Should we be worried about Craig Ervine?

Burl is a complete passenger and sneaks under the radar with more shocking selections and performances from other guys covering for him. Got 2k t20i runs the same series Bennett did but been playing 10 years longer 😂

Can think of probably two match winning knocks in his entire career and one blistering bowling performance. He should be the case study of white privilege avoiding too much scrutiny 😂😂

He can hit sixes at least, unlike our other "finishers".

He’s low key awesome 😂 not as in your face as Raz or Williams but he’s got regular 50s (or there abouts) in him. Seem to remember he got a few decent 40s in the tests vs SA last year when everyone else was struggling.

Whoa there...easy on the recency bias. Very good knock the other day, but it is Australia's second string attack.

Confirmation bias. Imagine if I said a certain player from Zim needs to go and it's because I assume he is acting like typical victims and never wanting to change themselves always blaming others, instead of building yourselves up and others through hardwork and determination. Only 5% of people in this world 🌍 are privileged, the elites, the majority of which are mixed race.

In regards to Burl. You cannot compare stats with an opener who can face 60 balls and Burl may get 6. Burl has got a ridiculous amount of not ours. Why does race have to do with anything, white privilege you said. Can you not look past someone's skin colour, in a white Aussie guy following Zimbabwe since late 2000 early days of 2001. It's tiresome and surely you can say something more intelligent. And without getting into a political debate, there's no such thing as white privilege anymore, it's the opposite. In the US, UK, Europe, Aus, most working class citizens live pay check to pay check, they have negative feelings about themselves, they carn't buy property, rent is ridiculous, inflation increases by 9.5% over a 12 month period , pay rise increased by 3.5%. it's not covering the inflation. You can look at the facts, these are widely studied subjects across Yale, Harvard, and Sydney, London, Melbourne. I suppose it greatly depends on where you reside and live in this world.

I know of you PatBee from the previous forum which I loved for my daily Zim cric updates etc. i respect everyone's takes and opinions on anything cricket related, but using the race card, especially with Zimbabwe and how it had, and still has its issues in the system and structurally have got issues within the system. I'm not here to hate anyone, or police this forum, but I'll call B.S out when others are part of the problem, not helping the solution. Peace ✌🏻

This white privilege is a real thing. White players get great PR from certain fan bases based on nothing more than the assumption they must be good at cricket because they’re white.

Like the whole Brad Evans social media campaign 😂 where is that for a black player like Masekesa or Mavuta when people are complaining Wellington isn’t a good enough spinner?! It’s nowhere. Guys will post about it for a couple of days then go quiet. Guys want Wellington dropped for Burl. The reasoning being Wellington doesn’t bowl his full quota and doesn’t take wickets, the solution is swap him for a white lad who bowls even less of his quota and takes even less wickets 💁🏻‍♂️ the crazy thing is wellington’s ODI economy is 4 point something, you won’t find anyone cheaper.

Yeah well there is one guy on the bench who happens to be a leggie, aint in the best of form but still has far better stats than the legendary wellington
