God (no pun intended) these things rile me
but I'm actually not sure why. I mean why should I give a fuck about this theatrical nonsense, but something bothers me about it - stark gullabilitiy I guess.
I also wonder about the securely aetheist or agnostic among the group - does it all exclude them? probably not but it ain't all that natural in my book
The NZ sevens team used to get all preachy like this too...and look what happened to them

Looks like a couple of atheists standing out back waiting for the nonsense to finish
Yeah I'm sure it's not an "us and them" thing.
It's probably no big deal. I've played cricket with Sikhs and Muslims and their antics had no effect on my participation or team harmony
Agree with your description of it. -
If you look at the background it becomes crystal clear the players are actually on their knees praying for a bigger crowd.

All good, showing up now. (All on mobile)
Very easy to upload.Saw another angle and there are plenty of other aussie players standing around in the background, looks to be mainly PI players from the Aussies. Pretty sure that is Quade on the far left. Is the non praying Bok Morne Steyn?

The entire top section of the stand was empty which is a disgrace. International footy in a brilliant stadium.

In a state where stupidity has trashed a franchise, in a country where the national team got walloped twice in the last month, on a day where it pissed rain for two hours leading up.
The last factor would have wiped out about 5000 walk up tickets. The First two account for the other 20000.
