I always wish Glenn Maxwell did this tactic because it's true

#cricket #Laura reads 100 funniest moments of Australian cricket #but just at the MCG for literally any cricket game (stars or Australia or Fitzroy Doncaster) the crowd noise when maxi comes out to bat....#like come on we're only here for maxi #maxi is to Victoria what Dale Thomas was to Collingwood fans in 2006 #maxi is to Victoria what Ginni was to Collingwood #which makes it odd why we couldn't block Ginni's trade like Victoria did to maxi a few years back #or block Daisy's trade #Daisy wouldn't have left it was that goddamn Nathan Buckley that sent Daisy packing #maybe that's how Daisy manages to have a foot in both camps and be liked and respected by both rivals #he's said publicly that he didn't want to leave Collingwood (even at the time he said don't flush your number 13 guernseys)#he helped Carlton enough to make their fans like him but never took them to a finals series so Collingwood fans are okay with that #why has this random picture from a book turned into an essay on Dale Thomas??????#Jesus Laura get over him #stop doing the wordle it's stupid

My list of 100 funniest moments of Australian* cricket would include Haris Rauf being plucked from a random game of grade cricket in Tasmania by Melbourne Stars recruiters (who, let's be real, is just a overly large seagull), played a decent bunch of big bash games, made the other Stars players poo themselves during nets sessions, and get a national call up to play for his home country of Pakistan

*I mean it happened in Australia so counts as Australian

Omg I know this one

Okay so they had Nathan Hauritz, Xavier Doherty (who lasted quite awhile until I think KP tore him to shreds) then Michael Beer (who lasted two seconds before the entire England team tore him to shreds and he popped up in big bash for a decent amount of time until Finch tore him to shreds)

Then in about 2013, they just thought stuff it, if we can't get one that spins like Warnie, what about we get one that looks like Warnie and they wheeled out a young boy with bleached hair taking Nick Riewoldt marks on the boundary in T20 matches and

That didn't last long, I think Lyon came along shortly after and the selectors clung him like a barnacle on a ship "please save us, we'll market you as a goat, the greatest off spinner of all time, don't tell anyone there's no other off spinners around"

The Warnie lookalike reared his less bleached head a few years later as more of a Bradman clone and the Test team was set.

#Laura reads 100 funniest moments of Australian cricket #There i wrote the chapter #do i have to read it #no but can i go on hard quiz with the expert subject of 'the post Warnie pre-Lyon era'#that was my era #i was just getting into cricket right as Warnie and mcgrath retired (bad timing i know) so i was there i was present through all of it #maxi could've debuted around that era I'm not sure #maxi was never considered the way Smith was though #i don't know where Smith came from and he was selected purely for bowling.....#for like two seconds #he stayed around at t20 and ODI levels though and batted really well and eventually was put back in the test team as a batter
