    *Official* Big Bash League 14 - 2024/25

    I think the fact that they made sure to get him to play one of the Aus A games despite being in the white ball squad at the same time suggests they've been interested in him for SL. Don't know if the injury break sets that back at all though.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Pretty extraordinary that it's been less than a year since the U19 World Cup. Never would have imagined Konstas would be playing this way at this level so soon while watching him there. The method may not be repeatable but full credit to him for coming up with a way to disrupt the Indian attack...

    Don't think they could come up with a worse option than Inglis opening while Marsh stays at 6.

    *Official* Women's Cricket discussion thread

    They keep bringing Darcie Brown back for the extra pace and I can't remember the last time it paid off. Also McGrath batting at 7, rarely bowling & being one of the worst fielders in the team makes her selection look increasingly questionable. I think there's a good argument for Voll and...

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Then that just raises the question of why they selected him in the first place.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    So in the year since Warner retired, they've decided that Harris, Renshaw and Bancroft aren't good enough, Smith isn't an opener, McSweeney isn't an opener, and now they're setting up Konstas to potentially prove he isn't ready yet? Who is even going to be left to open once Khawaja goes? Are...

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Renshaw's form has looked worse than Khawaja's outside of maybe one match.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Yeah but Khawaja being a leftie hasn't helped him much. And even in his current form, I'd still expect Khawaja to do better than Harris or Renshaw.

    Cherny is reporting Konstas in for McSweeney.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    I wonder if he'd have been more likely to wait around & play a farewell test in Sydney had the series been decided already by that point. Now it's guaranteed to still be a deciding test.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    I'm only going to feel annoyed at how this test played out if they stick with Marsh for the rest of the series. Being generous, I can understand if they felt too uncertain about the batting to give up his potential upside, but it's beyond clear now that they need an actual all-rounder...

    Nothing too surprising then.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Fair enough. I've been out & not watching because I thought the game was done so I assumed based on the score that they must have been trying to set this up.

    Idk, I kind of respect it. Willing to look like idiots to try force something out of a dead game.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    If India had confidence in their batting, surely they would want Australia to have to bowl again in this situation. Australia might as well treat the next innings as a bit of a free hit/practice for the next test. If the weather is good, they can still go for an unlikely win, otherwise save the...

    This is a serious overreaction. Australia have 3 bowlers and a 200 run lead in this test.

    I wonder if Cummins will change his paternity leave plans now if Haze looks unlikely for Sri Lanka.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Yeah I thought people way exaggerated the conditions in Adelaide based on the result. Looked like a pretty good pitch to me (and easier than last summer when Head just did his usual thing while everyone else struggled).

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Did they just blame Adelaide on the pink ball & fail to realise that most of the time in Aus at the moment, you need to be really patient early? How is Pant supposed to succeed if he has to keep coming in so early?
