I didn’t know until now but there has been a woman on the five fa honour board for 90 years. I don’t think those times could be described remotely as woke. So it has always been lack of opportunity on the ground, not the scope of the boards. Surname and initials and match stats and that’s all...
Yeah, 11 something on day 1 and 12 something on day 2 so cumulative attendance. Feels like a small -if enthusiastic - crowd at the MCG, but more in two days than any other test has drawn over four or five days. Appreciate the ambition and they should get decent crowds over the weekend - and as...
Listened to the Jaz Ferguson interview on hashtag kangaroos and loved it - does not waste time on false modesty about how good the team was and very determined to back up next season.
That was fascinating - I haven’t watched a game since the DLS got so sophisticated with the ball by ball calculations, and it added to the tension and drama. Loved Grace Harris giving no sympathy - England ran off when they were ahead of the required rate and the rain was the same as when they...
Heard Gavaskar on the radio today regretting that there’s such a long break before the next tests that underperformers from the last two series will probably survive.
We don’t know what the medical issue is but it would be interesting if it had anything to do with being overbowled, after it took them until the last test to give him good support. Especially interesting to consider workload after Cummins was criticised for leaving the Melbourne declaration...
The trick was missed earlier in the day - by the time a declaration was an option, Australia didn’t have enough runs on the board to risk it. Two or three overs weren’t worth it.
Same penalty as Siraj got for the Head send off. I’d have thought physically connecting with an opposition player was at least worth more demerits so Kohli would be suspended if he stepped over the line again, but I guess it’s something that the referee didn’t agree it was equal blame or all the...
I remember hearing at the time that we were hoping Gatt would fill that role with her speed and skills, and she really has come on faster than I expected. Love Kashy and it’s great to see her come to games but it’s all worked out ok for everyone.
