E: I've changed my mind about this. But you can't poo poo on about the tragedy of how your mate died and how awful it is and then proceed to keep doing that to other people without coming across as dicks.
Pretty sure the sentiment from Australian players, fans etc was that the bowler did nothing wrong and it was just a freak accident. Your point would only make sense if somebody from Australia took a stand against bowling at the body in the wake of Hughes' death. Nobody did that.

AB is cool and it's ok to feel sorry for him. gently caress most of those other guys, though.

The Australian cricket team is full of annoying arseholes and pretty much always has been in my lifetime. I don't want to support a bunch of people I don't like just because I was born relatively close to them.

If you want a decent sports broadcast you're looking at $90 a month and even that's not as good as it should be.

Foxtel starter pack + sports pack is $50 a month. $60 with HD.

How popular is the NBL in aus?

Not very popular at all. To the extent that teams are folding at an alarming rate and the league is on the verge of collapse.

Backing Australia is like backing the other team in the Mighty Ducks. In short it means there's something badly wrong with you.

My best friend and I played on opposing junior Aussie Rules teams from under 8s to under 14s and we still argue about which of us were the Ducks and which were the Hawks.

Is there something I can be directed to online that goes into detail about the issues with the West Indies Cricket Board over the last couple of decades? It's something I'm only vaguely aware of and I'd like to know more.

We should embrace mankadding and even count it towards the bowlers wicket stats.
