Enormous misjudgement of conditions and pitch on the first day, absolutely dreadfully so. Salmon and his team must take the blame for that. It’s not the first time they’ve done it, either. How can you get it so wrong?

Misreading the conditions and pitch as the home team is criminal. I agree.

I had a look on X earlier. Its about as toxic as it gets.
I see Wellie is the hot topic with Zolsky justifying why he's there and others attacking him.
The user Zolsky went at I am pretty sure is here somewhere, I recognise the name from years ago.

It’s frustrating that his a source of information. Be great to never have to give him the time.

Frank will keep on doing that because he feels that social media has favourites based on skin colour. So as long as he sees Welch not getting the same treatment as Wellington, Kaitano, Wes and Prince he will keep doing what he does best.

It got to the point of people attacking Raza over Welch. Think about that for a second. How that was even a question will remain a mystery. If you look at it from an unbiased angle you will see that everyone is contributing towards what will eventually become a toxic environment. Score big runs like what Bennett has done and you won't have anyone asking why you are in or out of the team

I do agree to a bit of this.

Anyway, are we going to get past 100

I don’t even think the tusker spinners got many this Logan cup.

I would keep Wellington for the next and bring in another pace bowler. Almost be tempted to bring 4 pace bowlers

This is what happens when you go out with a negative mentality. We lost this game on day 1. It doesn't matter how many games we have this year, no one will really care about us if we keep producing this absolute shit house.

Selectors need to be fired and we need a massive shift in mentality within the team and the set up.
