This is where we are standing in Australian cricket at the moment.
Yeah, it wasn't good.
I was watching a bit of that.
I normally like to bring something very light to the table at 4-4, as you know, Damo.
And I'm a little bit... I've actually been thinking about this for three days as to whether to bring it up or not.
And I probably don't have the eloquence to quite bring it up, but I'm going to do my best here.
So I follow Jarman Impey on Instagram and he put out a screenshot that Marbjörg Tjoll had screenshotted after Hawthorne's loss the other night.
And Marbjörg Tjoll was sent... Well, he was racially vilified, Damo.
And the message that sent his way was... It was disgusting.
And it really had an impact on me.
And I showed it to my wife and showed it to my kids and we discussed it.
And racism in 2026, like...
I don't quite know how to say this, Damo, but to think you can send people messages of hate because they have a different skin colour to you, I find extraordinary.
It's basic, it's uneducated, it's ignorant, it's hate-mongering.
So the gentleman that was purported to have sent this to Mabior...
He deleted his Instagram account.
Apparently there was a picture of him, obviously, and a small child on Instagram account.
But I just wanted to point out something, Damo, that anyone who's doing this in the modern world, that the landscape is changing.
So Jace Burgoyne was sent something that Port Adelaide described as vile, as an understatement.
And Jace stood up and reported it.
