I love a traditional test as much as the next guy, but there is hardly anything more entertaining than the last wicket stand where the established batsman is belting the ball around the ground (just like what Stokes was doing to us)
As well as the huge shots that the Bison has played, it's his defence that I love. Looks so confident in his defending the wicket, leaving confidently and calling early.
Just knows his slot so well.
No one could've imagined that Smith would become anywhere near the batsman he is. Ditto Head, ditto Labuschagne. A lot of these players can develop quickly given the right circumstances, and almost appear out of the blue as a talented test player. I wouldn't worry massively about Australia being...
Confirmed state funeral by the Victorian government and the Warne family. Was a formality I suppose.
Really hope it can be at the G. Would be an incredible celebration and tribute of his life.
Already been offered a state funeral from the Victorian government.
Not being massively into basketball, it really struck me how widespread the response was in mourning Kobe Bryant’s death a couple of years ago. Just the sheer shock and subsequently, the outpouring of grief and exclamation of...
Pat is doing exactly what a good captain is doing right now and protecting his players. If you want to criticise him for being 'dishonest', go for your life. Pat has no obligation to give details to the broader Australian public over the relationship between him, his coach and the players. That...
You're right, but it's not as if Langer walked into the job six months ago and the players haven't even entertained his coaching style. Clearly, it's worked in some respects, and in others failed. Four years is long enough for us, the cricketing public, to give the players a break and let them...
That's my biggest takeaway from this thread.
If a clear portion of the playing group have an issue with Langer the coach, then why keep him on? Call them 'soft' all you like, a team is not going to perform well under acrimony.
What good is having Cummins reveal all about what has transpired...
Been a while since I read KP's book in 2014, and I know it's KP, but from memory he did discuss in-depth the culture of the English changeroom and especially the bowling cartel. I believe he mostly referenced Broad, Anderson and Swann as the main culprits, who would openly berate teammates...
I would normally feel sorry for Tassie if the MCG got the 5th test over them, but we deserve it after the last two years. Life has been heckin'g shit over that period and no other state can relate to it. Hopefully CA pull through
Goes to show the impact social media has in this age. Made into an issue that is way bigger than it actually is - a consensual sexual interaction by two adults - by the mainstream media that feeds on outrage culture. Really got to feel for the bloke, stepping away from the game is a reflection...
Quite funny how almost everyone here was stating beforehand that they wouldn't take anything less than 12 month bans for both Smith and Warner, now the common consensus is that it was over the top.
Australia vice-captain opens up on stairwell incident, what triggered his 'emotional response' and how he'll approach the next Test

Australia vice-captain David Warner has broken his silence on the "vile and disgusting" personal sledge about...
