  • Well done Starc and Brisbane

    From Dechucka@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 22 06:49:06 2021
    Was great from his first ball taking 5 for 48, no wonder the WI
    commentators called him one of the current greats.
    Well done Brisbane getting the 2032 Olymoics. Although I don't
    understand how they managed to not get a unanimous IOC vote in a one
    horse race.

    9, 18 & 33 for Test, ODO & T20. Go figure.

    The exceptions were probably pissed off that they didn't get a paper bag.

    FFS 2.0. I'm saying that the troughsters abstained in a funk because they *didn't* get their usual bribe.

    As I haven't been there for yonks, or possibly ever, there's little value.

    Starc bowled very well indeed last night. For the first time in any of
    the matches he's played in the Caribbean on this tour. Great bowlers
    perform superbly in more than one match out of six. A lot of ordinary
    bowlers have the occasional great game.

    As commentators go, Daren Ganga is slightly more useless than Danny
    Morrison, and while Ian Bishop is good on tactics and assessing the
    game in front of him, he makes Wasim Akram sound like a miseryguts
    when saying how good a player is.

    Chuckles's evidence amounts to proving that Mrs Macquarie's Chair is
    near the top of a major mountain. They obviously set bars very low in
    NSW.

    Cheers,

    Mike

    I'm guessing, but I think the 3 abstentions might be the 3 countries
    who also expressed an interest - Qatar, Hungary & Germany.

    The 5 negative votes may be IOC members who are not fully on board
    with the new selection process. Instead of cities bidding to hold
    the Games, the IOC now has a dialog with potential areas/regions
    which they think might be suitable, and agrees on their preferred
    location earlier. The process isn't as transparent as some countries
    would like, but one of the main aims is to streamline everything
    and reduce the costs.

    AFAIK they expressed an interest but didn't go ahead with a full bid.
