    Which Cricketers do you dislike?

    Kevin Pietersen. As I kid I had a strong dislike for Pat Symcox and Craig McMillan. It's hard picking from the current lot of players because the Australians are the only blokes that are unlikeable on a personal level. Maybe Gary Ballance for being ugly to watch, or Joe Denly for his painfully...

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    Just watched the highlights of Monday night's game. Villa were brilliant. I can't see them playing anything other than Premier League next season. In other news, I'm genuinely torn on my Fantasy captain this weekend. Vardy, Mane, Abraham or Pulisic?

    Is the current Australian batting order stronger than that of the lost generation?

    If you were picking a tour squad... J. Cox M. Di Venuto M. Love B. Hodge S. Law M. Bevan T. Moody D. Berry A. Bichel C. Miller A. Dale --- J. Siddons J. Dawes J. Angel J. Maher W. Seccombe B. McGain The second spinner spot was the hardest. Casson, Krejza, Hauritz, Doherty and Robertson all...

    *Official* England in New Zealand 2019

    Sibley looked much more solid than Burns in the first hour, I thought. Will be interesting how he goes long term. He appears to have that sort of Matt Renshaw technique whereby his natural arc is through the leg side, so he is strong off his pads but can't hit balls on a good length outside 4th...

    Livingstone staying fresh for the Hundred.

    WBBL season 5

    That'll teach her for not making the most of her opportunities.

    Australian test selection 2019-2020

    I think we just need to accept that India is the only country with the depth to have a proper world class batting line up at the moment. There simply aren’t 5 world class batsman that deserve selection for Australia. I can only think of one.

    Travelling to Australia to play cricket for a club whose season ends in March is not the same thing as entering as a tourist for a maximum stay of 3 months. Is my guess.

    Australian test selection 2019-2020

    Unfortunately, I think Harris keeps his place because Burns’ start to the season has been poor. With Labuschagne, Smith and Wade locked in that leaves the last batting spot to one of Pucovski, Khawaja, Head or Smarsh. They have all scored runs recently (although Khawaja hasn’t really against a...

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

    This is like watching a club game where one team is completely out of their depth and already relegated.

    Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

    Fair play to the selectors. Marnus was averaging about 34 when he was picked for the Tests in the UAE from memory.

    Why is Australia Only Playing 5 Tests this Summer?

    Great for Australian cricket fans in the UK, though.

    Turf top

    I played juniors for Valley in Brisbane (the club of the Dudgeon family) and they installed something in their nets in the mid-2000s which was meant to mimic turf (it tended to just be a bit slower and lower, rather than produce lateral movement). I'd like to think this would be decent, knowing...

    Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

    ****. Neser bowls three balls in the slot and a half-tracker to finish. Fair play to Zamps.

    Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

    Is anyone else watching the Qld v SA stream? Zampa at risk of pulling it off while Lehmann can’t get the ball of the square. Billy Stanlake with some of the worst death bowling I’ve seen.

    Highly rated by whom?

    Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

    Yes - it’s a ****ing travesty.

    Your gutsy calls for 2019

    Not gutsy opinion does not pay off. FWIW, I think The Hundred will be a huge success next year.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Buttler sublime again today batting with the tail. Keep him at 6 or 7, I reckon. England's current batting line-up should be: Burns, Sibley, Root, Stokes, Pope, Bairstow, Buttler. **** Root's wishes to bat at 4 - his biggest problem is converting 50s to 100s.
