Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

[RookiePick]

He's damn good, but two points I would make -

1. He's not particularly economical. That's fine if you are after a wicket-taking strike spinner, but not if you need a bowler to held up an end for 25 overs.

2. He's highly specialised for the WACA. He uses bounce very very well. Take him to the subcontinent and let's see how he goes on low slow turners.

Not sure about that. Corey spent 15 days at a specialist spin camp in India in 2022 before our summer. Seems to coincide with him taking a big step forward in his development. Maybe he will kill it over there?

He's taken 8x4 wicket hauls in 44 FC innings. That's almost 1 in 5 innings he is having a big say.

Not quite 27yo. Not quite a baby as spinners go but still in his development adolescence IMO.

Has a career economy rate of 3.01.
Nathan Lyon is 2.93.
Graeme Swann's is 2.98.

The Chappells managed it. One of those 4 centuries was a double to Greg. Fair game boys

Only done twice before

The tally of shield titles since 1977/78 when the six team system began with the introduction of Tasmania, arguably the first time it was truly a national competition.

New South Wales: 11
Queensland: 9
South Australia: 2
Tasmania: 3
Victoria: 10
Western Australia: 12

So three years ago we were level with Queensland, one behind Victoria and two behind NSW

We’re now an outright leader

Nice

You know what really sticks in my craw? We've lost two Shield finals at home but never won one away. I feel like the ledger needs to be squared.

 

[THE A5]

With the emergence of some kids and the core of our seniors being in their prime, we could easily add a few more to that tally

I think Dazzler just Dazzlered himself.

Most Shield titles
Most one-day titles
Most T20 titles
All with about 10% of the national population

We're the domestic equivalent of Australia. NSW are India, Victoria are England.

South Australia are Pakistan

Canberra are Kenya

Why RCB had to become half blue. I swear 70% of the IPL teams are blue now

 

[THE A5]

South Australia are Pakistan

Had a 70 year head start on us and now trail the shield by 5. They have been so bad for so long

I'd rather SRH wore blue instead of their new kit to be fair.

Since when did 12 - 2 = 5?

 

[THE A5]

Since when did 12 - 2 = 5?

I mean from the full inception of the shield not since when tassie joined

Edit: hence the 70 year head start

Still better than 2023-24 BBL

I think Dazzler just Dalzzlered himself.

In addition to us winning the most in that times since 1977/78, we've also never finished 6th and the last time we finished last was in 1963-64 and it was when it was a 5 team format.

 

[Dazzler9]

Day/night Test for the women, the first at the G since 1949.
A full 5 Test series against India, first since 91/92.
Perth to kick off the series, as per the preference of the players.

MCG to host historic day-night Women's Ashes Test, with Perth kicking off five-game Border-Gavaskar series

Australia's all-conquering women's team will face England in a day-night Test at the MCG as part of their multi-format Ashes series in the 2024/25 summer of cricket.

queenslander complaining the first test should be at the gabba. Biggest reason I feel like it isn’t there is due to Ibdia’srecent record there. Honestly don’t see a late nov test in perth being a win
