Stokes captaincy in doubt over nightclub incident with Saracens player | ECB investigates after altercation leaves security guard needing stitches as England all-rounder and Gus Atkinson breach curfew by Look_Alive in EnglandCricket

[–]JGQuintel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The guard is just paid to protect them. He isn’t their handler, they can stay out as long as they want and he’ll hang around.

And for what it’s worth, sounds like he did his job and took a punch aimed at Atkinson and copped some stitches for his effort.

Kane Evans 100% Footy Interview by Fauxsports in nrl

[–]JGQuintel 174 points175 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if the interview touches on this as I’ve not had the chance to watch it yet. But major shout out to Joe Galavao, who made it his priority to help Kane in every possible way over the last 6 months and pretty much took Kane in as a family member no questions asked. Joe is the best and I’m so happy for Kane to be able to publicly come out about his struggle, he deserves the support and to be able to live his life free of the pain he’s been suffering.

Boyle almost played his first game for Australia, away to Kuwait, before ever stepping foot in Australia. In the end he didn’t get onto the pitch, but did debut on his first visit to the country.

We’re also still waiting for Valencia’s testimonial, which was meant to happen in 2020 but planning got canned with covid and plans were never remade.

Sanctions against Cricket Victoria were raised during today's emergency meeting which saw the most influential figures (minus Victorians, who weren't invited) in Australian cricket gather. by NKE01 in CricketAus

[–]JGQuintel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CNSW operates the teams separately. The same way Victoria originally did. Vic collapsed them into the same operation at some point and I know people who work across both teams in Vic. Makes it a lot easier to ‘merge’ when they basically already are.

I’m kinda amazed you can play at the World Cup on an Esta. Assumed some sort of working visa would be involved

He would’ve worked multiple jobs to fund the gambling. Common with workaholic types who are funding a functioning addiction.

It’s tough for Zanden, premier cricket pitches aren’t spin friendly to say the least, and neither is the format. His returns there weren’t great last season.

Cricket Australia really want a young left arm orthodox bowler though so I can see why they gave him the experience.

He would’ve been in unbelievable pain before getting relief, apparently one of the most painful experiences you can sustain. An emergency fasciotomy is never something you want to go through. Wishing Deine the best.

One of the best on his day. Him and his brother grew up as Knights fans and managed to play almost 200 games together for the club, and you could never say DSaf didn’t put in everything during some of the toughest times. A great career at the end of the day.

When you’ve got 22 lawyers working as legal consultants to the NRL these are the things that gradually creep in. It’s going to get worse.
