anyone atm
Ouch

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: hooked you like a little fish.

Like to have another go at that post? It doesn't make sense.
Ouch
Roar Rookie
yeh you are. you possess that unique WA combination of victimhood and insecurity wrapped up in little brother syndrome - the spare, not the heir.
Ace
Roar Rookie
A bit late replying Don but yes we know Stoinis has not squeezed into WA's side or is anywhere near the test side but I was only suggesting that any one could make more than the inconsistent Head and the dreadfully out of form Labaschagne at the moment
JamesH
Roar Guru
He picked the wrong time to have a poor Shield season with the ball
JamesH
Roar Guru
Definitely, but that sort of support is the kind of thing you want from a 9 or 10. 8 should still be capable of building a bit of an innings, and of our tail I think only Cummins really has the ability to do that now.

Will be Green's "Stoinis NZ tonne" (1 good score for whole career)? Methinks NOT. This kid got talent! Head should be shown the door to shield cricket. Marnus should have his CA contract torn up ASAP. Been a dud for over a year.
Little Billy Bagwell
Roar Rookie
Head and Marnus - bin them both. Need to earn their way back. Head in particular is a complete joke at the moment. Getting picked on a few flashy tons vs crap opposition. Williamson and Ravindra to make dads army look like a corn daddy! (NZ phrase)
Ace
Roar Rookie
Not making consistent runs at any stage. A flashy ton every so often is not enough
Western Roo
Roar Rookie
Nah don’t agree, stoicism naaaahhhh
Western Roo
Roar Rookie
Yeah but can’t make runs all the time. Lucky green made runs otherwise you wouldn’t be after his head as well- no pun intended
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Hardly. Have you been reading conversations today?
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Strange chap.
Ouch
Roar Rookie
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: you're upset right now

Roar Rookie
I’m not interested in your response any more Don. That’s usually what “have a good day”, in this context, implies for civil folk. Just to make it abundantly clear – have a good day.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Well, I'm imagining you want a response. Isn't that why you're pork-chopping?
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
We have to value what you have to say for it to upset us. You aren't one of those folk.
nics
Roar Rookie
And yet you replied to my comment too, indicating you were in a conversation. Oh bless. Have a good day.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Have that conversation with yourself. Nothing to do with what I was talking about.
