It’s fantastic for cricket. The way they’re playing is exhilarating

Yep, McCullam is starting a new revolution in how Test cricket is being played. Will be interesting to see if this method holds up on sub contenental and deteriorating pitches.

Smith brings up his ton, following Marnus earlier. 5-281 is a pretty good start.

Go Sri Lanka! You're welcome.

Watching the women‘s T20 at the Commonwealth Games, Australia v India, and Thakur opening the bowling for India has 4/12 after dismissing Healey, Lanning, Mooney and McGrath. Scott Boland areas.

Amazing bowling. Aussies steadied but as I am typing they lose their sixth and that's probably game over. Inauspicious start to the Comm Games.

They didn't quite seem on when I was watching earlier. The wrong-hand stumping, Lanning pulling out of a catch, plus too many bad balls.

That said, if anyone can pull this off, it's Australia.

Good call.

Thought they were gone - the girls just never give up. Fantastic win.

Let that be a lesson to you my friend; Australia never beaten while Ash Gardner still at the crease - she's a gun

Fair call.

Just watched the women‘s bronze medal match. The psychology was fascinating. New Zealand hasn’t performed well in big tournaments for ages, did pretty well against Australia and was then able to brush off that loss and come into this match with determination and confidence. England, especially at home, expected to be in the gold medal match, were clearly pretty devastated to lose to India and miss out, and in this match never really got going with ball or bat. Kiwis cruised to victory and were delighted with bronze.

Hope everything is OK for her.

Good to see a Zimbabwe series here in Australia.

Bit of a novel experience in between playing India and two others twice a year every year!

I remember the old 2003 VB series. Undergunned, but the Zimbabweans have a crack.

BBL Draft day.

My Renegades have the 1st pick.

Russell or Livingstone please.

Livingstone rd1 - happy?
R2 - Mujeeb!!!!!

Happy. Gades batting has always been s**t and him and Muheeb can bowl spin on Marvel's slow pitch.

Not sure how many games they're available for though.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Solid series win for Aus, but good to see Zimbabwe beat Australia in Australia for the first ever time.

 

[gokangas]

Aussies close out the one day Kiwi series. Looked an unlikely win at one stage but Aussies keep finding ways to win.

Rather amazing as we go in with 10 players every game.

Finch has to go.

Some would call playing NZ in Cairns disrespectful, but I don’t, it’s entirely appropriate, in fact, it’s where they belong.

Absolute fraudulence of the highest level.
