People can’t do anything now. Certainly nothing dodgy without do gooders finding out and forcing tearful apologies and resignations.
Such different times though, Warnie woulda copped a fine, said ‘get fucked’ and then continue playing.
It’s a new world now.
That's the difference though. Paine resigned and wasn't sacked (legally very difficult with the squad already named and him having already been cleared for the incident).
He would obviously be under serious pressure because the next individual or team failure would likely result in his sacking "on form". Score a 100 in the first test and win though and things change very quickly. But he isn't Shane Warne and that isn't on the cards.
His tenure was approaching a natural end anyway, it's just the path of least resistance for him.

Prolly my favourite sporting event.
Tour match has started today but Cricinfo aren't doing score updates.
First test is December the 8th.
Love that Tim Paine is getting hammered as I would prefer to see Steve Smith as captain. (When is that being decided??)

Same. But everyone seems to be predicting Cummins with Smith as a vc
That makes PC sense but not practical playing sense to me.

La Niña is here, says BOM, so prepare for a wet summer in the east
We've finally reached La Niña threshold, indicating conditions are primed for rain. On cue, the east is expecting heavy rainfall over the coming days with more flooding on the cards.

/Selfish/ That post makes me happy as we need a wet track for Polly Grey at Rosehill /selfish/

Fair enough. What date(s)? Looks like it'll still be wet through to the weekend.

NZ Ashes wins: zero.
No participation medals either
Be cool if there was a Ryder cup/Lions type event in Cricket (Asia v ROW)
It would never rival The Ashes but I would watch.
Imagine the thread when it came to selections.

Aussies should be able to put a strong bowling attack together, and with Manus how could they lose?!
Batting collapses. That's how.
Who's the new captain going to be? Or do the ACB reinstate Smith?

Don't think they can, politically speaking.
Cummins is the name being bandied about. He's a guaranteed selection, beloved across the nation, and photogenic to boot.
Fast bowling captains aren't that common, though. I'm really not sure which way they'll go.
