    Analysis The Ashes 2025/26

    Disappointing; gotta find a long-term replacement for Lyon, thought these dead rubber tests would be a good opportunity to start on that

    Analysis The Ashes 2025/26

    Poor Archer; never seemed fit enough for tests, but did show endeavour and guts. Did wince at the newspaper write-up which said “…Archer has been one of England’s best players, taking 9 wickets…”. Yep, 1.5 wickets per innings as their fastest bowler is apparently notable as a good performance...

    It seems a bit odd… did he injure himself in that one test, or did they genuinely plan for him to only play one?

    True, but I think people underestimate how challenging the conditions were that day. Epically swirly wind, all over the place, rain… pretty challenging if you virtually never play there. But yeah, team should’ve been better, absolutely. What could’ve been… I reckon Dockers win if it was a sunny day

    Totally. In fact, it may be the best overall form of sport. Drama, flow, the battle between bat and ball…

    Folks lived in an old house in Freo for a while, tiny doorways. Good thing my brother’s only 6’6” (it made me laugh so hard to watch everyone else get through the house… finally an advantage to being the runt of the family!)

    Sam Newman catching up with Nathan Fyfe in Lake Grace

    F***, what a peanut. Van Tongeren is the f***wit who liked to spread anti-Asian rubbish, to the distress of his Indonesian dad, as I recall. Poor bugger isn’t even bright enough to know who he is himself. Capital-L loser. Anyone treating him as a serious person is about as smart as he is.

    I like Banfield. He’s flexible, and does genuinely pull out some good moments. Is the sort of guy who could totally have a blinder in a big game. OTOH, I cringe when he has time and space to make a decision… much better without it!

    Anything I have seen of Fyfe, he seems smarter than Pav. Would love to see him around the club.

    Fair enough really. Do I remember a Pom batter getting his arm broken by Jo Angel at the WACA in years past when they played WA as a warm up to another traditional thumping, preceded by the traditional optimism in the UK press?

    Ah, you missed that I was saying what I said to reinforce their point, rather than that I thought they were serious. But cool…

    Piers Morgan and the Barmy Army were saying Archer was Smith’s bunny?!? Weird.

    Analysis The Ashes 2025/26

    Archer is the bowler Smith has faced most in tests without being dismissed. Something like 222 balls from him without getting out so far. The bunny relationship is the other way around.

    Analysis The Ashes 2025/26

    Poor Archer; not only has he had a really rough trot with injuries, but he’s also now chirping Steve Smith when he’s turned from rooster into feather duster every time the game was in the balance for the first two tests. Oh dear.
