Thats totally lame even from you, time for a new Alt seriously.

Awww what did I miss?

I got the PMs, and the profile messages just like the last two Catweasel Alts when he lost his shit, and that was very exciting but I feel like I missed out here.

He wasn’t. He was better. Although Paine has set the bar very low.

There’s no reason why Smith shouldn’t be given the captaincy. Reads the game much better than Paine, is better tactically and would be less frivolous with DRS decisions.
Thing is, Smith, Warner, Cummins, Labs, Hazelwood etc are all part of what happened - as are the coaches... yes, captain is responsible on field, but he would be talking to these guys, or the whole set up is dysfunctional (even then it can work, Hadlee and Coney didn't talk to each other at one point, but communication happened) - there must be detailed planning ahead of time, certainly evident in India's approach, why has Australia got none? They think that in their conditions they can just hit a hard length and teams will capitulate (guess NZ reinforced that notion) and the bats can blaze away at will?

I just hang out here for the cricket chat.

Didn't realise there was a whole sub culture of Graeme Gooch worship here...

With a mo like that how could there not be!?

Langer has the mindset that his team is great and that losses can be written off because other teams or individuals in the opposition team do something extraordinary to win it.
