Pitch was meant to be a bit more lively (MacGill only bowled 8 overs in the day) than we've seen for the rest of the season. The first 14 balls of the day were all let go. After 11 overs the WA bats only hit 24 deliveries. (bowling too wide) NSW did not make use of the conditions...

From the Collins dictionary. Cheat: to act dishonestly to gain profit or advantage. Dravid is a cheat. He broke the laws and code of conduct to get the ball to swing to gain advantage. He is a cheat. Funny how the Pakistani's were found to be scratching the surface of the ball after...

Ganguly lost all chance of ever being respected when during the last tour of India when walking off he gave the few Australian supporters at the ground the bird. From the captain with no recriminations. Of course had Warne done that he would have been shot. There's also the shirt waving...

Dravid was charged under the ICC Code of Conduct, specifically clause 2.10. Clause 2.10 refers to: "Changing the condition of the ball in breach of Law 42.3 as read with Standard Test Match and ODI Playing Conditions clause 42.1 (this supplements and does not replace the provisions of...

Actually the selectors had little choice. While Campbell was the incumbent he has done nothing this year. In fact Luke Ronchi (excellent player and will fight with Crostlewaite (spelling?) to replace Gilchrist in 3 or four years) should replace him this season. Seccombe is a good player but...

So why all the fuss about Chucking. Hell Murali does it so everyone else should? Don't penalise people and they continue to do it. A frieid of mine played club cricket with a Kent and English batsman. He was showing the club cricketers how the ball really swings with lollies rubbed on the...

Shivlal Yadav (Offie from the 80's and current team manager) said that Dravid was innocent and it was inadventant. As soon as he felt something hard on the ball he stopped. And I'm going to open up in the next ODI. Cheating of the highest order and they get away with it. The ICC are...

This is cheating at it's lowest. No wonder they swing the ball. I would ping Gan(no)Goolies with a four match ban. Clive Lloyd obviously saw it. He has to do something about it. Obviously Shane went wrong by taking the tablets rather than cheating by polishing the ball with them!!

We need a ruckman in either draft. There are only three on the list all up. Sandilands, Simmonds and J-Lo. None of the KPP's can really back up either. An injury to two and we'd be stuffed. Unfortunately I can't see anyone who stand out as being a chance.

From Cricinfo Nasser Hussain has been accused of verbally abusing Muttiah Muralitharan during the morning session at Kandy. The Sri Lanka team management filed an official complaint to Clive Lloyd, the match referee, during the afternoon. Lloyd is expected to make a statement later today...

Mail already has his baggy green stored in his paper bag at home!

Quite amazing if you consider the f/s combinations that other countries have had (Pollocks, Stewarts, Hadlees, Cairns, Manjrekars, Mankads, Armanaths etc.) I think It will be interesting the next Australian combo, I think Dan Marsh has missed out. That leaves Michael Clark and Shaun Marsh as...

It's a very poor decision by Rchmond and spells out what is wrong with drafting kids at 17 and pulling out of their culture and moving them to a new city with no family support (which is of greater significance that in most non-indiginous cultures). If he wasn't putting in the effort required...

He was only getting 20+ possessions 10 marks playing for West Perth seniors. Obviously can't play as he didn't do well in the TAC Cup. I'd leave him for the second round!! Don't know why anyone would take into account that he's already played seniors when heplayed at the 18's (Although he...

Doesn't the AFL (all 16 clubds fund the TAC) but the WAFC (West Coast and a bit of Freo) fund the WAFL colts. That doesn'y seem fair considering many draftees from WA end up all over Australia. But agian back to the point last top 20 WA flop would be Brandon Hill in 1998. Yet TAC...

But do the AFL clubs underrate WAFL draftees. From last year Nicoski, Beeck, Johns and Gilmore are all listed rookie players, after being overlooked at the draft. Smith, Dodd & Parker are still rookie listed. That makes 5 at lest with a future, especially listening to Essendon fans!! The...

Hogg didn't play for two reasons. The indians like wrist spin bowled Australian Style. The probability of bowling second with the dew meant he would be inneffective at night (hard to control) - hence the two finger spinners. Notice India only had finger spinners. Also use the faster...

The hardest forward line to match up on is the one that beats you. The easiest is the one you beat. Simple.

But the tradition of Australian Football is that of the second chance. In the late 1800's the minor premiers always had the right of challange, which is where the double chance evolved from in developing the Page and subsequently the McIntyre systems. Also while we have such a unfair draw...

In the NFL the best 4 teams skip the first week and there are 12 teams in the playoffs. Hardly a realistic comparison. Plus the team with the better record will play at home until the superbowl. Hardly a fair comparison. Of course this would leave you with three weeks of finals if you kept...

I find the thoughts on Bradley being a athlete rather than a footballer interesting. I would have him more of a Daniel Bandy that plays footy rather than an athlete who doesn't. Showed some real football ability in the WAFL finals.

1. How is Bevan going to hit a really big score batting at 6? he only time he gets decent time at the crease is when Australia are 4 for not many. Frustrating to watch but when you look at the result afterwards yoiu think, gee he did a bloody good job. Remember his 74* v Eng and 56 v NZ that...

But they are already!

How these stories happen. Someone asks Hayden an innocent question such as What do you think about Dravid? He answers like we all would. Good record, a bit slow, technically correct, needs to prove himself in Australia on the next tour if he's going to be taken seriously as a great batsman...

90 to win off 15 with 5 left was anyones game. Harsh on JL to say WA had no chance. If their bowlers good enough WA could have won, Katich and Waugh were too good. (Although name a bowling attack in the world that could have done much better!!). As for taking Thorp off after one over, he...
