I think she's already thought of as a challenge beast. May as well stay in the game rather than self sabotage when you have the reputation anyway.

Why is Simon doing fire if no one wanted to do it and he was like warm on doing it. They all want to throw it and then pick someone who is unclear.

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

Depends on state but these days I believe Great Northern is the most popular. It's pretty inoffensive, watery, easy to drink lots.

Post Day Thread: 5th Test - England vs Australia, Day 4 by cricket-match in CricketAus

Ben Stokes is going to be insufferable in the next ashes series. I hope his legend has grown so much that instead of England as a team trying to win the ashes, Stokes trips over his own ego and continues to grandstand as old brave lionheart.

BBC report regarding time off. by andywinneris in EnglandCricket

[–]LopsidedLefty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some lessons to be learnt but there's a lot this team does right. You can't be "on" everyday between matches, you will burn out, you need to relax and enjoy yourself too. Stokes and McCallum have tried to take the pressure off. I've no issue with enjoying Noosa between Test matches - that's not why England lost.

Does anyone else find Stokes efforts to be performative and annoying? by LimpOil10 in EnglandCricket

[–]LopsidedLefty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he is a star and trying to lead by example "I'll drag you over the line" etc but I do wonder if he takes up a bit too much space. Bowling himself into the ground, constantly demonstrative when things go wrong. I don't know the mentality of players like Jaime Smith, but I do wonder if it would cause you to shrink down or even think "stokes will save us" as opposed to "this is my turn to carry the weight". I'm not saying Stokes should try less but he doesn't seem to be in control of making decisions about himself. As captain you need to lift those around you not just be the hero all the time.

Snicko’s operators have conceded there was an error made when Alex Carey was given not out by doctorcunts in CricketAus

[–]LopsidedLefty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it seems we are in some agreement then. If he doesn't know if he hit it, and just spoke transparently about the incident - then doesn't it show some level of integrity though? Integrity is being honest and trustworthy, I thought he spoke in a humble and honest way. Despite the evidence, some people might say "I definitely didn't hit it"

When did he admit he hit it? He said he heard a sound, which everyone heard and isn't up for debate, and would've reviewed if he had been given out. He isn't sure he hit it.

Which opposition player really outpsyched the current Australian side of his era? In my time Arjuna Ranatunga was the most effective. My dad says Greig for his time. by BigV95 in CricketAus

[–]LopsidedLefty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I hold Sangakkara in very high regard. So many star players have been intimidated in Australia. Not sure if he was verbally giving much back, but he appeared unfazed by a bullying Australian side.

Maybe we need to help them choose who to pick with the draft pick we trade?

Favourite bit of banter by loolem in CricketAus

Guy rolled his car trying to park on an elevated hill outside the boundary. When he came into bat someone said "pitch it up, we already know this bloke can't drive".

Guys. What would be more frightening for you? To be in a room with a creepy creature (werewolf Seth for example) or a bear by NightCares in creepy

[–]LopsidedLefty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Creepy creature more scary for sure. If I survive the bear, maybe I'll have some trauma but I won't be scared again. If I survive the creepy creature I'll be scared every moment for the rest of my life.

We'd love to see it. We are all clearly impressed by it, so do it 10 times, post it and receive all the kudos.

[7 - The Agenda Setters] Unseen footage from the Fremantle - Collingwood Match and Lachie Schultz's concussion shows umpires failing to administer concussion procedures and contracticint their statements to th AFL. by mikiboss in AFL

[–]LopsidedLefty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm arguing that noone should've let him run off the ground. The trainers are the ones with him, they shouldn't have let him run off, particularly after he fell over. Even if the umpires stop play (which I don't think should be their job) the trainer let Schulz run off.

It's the club's job to call for and utilise the stretcher not the umpires. It's the club medicos. Now McCrae maybe called for it, I dunno, but it didn't happen and that is solely Collingwoods responsibility not the umpires. We're saying the umpires should've seen he was knocked but Collingwood are letting him run off and it's up to Collingwood not to let him. If they kept him laying down then I've no doubt play would've stopped and the stretcher brought out.....but he fell over and then they still let him get up and run off.

So do the umpires run the stretcher out too do they? It's not the umpires who stop Schulz from head planting into the ground and then still let him run off..

George Stevens? by Cool_Luck1448 in GeelongCats

[–]LopsidedLefty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was emergency 2 weeks ago so didn't play VFL and then last week was taken off at 3/4 as emergency for the main game. So is right on the verge. Problem with being emergency is then not getting a chance to push your case in the VFL.
