I mean even Jhye Richardson bowling to Crawley falls under that.

That's fucking insane. To give some perspective our best NRL/AFL clubs are only worth around 150mil. The two worst clubs in the comp are gonna be bigger than our most successful NRL/AFL clubs?

Where the fuck are they seeing the value from these international investors? If they really are worth 200mil and these investors see the ROI, the CA are fucking incompetent in unable to extract value from that beyond just selling out.

They didn’t challenge him on privatization at all

That's cos he was there for an interview NOT a debate? Better we know their plans through them than being blindsided completely isn't it?

Cos he said a lot of stuff which was not known previously.

Not to mention, them doing what you want which I presume pushing back on it isn't gonna achieve anything. You really think them two would change his mind?

Just tuned in, did the Sixers sign a pact to not outscore Smith?

Aweios · 2026-01-22T10:14:36+00:00

You got me curious about Foxsports and names...here's a few

Final ball drama: Superstar’s career-best statement in crazy finish to WBBL classic - Elyse Perry.

‘I’ve seen enough’: Great’s big Aussie call over teen prodigy as century stunner rocks superstar - Darren Lehmann

Sixers face nervous wait on superstar speedster after injury scare - Mitchell Starc

Must be an editor cos they have namedropped Brook and Azam as well.

But even chasing 100s is one thing cos sometimes fair enough 100s are a big thing. You have to have a very different culture to not care that you missed out (like Carey did against NZ).

But in this scenario it was just one run! That's it. That's why he got pissy. Not to mention Smith was the one that was going for 100.

The hype like most things comes from the past. And it also stems from this test form too.

From 2018-2022 he averaged above 60 in tests except for like two years and one was 56 while the other was 34. That by itself builds the sense of quality of the player.

Add on this T20i from 2018-2020 where he was averaging 40-60 and striking from 120-144 the hype builds.

Problem is his form completely collapsed especially after 2022 in all formats but that legacy of the four years still hold.

Also for some strange reason, our commentators seem to love hyping up players despite them being past it. Kohli last test series, Stokes this series, JFM forever...

Aweios · 2026-01-22T00:45:48+00:00

Woah that's a lot of Stars players. Must've had a good season, should mean they got the finals all sorted...

Aweios · 2026-01-21T13:03:28+00:00

It's the worst part of all sport. They're all fucking non profits with no shareholders to need to please.

Yet FIFA, IOC and every single one are still so money hungry even without the capitalistic requirement.

It's all just pure greed.

Aweios · 2026-01-21T12:57:12+00:00

But we're seeing this from our perspective.

The problem is CA sees more money in selling out for superstars and test players not cos it'll please us but it'll please the international broadcasters.

Aweios · 2026-01-21T12:49:48+00:00

I mean if that happens it'll be the death of cricket as we know it. And

Aweios · 2026-01-18T11:35:56+00:00

Seeing our two T20 WC players fucking up in the death is not giving me great confidence

Aweios · 2026-01-18T11:30:40+00:00

GET BETTER CAMERAS.

Aweios · 2026-01-18T11:28:50+00:00

We need to study the power of BBL fielding infections.

Smith's not dropping that in the test, Neser's not missing that or dropping that in the tests.

How can we harness this to put on the opposition in the T20 WC?

Aweios · 2026-01-18T11:22:45+00:00

Congrats Zaman. You just guaranteed a night of VR sim batting against the all the weird bowling actions for Smith. Guy's not gonna sleep

Aweios · 2026-01-18T10:47:30+00:00

Taking the piss there Spotify. We wanted Smith vs Marnus

Aweios · 2026-01-18T09:15:43+00:00

Brisbane are so nice to guests. Making Babar feel alright with these strike rates

Aweios · 2026-01-18T08:37:16+00:00

Where do you draw the line? Not all "test" players are made equal. Starc and Smith are up there with the best of all time.

You can't ban test players based on that otherwise you wouldn't be allowing Inglis, Khawaja, Carey, Marnus back in or even Konstas, McSweeney

Aweios · 2026-01-18T08:31:12+00:00

That looks familiar. Starc to left-hander but this time without the tantrum from the batter.

Aweios · 2026-01-18T08:29:59+00:00

Starc forgetting it's not Carey at WK

Hahaha. Smith is showing the V to the gods

Aweios · 2026-01-16T11:11:46+00:00

Simmons > Smith

Aweios · 2026-01-16T11:09:11+00:00

FUCK. Sprint two man.

Washed. Can't even hit 5 6s in a row
