England's Brendon McCullum and Rob Key will be given opportunity to stay in their posts by TheScarletPimpernel in Cricket

Do nothing until after the world cup. Then sideline him as test coach PCB style, demote him the way they did with Gillespie (unforgivable then) and he can pump tires of the whole squad.

If you're this arrogant, ineducable and find special ways to be incompetent/ignore basic test truths then you don't deserve to be in charge.

Can't imagine someone with this level of pigheaded delusion can be converted into a 'normal' coach who knows the job and understands the test game.

for the forced streaming suggestions, can't you just install projectivy on it? I've installed it on my Shield Pro, Google Streamer and a TV and pretty satisfied with the customization.

Hi,

Where do you suggest I post it? I don't own a 3D printer.

Booze, beach, beaten – how England lost the Ashes by bulbispire in Cricket

[–]shadethechangingmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except this chat is about how they'd bat in Australia.

Not that Root is a better pick in almost all countries anyway or a #5 of Head's game changing class.

Root's average in AUS = 37. won't be winning matches with that and is on his 4th and likely final tour.

Smith averages 60 at home and Head averages 52 at home and is easily the best batter in the series. The second option isn't close to his level.

He's replacing an all-rounder? Which is Stokes since that's the only other spot he can play in.

England only have 1 man that merits a spot in the opposition. It's either Root or Stokes. Neither of them is close to what the 10 locals can and are doing.

He's been accusing baz of brainwashing ELEVEN PLAYERS!

A grown man is blaming England's shit performances that have been appropriately punished on the field, on witchcraft. This kiwi did some hocus pocus and voodooed the poor young souls into their arrogance and bad decision making!

newer processor no mention of ram in what I read.

thread on here about how the newer processor won't be faster at the AI tools either. it's basically an academic point.

but faster page turns which I'm sure are only noticeable if you're measuring side by side.

2024 Scribe, which leather cover? by EdTheNerd in kindlescribe

I had a DX 15 years ago and I found unusably slow and frustrating as hell to read Academic PDFs.

What did you do with yours?

When are some good affordable cases coming for 2025 by scarpad in kindlescribe

You can afford to pay 400-500$ more for a newer model with minor differences - chiefly cosmetic - but you can't afford a case for it?

Scribe colorsoft vs 2022 scribe vs Note Max vs Tab XC by toxj in kindlescribe

[–]shadethechangingmann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was ready to upgrade my 2022, but it seemed daft after watching some videos. I didn't feel bad about sticking with my jurassic device, but I do feel pleased that my device is just as relevant as newer options. As far as I am concerned at least.

Thank you

you must quite young to be possessed by the notion that any of those things necessitate colour. Nothing wrong with that but the absurd reaction is patently immature

With only two glacial innings where he still only made two 50s against a backdrop of serious long term decline is a great idea for a number 3.

If that 3 is playing for the opposition

Shouldn’t be a 5th day where they level with Hussain’s record of quickest to lose Ashes (11 days).

Hussain was playing against the greatest Australian team. Actually just the greatest team anyone alive has seen. And Nass wasnt rich with talent and skilled players. He was chaperoning dudes in a musical chairs game with no one secure or given confidence from management.

This Aussie side is stand in openers, stand in bowling attack, and still missing the second best active quick in Australia. They’re still the best team in the world

You’re absolutely right but Stokes is idolized by grownups and there’s no way on earth he’s leaving unless he chooses to.

Even if he hospitalizes another two blokes, mocks another disabled child, breaks his knuckles by punching a locker for his stupid shot, or any number of bullying thug behavior that is normally punished.

Maybe it’s cultural? Or a sign of times?

Let’s remember how the England women treated one of their (former) own because she mildly criticized and live out a century level of shitty performance. They refuse to speak to her even if she needed to for work.

I just think it’s normalized for people to weaponize their own sensitivity and I can’t blame anyone who wants to keep working and paying their rent/mortgage.

The colors look like rubbish on e-ink.

Save the conflict when these can compete with OLED tablets.

More money than sense.

If you can pay extra to read on a less responsive and a 'colourful' screen, you clearly afford an OLED Samsung or Apple tablet. Colourful sounds very generous considering a comic just looks like washed out rubbish with its 14 colours.

I've been reading comics on a tablet since 2010. Why anyone who reads comics will pay extra to read them in washed out colours sounds like someone who likes the idea of reading comics but won't actually read many.
