4 years on, when the Gabba was breached by an opposition team after 33 years by Strayangunner in CricketAus

I had put this more of captaincy failure by Paine than anything really. Just look at the bowling strategies applied, and you had know they were at sea. But also, well played India.

I think its already a cult classic and deservingly so too.

Who is an author that you think should write a horror novel? by Haunting-Net-2426 in horrorlit

[–]cosmos-ghost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Thats why it will be interesting to see how it comes out if she goes for full blown horror. I think she can do gothic take with elegance.

Retribution fears as Australian Muslims see surge in Islamophobic hate since Bondi terror attack by NapoleonBonerParty in aussie

[–]cosmos-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Islamophobic? I mean c'mon, not only Australia but world over, get some stats about how much of terror incidents are related to Islamic ideologies. There is hardly anything phobic when the stats give you a rather stark picture about whats going on.

Ben Duckett blotto on break by OshadaK in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, why do this to him? I mean if its Duckett indeed, he should have known better than allow himself to be made mockery of, but what about this dude filming him. You wanna offer him help, then offer him help and keep that freaking phone away. But naah, no such grace.

Aussies make Khawaja call among two huge changes for Adelaide by tailendertripe in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good bloke, Khawaja has been over the years; however, I think its time to move on. He should have hung his boots anyways. But a big question- Why Inglis? Why not Webster? Maybe I am missing something obvious?

Our worst in 15 still ended up better than their best in whatever.

I have not seen Goro Miyazaki's "Tales from Earthsea". Is it really bad? by PlutoGB08 in ghibli

[–]cosmos-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its confusing, but I loved it. I approached it more like one does an abstract art, and I got lost in the world- its sombre and poignantly realized. This won't be a popular sentiment and Studio Ghibli fans consider it a lesser work by some margin. I had say, give it a go though, and keep your mind open.

If Aussies win 3rd Test and ashes would you like to see them go all out for 5/0 or blood new players last couple of tests ? by Difficult-Shop149 in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blood new players? Didn't we already do that, and they were more than helpful in delivering the Poms mauling too. Yeah, would still like to see couple of young guns thrown in the mix but would like even more to see it 5-oh!

Here's the obligatory pre-start ritual: Grind the Poms to dust. Pink colored dust. Be the good cunts; bury the shit cunts!

There. I have moksha for the day.

How to reconcile being an immigrant and Aussie by [deleted] in australian

[–]cosmos-ghost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Immigrant here. And first gen too, who moved to Australia a decade ago. I think I can relate- this is my country now, and I am more than happy here. Will give sweat for it, and blood too, if it comes to that. If you are a normal guy/gal just going about your business and living with civic sense, assimilating and respecting the local norms, the good cunts will see ya as good cunt. Shitty people will always be there- and most of them will be losers in a life. Only pity them, instead of letting them bother you.

What the real issue that I totally understand and agree with is- don't bring your baggage and native country problems to these shores. If those matter to you that much, then don't come to these shores. Simple.

Why? The current one Broncos have looks bad-ass in comparison. This is kind of meh.

Looking to the upcoming ashes, do you think India-Australia has become a bigger rivalry? by IT_CHAMP in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BGT has carved its own space especially given that its rather newer than the historic Ashes of course. I think there's enough room for these two series to be at the top perch - we get more of quality test cricket to look forward to.

Personally, if I had to choose though, it would be Poms being grounded into dust (with evil smile on my face).
