**Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

[vicleggie]

Marnus and Starc too.

Polish and Moroccan

Btw was Mitchell Johnson ethnic? He looked very exotic. I saw Anglo-Indian mentioned in an article once, but it didn't seem reliable.

Part Indigenous perhaps?

 

[silentstriker]

Oh my God. You selected six bowlers. Get this guy off before you bowl him into the ground. Rohit you ****ing muppet.

 

[Victor Ian]

What's Starc's background?

his parents were swingers

 

[Gnske]

Yes he was quite the exotic species wasn't he.

Just Welsh. They can look like quite subtropical sometimes.

I shared a flight with a former aboriginal Olympian (I think it was me and not Social) who mentioned that Johnson is part aboriginal. haven't checked or doubted it. Just took her word. Btw she was as charming as she is attractive.

Yeah, Ali Cook, Tom Jones etc.

 

[Starfighter]

Can you lot above pipe down?

Interesting. That's what I thought tbh. From Queensland, wouldn't surprise me.

The Welsh argument is believable too, if you look at his family, who aren't that swarthy.

 

[Gnske]

Yeah, Ali Cook, Tom Jones etc.

Because I watched Zorro I thought Catherine Zeta-Jones was some kind of exotic muse from Mexico. Imagine my shock when I learned she was as Welsh as having no literacy skills.

Btw casting the Welsh in Latino roles? How devastating.

 

[Starfighter]

Only two overs into the session and looks a different ball game now. Akash has bowled really well.

 

[Gnske]

With every replay of the shoulder barge I get more bored

Virat = bad / Konstas = good, I get it now

North QLD at that. QLD having the highest proportion of indigenous in the country at around 5%. Few of them live in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, most live north.

 

[morgieb]

What's Starc's background?

Slovene heritage. Not sure to what extent though.

 

[Gnske]

Is it really necessary to refer to our Traditional Owners as 'them'?

 

[vicleggie]

Virat reminded me of a drunk, angry Indian man going home from a Melbourne pub without picking up, with that passive-aggressive shoulder barge

 

[stephen]

Is it really necessary to refer to our Traditional Owners as 'them'?

Yes, when it's grammatically appropriate.

 

[Gnske]

Yes, when it's grammatically appropriate.

You othered our Traditional Owners right there and we all witnessed it.

It's alright I've reported you to Spark so hopefully he can have a word on this.

 

[Nintendo]

Be interesting to compare bumrah's false shot % against defensive shots and attacking shots this series and compare it to some useful baseline. Feels like attacking players are creating less chances then they should relative to the defensive shots this series.

 

[Nintendo]

Loose shot that from Khawaja. Was his issue last summer aswell. He'de get to 40 odd than start playing loose as drives with no footwork.

 

[Gnske]

That last loose drive would have been a classic Khawaja bowled if it was aimed at the stumps
