Absolutely and it is unfortunate that sweetie Burgey who took such a principled stand on Monkeygate then proceeded to denigrate an entire city (Chennai) on these forums.
Hypocrisy at its finest

A **** hole is a **** hole mate. It doesn’t get a free pass on its open sewers surrounding its cricket ground in fetid Heat and humidity because calling it out offends your sensibilities, any more than Brisbane gets a free pass for being a desolate wasteland because our erstwhile Qld posters continue to like it despite the sheer boredom and the fetid stench off the river.

 

[Manee]

There is surely no way that Natarajan performs well. I refuse to believe it.

 

[Burgey]

Natarajan

Think this fella will do a lot better than Thakur tbh, which probably won’t surprise anyone. Is he a confirmed starter yet?

 

[Teja.]

Guys, cut out and stop responding to the irrelevant Chennai/monkeygate stuff please.

Go have an overpriced meal at Eagle Street **** you'll love it and change your terrible opinions about that noble city.

 

[Burgey]

Quite right Teja. I’ve responded in a restrained and principled manner as always, but will let it go in the interests of forum atmosphere, and with apologies to the fine citizens of Brisbane for bringing them into this

Think you have both teams pretty much spot on with the exception of Natarajan. Be a bit surprised if India played him ahead of Saini.

 

[Manee]

With the change of openers and Wade back in the middle order that Australian team now looks pretty dangerous!

Of course. You saw the rest of our batsmen, right?

They might just do that though coz of the variety and the fact that he might be able to create footmarks for the spinners.

This covid breach is just the inevitable shitstorm about nothing to fill in time until the 7th. Why can't Sydney get their **** together and start the test earlier than this? New Years test... gtfo. Sydney (just to be clear, the **** *****) are making a mockery of the new year just as those people who mock GIMH with belated new years wishes each year.

Pretty sure @GIMH s insistence of new years wishes by 7th led to the test here starting on the 7th.

I think it's time we ramp up this sub forum and take it back to the glory days in which no member standing would be without infractions
