Dude your years-long obsession with this fantasy enemy is getting ridiculous. It's not even remotely relevant to anything being discussed right now either. Sometimes you need to take a step back

Haha, yeah. I have no idea what the **** he is on about either. It appears he has taken much of what is written in here seriously and considers it a manifesto.

He's got a delusional obsession with a phantom

 

[GIMH]

His post was scarily accurate tbh. Y’all should reflect

I haven't seen him make any posts about Chris Martin at all tbh.

Trundler really getting under some skin here with his home truths

That Smith lbw being given was pretty terrible.

He was beaten all ends up tbf. He should learn from James Coles and hit the ball with his bat.

I think this everytime someone complains about being given out lbw or caught behind when they think they shouldn't have been

Fair enough you might have been a bit unlucky but you were still beaten. Next time middle the ball

Yeah there's no chance of copping a rough lbw decision if you don't get rapped on the pads. If anything you're in some sense lucky if it happens and it's not actually lbw.

I am taking the piss a bit and there's a lot to be said for developing your technique in such a way as to only get rapped on the pads when you're outside the line or it's going down leg, but crap batsmen get beaten in a way that isn't out more often for the same reason they get beaten more in a way that is out - they're crap.

Gonna have to come clean and admit that the guy with a fighter jet username and avatar might just be a little bit interested in fighter jets.

What is it about being isolated from the rest of the world that makes a country grotesquely over rate their journeymen cricketers to the point of comedy? The only rival Australians have in this regard are the Kiwis who have somehow gaslit the world into thinking Chris Harris was a good cricketer. Anyway, can the Aussie contingent pick one between Burgey, TJB and SoC as their Migara-like mascot? Having one around to point and laugh at is good for the forum ecosystem as they represent meme opinions no one takes seriously but one-eyed nationalistic dick waving is only funny when microdosed.

Good post. Could have done with a touch more light heartedness and the timing was weird (would've been better placed in a heated discussion about the mythical strength of grade cricket), but these are all very encouraging signs as we build towards the Ashes and aim for maximum waahhh.

Yeah reeled them in with that one.

This post had been made two hours earlier, I think it was partly a response to that. It was also definitely just rancid bait though lol

Half of these guys wouldn't make a Melbourne First Grade XI

The irony of this is it wasn't intended like that at all and Trundler was genuinely just having an awkard, massive cry completely misreading an obvious joke as a serious comment

Wouldn't even call it bait. That implies that there's a reasonable expectation that someone would take it seriously and bite, which I definitely did not have

To be fair you might have a point about Carse. Carse is arse.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Might do ok in Melbourne 3rd grade though
