    *Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Man feeling sorry for Bell at the moment about the only man who showed some ticker. Also if Johnson bowls this well on a slow drop in wicket in Adelaide I feel for the Englishmens lives in Perth

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    Hahaha. My problem wasnt my lack of knowledge for the game. The biggest problem as catches can be pretty sharp at Gully/ 3rd Slip (my fielding spot), the problem is putting one down and shouting a Jug at the pub. Hate that...

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    you missed the whole point I was trying to make by once again just another poster calling me a dumb victorian. And I'll say it again. Test cricket is losing fans that's why there is big bash and all the bells and whistles so without the sledging and the snarling it becomes well boring to the...

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    Daemon learns to cricket

    Thats it everyone should bat how the most feel comfortable. I mean Gilchrist grip was just weird but it bloody well worked. Lara's choking of the bat worked great for him when most coach will tell you to relax your hands he gripped like he was choking someone neck. Every stance grip can change...

    Daemon learns to cricket

    Yeah at the start he had a flawed technique I agree but his flaws after years became his strengths and I remember Oh Hayden has trouble with spin then he made his sweep shot so good in India the spinners had no answer. At the start he always got out LBW then after years of practice I have never...

    **Official** Australian Domestic Season 2013/14

    I have been blown away with all the old guard playing great cricket. Marcus North and Cam White scoring runs at will and there even taking wickets. Dougie B is bowling well and looks like 3 past openers are starting to score runs in Marsh Clean and Hughes I'm lost for words this season so far.

Left hander Matty Hayden right hander Brad Hodge. But In loved the weird ness and power of Gillies that high...

    Your Best XI for players you have witnessed live.

    Yeah I have been pretty lucky. First ever ODI Viv scored 100 in 1984. But the best ODI batting display was Gilchrist 154 against Sri Lanka and after Gilly hit this huge 6 straight down the ground at the mcg about 30 rows back Arivinda Da Silva at the drinks break went over to gilly and was...

    Daemon learns to cricket

    Pretty much one of our greatest batsmen in the last 20 years to hardly play test cricket as Ponting never liked him I know this as one of my close friends brother played with him at melbourne in district great guy also. If he was in his prime now he would be our best and most gifted player.
