this is a thread where you put all your angry cricket related rants and vent anything you need to vent without being judged by the rest of the forum, because they're doing it too. er, hopefully.
feel free to delete this thread if it's a terrible idea, and please do not be dicks to other users for their rants.

steve smith. this sounds so ridiculous but it pains me to watch him bat. some players are prone to poor shots or edginess when they're on 2. it's awful to have to watch smith flum around for 150. with all of these india one-dayers it's ridiculous to see a batsman be able to flick through square leg so cleanly and then the very next ball play the most disgusting agricultural hack you've seen. they say it's a "unique" technique. it's also a unique technique if i go out to bat and hold the blade and try to hit it with the stick but guess frickin' what it's not a good one. i struggle to even put reason to how he succeeds and dare i say it he can make a test match dull and boring to me; sure it is entertaining to some to see his strange technique at work but i find it just horrendously boring and unappealing, as well as the fact on the roady mcroads in australia once he's in it's rarely an even bat and ball contest, but that's a different rant.
more rants from me to come later about australian pitches, selectors, quotas, aggression and more but let's have a look at what the rest of cricketweb can dish up.
