**** off then

How can she slap!?

How can she slap!?

Awaiting TJB's thoughts on the incident. I do have some sympathy for the guy ITBT.

Equal rights equal lefts, etc etc.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

It will as long as Starc keeps getting carried by vastly superior bowlers while escaping all criticism for being a letdown

That is the exact polar opposite of the truth, and you know it

I mean he gave away a win and you're still on his dick.

And look, this happens too frequently. Not every bowler is Cummins either in terms of quality or role but for a tearaway Starc's destruction to faucet ratio is heavily tilted towards the latter. He just goes missing too often.

Lameeeeeeeeee

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I never said he wasn't poor this test. That does not make your opinion any less deluded, nor your anger any less pathetic

And if anyone cost Australia the win it was Paine anyway

Baby steps

 

[Burgey]

What ****s me is that he's got the reputation of a Stuart Broad when he just doesn't turn up often enough and his worst is waaaaay worse too. He just doesn't build pressure often enough and he's literally only there for dubious variety reasons.

I don't know where you get this from. I think Starc is pretty much regarded as a comparatively distant third among the three quicks by most everyone - even casual watchers of the game. And he certainly gets pretty proportionate criticism on here from everyone, including Australian fans. Him being inconsistent is a known quantity and the price you buy him at. I also don't think he's been particularly bad at all this series up until this test where he's received justified criticism for bowling poorly.

(except Skull)

 

[Burgey]

trundler's posting in this thread has been of the same quality as paine's keeping on day 5

It seems he's taking this draw harder than most Australian posters for some reason.

The Comms always seem to rate him ahead of Gillespie and Haze

In a world where Pakistan aren't competitive even in NZ I must extract whatever joy I can from India losing

 

[Spikey]

Trundler is absolutely deluded. Have they never actually seen people post about Starc before. Are they basing their world view on more Facebook posts. Living in another world

As everyone who actually watched the tests would know

The Comms always seem to rate him ahead of Gillespie and Haze

That's just you being deluded again

 

[Spikey]

Like, you can have your opinion, but you seem to be in a world where Starc is given a long leash by fans which is not the world Starc has ever been in

 

[trundler]

Okay I could be wrong on that one and that could be tainted by one sensitive moron but I'm still not a fan

 

[GoodAreasShane]

It is literally the exact opposite of reality what he is claiming

trundlers arrogance only outweighed by his ignorance

 

[GoodAreasShane]

one sensitive moron

Exactly what you are

He also hasn't really been given that long a leash in the side. He played all of one Ashes test in England last tour. He was good last summer against some pretty ordinary opposition, namely the current number one test nation, and has been fine this series up til Sydney
