[Kenneth Viljoen]

Congrats to @CartyDurham on becoming CW's fastest ever state vice-captain.

Carty is like a Bazball version of comments , can this be sustainable over a long period ?

No I'm certain that run rate won't be maintained.

if you are oli norwell, i am the guy who lost the activation key an DM'd you on twitter, then got impatient and bought the game again before you replied the next day

Ha ha no, I was Brownbear, the guy who did the players and gave Oli loads of feedback/ideas for the game (probably too many!). I think I remember you from the now-defunct forum (which got closed down to the huge spam-attacks). I email Oli now and again but we kinda lost touch. Last I heard he's busy with family projects, but I live in hope he'll return to Cricket Coach one day.

i'm still absolutely fuming.

also what are your thoughts about that pitch and what we are likely to see moving forward.

also whoever is comparing this Ashes to the 2005 series is having a laugh. this was the battle of who's gonna fail harder not heroics from either side.

also it's my birthday

Happy Birthday

I was only using 2005 to compare as Australia won the first test in that series

of course it ended in Englands favour

that may happen in this series , who knows but as I’m an England fan, I hope it does

I feel like CW is regressing to about 2004 with some of the asinine back and forth "chat". Just with fewer uses of "lol" in posts and a distinct lack of @lord_of_darkness


Use the post reaction tools, FFS.

Wasn't around quite back that far, but is this really such a bad thing? Was a lively place for mine.

Dire. **** word, etc.

It's quite weird that Robinson seems intent on having a crack at Khawaja, having had to be dragged away by Anderson of all people yesterday. I know his tweets were made ages ago, but in that context, it doesn't exactly look good.

Australia should start calling him 'Tommy'.

I hope you're not referring him to you-know-who ...

because i see it

I refer you to Merv Hughes and Graham hick

I refer you to Michael Clarke stating Anderson should prepare for a broken arm by Mitchell Johnson

he is trying to create a him v me contest to try and get in khawaja head

khawaja clearly put him in his box

that’s all it is nothing else

Maybe it is, but all those you mention are white, and neither Clarke or Hughes tweeted racially motivated jokes about the others at some time in their past before these incidents occurred. In that context, it's not a great look, regardless of how he feels now.

He probably is just trying to get in Khawaja's head. He'd be better served concentrating on his bowling and fielding though.

What was funny about the incident with Khawaja was he approached Khawaja and said something, and then got the shits when Khawaja said something back. He's not at the local pub.

I’m not excusing Robinsons behaviour in the past believe me

I hate twitter anyway and all the racism that goes on makes me vomit

I really think this incident was like I said

classic ashes going at each other as I said about previous series and players

it’s happened for decades and probably decades to come

let’s not fool ourselves that both teams won’t be up to antics to put each off or get a psychological edge

that’s sport at elite level , whatever creed, culture or religion

 

[loterry1994]

Whatever Robinson is sledging he went after the wrong things the first test. He goes after khawaja who top scored in the game then he goes after Australia’s tail that won them the game

 

[CartyDurham]

Merv Hughes was an all time great player but he was not a gentle chap when taking wickets especially of England team players. He was right in the face with the swearing

Clarke did want Anderson’s arm broke by Mitch Johnson

those things did happen

Exactly he was made to look foolish. So khawaja put him in his box
