    From Mike Holmans@24:150/2 to rec.sport.cricket on Thu Dec 10 20:14:57 2020
    I presume that an Australian playing for a Sinny team is at least some
    form of honorary Poo, but that actual Poos are scattered throughout
    the squads. Is this in fact the case, and if so, who were the actual
    Poos in the HHvSS game? I'm pretty certain James Vince isn't one.

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Dunno Mikey, I don't follow the BBL at all. Last time I watched a game my
    tv fizzled. Tech support said it was the team uniforms that did it.

    Does it matter?

    I've just looked at the scorecard and you're wrong:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO48798

    Vince scored 67, but his team lost. Conversely, Will Jacks made a duck,
    wasn't entrusted with a single over, but his team won. They seem to have
    been the only two Brits involved.

    Yes, I was watching. But since I've already acknowledged that Vince is
    not one (pretty obviously because he's English), I'm not sure how what
    you say is helpful in determining which of the players on show were
    from NSW. Since it appears I'm going to have to watch most of the BBL
    to placate my US friends, I want to know which of the players I don't
    much care about are over-rated by definition so that I can ignore the commontariat's hyping of them.

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Ah, I'd assumed that "Poo" must be a term of abuse that Australians use
    for Poms, not having been closely following the inter-state warfare that
    seems to be endemic in Australian cricket.

    BBL has very little to do with the State or City that the team is based
    at. E.G. in today's match between Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat,
    Nathan Coulter-Nile was player of the match and he is a West Australian!

    It's not endemic. Just the usual interstate rivalry that's vastly overly exaggerated in this ng by one old man yelling at clouds.
