I remember when people thought Adam Voges had given up his international career when he pulled out of an ODI tour that clashed with his wedding. Then he went on to become the second greatest Test batsment ever and now people are skipping series whenever they feel like a break.

I think you're going to see a lot more of separate red ball/white ball teams playing at the same time, like the Poms recently having a ODI squad playing the Netherlands whilst the NZ test series was going on.

That only works when you are playing a minnow side, but luckily their second XI still had enough guns to get it done vs the Kiwis

Poor effort from the Test World Champs, that one.

Talk about foreshadowing… Rip Rudi. One of the best…when you saw the slow arm moving you knew you were in trouble.

Ian Chappell has just officially retired from commentary.

That is all.

But how will I hear long winded anecdotes about players from cricket in the '70s now?

Well i just discovered you can get a message from him on cameo so I’m sure he would be glad to discuss with you his love for lillee and marsh and maybe ian botham..

If you want more of the miserable pr’ck he penned this article the day Rudi died… of course it was all about himself and umpires

The umpires I admired

Looking back to the days of Douglas Sang Hue, Col Egar and Charlie Elliott

Sad fact is even though he is a miserable sod he still is streets ahead of current generation of commentators who think its all about one upmanship and stupid in jokes.

Kingy absolutely killing it in the Hundred.

She's playing so well the Vics are trying to re-claim her.

I saw an article referring to her as Victorian and may have yelled aloud "**** off, they weren't giving her a game"

What does the Hundred qualify as? Do player stats count to their T20 records or are they not counted for anything?

Yeah, they count them as T20 matches

Good, Kingy. Pad those stats.

Noticed that Jason Roy was somehow deemed a platinum draftee by the BBL. He’s in pretty poor form so hopefully the Scorchers aren’t tempted to welcome him back to the side and use the money on another spinner

 

[Carbine Chaos]

How many of the platinum players aren’t even staying for the whole tournament?

 

[Ochre]

How many of the platinum players aren’t even staying for the whole tournament?

Isn't it just Willey and 1 other who aren't signed to the SA or UAE comps ?

 

[FKASC]

More like **** thatinum

I wonder who the pencil neck was that decided a draft for international players was a good idea and something the BBL needed

It’s incredible how badly Cricket Australia have trashed what was a successful tournament into an utter cluster****

The draft allows CA to help pay the internationals more money, that's the only reason why they're doing it.

It's too little, too late though. The BBLs stuffed until they sell the teams to the IPL owners, and will in all likelihood by stuffed after that too
