FFS. Hating Australia is such a core part of being a NZ cricket fan. What is this **** doing to me?

he's tapped into that dale steyn space.

the current side is mostly fine tbh. it has always been the establishments around some of these teams that make me dislike them the most.

A whole new ball game: revamped Kookaburra to spice up the Ashes

This summer’s Ashes ball is vastly different to four years ago, and will do more through the air and off the pitch.

@Starfighter

This was mentioned months ago, and during the Brisbane test I pointed out there was **** all difference in the amount of swing.

Sylhet Sunrisers docked five runs for changing the condition of the ball

Ravi Bopara was bowling and seen running his fingers over the ball when the umpires stopped play to have the ball replaced

I remember when he played for the Sixers down here Lee used to get lots of reverse swing with a sixteen over old ball. When he wasn't there, nothing.

"Running his fingers over the ball"? Unless he had something on his fingers, I fail to see the problem.

Was probably on the seam.

Out of all the talented players that have underachieved, I find Dwayne Smith's record almost criminal because of how gifted he was. Started off in tests with a century against SA in Cape Town, and it was just downhill from there.

Ravi Bopara says his grip for knuckle ball was mistaken for ball-tampering

His penalty has been reduced from a three-match ban to a fine of 75% of his match fee and three demerit points

Apparently he was just adjusting his knuckle ball grip.

Even if true, a great excuse for potential shenanigans imo.

Time to give the game away.

Time to invent a new helmet that properly cushions impact to make it non concussive.

NFTs exist in the quantum realm. So pretty feasible, really.

Very talented player but knew he's always been a loose cannon with some disciplinary problems. His behaviour sounds completely reprehensible.
