Thing is, Australians, Kiwis, Chinese or Hong Kongians really can't joke about covid without it being in poor taste (at best). If someone from the UK who had lost their parents started joking about covid, that would be fine because they're doing it to in part cope with the situation.

Context is everything with this kind of thing.

the term is Hong Konger

Good catch that. I remember calculating Fazal's matting-to-non matting averages once and it was something like 15/38.

 

[trundler]

You're both pretty much right. Fazal was a moderate downgrade over Fazal which makes me a shameless hypocrite but hey

A belated comment about Anderson's performances "Down Under". While he has struggled at times, his performances at the MCG have been fine 13 wickers at 24.2 in 3 matches there.
