Wow fucking dumb from Labiashame and Warner there. Morning like giving a shot duck half a chance
The most selfish Australian player that’s a big call, I can names 20 other to rival that statement.
Not a Warner fan but he kept his mouth shut through that SA sand paper fiasco .
A couple of the main culprits got off scot free.
He took most of the blame and a couple of bowlers got away with that one.
A lot more to that story if you talk to a few people.
As I said not a Warner fan but he didn’t nark add I will give him that. -

Queenslanders fucking hate Warner. Or anyone from NSW. Particularly when a QLDer suffers.

As I said not a Warner fan but he didn’t nark add I will give him that.spot on.
But he thinks his ongoing taking of the fall and lying is 'leadership'. That I disagree with.
His book when he retires is going to be a cracker I reckon

No leadership shown by Warner he should never be given any leadership roles neither should Smith he is knee deep in the whole show.
It will be a great read and may bring down a couple of careers and hurt some Australian cricket officials who lied their butts off. -

@NTA said in Australia v South Africa:
Anyone still want to blame the pitch for South Africa being shit at batting?
you still beating that drum?
I don’t think anyone on here rates the Proteas batting. Their top order is brittle and their lower order are a shout back to the 80s and early 90s lower orders.
But that Gabba wicket was a shocker. Why were the Aussie batters speaking out about it too?

Pity?
Maybe they wanted to blame the pitch instead of their technique as well?
Maybe they wanted to play mind games with the visiting team?Ultimately they were saying it was tough to bat on. Elgar asked the umpires whether it was dangerous.
Test batsmen have gone soft.
The pitch might not have been balanced perfectly but sometimes that needs to happen.

Watching the Aussies, I always remember how much I like Steve Smith as a batsman.
I even like when things were not going well, he went and worked pretty hard on correcting things, didn't apparently get a coach etc, just worked out where he was going wrong. Have respect for top sportsmen who do this, I think good batsmanand bowlers are coached well young and then really don't need as intensive coaching as they know what is right or wrong probably more than someone who hasn't perhaps been through things at such a high level? -

Commentary earlier was saying the Proteas don't have an analyst as part of their back room. They were shocked. I'm shocked.
Well I'm pleased! They sure as shit don't have a nail remover, as most of the batsmen seem to have feet nailed to the ground!!

Warner will get a ton today.
Called it.
Chances not taken and a guy out of form makes hay.
I know my cricket pal. No two ways about it. He made it a double just to prove me more right.
I hope cowboy1982 has a meltdown about it too.
EDIT: Just reading the score and got confused as to why he wasn’t in…..why did he retire ?

It’s really hot. Cramp & exhaustion. He cramped up on his celebration
Jeez Alan Border wouldn’t stand for that.
didn’t he tell the late Dean Jones to harden up when he was battling the heat and exhaustion in India on his way to a double ton to send a Queenslander out to bat ?
Fucken Queenslanders huh @NTA
EDIT, here it is
The day Jones defied illness, India ... and a bristling Border
His epic 210 in the hellish heat of Madras, when he battled crippling dysentery and an unsympathetic captain, goes down as Dean Jones' crowning glory.
