    its time to end the review system of umpiring

    It’s simple to fix. Umpires umpire and players ask for a review. As many as they like. If a batsman is given out and asks for a review, and he’s incorrect, he (and the team) are penalised an an amount of runs. Let’s say 12. If a bowler disagrees with an umpire’s call, and asks for a review...

    What is your ranking of all Country's ATG XIs?

    How does S.Pollock improve the top six or give more bowling options? In this exercise either him or Procter bat at eight and are the third quick.

    What is your ranking of all Country's ATG XIs?

    Had a bit of a spaz moment leaving Steyn out. So much flexibility here as S.Pollock could replace Faulkner if two spinners aren’t needed, but as it is it has three elite quicks, two spinners AND Kallis. Faulkner could also be replaced by another specialist bat and the team would still have 5...

    Who is Australia's Greatest Captain?

    Benaud- was innovative and well before his time Taylor- tactical genius Woodfull- so dignified, refused to sully the game by using the tactics Eng used against us. Remarkably well respected by all Chappell- union leader and gang boss.

    Only three players in test history have batted in every position from 1-11. Can you name them without googling?

    Greenidge vs Gooch

    I've long thought Gooch a little underrated. He averaged 45 as an opener against the WIs thru the 1980s. He scored more runs against the WIs in the 80s than anyone, at a higher average (of anyone to have scored more than 500 against them in the period) than anyone other than Robin Smith and...

    *Official* Australia tour of Sri Lanka 2022

    I’m late to the party here, but Carey was pretty sloppy with the gloves. Looked to be frustrating Lyon a bit. Inglis is a very good bat and by all accounts an accomplished keeper.
