2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

[stephen]

"Young and free" is ageist

I always took it to mean we were a young country.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Australia has had 4 different captains in 4 consecutive tests before

Billy Murdoch, Tom Horan, Hugh Massie and Jack Blackham

In 1884/1885

Yeah but once they got to 4 captains in 4 tests, you can no longer say they had 3 captains in 3 tests. That's how it works.

 

[Burgey]

Finally! Watch him go now. Will kick on and make 8.

[OverratedSanity]

Oh god they've started with this redemption story nonsense already . Where's bancroft and warner's redemption story you *****? Or were their teary press conferences not convincing enough?

 

[stephen]

They were not a country though. More of a collection of countries.

Semantics aside, it's annoying because I'm old and curmudgeonly these days more than anything else.

Impact with the bat, yes

if that's the case you should be angling for GSTQ to still be the anthem

 

[stephen]

I'm not that old and curmudgeonly.

And yes, I'm aware of the fact that AAF has only been the anthem since the 70s. But that was pre-TOTAB days and therefore of lesser importance to the country.
