    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Dunno about that. Recently BD, Pakistan, SL and NZ have won series after being smashed. Maybe the tests prior to the revival served as some form of practice for the subsequent series. India's was a surprising loss but they have red ball game time behind them. Their batsmen do well here...

    Greatest XI for your County/State

    Note they “cheat” by picking people born in NSW and who played for NSW for NSW. Poacher states can suck it. It’s like Hampshire stealing Marshall from Barbados.

    Biggest test series upset of all time

    It could've happened again; or at least an iteration of bodyline. There wasn't an outright sanction against the tactic just a law against intimidatory bowling. If anything the tactic of targeting the man was ended by agreement as the English got a taste of their own medicine and both sides...

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    I see that post was on page 3. You must have book marked it.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Congratulations to the Kiwis. And achieved without Santner ... Continues the theme of the season where the team that had been previously reamed came back to win their next series. Good omens for India in the BGT. And a shout out to Ajaz who keeps on being counted out and you seriously have to...

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    Isn’t it great news that in response to pace friendly pitches they now make the kooka swing more. Maybe they can just load one side of the ball next.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Thats it then - mid 1980s Sydney type raggers for the BGT.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    These last few series between SL, India, Eng and Pak have been fantastic contests where the underdogs have performed brilliantly. A SL revival, Pakistan comeback and NZ have gone from doom and gloom thread to spying a famous series win.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Some commentary on here about batsmen throwing their wickets away which kind of takes away credit due to bowlers. If batsmen employ an aggressive strategy then bowlers should be praised for exploiting that aggression just as the batsmen would be if they succeeded. I think every wicket a bowler...

    For all the auditioning Marnus has done to be the fill in bowler, you'd think Webster would be a strong contender given the form he's been in over the last few seasons. He might need a Mitch Marsh injury to get in though.

    Would hope that Beau Webster is in front of McSweeney for that spot.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Would make a fat tub XI with Javed, Ranatunga and Merv.

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    Kind of indicative of our opening batting alternatives that a teenager with 6 games and a retired vet are realistic options. I'd even consider Bobby Simpson at this point.

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    I do remember and he was good. Even if McAndrew averaged say 28 I'd think it a win. The comparison with Clark and Harris is more that a player can peak and debut in his early 30s and do well. Not so much that he has to be as good as the other two.

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    He can't match Harris imo but its not a stretch to think he could be close to Clark's level.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Superb.

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    McAndrew is about Stuart Clark's age when he came good. Or Ryan Harris. He might have 3 or 4 good years left. Problem for him is the incumbents are still doing well and the fc competition strong (when they're not injured).

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    It’s a shocking effort from all of them bar Konstas. I favoured Bancroft (what a joke) but not now. All 3 should be canned. It’s between Konstas and Whiteman imo and I’m sure the latter will flum any meagre chance he has. So it’s Konstas or picking a half way decent mid order player out of the...

    If Cartwright has to check in on his family tassie could win this thing.

    Yeah but I don't respect your opinions.
