All Blacks through the ages: Who did it better?
Why does it matter what people think of JL, Cummins and the Australian Cricket team?
There is a real divide in supporters and critics of Australian Cricket that will be to its detriment.
The crux of the problem is I believe, the average, hard working fan is concerned at the elitism, wokeism, whatever you want to call it pervading Australian Cricket. We now have the players trying too hard to be liked and connect with the fans and the captain easing tension between JL supporters and players. How did it come to that? If you are a PC fan are you not a little concerned at what may happen to this great game? Time for a serious review I suggest.

They usually fit though Tim. But I get what you are saying.

I believe the 95 team would be too strong in the forwards and has much more attacking ability in the backs, Osborne, Lomu and Wilson would have been too classy.

Who is the best white ball cricketer in the world HR? I would say Suryakumar Yadav at present.

You are another one stuck in a bubble with no knowledge of the real world just what you see on TV, there is more to life than The Project, ABC etc. No wonder you guys are so angry and hateful. The sad fact is because you deny the truth you will never be truly happy.

The Roar would be better off without them.

You’re as bad as your HR mate.
Why all the hate? Just can’t help yourselves can you.
Come over to the rugby commenting where there are some decent people, you might learn something Chumley.

When you guys come into the real world and break out of your bubble maybe you won’t be so hateful. You really are a divisive bunch. The world would be a better place without lefties!

They can’t help themselves, they are cut from a different cloth. No wonder they are so hateful.

I could not see current team playing as well in such conditions.

There is a chap called Jonah who may have been devastating in such a match!

If he plays a blinder to win the RWC then maybe.

The article stems from Zinzans comment. But yes 2015 would be interesting.

HR It’s not really any of your business where I live. Maybe this is a lesson for you to accept members articles/posts no matter where they are from. Your attitude is the reason why I have never confirmed or denied anything, “You seriously don’t belong”. Aren’t you meant to be the tolerant/inclusive party? Maybe I’m a Kiwi living in Australia who isn’t a big fan of the Australian cricket team, but who also believes Oz is a fairly good place?

Chum The plot thickens doesn’t it. 1971 was a long time ago Chum.

Chum To assume it is a “noisy minority” and “anyone who genuinely has stopped watching cricket because of that is no loss whatsoever to the game” could very well be a mistake by CA that leads to decreasing fan support, to their detriment.

It is strange that the only people who do not understand “go woke, go broke” or “wokeism” are the ones inflicting it, the left.
