*Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

[chris.hinton]

That is really serious

 

[Xix2565]

should have disclosed the name.

I don't think they can atm, as far as I can see. It's like what happens with the PL footballers when this pops up.

 

[TheJediBrah]

should have disclosed the name.

Then if he turns out innocent they get sued? I wouldn't risk it

 

[the big bambino]

should have disclosed the name.

Not sure if they can but they did mention Guyanese.

 

[Johan]

Not sure if they can but they came close to exposing him by referencing Guyanese.

aren't there multiple active Guyanese Cricketers who play for the West Indies? Nepo Chanderpaul, Gukadesh Motie, Shemar Joseph, Shemron Hetmyer etc?

 

[the big bambino]

Australia have a crisis of no real emerging bats (Under 30)

Look at the best Sheffield Shield Scorers (top 5)

Jake Weatherald (30)
Hilton Cartwright (33)
Jake Lehmann (32)
Kurtis Patterson (33)
Alex Carey (34)

6th is Campbell Kellaway who is 22

The situation is troubling but we do have some young batsmen like Kelleway, Weibgen, Dixon and Harjas Singh. I don't see much hope in the current players ever improving but hopefully one or two of the younger one will develop into test cricketers.

Narrow field isn't it? One can speculate but who really knows?

yup

Also Peake from Vic is promising for his age. These guys are all so young though. Could be a golden batting group for 5 years or so from now but in the mean time things look rough

 

[Burgey]

I guess that noble task would have fallen to you?

Terrible when people accuse neutral umpires of cheating when everyone knows they’re just incompetent.

 

[Beamer]

Narrow field isn't it? One can speculate but who really knows?

The lawyer appointed by the survivors family mentioned that the cricketer in question was supposed to be arrested at the airport upon arrival from Aus, but instead received a 'heroes welcome' from the Government.

Doesn't take a genius to work out who that is. I feel sick and don't think I'll be watching today's play, tbh.

Innocent until proven guilty, but this truly does not look good.

 

[Starfighter]

Saw this earlier today after seeing the comments in the West Indies discussion thread. There's only one name that's coming up.

****ing hell that's depressing if true.

Feel awful for the poor woman too, of course.

Yeah that makes it obvious.

 

[the big bambino]

I agree with Beamer and Starfighter as to where this is going. It's a terrible situation and that's all that can be said.

 

[Beamer]

****ing hell that's depressing if true.

Feel awful for the poor woman too, of course.

They also allege (not proven, to be clear) previous complaints include the rape of a 15 year old girl, supposedly his cousin. In that case, the complainant stopped cooperating with authorities and dropped the charges.

Again, to be crystal clear, none of this is proven. But in my experience, multiple complainants usually means this is heading in only one direction.

Even if we win this test, all the emotion is gone for me now. He should not be playing.

 

[chris.hinton]

Mind you the greatest team in cricket history was old

At the start of the 2005 ashes

1. Justin Langer 34
2. Matt Hayden 33
3. Ricky Ponting 30
4. Damien Martyn 33
5. Michael Clarke 24
6. Simon Katich 29
7. Adam Gilchrist 33
8. Shane Warne 35
9. Brett Lee 28
10. Jason Gillespie 30
11. Glenn McGrath 35

Ave Age: 32.2

When these all retired, Australia went into a bit of a decline

This is heart breaking. Iam law student and if he proven guilty could mean life term jail sadly( i think almost all of Commonwealth country's have similar criminal laws be it india or Guyana)

If he is proven guilty, there is no "sadly" there.

100% Cricketer or not, If he broke the law then jail him
