Nah, that's not acceptable if so. Like I said earlier, this isn't a joke. Second impact syndrome is not something to be ****ed around with.

We still have very little idea about how and why second impact syndrome occurs and how to fully prevent it, but we do know that is a quite literal coin flip whether you live or die.

I didn't say it was acceptable, just that I can understand why the umpires let them get away with it. You are right, it should not happen. But these are still early days around dealing with concussion protocols in International Cricket. Thankfully no major incident happened here and I expect ICC and all the teams and boards to learn more from such incidents and do better going forward.

I mean... multiple players have been killed whilst playing cricket from head impact in recent memory. What more is it going to take?

I'm already very worried about the long term health of Smith. Not in terms of his playing career, but beyond that. Him randomly vertigo the other day before the game is a not a good sign at all. Will Pucovski too is someone whose health is probably much more at risk than people are willing to talk about.

This isn't funny or a joke to me. We are playing with fire until we actually become much more honest about the risk elite sportsmen are taking to their long term health by not dealing with this seriously. Allowing Jadeja to bat on because, oh well, it's almost the end of the innings, is as clear as a sign as any that we are not serious, and that the discussion after that is about whether the substitution gave India an advantage or not.

Keep baiting like this and you'll get an infraction, simple as that.

I dunno about you but I think the post which went "**** off asshole" is probably worth a warning

This level of annoyance isn't good for your health. Take a breather champ.

Is this real? Did someone hack into a mod account or something?

[Test fan]

Lol Australians complain about cheating. Australia should be last team to complain about cheating as their cheating history

 

[Burgey]

Surprised you were watching given you’re a test fan

 

[Gnske]

Jadeja is a criminal and if you care about brain damage you're a beta.

It got one. Clearly not acceptable.

hurricane singlehandedly giving subcontinent posters' trolling abilities a bad name, an effect to be similarly observed by IPL bookies as against other bookies tbh

But only one warning was public. itstl

Yes, because one warning was designed to tell someone not to do one isolated badpost again rather than stopping an ongoing pattern of posting that plenty of people could easily recognise for what it was.

Shouldering arms on this friendly seamer, straight to the keeper.

Monga on India's selection worries

Wish there was more overlap between India's Test and limited overs batting sides. Would be nice to go into the Tests with recent match experience under the belt. Hope we play the warm-ups to win; I remember tour games were once considered to be more than a glorified net in whites.

Just to be clear, Morgie actually got five infraction posts straight away (h_hurricane got none) because it was an obvious rule violation. We don't post warnings in threads about those because get notified of their points-bearing infractions anyway.

h_hurricane was warned for his antogonistic posting across the thread rather than a specific post, so he got no points but a warning to nudge him to can it.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

It's an interesting question, who is worse? The user throwing the rancid fly riddled bait out there, or the person who swallows it whole

 

[TheJediBrah]

Am I the only one who feels like they're in a kindergarten playground here? I get that online forums work better with moderation but ffs we're grown adults and I cringe every time someone complains about mods or infractions or whatever the **** else mods do

Don't agree with this but giving it the like because it's important for us to raise awareness for betas in society. The underprivileged need our support.

Your adult supervision and peace making attempts are quite cute.
