Aussie cricket legend Greg Ritchie takes hilarious shot at 'woke' eco warrior skipper Pat Cummins

Former Australian star Greg Ritchie hit out at Pat Cummins as he called the Australian Cricketers’ Association ‘disgraceful’ after it emerged former players would only be offered a miserable $30 food and drink voucher at the Sydney Test in January .

Ritchie – who has played 30 tests for his country – was shocked to hear whether he would attend Australia’s match against South Africa on day two at the SCG hospitality options were hard to say.

Given the cost of Hokkien noodles ($19) or stadium burger ($13.50) at the ground, the voucher won’t last long.

Throw in a couple of beers – which retail for at least $9.30 each – and the former Queensland batsman affectionately known as ‘Fat Cat’ will soon run out.

‘Maybe I can ask the chef if he can cut a hamburger in half so I don’t spend all my vouchers at once,’ he told the Daily Telegraph.

Ritchie also took a swipe at Test skipper and climate crusader Pat Cummins, who has made his thoughts on the divisive subject known.

‘I wonder if I can buy eight chicken nuggets and eat four in the first session and then eat the other four after the tea break?

‘It’s embarrassing and insulting but also hilarious – a $30 voucher. Can you imagine the Queensland Rugby League FOGs sending that – can you imagine the chaos?

Ritchie fired a salvo at current skipper Pat Cummins, who recently confirmed he will not appear in any ads for Cricket Australia sponsor Alinta Energy this summer.

‘I’m just glad they’ve given us plenty of notice for this wonderful amalgamation as it will allow me to hire my electric bike and ride around Sydney so I’m carbon-neutral in keeping with the Australian captain’s theme, ‘ Brisbane -based Ritchie said.

Cummins’ stance on action against climate change has been a major talking point, and he has also asked the public how cricket can better manage its carbon footprint.

‘It has always been a balance,’ he said when asked about his sponsorship stance.

‘We’ve seen some players make decisions based on religions, or certain foods they eat, where they won’t partner with specific partners.

‘Every organization has a responsibility to do what is right for the sport and what they think is right for the organisation, and I hope for society, when it moves forward.’

This comes despite climate crusader Cummins driving the Range Rover SUV, which is considered one of the worst vehicles in the world when it comes to pollution.
