7-400 at lunch, pretty much going to need a miracle from here to win.

What happens away from the game you can't control.

Boof couldn't control players during a game. Big difference

Technically it was off field. What if he wasn't in the room for some reason? Doesn't matter now anyway he has resigned.

 

[DoggiesBoy]

I think SA won that days play

India man, Don’t worry our next crop of players from NSW are of high integrity and non cheating bloodlines. Waiting in the wings are:
Arjun Nair, Gurinder Sandu, Param Uppal and Jaskirat ( Jason) Singh Sangha

I think SA won that days play

It was close though.

Would you have been consulting Roxy Jacenko?

If I was in his position, and thinking of my future, I would likely consult with a PR firm. I don;t know much about this woman besides what i've seen in the media (ie: he husband being in prison and her being a publicity whore), but don't know her work personally.

 

[DoggiesBoy]

damn cummins out, fine 50 none the less though. We can't win this match but be nice to see a bit of the fighting spirit anyway.

OKAY SO LET'S GET SOME PERSPECTIVE!

If you think ball-tampering is our national sporting shame, you haven’t met Matt Lodge.

If a sportsman really wants to feel ...the wrath of Australia, it seems, he needs to damage a cricket ball. Not a woman.

The disgrace of a nation. Australia’s shame.
A dark time for sport in this country.
It’s been a rough week for our national obsession.

We’ve seen three men hailed as heroes brought to their knees by their own stupidity and arrogance.

It’s shocking, really!

Steve Smith, Dave Warner and Cameron Bancroft are flying back to their homeland today to pay the price of a dumb decision, a morally bankrupt call, a low act.
We can’t remember the last time we all felt so let down by our sporting heroes.

It certainly wasn’t when Greg Bird – then a star player for the National Rugby League’s Cronulla Sharks – was found guilty of smashing a glass into his girlfriend’s face.

It wasn’t when Nick Stevens – a former vice-captain of Carlton AFL club – admitted to repeatedly beating his partner Laima McKenna, including threatening to kill her and kicking her while she lay cowering on the floor.

It wasn’t that time the Sydney’s Roosters’ Blake Ferguson was convicted of indecently assaulting a woman in a nightclub or when South Sydney’s Kirisome Auva’a pleaded guilty to drunkenly assaulting his ex-girlfriend.

And it wasn’t when North Melbourne and Adelaide “legend” Wayne Carey broke a glass in his girlfriend’s face and was then convicted of kicking a responding policewoman in the mouth.

No, none of those incidents were a national disgrace!

As the new football season begins, the NRL boasts four players who have been charged with domestic violence.
And that number doesn’t even include Matthew Lodge, the Brisbane Broncos player who is expected to be a star for the Queensland team this season despite an ongoing dispute over $1.6 million in damages he owes an American couple for beating and terrorising them – and their nine-year-old son – during a home invasion in 2015.

Lodge was walking on a Manhattan street when he began to harass Carolin Deykeyser, a young German woman. It was 4am when he followed her and repeatedly told her “tonight’s the night you’re going to die”. Terrified, she began to madly press the doorbell of a random apartment.

The man who lived there – Joseph Cartwright – opened the door to save Deykeyser from this drunk, furious Australian footballer. Instead, Lodge barged into the apartment’s foyer and began to beat Cartwright, punching him repeatedly in the face. He then ran into the apartment, where Ruth Fowler, Cartwright’s partner, and their nine-year-old son were hiding from the ruckus in the bathroom. Lodge began to smash up all the apartment’s furniture, while a terrified Cartwright was locked outside, waiting for help.

By the time the police came, Lodge was trying to punch his way through the bathroom door to the little boy and his mum.

Now, Matthew Lodge is back in Australia, and has been cleared by the NRL to be one of the Bronco’s poster boys this year.

‘’We let back blokes back into the game who touched women and hit women. I wouldn’t put him in that class with other blokes like that still playing, so let’s just move on,’’ captain of the Cronulla Sharks, Paul Gallen, told the media ahead of his team’s opening game against Lodge’s Broncos.

Oh. Well, then.

None of this behaviour is a national disgrace, of course. None of it brings sport into disrepute, or points to a toxic culture, or sees big-name stars stood down for significant periods, losing their status and income. None of these incidents dominate the news cycle for days and days at a time.

No. If a sportsman really wants to feel the wrath of Australia, it seems, he needs to damage a cricket ball.

Not a woman.

Didn't even have to read the article after the first line to agree with it "If you think ball-tampering is our national sporting shame, you haven’t met Matt Lodge." . Brisbane are disgraceful & so is the NRL that this low life piece of shit is allowed to play.

 

[rainman]

Cause none of them did it on the field,it’s the win at all costs attitude that we have
In this country, it’s only crept in since multi culturism became the norm
I blame the Chinese, Indians and the welsh

[Hansta]

They have a lead of over 600. Still not declaring. Great advert for cricket lol.

 

[DoggiesBoy]

Holy fuck, one of the greatest aussie collapses of all time is underway here. I know there is obviously a lot going on with this team atm, but moving forward we have the weakest batting line up i can remember in my life time. Not good times ahead

 

[rainman]

Back to the dark old days

 

[DoggiesBoy]

Ok sweet that tour is over, we only lost that match by 492 runs . First time since 1970 that SA have beaten us in a series over there (do bare in mind the whole apartheid thing, so no cricket for SA between 1971-1991). Also our heaviest defeat since 1928 and the 4th highest of all time.

 

[Mr 95%]

Sheesh..Aussie Cricket in trouble..

 

[DoggiesBoy]

Both smith and bancroft have announced they will not be fighting the charges, interesting what warner does.
