Now just one goal off sharing the all time Eagles goalkicking record with Suma and two off holding it on his own. Jack Darling also overtook Lynch this match to become our fifth highest ever goalscorer. # Player Games Goals 1. Peter Sumich 150 514 2. Josh...

First post

CA really standing up for its players.

Well yeah this is happening in September. Three Twenty20 internationals to be held in Lahore. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/aug/21/paul-collingwood-world-xi-pakistan-cricket Andy Flower is going to be the coach. Paul Collingwood, Hashim Amla and Imran Tahir going to be in the squad...

I have my doubts about whether or not he should go on but he's always been one of my favourite Eagles and its nice to see him reach the 400 mark. # Player Games Goals 1. Peter Sumich 150 514 2. Josh Kennedy 177 476 3. Mark LeCras 190 400...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/1105347.html Great news.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2016-17/content/story/1086252.html Out for the rest of the series. I guess its sort of fitting that with Cummins and Pattinson finally fit and bowling well that one of our fit quicks would break down. So frustrating. Wouldn't put it past CA to...

So where do people here rank Pune 2017 in Australian test victories? I'm too young to remember use knocking off the Windies in 1995 so I'd have to say that personally this is the best test win by Australia I can remember. It had everything. Strong Indian side that had gone 19 tests or...

Is the telecast working for everyone else?

Due to be named at the conclusion of the current test. Most of the players pick themselves but a few questions remain. Chris Lynn's form with the bat in the BBL is impossible to ignore so he needs ago but we should also persist with Travis Head. Bailey and Finch are the two batsmen in the...

So word is that Hilton Cartwright is going to come in for Mad Dog? Well he'd offer more with the bat and we don't want to bowl Starc and Hazlewood into the ground.

Shaun Marsh broke his finger again on day 1 so is out. Burns has come to open and Ferguson has finally been added to the squad. I would prefer Khawaja and Warner to open with Burns in at 6 but in any case its time to stop unbalancing our side and play both Burns and Ferguson.

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/ireland-set-for-test-status-and-a-date-at-lords-vdzxvpdtg The rejection of a formal two division system is disappointing but this is a good step forward for world cricket.

Anyone interested in a Pokemon draft league? Would be run using Pokemon Showdown. https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/ Basically it will be a snake order draft for the signups. Each player will draft 10 Pokemon. Megas cannot be drafted but if you draft Charizard you could if you want to make it...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/1043895.html Well I do think it's a good move. Got to spread more of the limited overs internationals outside the capitals when possible in my opinion.

Probably an interesting exercise to start considering now. How much should runs scored on Australian wickets against South Africa and Pakistan (both teams with good attacks including a world class spinner in Pakistan's case) be considered? Time for a horse for courses policy? Burns might not...

The Battle of the Somme started 100 years ago to this day. I think it's a pretty important anniversary to mark.

Kicked 7 today which gets him up to 389 with Phil Matera. Also kicked 11 goals for Carlton so has the big quadruple century as well

Squads were announced earlier this week. We're playing two first class games against South Africa, a quad List A series with SA A, National Performance Squad and a yet to be determined National A team and then two more first class matches against the yet to be determined National A team. I...

For better or worse the Australian selectors believe we need to select an allrounder in the test team to go with the four specialist bowlers. And while we all agree that Mitch Marsh is a talented prospect who could develop into a test class player it's fair to say that if it weren't for the...

Pretty similar to the other thread but for bowling instead. I actually feel that this also really illustrates just how many games a lot of our shield bowlers miss and the number of players in that 13-16 shield match range which basically means they have only played half of the games in this...

As some might know I've been slowly working on building my own datebase for shield matches in my spare time. It's still very much WIP. As we know selectors generally don't like to pick a player based on just one good season and you need to put a few good seasons together to get up the pecking...

25 players set to be announced in April. Given that all of Clarke/Johnson/Watson/Haddin/Harris and Rogers will not be contracted we're going to have a lot of changes. Will be quite interesting to see what young players get contracts. I'd expect Wade to keep his contract as the ODI keeper and...

This is a game for 35 players. Day will run from 9.00 AM Melbourne time (pretty sure you campaigners still have daylight savings until 7.30 PM Melbourne time. Night will run from 7.30 PM to Midnight Melbourne Time. In the event of a tied lynch vote there will be a coin toss. Failure to vote three...

Cricket Australia have intervened and made Joel Paris rest the first two days to let Coulter-Nile get some bowling fitness and then will remove Coulter-Nile and let Paris play. Coulter-Nile didn't bowl enough in the first two days so they intervened and got him to bowl more today. So WA will...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/975875.html Was a decent enough bowler, especially in England, when he wasn't bowling round arm. Kind of sad that he ended up 1 short of the 100 but obviously selecting a guy just to get him a milestone would have been stupid and he didn't...

Well many here would be very happy to know that Cameron Bancroft is having a 5 game stint at the start of the season for Gloucestershire while Klinger is unavailable. http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2016/content/story/973047.html # Player County Division...
