Solitary is one of the worst punishments in prison. Hopefully you find things alleviate a lite once the warden lets you use the exercise yard with the other inmates again.

After how many years of living and paying tax in Australia?

Hmmm yeah that definitely wouldn’t help. You guys have a 10 year clean slate law there yet?

Laptop debacle?

Asking the real questions. Last time he got denied was a few months back. Dudes been living there more than half his life. Plays for the national team. Can’t get citizenship. Aussies can you please line up all your politicians and borrow a guillotine from France.

Your behaviour is pathetic. Either:

• you’re a terrible troll who has nothing better to do with their life than try to feel better by trying to wind people up on the internet. Or…

• you’re genuinely this unself aware. Or…

• you’re trying to feel better about yourself by winning sn argument on social media by saying whatever you have to and trying to pretend that somehow that matters.

Delete the internet and find something else to do for a while til you get some perspective.

None of Nicholls, Young or Latham would be in a NZ T20 1st XI. Probably only De Grandhomme and maybe Ajaz out of the team they took for the conditions they were playing in. Finn Allen and Rachin are not there yet. Duffy and McConchie are provincial captains who are alright but are getting on a bit in years. Sears is really young, nowhere near as fast as he can be yet. Exciting prospect but way too young. Kuggeleijn, The Timaru express and D Bracewell are all so far out of contention. They only play when we're seriously down a lot of players to injury, or in warm up games for touring teams.

Players playing overseas, taking a break or out for other reasons like injury:

Conway

Guptill

Seifert

Phillips

Williamson

Southee

Boult

Jamieson

Santner

Neesham

M Chapman

Milne

D Mitchell

T Astle

Sodhi

Ferguson

Shit even Colin Munro, who's currently playing for TKR, would be ahead of Nicholls surely?

Damn, now I wrote that out... That's actually most of our T20 world cup squad. Not one player in the WC squad just played in the Bangladesh series.

Totally, but it’s not how it has to be. If public opinion were to shift so would the things cricket values.

That sentiment has been shared by humans since biblical times. It’s not something the writers made up.

Money can’t be the only reason to do something. If it is we’re dead as a species, forget cricket.

Completely agree. The game needs to be grown to survive. That requires sacrifice from the incumbents.

Yeah it's hilarious eh.

CS was also the relatively unnoticed defensive general for the ABs. Go back and watch old highlights, he's always making sure the line is in order and taking the sting out of mismatches. Very under rated player if anything.

Yeah I’ve been wondering if he’s working on something else while they were filming and needed to keep that cut.

Yup, it's a fade. He specifically mentions it in the first episode. yes it is weird and looks weird.

We still have the security theatre though.

Thanks for the links.

Aaaah, the morbidly boring yet somehow still depressing reality of it all.

At the end of the financial reporting quarter. Not sure when that is. In my country companies can choose when their tax year starts ends. Let’s say their financial year started jan first, the last day of the second quarter would be June 30th. That’s where the data stops. The metrics are then calculated based on the data April 1 - June 30.

It’s a metaphor implying that their ears are ornamental. Someone who doesn’t comprehend or make an effort to take in what they hear/read.

Yeah, firstly - you might want to look that up. Secondly, stats are usually massaged into horseshit these days unless you’re looking at the raw data or an explanation of how it was cut.

Thirdly, I didn’t call anyone dumb. I used a metaphor to imply their reading/listening comprehension was poor. You’ve then gone on to castigate me for something I didn’t do because you didn’t comprehend what you read.

You really couldn’t be proving the point better.

It's a trope because it's true. I've met enough people raised in the US to know it. Teenagers are just the pits to begin with, throw in a total lack of reading/listening comprehension and general critical thinking skills.... I would expect people educated in South Asia, Europe, East Asia, Australia, NZ, some other places as well, to be better educated than folks who went through the public system in the US.

If you don't like it start voting for people who will invest in education over your way.

Third frame should be Seymour kicking down the fence.

Always assume you’re talking to American teenagers. Based on the evidence I’m going to assume they paint the ears on their babies at the hospital.
