2nd Test: Australia v South Africa @ MCG Dec 26-29, 2022

Has Ngidi ever seen Head bat? Half volley 2 foot outside off stump is not the place to bowl.

Cramp is a helluva thing. There's times where I can't move my wrist for days.

Yep, but it’s conditioning/ the elements not sure they should be allowed back tbh

 

[Mr Angry]

Retiring hurt cause of cramp or heat doesn't sit right with me... Dean Jones' innings in Madras was far more adverse than what Davey has experienced today... I reckon he should be prohibited from resuming his innings tbh....

Got to let the other kids bat.

Yep, but it’s conditioning/ the elements not sure they should be allowed back tbh

And not an injury as such

Suck a dick you sad little man

 

[AlwaysGreen]

2nd new ball due. Can't give it to Rabada.

You can retire hurt with an illness. Heat exhaustion is an illness. An illness that can be fatal, tbh.

Weird take

Yep, differences though cramp is from playing, it is what it is, rules are rules and he might get a few more tomorrow

Good to see Border getting some attention. I don't think he gets the accolades that he deserves.

Cramp is also one of the first symptoms of severe dehydration or heat exhaustion.

Facetiousness aside I can't see any way anyone wins any argument that you can't retire hurt and must retire out in those circumstances. It's a bit ridiculous actually

 

[Meth]

I think under the conditions, even if there's discretion involved, allowing Warner to retire hurt is sensible and sporting. Clearly in bad shape in extreme conditions.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Heck of a shot by Head. Pretty shit ball but he dealt with like a mofo

 

[Mr. Shaman]

And not an injury as such

What if it were heat stroke?

Cramping and dehydration are just symptoms.

It's a grey area IMO.... He's got the "illness" of heat exhaustion because he has been out in the sun doing what he's employed and paid to do, with plenty of drinks breaks and what not on the hour etc. I dunno, what's the humidity at the MCG today anyone know? I just feel like it's a bit soft given how prepared and pampered (prolly part of the problem) players are today....

Renshaw retired hurt once because he needed to poopie didn’t he?

 

[_snafu_]

Head thinks he's playing for the Strykers.

*shart

 

[Bazal]

He had the runs yeah. And compassionate AB reckoned he shoulda f**ken shat himself and kept f**ken batting!

Cos we can all operate at our best while shitting through the eye of a needle and then sitting in it

innings over - not that complicated-- but beside the point, terrific innings from Warner

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Death was the only reason AB would allow someone to leave the field.
