@WG_RumblePants @jimmaxcricket Nice. Thought it would be tough to beat Coogee but I think it does by a margin.

🗣️ Luis de la Fuente:

“I’m so happy we won the World Cup. This is the happiest day of my life, thanks to Ferran Torres’ goal. But we also need to talk about the VAR and the referee. I have never seen a bigger robbery in my coaching career than this. It looked like they wanted Argentina and Lionel Messi to win it again so badly.

The referee was practically Argentina’s 12th man on the pitch. In the first half, there were several fouls that he ignored, but the worst was the challenge on Dani Olmo. Mac Allister tackled him with both feet, which is a red-card offense, but the referee and VAR ignored it.

There was also the challenge on Yamal, where a player stepped on his ankle from behind. The referee ignored it, and VAR didn’t intervene either.

Argentina should be ashamed of receiving such favoritism in a World Cup final. They had the officials on their side, but we were fully prepared for everything. In the end, football won.”

@WG_RumblePants And if Nicholls had held on when he was 8..

@WG_RumblePants After Perth and Melbourne it’s a terrible ad for test cricket. I don’t want to see 3/600 but 17 wickets a day is worse. Why can’t the staff get it right all of a sudden ?

[Graham Crouch @GrahamP_Crouch]

@WG_RumblePants I’m older now than they were then but they still seem impossibly more adult than I could ever look.

[Graham Crouch @GrahamP_Crouch]

@WG_RumblePants @rprasannag Agreed. I’m an Aussie and expected a proper contest. It was over after two hours into Day 2 in Perth. Hubris writ large. Absolute schoolboy behaviour with Baz. Cricket isn’t a hard game to strategise and they just kept making the same mistakes over and over. Just tough it out.

@WG_RumblePants My first Test experience was a super test. Watching the Windies up close was unforgettable

@collinsadam Well played boys. Fully deserved recognition.

Why have an event at all ?

[Stereotypewriter @babumoshoy]

Cricket journos have conceded significant ground to the Influencers & the worst is not over. Often told what to write, they are now being told what to ask. There’s a Delhi Capitals event today & the PR agency has politely shared 5 questions that journos are supposed to ask 🤣

@collinsadam Clearly. Always shocked. Love seeing a 100k capacity venue with service staff and a few freebie school kids making up the numbers. Jai ho.

@BenStiller Is the new soda heading to Australia, mate ?

[Graham Crouch @GrahamP_Crouch]

@immy_sj @malcolmconn Charming.

@malcolmconn @collinsadam @Final_Word_Pod @JayShah @BCCI Looking forward to India playing India A in a seven match round robin WT20.

[CONSEQUENCE @consequence]

Jack White on Trump's decision to attack Iran: "Don't you love seeing him declare war on a country while wearing a trucker hat that says 'USA' on it? Behold the leader of the 'Board of Peace'. For the next war announcement donny, may I suggest having your feet up on the Resolute desk while eating a Big Mac in a velvet track suit? Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Cuba, what's the difference right? don jr. and barron won't have to fight or die, just other people's children, so...invade and bomb away! New sign ups for the "board of peace" starting at one billion dollars! Can you believe donny hasn't received a real Nobel Peace Prize yet? Unfair! Maybe in his third term he'll get one.

[Graham Crouch @GrahamP_Crouch]

@Bobbywomack123 @__RedRabbit__ @MrPitbull07 Or pay staff properly from the outset. Now there is an idea - and people won’t have to have these aggressive complications. FYI Kangaroo is a bit lean for my taste. Prefer crocodile.
