Fuctifano Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Watched the first 4 episodes, will finish it tomorrow or Tuesday. Paine and Finch come across as decent guys but I thought that anyway. Lyon seems to be someone who actually is pretty sound IRL but once he crosses the white line onto the pitch just acts like a dick. None of the other players have had enough of a role to make me form an opinion on them. WIll be interesting to see how Smith and Warner come across if / when they're interviewed after they get back into the team. Langer is obviously the main "character" in the series and he is a bit of a weirdo, obviously different people have different management styles but I do not think I'd work well under him, would genuinely rather have a hairdryer treatment arsehole coach winding me up to get me to give a "f**k you" type of performance than his sort of passive-aggressive shtick and cliches.

Eednud Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Final round of Sheffield Shield games were to be played behind closed doors then officially cancelled a few later. Today the Shield Final has been cancelled with this year’s title awarded to NSW. They would still have finished top even if the last round had been played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Smith and surprisingly Warner also come across as alright although there isn't any great looking back at what they'd done to get banned and clearly all these things are edited. Never knew that Shaun Marsh injury in the world cup happened in the nets when he went in to replace Maxwell in the nets after Cummins had injured him. Felt a bit bad for him as that was a career ender given his age. Most unintentionally funny bit was Langer kicking the bin over after Lyon botched the run out near the end of Stokes vs Australia at Headingley... then the camera lingering on him for 30 second as he picks up about handful after handful of rubbish and stuffs it all back in. Not sure the narrative of "the Australian cricket team are All Good Blokes now" it was clearly trying to come across with is accurate, really. India and England are probably equally not nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usman Khawaja comes across as pretty high maintenance. Can see why he keeps getting dropped. ETA stumbled across a documentary called Death of a Gentleman, which was made by that obnoxious scorer from Talksport, Jarred Kimber. It’s a very pleasant little time waster. And features the dulcet tones of Tony Cozier, which always an absolute treat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was terrific. Paine comes across as decent bloke. Smith seems like one of those “what do they know of cricket that only cricket know” people. A couple of hours in the pub with him might be fascinating, but much more would be hard to stomach. Couldn’t get a read on Langer at all. He seems to live on the border, as it were, of insight and cliche. Some of the other players offered banalities. I did notice towards the end they had far less access to the team. They hardly touched on Warner, who very obviously crumbled under the pressure which Smith rose above. Considering how heavily they focused on Finch when he was struggling, I thought that was a miss. There was a story to be had on those two, and Bancroft - who didn’t feature at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time that was a once in a decade occurrence It's baffling now to think that there was so much resistance to the review system at the start. Aussies would have won the test and the series had they been able to review what was a shocking decision. Fairly obvious now that it's been fantastic for the game and something that Scottish fitba could learn from. Change isn't always a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't go back now though would they? Kohli loves a good review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
