    It was a crap decision.

    Though sandpapergate proved we played with true grit. I'm sorry about that. Though if I was truly sorry I'd delete the post.

    None of that was considered in the sandpaper penalties. They weren't even censured for behaviour leading up to the incident. It was an ugly series and there is a possibility that CA was responsible for the team's conduct if not the incident itself. Which made their penalties even more sickening...

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    How persistent was the cloud cover in this test? From reading the commentary, the new ball played pranks throughout the game while the batsman piled on runs in between. I suppose cloud have randomly appeared whenever the new ball was due, but the the difference in assistance the bowlers were...

    Yes! Couldn't put it any better. We can imagine but can't fully appreciate the exertions fast bowlers put themselves through. The faster you bowl the shorter your impact and the greater the exertion and risk of injury. Best to bowl within your limit for longer periods. It seems to be the obvious...

    You know 140k is up there as far as speed is concerned. He’d probably be slightly ahead of Cummins and Haze and not far behind Starc.

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    There are a number of issues and incidents. The selectors may well be encouraged by the Puc precedent. You can completely discard the concussion issues. It’s simply a matter of a young man batting well when there isn’t an established hierarchy of experienced players. Let’s face it. If you were...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    It is all speculative. Teams have stuffed up after winning the toss - as India recently did. Getting past all that, I've enjoyed these two Pak - Eng tests. They've been full of interest, fun to follow and the players have overcome the conditions. Any series that produces the batting of Brook...

    I haven't seen Safaraz bat and only his pudgy face on his cricinfo profile, but he's giving off Gundappa Viswanath vibes.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    As far as the toss is concerned Pakistan simply read the conditions better than England. That fact is established by the team selections. We all thought Pakistan went in a seamer light. Turns out they hardly needed him at all. Let’s say England won the toss. I think Noman and Sajid would’ve...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    Would be pretty rare for such a revamped side to comeback so well. They dropped some big names and got gold star performances from all the replacements. Doubtless winning the toss gave Pakistan an advantage but to overcome the soul taking thrashing just a week ago to this effort suggests the...

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    I think they are thinking Konstas is a test option. We’ve seen how little they think of the failed 3 when they picked Smith to open. Admittedly they may reconsider now green is out and smith back at 4. But they’ve signalled their lack of faith and if Konstas keeps impressing they might do a...

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    True, bouncy pitches pitches hasn't stopped Australia dominating at home; ever. And if you consider batting as a lucky dip an even and absorbing contest then you're welcome to it. Personally I'm not a fan of pitches that can turn bad bowling into effective bowling as worthy of merit.
