    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Imagine not enforcing the follow on with a lead of 500 plus, and the game peters out to a tame draw.

    It's an international tournament though. Would be one for the ages if Aus doesn't make the final in it, let alone qualify.

    I reckon smith will play on tbh. He’ll average 140 for the series so he’ll be feeling good about himself

    WI attack is better than India’s, which is godlike for 1/4 of the overs it bowls and dogshit for many of the rest.

    Yeah, and fwiw Haze on anything offering sideways or up and down bounce is a nightmare really. he also tends to the the one omitted on flat decks in Asia. Not his fault obviously, but worth considering when comparing his numbers cf Cummins and Starc across this period

    It might be harder because of the bowlers and pitches, or it might be harder because the openers and threes aren’t much chop. Most likely a bit of both

    My understanding is they continue to be paid while they’re stood down. There’s no easy way to deal with an issue like this, but I think the sport takes the view the it’s the lesser of two evils compared with the damage to the game done by having someone playing with that sort of allegation...

    I also feel like Campbell deserves some credit for trying to save test cricket today too.

    Are you talking about rugby or rugby league? The NRL now has mandatory stand downs in situations of serious criminal allegations against players. One bloke sat out two years while awaiting trial and eventual acquittal.

    Is there any suggestion since all this was posted yesterday of any action being taken by WICB? I was very interested in the tone the commentators took surrounding his walking off the ground towards the end there. Almost like a valedictory.

    You know just picking and hitting through the first line doesn’t work on pitches like that, right? You can pick the line and hit through it on roads, you can’t on decks like that. The only current side I think which would make a decent fist of batting consistently well on that pitch is probably...
