    Which is more annoying?

    It was incredibly annoying yesterday having to watch the Dave Warner OLED ad all day after his dreadful dismissal in the first over. That **** should be banned from airing for the rest of the day if he gets out for less than a century.

    Pitch today. Curator says there'll be nothing in it for the spin bowlers.

    Australian Domestic Season 2016/17

    Dave approves.

    What do you find to be the most exciting aspect of a test match?

    Most exciting for me is seeing batsmen who rarely bowl thrown the ball to roll the arm over for a few overs. I just love the idea that guys who would never come close to making a first or second grade squad as a bowler are called upon to bowl at an international level in the hopes of jagging a...

    Australian Test Selection 2016/2017

    Time to move on from Siddle. He's run in all day for many years, but he really isn't a good enough bowler to be risking his back problems flaring up in tests anymore. It seems odd that Sayers isn't getting a look-in when his record is better than Mennie's. But either way it's time to find...

    It was pleasing to see an Aussie pitch with genuine cracks in it from day one that opened up as much as they did. Let's hope this continues.

    I was going to say as long as Warner's in Australia will have a chance.... but then I remembered that game in Hobart vs NZ where he carried his bat in the 4th innings for a century and we still lost.

    It's hard to believe there is a team performing worse than Qld in this round.

    Thing is, Smith didn't even get his front leg fully extended. Ball caught his pad quicker than he expected imo.

    I thought Warne was just making that up in commentary in the first over today.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

    It struck me today that for all the talk from certain ex-players (Warne, Lehmann, Jones) that test cricket is becoming boring and change is needed, a large part of the problem - in Australia at least - is the lack of Lawry and Greig in commentary. When South Africa were falling like flies in...

    Pietersen was awful, had to mute it. Can someone tell him it's okay to have a few seconds of silence between balls, and to ditch the "Mr" business. Looks like they're rotating commentators every 5 overs rather than the usual half hour.

    Less than half an hour in and we can already mark this one off (×) Warne's 99 getting mentioned at the WACA test.

    I've heard Ch 9 are dropping back to just two commentators at a time instead of 3 per stint as it's been for the past few summers.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

    Sounds like another boring road might be on the cards at the WACA. If so, it only further confirms that moving big tests to the new stadium is the right move.

    Australian Domestic Season 2016/17

    Nice to see Burns bowl an over. Selectors will probably pull him out of the game now for bowling more than his scheduled allotment.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    No Cookies | The Courier Mail "The day Kerry Packer tore apart Nine anchor Mark Nicholas" (as well as Healy & Taylor) There've been quite a few cricket stories bandied around in the past week or so. Feels more interesting than the buildup to the first test.

    Worst Umpiring

    Russell Tiffin sticks in my mind as the worst I've seen, in Australia in the early 00's. I think one of his poor decisions is up on youtube somewhere.
