    What have you binged due to quarantine that you wouldn't have looked twice at otherwise?

    Thread title speaks for itself. I've binged a number of shows - old and new - during quarantine that I probably never would've watched if I had been allowed to get out of my house and socialise on the weekend. I thought perhaps some others were in the same boat, and it could be a bit of fun to...

    No Time To Die release pushed seven months.

    https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/film/2020/mar/04/james-bond-no-time-to-die-november I think we’re going to see this happening with a lot of big budget films that are coming up. People can’t or won’t go to the movies in China at the moment and anything with a $100m+ budget is...

    This World Cup

    Is it just me, or is there way less buzz around this world cup than there has been in past years? It feels a bit more like a Champions Trophy in that people know that it's on but don't really seem to be paying attention. Mates of mine in England are saying that there is very little hype around...

    Captains

    Five f**king captains for Penrith today, and the Tigers have six? If everyone is a captain then there’s no point of anyone being the captain. The club should have to nominate one captain, and two vice-captains before each match. Captain is the only one who can speak to the ref, and the VC’s can...

    The Orville

    I know a few of us were discussing it in the Star Trek thread, but it demands its own post. Man, season two has kicked it up a notch. This show that was marketed as Star Trek with dick jokes is actually a heavy hitting, pretty high-concept sci-fi show that hits you in the feels when you least...

    Moeen Ali claiming he was racially abused by Australian player.

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/45532699 I find it interesting that he won’t name names publicly, and that it’s taken him three years to come forward. Apparently the unnamed player has strongly denied it too.

    Cook retires.

    http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/24564506/alastair-cook-announces-england-retirement-india-series Say what you like about the guy, but geez in form he was a sight. Possibly the best tour I've seen of Australia in my lifetime by any batsman was his in 2010/11.

    2018 BBL draw announced.

    https://www.bigbash.com.au/fixtures 14 game season as of next year. More double headers, a triple header and games clashing with test matches (dunno how I feel about that). Also three games on the Gold Coast, two in Launceston and one in Alice Springs. Nothing so far it seems in Geelong...

    Ed Joyce Retires

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/northern-ireland/44241902 I know he's no ABD, but I wanted to mention this. Comfortably the best Ireland has every produced. Arguably the best ever produced by an associate. I'm glad he was able to hold on long enough to earn a test cap, it clearly meant the world to...

    Sutherland has to go

    This latest move of cancelling the Bangladesh tour is disgusting from CA and Sutherland. He actually had the gall to say 'it was too difficult to organise'. Mate, you're the head of the board. If organising an inbound two-match series is too tough, you're in the wrong job. He has botched...

    New captain.

    Well, who'd have thought this would be a post on Monday morning - or even halfway through this most recent test? Smith and Warner's positions are obviously untenable and they could conceivably be banned for extended periods in any case. The remains of the leadership group - Starc, Haze and Lyon...

    2020 World T20

    Hosted in Australia, venues announced today. Surprise surprise, the MCG gets the final. Pisses me off a bit - other countries share the love a little for ICC event finals, when England has hosted Champions Trophy's they've played finals at Edgbaston and The Oval, India has played finals of ICC...

    Hayne walking out on Titans.

    Reported now on Fox Sports. The league needs to put a red line through this guys name, he's making a mockery of it.

    BBL Commentary 2017/18

    I've just read that Punter, Gilly and (thank Christ) Fleming have been poached by BT Sport to do the UK commentary for the Ashes this year. Presumably this means that they won't be calling the BBL? I've had a look online but can't see much, have there been any announcements on who Ten have in...

    Really NZ???

    NZ's announced its home summer schedule - four tests and about eight million limited overs games. It was originally five tests, but they cancelled one against the Windies for more T20s. Furthermore, they said this would be their standard patter for home summers to come. So much for wanting to...

    Sledging.

    This is really starting to piss me off. Every country sledges. Every country gives niggle in the field. There is always banter and occasionally raised tempers. It doesn't matter who is playing. Why is it then, the other nine test playing nations get on their f**king high horse about it when...

    BBL going forward.

    So the BBL is expanding from 8 to 10 games per team next season, with the extra home game likely to be played at a neutral venue so we will likely see BBL games in places like Canberra, The Gold Coast, Geelong etc. next year. Each passing year it seems like fans are caring less and less about...
