TOPIC:

Joan the whole of Cricket Australia is a mess..Most of The team are mainly a PACK of individuals who collect their huge pay check but do not have any commitment or team spirit. They fight and argue amongst them selves and most are Egotistical would be's. I thought Micky and John would sort it out but doesnt seem to be the case

The Poms will be laughing so loud we could hear them from here.

Seems like they may be using the AFL model to run the great game of Cricket.
Did I say cricket it certainly ISNT CRICKET OLD CHAP.

Apparently was involved in an altercation with an England player after the game on Saturday ( Joe Root - who?). He may be sent home as a result. This is the last thing the Australian team needed on the eve of an ashes series. Warner is on the verge of getting the flick I reckon and having a line put through his name. You think he would have kept his head low for a while after that Twitter stupidity.

Mike, If you dont know who Joe Root is I fear that you (and everyone else) soon will.
Averaging 42 after 6 tests ( 1 century and 2 half centuries). Averaging 53 after 11 ODI's. Averages 52 after 46 first class matches.


Stands up pretty well to the superhero in his own mind Warner (another ugly aussie thug). Averages 39 after 19 tests, averages 29 after 39 ODI's, Averages 45 after 31 first class matches.

head to head australia 85 new zealand 34 n/r 5.
watson out 2nd over caught behind by luke ronchi.
hughes run out.2 down for 10 runs. kiwis put 3 slips in pace for bailey.

Think you will find that was the other way around Joan

your right mikeh - warner had a swing and nicked root.

a bit harsh singha - warner is hardly another aussie thug,your leaping to wild conclusions based on an incident you know next to nothing about. and i get it you dont like the aussie's.

I would suspect hat Warner would have been getting in early with the sledging of Root and his name and Root probably told him to get rooted and he went on from there. I can see a sledging bonanza from the crowds when the ashes comes to Aus.

To much money is paid to nobody's and its getting to ther heads, why work hard at test cricket when you can be like Maxwell and get $1million for IPL, and he didnt even play a game

Agree 100% - way over payed underperforming bums...

Honestly cant even be bothered with them. Perhaps a 5 Nil smashing in the Ashes might wake up some of the numpty administrators here.

Nothing will change BAZZA I really think half the players and administrators are in DENIAL and cant even accept critism. The PR and Psychs must be busy boosting them up and telling them there is nothing to worry about.. There is certainly a lot to worry about.
