Not great.

 

[Spikey]

he either intentionally tried to hit hughes, or the guy everyone's been sucking off for two weeks about how great he is can't aim a throw at the stumps from meters away, making him no better than Kane Richardson

 

[Spikey]

and lyon and starc should be booted out of the innings when they do that **** too. you can get booted out of the innings for attempting to bowl yorkers and missing them but straight up throwing balls at the batsman gets a "oh you shouldn't do that"

Not great.

Pattinson is just not a good person, huh? Comes across as a very bitter and very dire person, with loads of attitude issues, even from what I recall of his sledging etc. Another Sreesanth.

 

[Spikey]

he's an english victorian he didn't have a chance.

Australians had a dark history i never knew about, you can sense the anger sometimes

Good take from this

What do you mean? He said sorry ffs. Hughes should be grateful he has the privilege of facing up to him

That throw from Patto probably was a bit dumb, but the way you lot are carrying on you would think he bowled a deliberate beamer from 15 yards out

Lets all give the moralistic pearl clutching a rest here


Also, looks like Murray Goodwin's son is in line for his WA dayboo

he's actually one of the better blokes on the scene

Why would a deliberate beamer from 15 meters be particularly worse than a deliberate attempt to throw the ball at Hughes' feet? (From even closer). They're in same postcode of horrid **** that Cricket Australia would be attempting to stamp out if they actually cared about improving the culture of Australian cricket (that is, players turning into big cry babies when the going gets tough and doing dumb **** like throwing the ball at batsmen or doing a bad job of ball tampering because the New Real AB is kicking your arse all over the place)

I know you think that's what happened

 

[Spikey]

Well if Pattinson was attempting to hit the stumps I dare say that might explain why he only got Sangha out yesterday

 

[TheJediBrah]

He wasn't attempting to hit the stumps. Looked to me that he was just being a dumbass and limply aimed it toward the ground to avoid actually risking hurting the batsman but ended up ironically causing more damage by hitting him on the foot.

Obviously still stupid behaviour and shouldn't have thrown the ball at all but let's stop pretending that he was deliberately trying to hit the batsman's foot

 

[Spikey]

I have a bridge I'd like to sell to you

 

[Spikey]

More to the point of my original post, Pattinson doesn't actually face any trouble from throwing it at his feet, so it's not like I can get upset at him. If you can't beat them, beat them up.

if cricket was a normal sport and Pattinson actually could be taken out of the game for doing whatever he was trying to do (at best, I can only think that was he attempting to intermediate Hughes which is ...yeah) I could perhaps understand jumping through hoops to try to defend because he's surely not dumb enough to risk getting kicked from the game on day 4, but as it is, he's clearly just being a piece of **** like plenty an Australian bowler before him, and its a systematic issue that needs to be stop before someone does get seriously injured

Also he's basically a pom now so the ECB should answer for this

 

[GoodAreasShane]

This whole "culture" stuff is so absurdly overblown you could use it as an airship.

I have nothing but utter contempt for those who saw Cape Town as an excuse to jump on their high horse and and eulogise about a supposed "better culture" that never existed in the first place. To some degree or another, cricketers have always been ****s

I do agree on one thing though, the worst thing about the ball tampering is what an appallingly hamfisted job they did

Apparently Skull is tipping Jake Carder as an Ashes bolter

Honestly never heard of the guy but at least he’s not Harris

That Patto stuff was nothing

 

[Cool Howie]

I've got no idea why Patto seems to be widely considered a top bloke. Got banned for a homophobic slur as well.
