Alex 35616 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Well Steve Smith got paid a lot less than the guaranteed $1m you claimed is the minimum players get. And he’s been the best test batsman of the last 10 years or so. There’s nearly 200 players in the tournament and only 33 got paid more than $1m in 2021. Of the rest loads aren’t Indian including several Australians. But aye, he’s weird for calling out your bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken 119 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Is Steve Smith a quality t20 player? I will let you dwell on that. And I will let you dwell on the 2nd test which starts on Thursday. I hope Anderson plays to make a game of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35616 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Moving the goalposts doesn’t make your previous statement any less accurate. Buttler didn’t even get the amount you claimed was the minimum a player can expect though if you’re now trying to say it only applies to ‘quality’ T20 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46097 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Yep, a tale of two tosses, and it's over. Although I'm sure the Aussies would have found a way to win if they'd fallen the other way too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22187 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 This must be the worst English test side since the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We seem to have given up trying to build a test side these days. Nothing about English cricket is about preparing for test series or preparing players to come through and succeed in the longest format. When Anderson and Broad hang it up we will only have two or three real test quality players left in the the team and one of them is usually a massive fitness doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9993 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Unrelentingly shite again !! Stat on Twitter, whilst the batting has been abysmal we’ve dropped 48% of our catches, Aussies zero drops (edit, make that one).
