Even Saints in the 80s weren't that bad; probably Fitzroy back in the mid-60s you have to go back to.

Seems they've run out of available series to show as there's been nothing new over the past couple of weeks. Goodness knows how often they've shown that 91/92 Oz v India Test series. Seems to be on once a day.

An overlooked fact of that match was less than 11.5K were at that Hawks/Cats match that day. 1985 was an awful year for crowds; lowest H&A average since 1969. There were a lot of issues with the game at the time and I reckon thuggish behaviour was seen as one, which partly explains the furore...

Serious delusion from Stokes to review that with one DRS left; at least when Shane Watson wasted reviews there were still a couple left.

Yep. This quartet have been more or less bowling together for 7 years and they've only been part of one overseas winning Test series. Plus they played in two losing home series to India. Just seems to be comment of classic NZ intimidated by Oz mindset.

"It's been Australia's day you have to say." Some perceptive commentary there.

Not even sure he would have made his crease regardless; bad run to take under any circumstances.

Might take extra 30 by stumps to finish off the Test tonight.

At least England can compete at home with Australia; NZ been embarrassing home and away for 30 years now.

Literally LOL''d at that. Today threatens to be a high watermark of NZ ineptitude on Tests v Oz over the last 30 years, and that's saying something.

Why did they have a deep mid-on for final delivery when Green was facing?

Feels like NZ are waiting for the 3rd new ball.

Southee's been all downhill against Australia since he took 3 wickets in his debut opening spell against them at the Gabba in 2008.

NZ being demoralised and humiliated against Australia in international cricket... such a reliable provider over the past 30 years.

Good grief, NZ comms suggesting (hoping?) that Oz should declare. How embarrassing.

I guess it would have its fans but old BBL matches holds no interest for me. Would rather see old one-day domestic matches if they're not going to show international cricket all the time.

Yeah, was pretty big deal if I recall correctly. It was effectively the first Champions Trophy tournament with every Test playing nation taking part. Crazy amount of ODIS played that summer; even though Oz didn't make the semis of that tournament they still played 16 ODIs I think.

That's a pretty amazing oversight about Lew Evans, you'd think somebody would've picked it up over the decades at the AFL.

I remember hearing him regularly when used to listen to 3AW breakfast back in the 90s. Thought he sounded elderly back then so surprised he lived this long tbh.

Highly enjoying the channel. Saw highlights of an Oz v WI ODI at the SCG from 1991/92 that I hadn't seen any footage of anywhere since watching it live on TV at the time.

Good news for all cricket fans who didn't want to miss out on the new Australian version of Tipping Point.

Australia chased down this target even quicker than when they beat America (7.3 overs) in the 2004 Champions Trophy. But credit where it's due, the Windies did manage to bat one delivery longer than the USA did that match.

I was going to travel down to Canberra for a few days and go to this match but it fell through Was that against Australia A? Think it was during the 2000s.

I think this will be 20 ODI losses in a row for the WI v Australia in Australia; surely that has to be a record for any country against another in any format.

Especially as he hasn't exactly lacked options to voice his opinions in the media for the past 3 decades.

Record 3rd wicket ODI partnership for Australia against West Indies. Highest ever ODI partnership by Australia v West Indies at the MCG.

18th consecutive home ODI win for Australia over the West Indies coming up. Very little sign tonight that's going to end this series.

Best thing for the West Indies was Green taking the strike for a couple of overs; helped slow momentum and perhaps led to Inglis get frustrated.

Walsh with his momentum-killing innings and running out Carty probably ended any chance West Indies had of winning this match.

Highest ever 5th wicket ODI partnership for the West Indies at the MCG.
