@Sportsfreakconz Lol, my summation or nz cricket's initial "derring-do" (or lack there of)

[Dominic da Souza Correa @teddypaton]

@Sportsfreakconz Kind of an impressive achievement, in a way. I mean, it's fucking teal! Colourful to the point of being borderline neon, and yet, here, utterly boring to the point of near total tedium.

[Dominic da Souza Correa @teddypaton]

@Sportsfreakconz How did they manage to make the teal seem so... beige. Not in the fun retro beige brigade sense, mind you. More the bland, devoid of any quirk or outward expression of joy sense.

@sgowsmith1988 Like it. Like it a lot.

Such an impressive fight back from NZ bowlers since the power play. From being 74 for 1 from 6, the next 10 overs went for only 70 runs and 6 wickets!

[Dominic da Souza Correa @teddypaton]

@AkramK2108 @Stevenrowe25 Yes, there is a bit of a double standard in some circles, though I think there are a lot of us who don't like that he got selected for NZL A either. At the domestic level I'm not sure if employment law has some say given the (troubling) verdict, but we still find it concerning.

@Nivory_ @whangazadam @Neo_Ed8 ...
And while these two's behaviour was certainly unprofessional, troubling, and self-destructive, it was never as egregious as what SK himself attested to on the stand. Bracewell's career in particular, seems to highlight this bizarre and disturbing inconsistency in selection.

[Dominic da Souza Correa @teddypaton]

@Nivory_ @whangazadam @Neo_Ed8 When it comes to representative selections there presumably can and should be some kind of "suitability" clause, but yes, I have wondered whether employment law ramifications are a complicating factor at the regional level. For national selections, though, personal conduct can..

[Dominic da Souza Correa @teddypaton]

@Nivory_ @whangazadam @Neo_Ed8 ... absolutely be a disqualifying factor.

Setting the bar at "criminal" (leaving aside the troubling verdict after his revelations under cross examination), is both disturbingly low and inconsistent with previous selectorial decisions, e.g. Jesse Ryder, Doug Bracewell...

@davemacpherson7 ....
They gave the best fuel for conservatives engaged in the distraction of culture walls screaming against the "woke" of any government I've seen. The few things they did do are pretty much gone already. It's not a great legacy. Unfortunately.

[Dominic da Souza Correa @teddypaton]

@davemacpherson7 ... came back with a range of possible policy changes and actions for the government to adopt or take.
They failed to decisively tackle any one of those issues or make significant material change on any one of them, or completely implement any of the recommendations...

@davemac00 @PronouncedHare I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that if Trump had simply put his inheritance in a savings account he would have more wealth than he has currently...

@Samhood8 Broadway is such a waste of real estate. The whole place should be buzzing with activity — bars, cafes, and restaurants with balconies or rooftops, busy and interesting retail all along the street, but there is none of that. There's barely any sound of life, just engine noise
