    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    What's with your sarcasm? Does one have to justify everything? But for the sake of silencing you... here goes. We have a young, professional unit who are capable of great things (as seen in South Africa), with Freddie on the mend, Andrew Strauss starting his Test career off in fine form and...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    DO NOT WRITE OFF ENGLAND FOR THE ASHES!!! In an article on 'Cricinfo Australia', 1948 'Invincible' Neil Harvey was confident of Australia returning home undefeated. http://content.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/210813.html The current England side is amoungst the best that I have seen...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    Point taken.. I'm not disputing the fact that the Australian competition has some World Class players and is arguably the best domestic competition in the world, but how often do the likes of Adam Gilchrist, Glenn MCGrath, Shane Warne or Ricky Ponting play for their respected States? I just...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    Sheffield Shield games used to be covered by Optus and C7 but that fell through... Although I do agree with you on televising 'Shield' games I doubt that there will be too many viewers... It's hard enough to get people through the gates, if it were to be televised then the crowds would go from a...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    Spot on there lad... It is annoying how theres an AFL channel, ok..granted it is Australia and it is their national sport, but come on Rupert, show some forsight! After all, his great adversary -Kerry Packer- is doing his bit on the channel nine network! There is certainly money to be made from...

    How did this bloke play for aus a??

    I dont know how Flower leaving is a long term benefit to us, theres not doubt that he would have been an asset to us, of course that cannot be proven, but it should be a given that once you have signed a contract stick by it. We did everything in the best interests of Andrew and it would have...

    Old Shep

    Thanks Archie.... and right you are, it is Lord Harris's immortal words -also echoed by Sir Donald Bradman in his final statement on television ('Bradman 87 not out')-, certainly puts the hairs on end. Another statement I like is from Douglas Jardine in his definition of cricket "You have two...

    Old Shep

    It is with much sadness that we farewell the big man of World Cricket. At least he's said that he will still be involved in cricket in some capacity, he's earned the respect of the players and fans alike. Thanks for the memories 'Shep'.

    How did this bloke play for aus a??

    Andrew Flower betrayed us... After barely a season into his three year CONTRACT he 'pulled up stumps'. I -like many other SACA Members- was annoyed (to say the least) in what he did. He was fortunate that we released him without any legal action. We have been short of a good wicketkeeper/batsman...

    Merv Hughes As Australian Selector....... Your Having A Laugh!!!

    Must say I am amused with the inclusion of Merv Hughes as Australian selector (to replace 'Captain Grumpy' Allan Border).. Feel sorry for all those cricketers who are going to be subjected to Merv's taunts. And theres me thinking that Australia were a professional unit.........HAHAHA! "When...

    How did this bloke play for aus a??

    I can't -for the life of me- understand why Stuart MacGill was overlooked for the tour of India (2004), Hauritz himself was amazed that he was selected ahead of him. Maybe it was Stuart's mouth that got him into a bit of trouble. History will show that Australia went on the win the series...

    Should Bangladesh And Zimbabwe Be Stripped Of Their Test Status?

    YET ANOTHER MASSIVE BANGLADESH DEFEAT (AN INNINGS AND 27 RUNS) The match was over within 28 balls of the third days play. I ask the question once again... Is this good for test cricket? Does this send out the right message for the game? Will people be flocking to see them in their next test...

    Should Bangladesh And Zimbabwe Be Stripped Of Their Test Status?

    You hit the nail on the head there Stephano! Having read all statements for and against I still believe that both Bangladesh and Zimbabwe should be stripped of 'Test' status. Firstly on Zimbabwe (who have a pool of around 60 first class cricketers)... I seem to remember South Africa being...

    Should Bangladesh And Zimbabwe Be Stripped Of Their Test Status?

    I am not the first to say it... and I certainly won't be the last! DEMOTE BANGLADESH AND ZIMBABWE FROM TEST STATUS! They should both be playing first class matches against 'A' teams, County sides (and other respectable first class sides in the remaining 8 test playing countries) in order to...

    England In A Historic Victory Over The Convicts! Let it be known that we WILL win the ashes.... The Aussies are getting far too ****y and its about time that we knock them off their zimmaframes! With Freddie Flintoff and Andrew Strauss, not to mention Michael Vaughan (whom Australia had a very...
