disappointed with no one getting a big score': Marnus worried Aussies have let sizeable total slip away

And if the ball is swinging, bowl him more. He looked really effective in 3rd test but was underused.
I feared that Cummins captaincy would see him bowl himself less, but I don’t think he’s using his all rounders properly at all

Selections aside, Australia can regain Ashes with tactical tweaks to negate England bats and combat Wood’s fire

As by the rules, Broad was completely entitled to wait for the umpire to give him out, just as Carey stumping Bairstow is in the rules.
So if he wants to lecture about morals he need to look into his own backyard.

Stuart Broad has just given Pat Cummins a lecture on moral standards. The audacity is gobsmacking
