Australian cricket star Greg Ritchie takes a hilarious shot at ‘awakened’ eco warrior captain Pat Cummins as he explodes over ‘insulting’ offer to former Test stars
- Former Test star Greg Ritchie was surprised to discover the level of ‘hospitality’ for the SCG test
- Past greats will only receive a $30 food and drink coupon for the second day of action
- Ritchie also had a go at Pat Cummins and her “woke” approach to climate change.
Former Australian star Greg Ritchie lampooned Pat Cummins when he called the Australian Cricketers Association ‘disgraceful’ after it emerged that former players will only be offered a measly $30 food and drink voucher at the Sydney Test in January.
Ritchie, who has played 30 Tests for his country, was surprised to learn that if he attends the Australia-South Africa game on day two at the SCG, the hospitality options will be slim, to say the least.
Given the cost of Hokkien noodles ($19) or a stadium burger ($13.50) on the field, the coupon won’t last long.
Throw in a few beers, which retail for as low as $9.30 each, and the former Queensland batsman affectionately known as ‘Fat Cat’ will soon be out of pocket.
“Maybe I could ask the chef if he can cut a burger in half so I don’t spend all my coupon at once,” he told the Daily telegraph.

Ritchie also criticized test pattern and climate advocate Pat Cummins, who has made his thoughts on the divisive issue known.
‘I wonder if I could buy eight chicken nuggets and eat four at the first sitting and then eat the other four after the tea break?
‘This is embarrassing and insulting, but also funny: a $30 voucher. Can you imagine the Queensland Rugby League FOGs sending that out? Can you imagine the ruckus?
Ritchie fired a salvo at current skipper Pat Cummins, who recently confirmed that he will not appear in any advertisements for Cricket Australia sponsor Alinta Energy this summer.
“I’m glad they gave us enough advance notice for this wonderful meeting because it would allow me to rent my electric bike and travel to Sydney, so I’m carbon neutral in keeping with the Australian captain theme,” Brisbane. Ritchie said based.
Cummins’ stance on action against climate change has been a major talking point, and he has also asked publicly how cricket can better manage its carbon footprint.
“There’s always been a balance,” he said when asked about his endorsement stance.
“We have seen certain players make decisions based on religions or certain foods they eat, where they will not partner with specific partners.
“Every organization has a responsibility to do what’s right for the sport and what they think is right for the organization, and I hope society, as it moves forward.”
It comes despite the fact that climate advocate Cummins has been seen driving a Range Rover SUV, considered one of the worst vehicles in the world when it comes to pollution.
