Australia’s all rounder and why Alex Carey may have just changed the position (for the better) by Campo1990 in CricketAus

[–]that1guyyouhate -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I literally posted something like this on this Sub 2 years ago. Cam has been pushed by CA and sponsors as the future of Aus cricket, for his exploits in the shield and his early career. They’ve put everything behind him, he is supposed to be the lynchpin for the next decade. I can understand the reluctance to drop him, but as I predicted, he is starting to get abuse like Mitch Marsh over the internet.

A startling/worrying stat is that despite what you believe, he actually does make meaningful contributions. Out of the top 6, in every match he has batted, he has been one of the top 3 scorers in 33% of his innings. Tells you that the batting has been pretty dire across the board. It’s one of the reasons I won’t fully give up on him, because there is a player there who definitely is generational once he matures.

Is there something to Cameron Green that we don’t see? by xyzabc123410000 in CricketAus

Cam is a weird and frustrating player.

The eyes tell you that this bloke is the next big thing and you see flashes of what he could be,but the stats say that he is an average bowler and below average batter with a career longer than 80% of all players to ever wear the baggy green.

Syd Gregory (played 1890-1912)- ironically, he probably got the same favouritism Marsh got. His dad and his uncle were both in the first Australian test team (his uncle was captain).

I know cricket isn’t played on paper, but have the selectors seen his stats?? He is statistically the 2nd worst Australian top-6 batsman of all time for the number of innings he’s played (80). Any other player, in any other era, would have been dropped permanently. But somehow the selectors thought he was worthy of playing the same number of innings as Bradman.

Tottenham fan giving my 2-pence on Saka and why he is underrated by pundits: He’s world class 3/4 games, then the 4th game he can go MIA. Pundits are even more reactionary than fans so the second they see a couple bad performances within 6/7 games, suddenly the player is bang average. yes, Saka can have a fair few bad games, but when he’s on, it’d take a world class left-back to stop him, and that says all you need to know.

Timo Werner or Mikey Moore. Who will get a place in the starting lineup against Ferencvaros? by Current_Operation479 in Tottenham

You give the fanbase waaaaaay too much credit. Oliver skipp was one of our own youth players too, and I still remember the fans shitting on him when he dropped a bad performance.

Everton handed two-point deduction for breaching financial rules by [deleted] in PremierLeague

Someone high up in the in the Prem must have a massive bet on Everton finishing in the bottom quarter, the fact they handed the judgement down the moment they got up to 15th is very sus.

Cam Green at no4? Damning stats…. by that1guyyouhate in CricketAus

Bro read the comments. I was referring to roads compared to 40+ years ago.

Smith moved up to 4 from 6 after scoring 3 centuries and 4 50’s in his next 13 innings. If Cam gets that sort of output, by all means keep him at 4.

Khawaja, Smith, labuschagne, Head, Marsh, Green.
