Legend. Make him skipper

Either marnus or CAM green ide say.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I know Marnus has taken biltong on to the field before, so my money is on him

I feel we need to know the contents of said sandwich to better inform our guess.

Cheese or perhaps cheese and ham. Tomato no good for the whites

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Spaghetti w/sauce - Travis Head
Bacon and egg - David Warner
Cheese and onion - Nathan Lyon

Spag would have to be a jaffle rather than a sandwich press job

Ham and pineapple - Marnus

True, I think jaffle is a possibility here though.

Even seemingly innocuous incidents have irked some players. During the Brisbane Test Langer ordered a player not to persist with a habit of jamming a toasted sandwich in his pocket to eat on the field.

“You’re walking on against India, we’re trying to win a Test match and one of our players walks on with a toasted sandwich in his hand,” Langer said. “I spoke to [the player] about it at length yesterday. I said, ‘How do you reckon it looks, mate?’ Is that not something I should say?“

I think it's completely understandable if the stress of the job is getting to Langer, and it's an extremely human thing for people to not get along.

It sounds like the coaching staff had the right ideas and the players generally understood and appreciated that. There were just some barriers in communication. Generational gaps, and the pandemic has made things worse.

Hope they're able to work it out amicably.

This has Lyon or Starc written all over it, no wonder poor lads were bowling as if they were famished.

I don't know if anything good can come of coaching that reaches the level of how things look.
It shouldn't matter how things look - just how effective they are, like with Murali. Toasted sanga might work.

Langer sounds like Kumble as a coach. There is a reason the players revolted ultimately.

 

[Victor Ian]

The more i think about taking toast onto the field, the more i think this guy is a genius.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

All we need is some guys on the field with chaat in their pockets.

 

[Burgey]

Cameron Bancroft.

it was all a misunderstanding

 

[honestbharani]

Its time to accept reality - India won because we had the better coach. Ravi Shastri, Bewda himself, is THE ONE.

He allows Rishabh Pant to smuggle samosas in his pants during the game, he allows Rohit all the vada pavs he wants. He lets Kohli yell BC till he himself wants a break. The model coach, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Midwinter]

With the amount of drinks being run onto field at each game, there should be no need to take a sanga out with you.

One of the drink runners should have the toaster on the boundary for whenever a player feels peckish.

A mate of mine used to always field with his phone in his pocket lol. Like the sandwich thing, it might make a player hesitant to dive for a ball in the field which arguably is something a coach should take issue with
