Re: Australia v Windies Test Series
Bomber, you’re fa**r*king kidding. West Indies ain’t even a nation but a loose coming-together of islands. They’re all heading of to Yank basketball, EPL & 2nd div Championship or IPL rather than playing for the “West Indies” non-nation like ye olde days. This so-called “Test” Series will be a disaster for Crickette Straya and TV ratings.

Or when they pretend that the UK has entered the competition. We also laugh at it too.Bomber wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 1:41 pmMeh, not much different to when "great britain" goes to the Olympics.

Re: Australia v Windies Test Series
How come Smith has played so few innings, did he drop out of the game for a while for some reason ?C U Next Saturday wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:06 am Smith 29th test century in 155 innings - third quickest to 29 test centuries

Re: Australia v Windies Test Series
Early in test career , Smith was dropped after the 2010-11 season and didnt play test cricket for another 2 years....
Guess a lot players get dropped during their test careers

Re: Australia v Windies Test Series
If you dont get dropped though your entire test career fair chance you wouldn't be banned/suspended during it ...
Can see why you're only a GIAE first year apprentice...

Re: Australia v Windies Test Series
You went on the line of him being dropped when I bought it up .... but yes Smith did miss a portion of his test career and good to see Cricket Boards being harsh on it ..... Just dont forget when you have dirt in your pockets...

Great Britain is 3/4 of a country. Imagine how much we would beat you by if we sent the entire country.Bomber wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 1:41 pmMeh, not much different to when "great britain" goes to the Olympics.

Re: Australia v Windies Test Series
Would you put sugar in your pocket though, we know Bancroft would.
The mint one always makes me laugh.
No proof this happened.
No law against chewing on mints.
If there was, why do aussies never mention ponting and chewing gum.

Re: Australia v Windies Test Series
That's about as easy of a test series as you'll see. Well, since England last year.
