His arm shape on his drives are the best in cricket right now. Just perfection.

This sounds weird to say, but yesterday I suspect I may have met Jono. Or at least had a real-life transaction with him of sorts.
Did he start drooling and massaging his nipples when you mentioned Kohli has a triple in him this series?

I've chatted with Jono via whatsapp and asked him to come back for the Aus-India series.

He said he'll have a think about it but he's got used to not being on here these days.

He also stipulated that if he does return, it's on the condition the following posters are banned. His reasons are in parentheses:

***** (obviously. And too beta as well)
h_hurricane (just a punish)
weldone (see ***** and h_hurricane)
honestbharani (just in case)
sanz (see HB)
sunilz (even tour threads have their limits)
Migara (no real explanation needed)
J_C (allowed in draft threads, because no one cares about them)
OverratedSanity and any other Precam multis (again, obvious)
Any poster who defends Chennai as a city and/ or cricket venue (we need a return to rational debate)
Borges (adds nothing)
stephenZA (twee)
Anyone who has 50% or more of their posts in draft threads
Gomez656 (basically a bot)
Ikki (politics subbie only)
GIMH (politics subbie only).

Jono also indicated that his return is conditional upon each of the following being placed on a strict watch list to ensure their posting meets the standards he (and I for that matter) expects:

Daemon
harsh
Shri
slippy888
CricAddict
Usman Khawaja's brother.


Now, obviously Jono's views in this regard will cause a bit of blow-back from those whom he rightly doesn't rate, but I'm only passing on what he's told me, so it's important not to get Beta-antsy at me over this.

What are the forum members' thoughts on his criteria? I think they're pretty reasonable, but I'm going to throw this one open for discussion.

I mean, I'm not saying these things, Jono is. Jono comes up to me all the time and says these things. Sad.

Weather is set fair for tomorrow

Always exciting when an Australian opener debuts

Think Slater, Hayden, Elliot...there's always a crackle of excitement in the air

Best of luck to Harris - a West Aussie who has actually earned his spot in the team

I'm also hearing that Warne won't be commentating for Fox in Adelaide, as he is at Karl Stefanovic's wedding

Along with Julie Bishop, Alan Jones, Peter Stefanovice, and Richard Wlikins

Kyle Sandilands has also been invited

MMarsh out!

Harris
Finch
Khawaja
Darsh
Handscomb
Head
Paine
Cummins
Starc

Obviously more worried about the batting than they are getting four overs per day out of an allrounder in an upcoming heat wave.
