Complaints

U11 Reds coach (Adam Hoyle) of Palmwoods cricket club, at last game of season against my son's team behaviour was bullying, inappropriate and unfair. A child from his team was hurt and not playing, but there to support team. The coach ignored him when the child greeted him and then throughout match talked to boys around this child and used put downs. He loudly and multiple times told the children about playing for kegs of beer. When a child went and thanked him for coaching he ignored the child and began talking to others around about alcohol. He had a 13 play for the team, who is not registered with Palmwoods Cricket Club. This child is 2 to 3 years older, and the coach was yelling get a six and hit a catch up here. When the same child got 3 wickets he boasted and belittled other players. This is a game for children, who are impressionable and vulnerable. This person should not be a coach.

I have updated to the Cricket Australia app. When I checked the start time yesterday morning the app showed Aus 318, Pak 6/194, batting Wiaan Mulder 56, Ed Barnes 5... At stumps the score had been updated but the batting & bowling was still from another match. Today when Pakistan need 192 runs to win the batting is shown as Smirti Mand 38, Jemima Rodrig 12 Bowler Jess Jonassen. I have screen shots if you are in any doubt that the app has (continuing) issues.

Cricket Australia have made a decision not to mention Australia Day on Australia Day. This is shameful. Regardless of what some individuals think, the 26th of January is our national day & as our national team is playing on our national day it should be celebrated & mentioned often. There’s a wise saying, you can’t please everyone. I am in no doubt, this decision has displeased & angered an awful lot more people than it’s pleased. Look at the latest polls. Hugely in favour of Australia Day on 26th January & now the woke cricket board decide to ignore all of that because a tiny minority. This rubbish I heard on the Ben Fordham radio program about indigenous players not wanting “their country’s” national day mentioned is pathetic & absolutely no reason to go against the wishes of the masses.

I want to complain about the banning of Australia day. I will never watch or attend any Australian cricket again. I'm disgusted at the arbitrary decision.

I love cricket especially Test Cricket but I am so disappointed in your company not acknowledging Australia Day. Have your welcome to country but sing the National Anthem as well. Be fair or better still stay out of politics.

Very disappointed with your stance on Australia Day. This is a day for 100% of Australians not just indigenous people who you recognise constantly with welcome to country, indigenous round etc. Whether the date is changed is NOT UP TO YOU. until then you should represent ALL AUSTRALIANS 🇦🇺🇦🇺 Love our Aussie cricketers & I am a very proud Australian & need to be acknowledged also. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY 🦘🇦🇺

Smearing Australia Day by Cricket Australia - Cricket Australia officials are an absolute disgrace and DO NOT represent most Australians and cricket lovers. Australia Day is for all Aussies, it is ALL INCLUSIVE and is not to be toyed with by WOKE, bum administrators and self-serving cricketers. If Australia Day offends any Australian cricketer, let them stand down for the test. There is no leadership in CA. What did CA have to say about the Jewish captain who lost his job in South Africa? Yep, voiceless and weak. CA is pathetic. Kevin

As an avid follower of test match cricket i wish to advise Cricket Australia that i will not be watching the test match at the Gabba on Australia Day due to the stupid decision not to mention Australia Day Ken Moon

To whom it may concern, I have found your decision not to celebrate Australia day during the upcoming test very disappointing. I am a children of migrant parents – this country has given us everything!! I am proud to be Australian and CA should not be disrespecting this wonderful nation. It is our national day – the players are representing Australia (all of us – irrespective of background). An absolute disgrace of a decision Can this be taken as official complaint - given I am a tax payer that funds your organisation You are all in a very privileged position and your represent ALL of Australia!! Looking forward to your response

The decision to stop play due to bad light on day 2 of the Syd Test was a disgrace. Patrons have paid $100+ each per ticket. Are you providing entertainment or simply lining your own pockets?! There will be no profits coming in future if you keep treating your audience with such contempt. And the information/engagement with the patrons at the live venue has been a disgrace - there has been no updates whatsoever of the situation… dozens of what were obviously sponsors piling on to the field was the only sign that no play was forthcoming. Be better.
