We don't want them.

Good team. Brearley a great captain but an average cricketer. I think I'd have Dennis Amiss opening and Greig as captain. As for Underwood I think he makes England's best team of all-time ahead of greats such as Hedley Verity and Jim Laker.

That's an awesome recollection WireHawk. John Snow, Derek Underwood and David Gower are the only England players that I liked.

Deadly Derek Underwood, arguably England's greatest spin bowler has died aged 78. He played 86 Test Matches, taking 297 wickets, the most by any spinner to have played for England. He was always a nemesis of Australia and bowled England to victory on many occasions. Vale Deadly.

He needed to crack the shits with himself. He was dreadful. The worst performance of his career.

That's interesting because the defensive efforts were pretty much non-existent during the first quarter and didn't improve. Perhaps Voss needed to give the boys a rocket. If we play like that against GWS we will be lucky to be within 10 goals at the final siren.

Gayle's knock was sensational but Sobers' was even better imo. I remember that during the Sobers knock there were 2 fielders, maybe 15 metres apart, one just forward of point and the other just backward and Sobers was constantly cutting Lillee for 4 runs between the two fielders and they hardly...

Eagles getting reamed by the umpires.

The MRO needs to refer this hit directly to the Tribunal because it will only get 1 week. The only way Pickett will change is if the Tribunal gives him 6 weeks.

A fantastic partnership was The Saints, Chris Bailey and Ed Kuepper. After Ed left, Chris wrote most of the "Casablanca" album (except 1 song in which he was a co-writer). This album, along with the early Saints albums, are absolute classics.

It would be much better if they had "wham bam Thank you ma'am" from "Suffragette City".

I'm happy to go with Voges' and an unchanged line-up. They've done the job so backing them in is the right move.

The Stooges last gig on 9th February 1974 recorded for posterity on the iconic album "Metallic K.O." in Detroit, Michigan. The album was released in 1976 and then later an extra live performance, at the same venue, on 6th October 1973 was made available on "Metallic K.O. x 2". I would have...

I hope the brains trust in the Australian team noticed Trav's poor play ducking the bouncer when he left his bat up like a periscope. I remember Doug Walters doing the same (I think it was 1970-71 Ashes) and the ball hitting the bat and the catch taken in the gully.

It doesn't work and yet we keep doing it. The very definition of insanity.
