    3rd Ashes Test England v Australia July 6-10 1930hrs @ Headingley

    Well how to piss a 100 run lead away. Fantastic first secession then negated with a crapola second secession. That was just plain dumb cricket tactics.

    Certified Legendary Thread 2nd Ashes Test England v Australia June 28-July 2 1930hrs @ Lords

    The Pommy saltiness and outrage make the victory even more enjoyable. Poms choosing when they decide to play by the spirit of the game and when they don't, oh and just how fittingly poetic, that Stuart Broad is the on field mouth piece trying to spruik the cause. Broads feigned comments, come...

    Final T20 Australia v Sri Lanka @ the MCG Sun 20 Feb 1640hrs

    For those watching the game, is it: s**t batting by AUS Good bowling by SL Both. Or a tricky wicket. Be interested in your thoughts .

    The Ashes. Fifth Test Australia v England @ Blundstone Arena, Hobart, 14-18 January 2022

    Slight correction no "b" in it. The blame = root , Joe Root.

    Cameron Green

    Cameron Green what an effort 6 overs 3/21. Three top order batsmen and then the rot started. From a 22 year old....simply WOW. The English top order facing the Green onslaught.

    Cameron Green

    And that a very good point MP as it's not always HOW many wickets did bowler X get, its pretty important to note "who he got out" and "at what point in the game' did that wicket fall.

    The Ashes, Third Test Australia v England @ The MCG 26-30 December

    Just for the laughs I would like us to pick Josh Inglis: He does well and scores a 50 + and then the Poms can enviously look on as the kid, that was born in Leeds and came to Australia 12 years ago, becomes the future Australian wicketkeeper / batsman ............... that the Poms are so lacking.

    Starc just wastes so many balls. He really is a dumb bowler.

    Cameron Green

    Patience....... grasshoppers.......patience. Very early days into his International Career and he is progressing slowly, but surely. Not too many more impressive 22 year olds playing in Australian Cricket. At this stage, he looks like being a permanent fixture in The National Team, for the...

    T20I 2021 T20 World Cup - Australia v Bangladesh 4 Nov 2021 9pm AEDT

    Will be a very happy day for me when Wade finally gets the arse and is left out of ALL Australian squads. He has been a spent force for way too long now and its not as if the selectors don't have a multiple BETTER alternatives to replace him with. Used by date was 2018 Wade is well out of code.

    2nd Test Australia v India, Dec 26 - 30 at the MCG

    Good to see a kid coming into the side that values his wicket, showed good poise and composure did Green. Innings like this will hasten his development. Pleasing sign that he can soak up pressure. As for Mr Burns .................. hope to never see him in an Australian side ever again, he has...

    Plugger35 reading your post is really testing my imagination...... " Burns struggling to bat even more than usual" you say ..... scary thought. ;)

    1st Test Australia v India, Dec 17-21 at the Adelaide Oval

    Strictly speaking no its not, but once you get into the Boys Club with in the cricketing circle its almost like a family. Call it the mates rates / inside running what ever but favouritism it most certainly is.

    1st Test Australia v India, Dec 17-21 at the Adelaide Oval

    Well surprise surprise, just got home and checked the score. Wade who has no right being in a test test contributed just 8 runs. Whilst his opening partner ( one of the most out of form batsmen in Australian Cricket) also contributed just 8 runs. Langer and Hones are a pair of gooses if they...

    2020 Women's T20 World Cup - India v Australia Final - Sun 8 March, 6pm AEDT

    Well done to the batters. Bowlers your turn now. Hell of a target to chase and if they manage the 185 needed then India will well and truly deserve the T20 WC crown.

    Marnus Labuschagne

    I love the kids fighting spirit and his resolve. He just seems to be delighted and enthusiastic to be out on the field and seems to be a great team player , gives the impression that he wants to be involved and wanting the ball to come to him. Can bat. Can bowl. Handy in the field . Lot to...

    2019 4th Ashes Test 2019 Old Trafford

    Lyon been terribly disappointing since the first test. Just wont bowl the right line. Only bowled a couple further out side got a wicket with one and the other went trough everything, yet he persists bowling to straight. He is not doing his part to hold up his end and Paine has given him way...

    RIP Abdul Qadir

    Agree ...............he was a treat to watch, he was a true master of his craft. One of the very few Pakistan cricketers I liked as a kid. Make NO mistake he was one of the Greatest Pakistan Cricketers EVER. He was as mesmerising to watch as Warne in full flight as he had opposition batsmen...

    Warner in England

    Disagree we have seen more than enough to know that he is so woefully out of touch. This is highlighted and confirmed by his s**t catching in this series . Can’t remember him dropping so many catches and being caught in a poor position to attempt the catch. It’s a pretty true indicator that...

    Day 31 Afghanistan v Pakistan @ Headingley

    The collective sphincter muscles of the English cricket following public just became rather twitchy. Adult diaper sales are about to spike in the 🇬🇧. Excellent result. :thumbsu:

    Australia v Sri Lanka; 2nd Test @ Manuka Oval Feb 1-5.

    Starc and Khawaja............ how long does this insanity last. Neither player deserves their place in the team , yet the " protect our mates mentality " continues at the selection table. Two in form and fresher players have been introduced into the team Richardson and...
