Dumb from Kickert. Beyond that, the whole incident is entirely at the feet of the Philippines players and authorities. Disgraceful behavior.
Australia aren't guilt-free, but FIBA should throw the Philippines out
Spot on Glenn. There is a big focus on workloads of bowlers in recent years. That seems to me to be reason for captains not enforcing the follow on in recent years.
Having said that, I think the pink ball tests may still force a change in thinking as there is a dynamic with a new ball in those conditions that is not in play in other tests.
It's time to bury the Kolkata follow-on myth
Good article and similar to many others that I have read from insiders. They call for the 2 sides to come together and compromise, but cannot hide the fact that that CA are the main problem.
DIZZY: Sort this pay dispute out and let's get on with the cricket
I would have agreed in recent years that the ABC was a better option. It has been woeful this year. Chris Rogers and Dirk Nannes both seem like nice guys, but their hokiness wears pretty thin after a while. Gerard Whately’s nasally whining voice is bad enough, but his giggling and wannabe one of the boys schtick is awful to listen to. He has a habit of giggling as he commentates. Not just during their drawn out boring conversations, but as he describes a delivery. When Whately is on with either Rogers or Nannes, it descends into a gigglefest, Boring and annoying.
It is not all bad.Jim Maxwell is solid as usual, Clint Wheeldon is a very good all round sports commentator and Alison Mitchell has been a breath of fresh air. Very knowledgeable and articulate. I have liked Simon Katich’s input too and the Pakistan guest whose name I can’t recall.
Some New Year's resolutions for cricket's commentary teams
He has made himself look more like a chop now.
He could have done the interview after his innings and let his feelings be known, but chose not to and accuse others via social media of not having the balls to do something face to face.
Very entertaining batsman, but happy if I never see him in the BBL again.
He just doesn’t get it.
Chris Gayle goes after haters in social media rant
Shaun Marsh is 32. He has been playing first class cricket for 15 years now for 16 centuries and an average under 40. Not sure that he is the answer to Australia’s problems.
Lara Bingle ?
Apart from a creative use of Wormulon, your post made no sense.
Where to now for Michael Clarke?
I agree that the GF should stay at the G, but “largely funded by the tickets, TV subscriptions and merchandise of Victorians.” ?
There are a couple of clubs from WA that put millions into the AFL subsidising some basket case Victorian clubs just to keep them going.
This is another argument for another day, but you are over reaching with that statement.
Time to move the grand final away from the MCG
I flew over from Fremantle last year for the GF. If Freo ever make it again, I will fly over again. The GF being at the MCG is part of tradition and it is the only stadium in Australia that can do the occasion justice.
It certainly did not feel like we were outnumbered last year and marching with 10 000 other Freo supporters from Federation Square to the G on the big day was an amazing experience.
I am not against change, but I see no reason to make changes to something that is already almost perfect.
Time to move the grand final away from the MCG
I admire the fact that they are managing to keep it together under such difficult circumstances. The rest of the article is a stretch though, suggesting that they are all hard done by.”I was told the whole situation would only serve to make the club, its players and all its supporters even stronger. A year on, and I can only agree.”
Nothing has caused me to change my opinion from when this all started that the players, especially senior players should have smelt a rat. Management should have smelt a rat and the medical staff should have smelt a rat.
I cannot believe that Thomson is allowed to coach this year given what he allowed to happen.
I hope it is resolved sooner rather than later for everybody’s sake. I certainly don’t have a lot of sympathy for most of them.
You don't have to like them but Essendon deserve respect
Terrific article.
There were some supporters of Ange that trusted him to deliver right to the very end. Even after he walked away, leaving the national team in the lurch, he was being defended.
This article sums it up very well. He had so much goodwill on his side and he squandered it with his pig headed arrogance.
“What he seemingly still fails to realise is that we were in fact with him, we were right there behind him, many of us until the bloody end. But there is a threshold to the trauma the faithful can take as a result of their leader’s unwavering commitment to his ideals. Once that threshold is breached, the bonds of their leader’s commitment turn from virtue into vice”.
