For the uninitiated, ‘Bazball’ is the nickname given to England’s approach of ultra-aggressive batting at all times…

Didn’t the Walker brothers (the ex-NRL players, not the singers), win a QRL premiership with Ipswich(?) by playing an attack-at-all-times policy?

Why desperate Rabbitohs need to adopt NRL's version of Bazball - it's a guaranteed win-win situation

Yep. They like doing things in reverse down there. Their footy umpires frinstance…

Incredible drama as Victorian Premier Cricket club go full Bazball, win grand final with all time run chase for 70-year first

Meanwhile… Another Qld SoO player, Tino F, gets badly injured in a dubious tackle and the tackler again escapes punishment…. Is there a pattern emerging?

'Duty to bend' debate over Walsh hit overshadows 'absolute genius' Cleary torturing Broncos in statement Panthers win

Agreed. After many slomo viewings…The Penrith player jumped into Walsh, made no effort to soften the impact *and* led with his head. It was insightful how all the usual suspects were chanting “accidental” every 3 seconds.

Ashley Poss, it’d be a top giggle if *all* the players agreed to bombard this rounds post-match cliche fest with multiple F bombs…

'I don't care if I'm swearing': Latrell set to escape NRL sanctions despite foul-mouthed radio interview

But the rank hypocrisy is what does my head in.

Nope, it’s the invalid comparison wot’s doing that. There is no footage of the Kerr Incident…

'I don't care if I'm swearing': Latrell set to escape NRL sanctions despite foul-mouthed radio interview

what do triple M expect and want putting a microphone into Trell’s gob?

That he could manage not to be an oaf? You know, like every other player has managed…

'I don't care if I'm swearing': Latrell set to escape NRL sanctions despite foul-mouthed radio interview

Yep, Mitchell has now reached that lofty status which was first defined by another resident Sydney intellectual, Christopher Dale Flannery. He’s a “Koala”.

'I don't care if I'm swearing': Latrell set to escape NRL sanctions despite foul-mouthed radio interview

You should be a bit more thankful to League Phil. If it wasn’t for us you wouldn’t have anywhere decent to play your tedious & silly game…

'I don't care if I'm swearing': Latrell set to escape NRL sanctions despite foul-mouthed radio interview

Anything else?

Smashing former team-mate Joey Manu’s jaw with a high shoulder charge.

One wonders what the NRL’s actions would have been if it had been a Qld SoO player who launched a F bomb barrage?

'I don't care if I'm swearing': Latrell set to escape NRL sanctions despite foul-mouthed radio interview

smacks of hypocrisy.

Not really. An individual can always declare that they don’t agree with their governments’ policy.

Where there *is* a double standard is in not applying a similar sanction against Bangladesh. They’re not sexist, they slaughter anyone who criticises the status quo.

Australia postpone Afghanistan series again due to 'conditions for women and girls getting worse'

Some players are only motivated when it is all on the line … step forward a player like Mark Waugh.

How about some justification for that assertion?

The Dean Jones example that Australian selectors must avoid in regenerating ageing Test squad

…whether that’s dropping Travis Head or Cameron Green to make way for Smith in the middle order…
A Reliable Source says that when Smith was offering to open the batting he was told that under no circumstance would he be returning to the m-o if he failed opening.

Test Mortem: Epic comeback win but cracks remain in line-up, Shield form has to count for something, Pat should bat higher

Has Australia had a clutcher captain since Steve Waugh?

Could you please list the “clutcher” match-winning 4th innings he played as I can’t recall any.

Every Aussie rated from second Test and series vs New Zealand: Heroic Hazlewood, clutch Carey, sub-par Smith

Error!
Not Scott. The other one. Ben Sears.

Marnus regains form but Australia's ongoing middle-order woes put heat on Carey as Kiwis claw back into Test

Someone who follows Shield cricket more closely than me might be able to nominate half a dozen or so players

Nope. Like the Test team, the Shield is now full of veterans. The question that needs answering is, ‘Are they blocking the young up’n’comers, or are the youngsters just not there?

Rejigged Aussie batting line-up fails again as top-order collapse puts Black Caps on track for drought-breaking Test win

Speaking of actors… Scott Kugglewatsit looks like he was separated at birth from Veeps’ Jonah Ryan (Timothy Simons).

Put Smith back into the middle order to sure it up

In his last 13 inns at #4 Smith averaged 33.5.

Ah! So that’s why there were so many foreigners in ‘Cold Mountain’. All the local actors were dead.

The selectors will probably inflict another cut to the Shield by ‘resting’ players from some of the early rounds.

And isn’t is p1ssy now that, at the closing end of the season, we have games played on non-Test grounds? The day can’t be far off when the first time an Oz player steps onto an Oz Test ground it’ll be their first game there. Not much of a home advantage in that.

Smith can’t resist playing at pretty much every delivery.

He resisted pretty well in his last dismissal…

When you depart, you’ll be the Blink that no one misses…

Test Mortem: Aussie aura living rent free in Kiwi minds, Marnus officially in a form slump, DRS needs review

qwetzen is taking this far too seriously….

If you can’t see that this type of campaign against a current player may well affect their equilibrium, form, popularity and worst of all, potential income, then you’re a [insert withering analogy here].

Test Mortem: Aussie aura living rent free in Kiwi minds, Marnus officially in a form slump, DRS needs review

Yes it is a joking reference.

Oooooh no it’s not! It’s *still* a baseless slur, only now there are stats which prove it to be false assertion.

If you Google “Shane Watson DRS reviews”,

Why on earth would I do that? There’s enough sheeple in this group who happily bleat the media line without unearthing more of the poor creatures.

Obviously disorientated. Doesn’t the water go down the sink in Perth in a different direction to Briz?

Anyhoo, once a Qld win wasn’t possible WA were always going to win. Such is our dislike of NSW that we let WA win to keep the Sinney side away from the Final…
