3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

[Teja.]

Don’t tell me to calm down, I’m as calm as anything.

They’re out here so they follow the protocols in place. 5 of them have just demonstrated they don’t care about the protocols, they’re dining indoors and hugging fans. Morons.

And spare the “they’re human beings” tripe as tho this is an oppressive ask. They’re overpaid athletes being asked to stay in a 5 star hotel and play a game of cricket. Just go there, do it, and go home.

As I noted in the beginning of the post, I was referring purely to them expressing their preference (the shock the horror) to not go to QLD which I think is a fairly reasonable thing to have a mild opinion on.

I am not condoning the shitty outdoor dining behaviour of a few of them.

 

[Teja.]

Whoa, calm down Jamal! Sorry if I hurt your feelings whenever that happened. Now: You were about to regale us with your knowledge about pandemic protocols, Dr. Fauci?

What?

Why did you call me Jamal?

 

[Spark]

Also, wtf is with ordering chicken mushroom sausage fried rice? That’s the real crime here.

that sounds pretty good tbh

 

[GotSpin]

I wonder what the cricketers of yesteryear would have thought of these tours after they spent four months on a boat for **** all pay

 

[Gnske]

On the flip side, the fan is an idiot for sure. But I can just imagine the slew of threats he's been getting since this erupted.

Because **** would get infracted.

I did feel bad calling him a virgin, but I had to make the joke

 

[Burgey]

Man, there’s a joint down the road from here that does some ****ing epic fried rice. Cheap too.

I hear the fella who owns the joint spent 70 years mastering the art by cooking nothing else

I’d feel more empathy for them and the Bris quarantine situation if a quarter of the squad weren’t caught red handed breaching the protocols.

What those 5 have done throws shade on the whole squad and their ability to be trusted following protocol guidelines.

Just fkn go to Bris as scheduled by Cricket Australia and play the test under Qld’s conditions. Those 5 dickheads forfeited any right they had to complain about the conditions they’re under.

I'm sceptical of any person who ever wants to go to QLD tbh

the fact of the matter is once CA committed to playing in Sydney, the Brisbane test became at risk. CA are trying to make it work, but it's silly and they should just go back to back in Sydney

The Sydney test is the most flaccid and boring denouement of every test summer, I can't take 3 days of this across two test matches.

Yeah wtf, should’ve called you Steve if he wanted to be racist

 

[the big bambino]

Oh the butthurt.

 

[Teja.]

Dude, just fyi, being a racist dickhead is not banter.

This is always the case isn’t it

- Mildly controversial thing happens
- People post their opinions
- Some people make jokes and have a laugh
- HB makes multiposts
- Some blow in with no stake in the forum comes in and makes a dumb nationalistic comment
- TBB types come in and take everything at face value and make it super serious
- Burgey keeps adding fuel to the fire and watches in glee
- Daemon saves the thread and gets all the ladies

 

[Red]

TBB?

Dude, mate ... don’t get me wrong. I approve and admire. In an us versus them shitfight pointing and screaming racist is the go to: the clutch play. Commentators were wondering why you didn’t do it earlier.

TBB?

Wag
