What has happened to Test Cricket

Post by billy the kid » Fri Aug 02, 2019 9:58 pm

First Test has started Australia -v- England...
Why are the players wearing numbers on their backs...
Is it soccer...is it rugby league/union perhaps...is it baseball..is it grid iron...
Why is there a female commentator..are we just being politically correct...yawn yawn....
Why did the umpires make seven umpiring mistakes yesterday...are they both useless...
Why are they still booing the sand paper trio...
Why do they call the womens test series "The Ashes"...when there is no womens ashes...
Someone tell me when they burnt a bail and placed the ashes in an urn...what a joke...
Are there any commentators actually speaking...play seems to continue for periods of silence....
Maybe no-one really wants to commentate with a female commentator.....
I cant think of anything worse than sitting there in a commentators box all day sharing the commentary with
some no name female commentator who knows jack shit about the game...
Its mens cricket...maybe for the next match they can have female umpires...they couldn't be any worse...
I think Ill paint the wall.... :rofl :rofl :rofl

Its coming...the rest of the world versus islam....or is it here already...

Whos the scrag interviewing Mark Taylor....I think its a bloody insult...Taylor being interviewed as though he is a guest of the
interviewer...he should be the anchor man...bloody disgrace...

Good for you...many cricket fans will be disappointed by the crap they are dishing up now...
Todd Woodbridge anchoring a coverage, interviewing Ian Healy, a cricket legend, and some stupid woman...
Its gone to the dogs...
The male cricket commentators...not Woodbridge...would be just putting up with having to work
with women who know jack shit about the sport....
How many men commentate on netball...gimme a break... :shock: :shock: :shock:

Dear Billy,
why do you use a picture of Elizabeth Hurley as your avatar?

Maybe you wish you were Shane Warne?

Some sports are dying...I guess they need a bit of "femininity" to get more bums on seats...
I still think the umpiring is atrocious and reducing former test cricketers to mere supportive roles
is a bit denigrating to the players of yesteryear...
