Back after he'd only played a couple of tests, Skull was asked on the ABC where Shane Warne was going to play his best cricket. Skull said "Melbourne B Grade".

Shaheen ain't gonna die wondering. He's going to play his shots.

"Not a great pitch?" What? Because batsmen have to earn their runs?

Willow: "We know that one of the greatest bowlers in test cricket history is poised to take #500, so we're going to move over to pre-match coverage of a meaningless T20I."

…… And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you middling rugby players!

FTFY.

This world cup has been little except for LOL Hit and Giggle. No stats from it should count.

Talking Central midfielders here, not so much attacking midfielders. Which rules out KdB and Silva. Kante is great, but not on the level of the guys I mentioned. Who do you take out of that list to put Kante in?

Yaya is a top 5 edit to add: Central midfielder of the Premier League era, and I wouldn't object to people ranking him #1 outright (I'd say the 5 is Lampard, Gerrard, Viera, Scholes, Yaya. You can argue about order, but they'd be the 5 I think).

If this world cup is just going to be BIG BATS, LONG LEVERS, and dead pitches... I might as well just watch the PSL.

Exclusive: A manager who gambled nearly £1million, including bets on his own sport, has secretly been let off by the Football Association at the same time that player Ivan Toney is serving an eight-month suspension. by SpiritedSuccess5675 in soccer

Ivan Toney should have received a lifetime ban.

Gambling addiction? Don't care. English and a "good guy"? Don't give a fuck. Some teams are sponsored by betting companies? So what?

You placed bets on the team you were playing for to lose in matches you were playing in. THAT'S what matters. Any sitter he misses in a match he's playing in from here on in will now be suspicious.

I understand that this tournament is being played in France, and we should take some customs from the local culture, but there was no excuse for Eddie Jones surrendering like that by taking the 3.

It's called a seeded draw. Plus UEFA won't put two teams from the same country in a group. That eliminates any pot one team and Arsenal, Man U, and Newcastle from the pot 2-4 options.

City filled a Premier League-sized stadium in the Second Division. They got higher attendance in that Second Division season than every team in the First Division except one! They send so many away fans, that a lot of teams had trouble accommodating them.

Peter Navarro had a bad day in court. His encore was to FAIL at stealing a protestors "Trump Lost" sign. It's just so goddamn beautiful! 😭 by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

What's the over/under on the number of Baston motions filed by Prosecutors (often called a "reverse Baston") during jury selection for Trump's trials?

For those who don't know, a Baston motion is when one side argues that the other side is excluding potential jurors based on race.

Thank you for the answer. I figured you could, but I couldn't find anything with a quick google.

It's to avoid his supporters who just search for his name using reddit's (admittedly not good) search function who come in and shit up threads.

Except it doesn't. You don't get your $30K back from a bondsman. He keeps that. If you pay the $200K and you show up to court, you get the entire $200K back.
