At the time I heard he was a potential signing so watched him closely. I recall him being worse but I was on the cans so memory could have been hazy. I hope he is much better than I remember. 

It's the fact that he was given a small opportunity at fullback due to Latrell injury  - and he took it and excelled in it and it resulted in origin honours. All in the 1 year. 

Abit like Tommy Turbo. He did his time on the wing and once given a chance at fullback, he took it and made it his own. He can now play centre or wherever he is moved to. 

Last year wasn’t his first year of first grade...

Very good footy player... A FB by trade... Great buy at what would no doubt be a reasonable price...

Headline - ‘Huge gamble backfires’...
Article - A fit Warner selected and out cheaply...

Comment - Fvck you mainstream media hack grub germoulists and edshitors...

Far out....here I was thinking the 10k worth of shares I bought that nosedived last week were a huge gamble....

I feel better now that Warner is out.....

That is known in the trade as "an effective self mock".

Get a better dart board.

Germologists are suggesting Burns was a safer bet?

If they knew anything about anything then maybe they could get an honest job.

How the mighty had fallen 

• of ice and supplying ice

An NRL star who once made a seven-figure salary before going onto Centrelink is making a bid for freedom as he faces up to 25 years in jail if found guilty over drug charges.  Brett Dallas, 46, was due to make a bail application at Queensland's Mackay Magistrates Court on Friday. 

Surprised the Scumgraph didn’t have him pictured in his Bulldogs gear....

Bulldogs great Brett Dallas...

Fast bowlers!!!...

Can we bat until drinks in session 3 tomorrow???...

Why?
What's wrong with winning in last session tomorrow?

Nothing, just like winning around tea on day 5.... 
But according to your expert knowledge we couldn’t possibly win batting first anyway...

Yep if Smithy and Labs can bat 270 mins, the other nuffies can last 29 mins.

Good standard of test cricket.

If I was an Indian batsman, I'll try to catch covid, less risky than facing our quicks 😁

If we can lead by 300-350, we know Indians will not get that. Unless Marki says they have no chance.

It’s as much about proving we can bat that long for mine... no worries if we declare 350 odd in front before tea, but I’d like us to be 4 or 5 for when it happens...

4 sessions should be enough to get them out, I would declare at tea.

You dont have these dilemmas when you put them in after winning the toss!

In that case it is only a technical win.

So India to win tomorrow???...

2 wickets down needing 300 in the sessions with the ball reversing and 2 batsmen carrying injuries.
If India did win, it will be one of the all time great victories, especially if the mock tips them.

On the other hand the wicket seems to be dying, hanging on for a heroic draw isn't impossible, but again is far from easy. Start playing for the draw too early and you will soon be surrounded by chirping fielders.

Ahhh but maybe they don’t want to win... 

Wait...I thought you said can we drink until session 3 tomorrow. Well it's too late now! Is it session 3 tomorrow yet?

I  assume all sessions are not session 3 for Dman, at least when it comes to drinking decisions.

It is the same when you attend a match.

Coffee before the game is certain, beer before lunch 50/50, beer after/during lunch and tea are a certainly.

My experience is some seem to start drinking from ball 1, at least they are well drunk soon after lunch.

No.... but lucky they got us out for 330 in first innings..... otherwise we may have batted longer and India may have only been put into bat with 4 sessions left.

It's a dangerous game you play when you give yourself only 4 sessions to bowl a team out. 

Its reinforced by Winviz which had the Aussies at 90% to win at stumps yesterday while it has us at 88% at stumps today. 

Why? Because it expected us to declare earlier and allow the bowlers more overs to get India out. Statistically we will still likely win, but theres always as chance you can encounter a stubborn few partnerships that can drag the game to a draw. 

You would easily be the losingest captain in cricket history.... Including  the most 4 innings losses and losses/draws after enforcing a follow on...

They'd have to be very keen to drink beer out of plastic cups..

That's not what Winviz says!

Winviz has us at 77% now.....

You worried Dman?
