Australian Cricket is just eating itself!!
Michael Clarke is such a flog. Of course he doesn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Aussies played cricket, and they should focus on winning, not being liked. Which misses the mark by like Harmison's first ball of the ashes.
Simon Katich of course piled in, because he and Clarke are best of mates, along with Gerard Whately, who is a decent journalist.
Clarke didn't like it much, and called Whately a coward. This from the bloke who thinks threatening a #11 with a broken arm from someone else is tough. In a massive surprise, Matt Hayden thinks it should be alright to call people fluffybunnies from 1st slip.
Who wins out? The new public attitudes? or the guys who won a lot?
-
@mariner4life I don't mind us concentrating on winning provided we're not being super-shunts while we're doing it. A bit of shutnyness is expected in the heat of battle, mind.

-
@snowy that's also a degree of shuntyness on the aussie scale of reference 😎🎣😁 only matched by the Indian scale of passive aggressiveness
-
@paekakboyz Apparently there is a line. Fucked if I know where they put it.
-
@snowy up the nose!! I hear coke can come with a dose of arrogance 😎

Nah. An arrogant Aussie cricket team? Go on.
-
Soooo how did you get your handle snowy?? 😂😂 lol I was slow on the uptake on that one!
-
@paekakboyz Nah, you weren't. Never tried it.
I'm not in the mood to explain my handle.
-
And there's a test match against the Indians starting on Thursday.
I'm guessing Bill Lawry won't be saying, "And Khawaja goes bang"!

Really looking forward to hearing the new 7 commentary team. By the sound of it will be much more insightful/informed and much less blokey than the 9 coverage.
This is a great Cricinfo article on how the team was put together: https://t.co/uYXreZYMKs

Cheers fella. I got to the point of turning off the 9 Commentary - it was abysmal, and cringingly matey and one eyed. So, yeah, hopefully a better crop with 7

That Seven commentary team looks unlistenable, the b-list commentators available from the late 90-00's and some pretty cynical picks for diversity. Oh and Bruce 2000 during the intermission - outstanding.
Most good cricket commentators have been good skippers who thought the game well or absolute battlers who were lucky to get a handful of caps. Seems to hold true for that group although Gillespie may be an exception.
-
gee, in a huge shock, the Adelaide Oval is expected to favour the batsmen.

Can you list the comms team? I have no idea and can only listen in silence at work

They would smash the current side if they met each other

Where's Mark Nichols?
Geez....seeing that written one could be mistaken for thinking I was upset he's not there....
