That sounds so very wrong.

Do you honestly think if he was a bad influence in the dressing room that wouldn't then be transposed and manifest itself out on the pitch? Sounds rather naive that. A happy, spirited, cohesive dressing room is key to a good team out on the pitch. Listen to managers, the likes of Kenny...

I'm sure you're on a lot more money than me, NW. ;)

Yep. Totally agree. He's not coming back, so why have threads on getting him back? Pointless, sadly.

Women's cricket is without doubt, very inferior. There's a lack of pace and fast bowling and big hitting, all the things that make cricket really enjoyable.

Yep, but not talking about outstanding catches and great reflexes, I'm talking about little lobbed up dolly catches. The sort my daughter can do in the playground with her eyes closed.

I struggle for money, but it is well worth it, being out of the rat race.

Just all feels wrong when I watch it. They move the ropes in, fair enough. Women can't hit the ball as hard as men. They bowl more slowly. Fine, men can bowl quicker. They can't hit the ball as hard, again, fine. What I don't get is a dolly of a catch put down and excuses been made and...

We haven't got many other options, pax.

I rated him, but he went and as soon as he went I knew that any talk of him coming back was totally redundant.

But how do you know it is down the manager's ego? I find all this talk very fanciful and fairy tale like. He is not coming back. We need to get over it.

Yep. He was running around like he was wearing concrete slippers.

Maddison is on international duty!!!

But how on earth could we get him to play for 9 matches if the manager and player don't see eye to eye? It's a nonsense isn't it? Either the manager doesn't want him to play for us or JOB doesn't want to play for the manager. To bring him back under that scenario would be a ridiculous thing to do.

Just watching NZ v Aus 20/20 women's cricket and I can't help but notice the amount of sympathy and 'understanding' when there's a simple dropped catch or a ball not cut off for a boundary. Had it been the men's game the player in question would have been slaughter. Is it patronising? Is it...

I don't think I would be, no.

He's gone. He's not coming back.
