I'm actually secretly hoping the ECB ban Stokes for the summer and Durham get a full season of Stokes. We can then plot our attempt at promotion. Unpatriotic I know, but what with a load of one-day rubbish clogging the international fixtures it is rather easy to be unpatriotic...

"I understand from the camp that Bairstow and Bancroft were having a drink together. Their heads met. They carried on drinking together."

Did Bancroft, caught up in the wave of excitement of the gay marriage vote, try to kiss Bairstow and their heads just clashed accidentally?

Or did Bancroft, like many Aussies, simply try and get away without buying a round and JB gave him a quick nut just to remind him?

Is Bairstow homophobic, better not let Stokes find out.

Aren't Aussies all politically correct multicultural sorts these days? All obsessed with elf n safety and walking around with buckets of foreign poncy coffee?

Their government sticks refugees in concentration camps, so no.

That's where terrorists belong.

Is it ok to call them concentration camps then.

I read a report that the Aussies had changed the green and red man that you cross the road into a green woman in order to not offend people who are prone to be offended by such things.

I like my Aussie wearing a mullet, driving a ute, listening to AC/DC while drinking XXX and saying things like 'yer dirty mongrel' and 'fair dinkum'. All the Alf Stewarts and Joe Mangels seem to have been replaced by Michael Clarke types.

Meanwhile in England

Teachers should not refer to pupils as “girls" or "ladies” because it means they are “constantly reminded of their gender”, the Government’s former mental health tsar has said.Natasha Devon told headteachers of the country’s leading girls’ schools that they should be using gender-neutral language when they address their students, and added that the same applied for boys.
Speaking at the Girls’ School Association’s annual conference in Manchester, she said that she would “never walk into a room in an-all girls’ school and say girls or ladies” because it was “patronising”.

 

[S.Kennedy]

We probably copied that from you chaps.

When are you going to bring back the Flying Doctors and Cell Block H?

Oh take it to the Political Correctness thread FFS

Seeing the Politics subforum leaking all over the place is one of the most annoying things about CW in recent times.

 

[S.Kennedy]

It is certainly a sophisticated political discussion. The one interesting bit of trivia I know of Aussie politics - and I'm not having a pop here, honest - is Harold Holt Prime Minister going for a swim and basically vanishing (shark?). Can you imagine if that had happened to an American president or British premier? We'd have had a few Hollywood films out of it, certainly, yet as a bit of trivia it is curiously obscure (outside Australia).

We'd have named the Olympic Stadium after them. They just settled on an Olympic sized pool.

1-0 Aussies I'd say.

If true and it's not some bullshit, Bayliss has to go at the end of the series. He's presided over the team and let this indiscipline grow rife. Don't think Root is exactly the guy who will bring his men into line either.

Hopefully they can still hit Bairstow( if true) and Stokes with big fines. Stokes shouldn't be allowed to play IPL for a couple of years.

Woudn't be surprised if it was bullshit though, exaggerated massively to cause problems for England.

Even if it's not bullshit I still want Bayliss to go, the team hasn't actually improved under him and he's been here for ages now.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Well the one-day team improved but I couldn't give a monkeys about the one-day team so I'm not a fan of Bayliss.

How much of that does Bayliss take credit for though?

Genuine question because I think a good chunk of the improvement can be put down to selecting players who are good at the format, and a team culture that has identified a style of batting to follow and where the batsmen are encouraged not to be afraid to bat positively, which seems to be driven as much by the captain as anyone.

I read a report that the Aussies had changed the green and red man that you cross the road into a green woman in order to not offend people who are prone to be offended by such things.

I think the reasoning was not about offence, rather than this would help empower women and make girls aspire to being all they can be.

 

[Gnske]

Well when you put it that way,

Basically S.Kennedy we think women are really stupid.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah it used to be horrible in Australia, women would constantly be stuck on one side of the footpath if unaccompanied by a man that could guide them across the street. Thank god they changed it.

“I don’t know JB. He just says hello to people differently”.
- C Bancroft with a post-game quote for the ages.
