So some female Fox commentator has been caught on a hot mic. When Bumrah was referred to as MVP, she said “Most Valuable Primate”.

Ch7 are milking it bc they are the alternative network. I am guessing that it won’t make the News Ltd papers.
last time I looked at zoology, we (humans) were/are primates so what she said wasnt wrong.

I think I can safely say she never intended to offend him, rather she was commenting on his physical presence and attributes, but in today's Woke world you can't say what she said

careless at best, storm in a teacup, she was back in front of the mic after her apology

For the love of all that’s holy.

Obviously, we have angered the gods by moving the first test away from Brisbane, I suggest we sacrifice someone to remedy this situation.

I believe the sacrifice should be Labs. He can go out doing something good for the Australian team and nation.

That’s what you get when you don’t play the first test up here in Nov, we get storms then but most of them are late afternoon unlike the ones we have this week which are blowing in off the coast.

That is a turning point in the series. The fact that we couldn't get a nuffy out to enforce the follow on will come back to bite us. So many times we've been in this position with either the bat or the ball with the tail enders. Well this is going nowhere tomorrow. I might mow the lawn instead.

it will be a draw, imo

this is why we have a spinner, Lyon should have done the job today, he was bowling legside to the tail with a leg gully and a bat pad, how very attacking

we should have done it even without Haze, we blew that last hour bowling short shit to the tail and leg side crap

I'm as big a critic of Lyon as anyone but this isn't a normal 4th or 5th day track we're talking about. It's had that much moisture falling on it to juice it up that it's probably not like a day 2 or 3 deck. Add in the continual rain breaks and the ball rolling on the wet outfield and any spinner is going to have a helluva time trying to get it rip and bounce.

Can't be blaming the BOAT on this occasion I'm afraid...

an off spinner bowling leg side line was to a leg side field was never gonna clean up the tail, not that he ever has and Cummins allowing it is equally to blame
