He is a genuine criminal and should be in prison. But he gets his own show in the UK and Sky viewers here. Go figure.

Generally, Australia wins big in Australia and England wins small in England. Australia are a long way ahead for the past generation or more.

Cheers. What you don’t know about cricket could fill a book. A very big book.

Gee Don. I don’t know. Maybe look in the mirror and you’ll catch on.

(Hey that last line was quite poetic of you.) Yeah, Don, I’m going to trawl through 26,000 comments – gees, Tolkien didn’t knock out that many; I’ve got hopes and dreams. Your personal comments are everywhere in relation to Cummins. And let’s be honest, if I did post the exact comment after hours of searching, the chance of Don saying, “I was wrong,” are as likely as Kim Hughes opening in the next test.

I now annoint thee, “Don the Deflector”. Seriously, if your hand was caught in the cookie jar, you’d say ‘what cookies?’ I wonder if you’ve ever muttered the phrase ‘Gee … maybe I got that one wrong’ in your life.

Eh … I never mentioned Cummins in this post, Don: you assumed it – perhaps a guilty conscience? You have completely played yourself.

Completely agree. ‘Build a bridge’ is similar to ‘sticks and stones’ or ‘taking it on the chin’. Call it out.

It does do something – eventually they are being exposed if everyone does it. Your situation is likely to not be the same as Willie Rioli’s. It means the victim has to deal with it on their own which creates further mental health issues. Sweeping it under the carpet means the trolls will persist further. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

“Rather than praise their own boys, their emphasis is to mock the team in front.” Hilarious from you, Don. Oh, the irony.

“Sticks and stones” is a philosophy from the 50s that did not work. As Lano and Woodley said: “Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will just cause permanent psychological damage.” The trolls should be exposed to further diminish the problem for future victims.

You personally described him as pathetic.

The personal focus on Cummins is grossly unfair.

Hope that clears it up, Don. You’re welcome.

Read the post again, Don. It’s crystal clear.

You still don’t get it. The word ‘personal ‘ is what you specifically are guilty of much of the time.

Calling Pat Cummins pathetic is analysis? You do win the internet… and not in a good way.

Fair enough to you too. I’m barracking for Australia but I like England. I think the stumping was fine but I’ll never resort to cheap name calling of players. If I listed the 10 most annoying boorish Australian and English cricketers of the past two generations, They’d only be one Englishman in there – and he was born in South Africa! (Yes, KP) That says something. Aside from Warner, I really like our current team – and even Warner has improved since his return. (Is it wrong to pray for rain???)
