Collingwood Magpies and Cronulla Sharks tragic. Massive fan of F1, AFL, NRL, Cricket and just about anything where a bunch of people put on the same outfit and run around after a ball. Fair minded and open to debate, love having my opinions challenged, in a robust but fair way.

Looks like a Bernie and Micko circle jerk got out of control…..

What a horrible little man you must be. What a horrible thing to say.
I seriously doubt you would have felt the need to write this garbage, if you weren’t a fan of the white man ruling over all and sundry…..
Can rugby league do any more to tackle racism?
Are you still here?? The 50’s are calling, they want you back…..

TB, you sum this up so perfectly. Very well said, and I will be pinching your summary going forward, hope you don’t mind.

Who is freaking out? You guys have lost the plot.
Talk about snowflakes. Someone wants to call them “batters” and you lot can’t handle it. Wow.
Cricket’s shift from ‘batsman’ to ‘batter’ is the right one
Here we go, throwing around words like “woke” and “PC” gives you away I’m afraid Micko. What exactly are you worried about? Why so scared??

Ridiculous comment. If you have nothing constructive to add, then leave it out. Seems you are fearful of something that doesn’t exist. No-one is coming for you Jacko, just relax and enjoy life.

I guess reading Lisa Stalakers comments made me think about what girls think (and I mean young girls thinking about playing cricket), and maybe there is a positive to making this minor, very minor, change.
But Paul, no one is forcing anything on you. Look forward to your next article.
Cricket’s shift from ‘batsman’ to ‘batter’ is the right one
Come on Bernie, its ESPNcricinfo just referring to players as batters and bowlers going forward. No one is coming to take your rights away, or force you to do any of that woke lefty stuff, relax and enjoy the cricket.

Been a lot of strange hot-takes on this issue, but this is the gold medal winner. Yes, of course “batsman” is just an amalgamation of “bats” and “woman”. I really hope you are joking on this one.

Hi Paul. I must say its a strange take you have come up with on this one.
I cannot see anyone being forced into anything. The author is commenting on ESPNcricinfo changing their style guide, and how he agrees its a good thing. And how that at some point in the future it will just be normal to use those terms. I’ve used “batsman” forever, and struggle to adapt to “batter”, but I cannot object to others doing it. Its a positive move.
As to who it benefits, we might need a female view on this, something which to this point in time is lacking in these comments.

Lord have mercy. No it hasn’t been in place for “a thousand years”, please do some basic research. Its a new rule.
And if you can find me at least two examples (I’ll take one) of a front running car finding themselves in this position after a red flagged race, I will bow down to your grace. Bottom line is this rule is in place to remove backmarkers from the restart, and in this case Lewis found himself as a backmarker, and made the most of it. Not his fault, but surely it made a mockery of the race.
F1 must do away with its unfair unlapping rules
Yes, thats why I said for future seasons.
I agree, with what you are saying, but the FIA are surely looking at it for next season and beyond.

Remember last year when he missed that race, and it was the only time in 7 years that Mercedes have totally ballsed up a pit stop, with wrong tyres!!??
Poor George/Andre…..

Chris, that was one of the most soul-destroying races to watch in those closing moments. Knowing the inevitable, that Lewis will get back to the podium after being gifted a lap. Was hard to watch.
I understand to concept of letting lapped runners “getting out of the way” for the race restart after a SC, but it makes no sense after a red flag situation. Surely the FIA will look at that for future seasons.
F1 must do away with its unfair unlapping rules
The rule is there so that lapped runners can get out of the way and won’t interfere with a race restart after a safety car. It makes sense (although plenty think they should drop back down the order, rather than going past and unlapping). It makes zero sense to do it for a restart after a red flag.

Now Ben, this seems uncalled for. If you can’t be nice…..
Plenty of die-hard fans and pundits on F1 don’t think that Chris’ position on this is “utter garbage”. Whatever you think of Lewis, the system is unfair and Lewis benefited from it on this occasion. Its not impossible to make the system fair, its very easy to do so, and I would be surprised if the FIA don’t act on it for next season at least.

Did you miss the bit where Lewis drove off the track, lost his front wing and fell a lap behind?? You might gone to pop the kettle on and missed it.

Gus delivers some strong words on NRL suspensions and HIA rules
I thought the same thing. Anyone who has ever been the junior in their work knows the feeling. When the boss is on hols for two weeks, the step up is amazing for the confidence.
Bone bruising forces Franklin out for up to a month
It will be hard to form any love for this Super League.
Its tough enough with the Champions League, and that at least has a qualifying aspect to it, easy to achieve as it is for the top teams. This just seems like entitlement 101.
The ‘Super League’ is everything that football isn’t
Agree Nat. Not sure the “dog act” slur can be thrown around just yet.
Panthers have missed the point about arrogant antics
Yep, its like the Panthers are batting at 3/450 and instead of pointing at the scoreboard, are getting involved in some mediocre sledging war.

Racing incident JGK??
'What the f--k was he doing!' F1 diver goes troppo at rival for causing nasty crash
Paul, we have been very lucky with lower order batters these days, but surely there are great memories of the hopeless tailender?? Alderman, Reid, Rackemann, Whitney, even Jo Angel was dire. Great times.
