This video was meant to be a joke.
But now TikTok/Insta people think I’m an American who doesn’t understand cricket.
Over a third of a million views and counting - and hundreds of comments mocking me for being a clueless American, lol.

Jadeja is the best ever Indian Test cricketer.
His figures are similar to those of Keith Miller and Imran Khan.
3rd best bowling average of any Indian - and a batting average of 37.
He does not get the credit he deserves.

I’m going to retro live tweet India v Sri Lanka from the 1992 World Cup!
SL win toss and field!
0.1 Ramanayake to Srikkanth: no run. Rain is starting.
0.2 Ramanayake to Srikkanth: pushes a single. Rain heavy now.
Umpires have taken them off.
Still raining.
Match abandoned.

Sydney today.
Normally a city with sparkling blue skies and lovely clear air.
And Australia recently elected a government headed by a man who proudly brandished a lump of coal in parliament.
So thoroughly depressing.

Overheard a drunk bloke in the pub saying this about Kohli.

He’s a great player.
He’s better than everyone else.

Slightly galling that after such hype about ‘cricket like never before’, Hussey and Mark Waugh joke over how hard they find ‘Phehlukwayo’ to pronounce and Hussey adds ‘haven’t seen much of him’.
If you don’t watch much cricket why are you commentating the cricket?

Ch 9 should not be cutting to the studio at wickets.
Viewers deserve to see the reception for the new batter.
And there’s not time for the studio hosts to say anything.
They began it with Ray Martin and Taylor in the 99 World Cup. It was no good then; no good now.

Desperately sad that Dean Jones has had a heart attack and died, aged 59.
In the late 80s & early 90s he was the most popular cricketer in Australia.
He *revolutionised* ODIs with his audacity and exuberance.
And what a wonderful record:
ODI avg 44.6
Test 46.6
FC 51.9

Australia should:
* Offer India *enormous* aid
* Charter flights to bring home all Aussies in India who want to
* Rapidly build new bespoke quarantine facilities
We are a rich nation with annual govt expenditure of half a trillion dollars.
We can afford to do what is right.

It’s a sad day for cricket in Australia.
A little thread:
After 48 years and 433 Aussie ODIs, today, one day cricket goes behind a paywall.
There will be vastly fewer Australians watching than for any Aussie home ODI in history.

The criticism of Cummins for being ‘woke’ is pathetic.
He’s a great player and a likeable leader.
So he’s taken a small stance against climate change - good!!!
Climate change is the biggest crisis to ever face humans.
More sports stars should follow his example.

Australia should be a republic.
Nothing to do with the royal family or England - and all to do with Australia.
Having a foreigner as our head of state is idiotic.
It’s embarrassing.
It’s ridiculous.

Maxwell batting at 7 is ridiculous.
He should be opening.
He should be picked in the Test side too.
Australia is squandering one of the most talented cricketers we’ve ever had - for no good reason at all.

Ponting is so much better than the other ex-players as a commentator.
I don’t know why the broadcasters don’t require the other ex-players to learn from him.
Ponting is genuinely insightful and interesting.
Many of the others don’t just spout cliches, they lean into them.

It'd be good if Aus win this series 3-2, then the T20s 3-0. And the Ashes 5-0. And I'd like to lose 20kg. That'd be a good summer.
