strange culture of australian sport

Post by rulebritannia »

one thing i've noticed here is this culture of rewarding a good player by removing him from the game.

it happens in AFL, a guy scores a goal then he gets subbed. now i'm seeing it with the Australian cricket team. a player gets man of the match and he is dropped for the following test.

this is a strange incentive

You "earn" a rest. Sounds ok to me, hopefully my employer gives me a day off after doing one good day's effort. :wink:
