I saw Kohlis press conference the other day.......prize tool for a class player. On the pitch he acts too much like an arrogant rock star at times and less like the role model he should be.

well when you have 1,375,566,709 people kissing your arse and worship everything you do and say, its little surprise he acts like a cock, TBH he could run over a whole school in his car and there would still be twats holding up signs supporting him... if Carlsberg did wankers :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

this after one of his fielders had called 2 for the New Zealand batsmen and he saw nothing wrong in it.

as per, great batsman, less so the attitude

My old club would’ve loved playing against an arrogant tw*t like him.
Don’t get me wrong we were crap but we could sledge with the best of them

ICC continue to push womens cricket, huge push that its mega important etc, yet theyre holding a world cup where there are no reserve days for the semi finals! Probably best the ICC dont look at Thursdays forecast for Sydney after the last lot of group games were washed out
looks like you were spot on

What would they do if this was the men's game?

I think the BBC in their report said it was the same at the men's event later this year.

a decent performance first up by the Aussies, 184, but looked like 200 at one point... India show their class .. at the moment:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: loving the glum faces;)

Question to ex-cricket players.

Nipper got hit in the box by a wayward full toss from a fast bowler. He went down straightaway. No danger about grandkids. However the area where the box makes contact with body looks a bit swollen at the moment. Can it be ice-packed?

He can ice pack it if he wants but I wouldn’t want to put an ice pack anywhere near down there

On another note I had my first indoor net today after a winter of taking golf more seriously than ever before and having lessons and it went horrendously I could barely hit it until my last 3/4 minutes when I could just about hit the ball out of the middle

Let nature take its course. Give him some calpol or paracetamol if old enough and he is in pain. If just swollen then leave him be.

Doesn't help with your question but the worst injury I saw on a cricket pitch was a guy being hit in the box. The ball hit the batsman's box and caused it to split. The two parts of the box parted and then snapped back together. Unfortunately when they snapped back together they trapped, what can only be called, the ball sack between the two pieces causing it to split. The front of his whites very quickly became red as he collapsed to the ground. And every guy in the ground went from giggling like schoolboys to cringing in the space of about half a second when they realised what had happened.

Update: Its been a few hours now. Also just got thru to my GP for a text back.
1) While we were waiting, did not ice pack it.. but he seems to be ok and doing homework
2) Dr says, you can ice-pack (did not specify if in privates but around it you can)
3) Dr asked to give ibuprofen - which he will get after dinner

I am surprised that the box survived intact. It is a 2 quid box from Sports Direct and it survived a full toss hard ball from a County age group bowler. ..

When i saw the incident, i had my heart in my mouth as i raced towards it. I thought i saw it as a beamer straight into the rib cage and he does not wear a chest guard. Head coach thought he had 'mistimed the shot' that deflected from the bat. But the other coaches got there first and got him sit & walk a bit, a bit of magic water. Sat for about 10 mins and then went to bat again. I must say he was middling it better after he was hit than before. Strange is the world
