Cricket Crap

Just finished watching the AB 3 part special for the second time. What a f**king legend Allan Border is. Make no mistake any of you young blokes around here who never saw him play and lead his team - this guy, along with Bob Simpson, turned Australian cricket from a joke circa 1986 into a dominant juggernaut from basically 1989 onwards...

Gave himself a 6 out of 10 as a player/captain.... Humble in the extreme, he's an 8.5 minimum. No question.
He played in arguably the toughest era for batting, the pitches weren’t great and then you had the Windies. Let alone all the other world class bowlers around at the time. He’d average 60 in this weak era.

Cummins is a really classy dude tbh.

He's also right. The idea of a massive energy company pulling a massive exposure deal based on one bloke is hilarious. And not everyone who takes a plane or drives a car somewhere is a hypocrite for also having environmental sympathies. That's just morons stuck in a mythical black vs white 'sport and politics don't mix' mentality. He's handled some really dumb trolls very well

Forget the dumb trolls, look at it from Alintas viewpoint

That one bloke is the captain, who is also a 'really classy dude' that you want representing your brand, but he decided to pull out of your advertising, and voiced concerns about you as their sponsor

Cummins expressed his reservations to Cricket Australia about its sponsorship deal with Alinta Energy on the eve of the Test summer

Not sure it was the only reason for their withdrawal, but it had to play some part

It's highly unlikely for a successful business to care about that. The logo is on every jersey and all over the coverage. Yeah Cummins is a good get for the ads but has anyone ever chosen any product based on the wooden performance of a cricketer in the ad?

But also, look at the comments of any story about it. Every deadshit and his dog is backing Alinta.

It's madness but somehow they had nothing but positive press out of it.

Atlinta was also the one who got involved and backed CA in desperate times so they should be grateful for them somewhat if you ask me.
