@DryburghTom The writing is on the wall. The 100-150 gamers (LDU, Simpkin, Zurhaar, Larkey) aren’t good enough to take us up the ladder. And the next crop isn’t good enough. That’s two cycles lost. Add another 5 years to the rebuild at least.
The sooner both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are dropped from India's test team, the better it will be not only for the team but also for the sanity of everyone and everything connected with Indian cricket.
The relentless PR vs. toxic fandom circus has now reached toxic levels.
Enough with
pitch chat. Yeah, it’s seaming around a bit, but was it really to blame for gill’s dismissal? Or Kohli’s? Played pretty well when pant was sweeping starc for six. Endlessly discussing the pitch is a convenient cloak for poor techniques and muddled thinking. #AUSvIND
Ken Hinkley is 57 years old and holds the record for most games coached without making a GF. Yet here he is giving it large to defeated opposition players and making aeroplane gestures? Reveals a lot about him.

contemplating the increasing profusion of malignant freaks around this bruce lehrmann case is too much for my mind to handle, I'm being asked to picture infinity. I don't have the capacity
The replies to the original post have created such hysterical responses from delusional fans who have a creepy parasocial relationship with their club. Never seen a more wealthy club have an incessant need to be liked; even the gentlest criticism is met with ridiculous outrage.
Exactly right. Palestinians- the ultimate Other. Still despised and discriminated against in all the capitals of the West, entirely lacking effective lobbying groups or allies in the Establishment or the media, and with only one MP in Parliament. How else could both government and the opposition unite to ensure their slaughter and the daily massacre of their children? And we thiught Never Again. It's utterly shameful.
NEW: @UNHumanRights NY Office Director @CraigMokhiber resigns in protest over timidity of key parts of #UN system on issues pertaining to Palestinian Human Rights. In letter to @volker_turk he says: "This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in #Palestine."
MUST READ: "That the worst is to come is not supposition, but evident from the public pronouncements of Israel’s political leaders."

Keep my stories alive, so that you keep me alive. Remember that the world that pretended to be the savior of humanity participated in killing it.

I’m fired up. White haired males - old bullingdon club rent seekers, maybe a few colonial war criminals in the bloodline - think they’ve been cheated. Demolish the stand, auction the memorabilia to charity and flog these fossils with the Laws of Cricket.

The bottom has fallen out. The culture at this club accepts losing in the name of incremental improvement. Start demanding excellence. There is no ‘journey’ - only results. Stop rewarding underperformance at selection. Stop taking supporters and members for granted. #afldeesnorth
