Australian Domestic Season 2020/21

They're teaching kids to challenge authority, that to me is a win no matter how you look at it unless you're a bootlicking simp.

 

[Spikey]

smith already challenging authority by undermining future australian captain pat cummins tbh

MacNamara making a ton of sense in that article.

Getting out is an emotional moment for any batsman and they shouldn't cop too much for being a bit emotional in that moment. Sure, expletive filled diatribes directed towards the umpire should be punished but short of full on dissent, just move on with the game.

 

[Nintendo]

Batsmen are human beings, expecting them to be 100% alright when they cop a **** decision at a key moment in a game is just splitting hairs. Especially in marnus's case where he copped dogshit calls in both innings.

 

[Spikey]

I mean, Marnus did a walk to square leg when the dressing room was past point, and Smith walked off in slow motion, and both glared at the umpire when they did walk off. It was a bit much, and on the back of MMarsh's one only weeks earlier, it's a fair enough article. Batters and bowlers have been getting **** decisions for 100 years, they don't have to suck the umpire off, but they can walk off the field without staring daggers at the umpire and the body language of a toddler

I'll note that a former beloved member of cricketweb.net/forum had this to say

You think this is a new thing?

 

[Gnske]

I take it back, Spikey and Lalor have convinced me. I'm offended Steven Smith is poisoning the well of our children's minds by being salty that he's out.

Imagine being unironically disappointed that Marnus Labuschagne was unhappy with an umpiring decision as a grown adult on Twitter. Being disappointed in a guy who takes cheese toasties in his pockets onto the field.

 

[the big bambino]

I'm just so glad that we have the likes of lalor, murphy and spikey taking offence on behalf of the umpires who saw insufficient to complain about. And walking off while shaking his head - poor form, hurrumph, think of the children - who would never have seen it until buggalugs dug it up for twitter.

 

[TheJediBrah]

If I was an umpire that made a genuinely **** decision I wouldn't be doing anything to bring more attention to the situation even if my feelings were hurt tbh

And walking off while shaking his head - poor form, hurrumph, think of the children - who would never have seen it until buggalugs dug it up for twitter.

I mean, I never said think of the children. I just said it was poor behaviour which it is. Take the bad decision and move on with your life, by the time you've walked off the pitch there's no reason to be staring at the umpire. I mean, the first dig last match, Marnus approaches the umpire as he's walking off, there's no reason for that. The fact of the matter is that Steve Smith was captain of a team who took their poor behaviour to ball tampering levels, and wants to return to captaining that team, so his on field behaviour is going to be micro-analysed at every step (like it was with the silly pitch stuff). Marnus is being floated as a possible test captain option so the same thing will happen to him (although I don't any of us think he's a remotely suitable personality)

I'm not sure how we can say they made a bad decisions with Marnus last game anyway. The first one last match, well as Furball would say, leg stump is a stump, and the second one can't really be judged by us as we don't have stump mic. So we're left with the disapproval of Marnus, who thinks he's not out when he's plumb LBW so I'm not sure his thoughts count for much

Yes the umps have to be respected but geez as an ump you'd expect to get that every match. What Lalor reported on was such a non issue it didn't even get reported. And maybe they realise the decisions were poor. Compare this to the tennis where umpires have to put up with frequent disrespect from jerks like Kyrgios and no one clutches their pearls over the future of tennis.

also kyrgios is a hero.

‘What the hell’: Legend’s swipe at Marnus

Australian legend Ian Chappell has called on Test batsman Marnus Labuschagne to pick up the pace while exiting the cricket field after being dismissed.

I was convinced until I got to the Kyrgios bit.

 

[Spikey]

I mean, quite seriously, I don't think there's any point comparing to different sports. each sport has it's own different culture and rules. Tennis players carry on, but tennis umpires also hand out point penalties when it gets bad, which has ended matches, and of course they can DQ players. I think cricket umpires can hand out 5 run penalties for players who carry on, but I'm not sure it's ever happened, or if it has happened, more than a handful of times, and they've only just introduced the ability to remove a player from the game

 

[Burgey]

there's no reason to be staring at the umpire

Of course there is. Umpires need to know the game isn't about them, and that when they make bad decisions is affects the careers of players. Literally their livelihood.
They need to pay for their mistakes, and to have the adoring followers of big name players forever treat them with contempt. They need to be Bucknor'd

 

[Midwinter]

Of course, the bowlers and fieldsmen should also be able to show their unhappiness with decisions when the batmen are given not out.
which they know should be out.

No batsmen ever stays in when he know he is out, despite the umpire giving them not out.

HTH

 

[Spikey]

I should note, I'm very much not a fan of Hazlewood's LBW appeals which see him turn around and actually appeal when he's basically already past the batsman

It wouldn't be a problem if the LBWs were actually out...

 

[Gnske]

Bowlers think everything is out, batsmen think they're never out.

Neither is wrong, unless you're Stuart Broad.
