Whoa, look at all the shitposting overnight. I might check out until the next test series. I think I'm all cricketed out for the moment anyway. What's the next one coming up? WI vs AUS?

I thought it was a pretty robust conversation about the pros and cons of absolute thuggery in our gentlemans game

Hey man, shitposting is just part of our culture and what makes this cricket thread the best in the world. I don't know what to say if you don't get that. I mean, it's not as if you never poo poo post - we all do it. Funny how it only gets pointed out when we've got no games to talk about. :rolleyes:

I guess it wasn't shitposting as such, more it was another long discussion about sledging. Again. I'm over it, but probably shouldn't have said anything. Keep going, whatever. Nothing else to do until cricket starts again I guess

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Everyone remember when he was captain, coach, selector, best bowler and top 3 batsmen in the team.

Screw his achilles; his back and shoulders would be wrecked from carrying the team.

Probably as good a squad as Australia could select. England will be giving us some flat wickets though so Lyon better get ready for some overs.

Unbelievable career for a man with his cricketing gifts - a spin bowler who never had any turn, and a batsman whose best shot was the ole crouch-and-squirt to square.

The weakest response you can give to sledging is whining about it.

At the time I was all in favour when I heard them seriously suggest he start focusing more on his batting and he was coming in around #5. It was a sad time for NZ cricket.

I am not sure if sledging should be compared to paedophilia but it is more like a paedophile being judged by another paedophile no ? I am not excusing Australian cricket. I don't think Australian cricket has anything to excuse. It is the way cricket should be played. What I am saying is that we are no worse than nations like England and India.
