    Australian Domestic Off Season 2018

    Having lived in Tassie for a decade I have a soft spot for them. What of its future. I see little lite at end of the tunnel. The Tigers were moderate last season even with George Bailey piling on the runs. They need to start producing the next Boon or Ponting. They also need to nurture some...

    Australian Domestic Off Season 2018

    Jay Lenton @53 and he has lost his state contract. Go figure. Imho opinion Sangha, Gibson, Jack Edwards and Uppal are the future for the Blues. Tho not discounting mystery spinner Arjun Nair.

    Wisden's Top 50 Under 23 Players

    Surprised so few Australians. Not not really surprised as our selectors are loathe to experiment with youth over the tried and true cricketer. Some Aussie names that should make the top list in a year or three will be David Grant, Cameron Green, Jason Sangha, Josh Philippe and Arjun Nair. You...

    Ranking the candidates for best fast/pace bowler ever: The Rankings thread

    I have to disagree vehemently here. D K Lillee is in my top 3 if not Numero Uno. Good job on this MM. Only sorry I was not here to add my list.

    Quizzes

    Why has this quizz topic not been popular. I believe everyone loves quizzes. Perhaps it needs to be better promoted so other members can locate it easily. I can not even have a stab at this as it is not a Test match. Too obscure.

    ***Official*** Australia vs New Zealand ODIs 2016/17

    How could he play at state level if there was no Shield cricket to play..injury or no injury? I was not aware he had been injured during BBL. Not long term I hope as he one of this countries best limited overs death bowlers.

    ***Official*** Australia vs New Zealand ODIs 2016/17

    That is not correct. He played the first half of the Shield and was imo one of the best performed bowlers. Not sure why he did not play in the BBL...another injury? I would have deduced that death bowling is definitely one of our weak spots in limited overs cricket. So Richardson being a...

    Really do not like the Aussie ODI kit. So drab.. no style.. typical Adidas. What happened to our predominantly Albion green kit from last year?

    Other than Boland that is a good ODI attack in my view. I am disappointed Richardson has not been picked this time...instead of the green Billy Stanlake.

    Yep very poor. This should have been played in place of the Pak series. Our test boys need all the warm up time for India they can get. Why there is no red ball cricket at this time of the year needs a looking into .

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    Good to hear from a Pom. We have good reason to criticise our selectors as I suppose you have. Swepson could be the new Warne.. that I agree with... but who is saying Wade is better than Nevill and that Lyon will spin us to victory in India? I belong to several other cricket forums and I know of...

    Smithy out of NZ tour. Tweaked an ankle in the dead rubber last nite. Precautionary I would think with India the priority. My question is who will captain the Wattlys as Warner is also out.?:unsure:

    ***Official*** Australia vs New Zealand ODIs 2016/17

    I know and I have been posting same for that time. Point is Kiwis have not had anyone since that could touch Dan.. except perhaps Sodhi who impresses me. So Kiwi cuzzies can you beat us? No Warner for us opens the door a fair way. Hazlewood should get more assistance from your decks than ours...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    I can see Hazlewood targeting Kohli the same way he targeted Amla. Hazey mentallly disintegrated the South African .. Kohli on his soil will be a tougher assignment. Starc with his unpredictability will be the danger man for the Indians. If he and Haze can get reverse swing we are in with a...

    Agree Paks were shocking and the Aussies were not that much better. Odd as the heat could not be blamed as it was a rather mild day.

    I like Waqar. Married an Aussie girl I think. Gotta say since Nicko left NEIN Waqar is about the only comm I listen to. Bout time Zampa played a match and what a difference he made. Quicks struggled on that road but his clever leggies had the Paks in all sorts. Warner rested and Khawaja dumped...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    I blame CA for spoiling his early Test career. CA rushed him into test cricket because they were looking for a new Shane Warne. Smithy just did not have the same incredible control as the "shiek". Luckily Smith has a smart head on his shorlders and realised the same by jettisoning his bowling...

    Hazlewood is on another stratosphere at the moment. He copped, from me as well, heaps of flack for an underwhelming second test year but now in his third season he is the world's best pace bowler, That is one hell of an improvement on the man who had trouble controlling the English Duke ball in...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    CA is forgetting that it was pace not spin that won us our last Indian series in 2004. Four spinners is overkill imo . Three of which are finger spinner the variety Indians love dining on. At least Swepson with his variety will provide a challenge but even the great Shane Warne was mauled in...
