Good talk, why dont you pivot back to shaking your fist at a test player scoring a hundred going on the honours board, thats more your wheelhouse.
I'm actually watching the golf in India.

Cricket against Sri is a bit like footy against GC or GWS.

Where have the dinosaurs gone.

Who cares what honours board they go on.

They are Men's Honour Boards. It's outrageous that Women playing a standard worse than U17 Australian Men are on the same board as Steven Smith, Allan Border, Mark Edward and Stephen Roger Waugh amongst others. When we know the chicks middle names - they can go on, until then they have no business. The Men's Ashes has been going for 150 odd years not 10, ffs. We don't have to share everything with them. Seriously. Build them a HOF Centre with money made from Telvising their game. I'm sure the 1 Bedroom apartment in downtown Melton will be wonderful for the Hall of Fame where you can hang their Honour Boards and house Alyssa Healey's soon to be Bronzed Gloves, for eternity. You can hang Elyse Perry's jock strap next door, if that's your thing. You could probably sniff it for a gold coin donation.

This is Australia Cricket my friend. Not some Charity Case.

It's serious. If you don't like it, GAGF.

Yeah when you kick the Bucket - you can go chat to Warnie and the Don about it.
Then the Don will go - hey numbnuts there’s been a female on the honour board since 1934 👍🏼

They aren’t. The boards just say “Australia”.

Mark Latham takes aim at ‘woke’ MCG honour board claim​

Independent MP Alex Greenwich says Mark Latham’s “homophobic” tweet clearly indicates to many of the public he is “unfit for office”.

Former Federal Opposition leader Mark Latham has taken aim at a prestigious MCG tradition labelling the move “woke.”
The former Australian Labor Party opposition leader stirred controversy after the MCG added cricketer Annabel Sutherland’s name to the honour board of Australians to have made Test centuries at the MCG.
Ms Sutherland scored a stellar 163 runs in her first innings of the Women’s Ashes Test but Mr Latham was more concerned people might “think it’s her dad.”
“Shouldn’t the Woke add pronouns,” he commented on X.

The MCG responded to dispel any potential confusion over the initials of Sutherland’s first and middle names.
“Her Dad’s name is James which does not start with the letter A. Hope this helps,” they said.
Mr Latham said it was “very confusing”.
“AJ, could be like MC Cowdrey, CG Greenridge or with one of your old patrons, JM Fraser,” he said.
“Very confusing. Needs a pronoun!!!”

The comments were then flooded with support for the MCG’s recognition of the impressive knock.
Ms Sutherland made history to become the first woman added to the honour board on Saturday with teammate Beth Mooney joining her only hours later.

Latham confused? There’s a shock 🙄

There’s something about Left Arm Chinaman bowling that I have a big soft spot for…
Maybe all the years of Brad Hogg and Old Man Kraks throwing the arm over makes me happy to see Kuhneman doing well (even for a Syria player)

I agree with the sentiment, given the rarity of a left arm chinamen bowler.
But Kuhneman is a finger spinner, left arm orthodox.
We've had a few left arm orthodox spinners given a crack in the post Warne era. Doherty, Beer, Agar, O'Keefe and Holland, Kuhneman is easily the best of that lot.
O'Keefe was under used and should've played more alongside Lyon in the subcontinent, the rest were spuds at international level.

Beau Casson is the only specialist left arm chinamen bowler who got a game. But Simon Katich was probably a better exponent than him, as a part timer.

Kuhneman is left arm orthodox, i.e. the opposite of chinaman spin.

Edit - aaah too late.
