Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[TheJediBrah]

I actually like all 3 of those guys. I just figured the layman would find them contemptible

When you here the commentator say, 'Dean Jones continues', you know that Australia wasn't bowling particularly well, at least in the spin department.

'Layman' being somebody not enlightened by TJB Thought.

 

[mr_mister]

Are there any other people one could throw into such a mix?


Also, it was a bit of a cheap shot at Samuels, but I've never found Stokes to be notably bad compared to Warne.

Or is there something I've forgotten?



Right. You can say what you like, and we'll just stand and listen.

Wasn't referring to you mate. Just Jedi

Don't think that was the point bud

I don't like the way you conduct yourself in arguments at all. I dont feel the same way about anyone else on the site. I think my request is reasonable and let's leave it at that

Curious that I'm the only one you responded to then when there were 3 or 4 others calling you out on what you were saying. You must have liked something about the way I was conducting myself

How Samuels isn't being absolutely torn apart by the cricketing world for these remarks is beyond me.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Bunged 'Marlon Samuels' into Google and it been aired on some sites, but only via the Warne connection


P.S.
I've not actually read any of the articles

Look at your opening comment toward me today. Of course I'm going to feel the need to defend myself more vigorously. You come in way too hot compared to others

I can think of a reason, but would rather leave it. He's also a bit of a nobody these days, if he was still playing it'd be different.

BTW, when'd Shri utter your sig quote? I missed than one, that outdoes the eating glass.

Hey I'm not saying you're wrong about that. But tbh i thought i was being pretty soft on you compared to what some of your comments deserved. I was more restrained than I usually would be because I generally like your posting. Clearly racial politics is not a topic you and me should be discussing though if that got you as offended as it did

 

[Burgey]

wait you genuinely think Adam Goodes was booed because of his race?

Of course he was. This isn't even a discussion worthy of being called a difference of opinion.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Cut it out and move on from the topic guys.

If you want to discuss intersectional politics or how post-modern morality sucks, start a thread in N+P.

^ this

also, if someone asks you nicely not to respond to their posts, please take that seriously

 

[Burgey]

sometimes.

That's very generous of you.

Yeah okay I've calmed down a bit now. Let's keep it to cricket then

Always thought there was a "block" function. Also don't think any adult should be encouraging a "if you don't agree with me don't talk to me" attitude in anyone. That's a pretty terrible way to prepare someone for real world interaction. But hey that's just my opinion, of course any forum can be moderated how those responsible for it see fit

To lighten the mood & get a different topic going ...

How is Zambian cricket going ?

Back in the day the MCC and Australian teams played tour games in Livingstone then Kwite before the SA tour.

MCC tour of 1930/31 : https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...one-cricket-club-tour-of-south-africa-1930-31

Cricket took a little longer to take off in "Northern Rhodesia" over "Southern Rhodesia"

But they have 3 test cricketeters born there.

Phil Edmonds https://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/12486.html
Neal Radford https://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/19314.html
Henry Olonga https://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/content/player/55675.html

Colin de Grandomme's old-man : https://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/content/player/55366.html

Can think of a few decent players who played a lot of FC cricket in South Africa too

Kenny Jackson (Trott's step-bro) https://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/45709.html
Stephen Bruce https://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/44252.html
Bruce Roberts https://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/46993.html
Ivor Foulkes https://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/45125.html

And now Junior Dala for SA : https://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/545467.html

Probably some others ? But don't know if there is anywhere to search players by where born.

Hasn’t he had feuds with prior and waugh too recently

His feud with the elder Waugh is anything but recent.
