    Kuhnemann over Boland all day long in those conditions, suspect Starc at most would bowl 10-13 overs and Webster 2-4 overs seam up out of the 90 in a day so that’s only around 15 overs of non-spin being bowled in a day. Suspect Lyon will come on after 5 overs with either Murphy or Kuhnemann on...

    I honestly believe they’ve taken him because they are apparently randomly playing a one off ODI at the end of the series and have some f**ked up obsession with picking him in ODI cricket despite him averaging 40 and being absolutely pumped at about 10 an over in the recent ODI’s against England...

    Usual Sri Lanka stuff; security, local politics, qualifying as a Test standard facility and most likely members of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board probably having their fingers in the pie in that particular stadiums management/profits.

    Will be a different pitch for each Test but the pitches will be like late day 4 on the morning of day 1, Starc will play & probably bowl 4-5 overs to start, Webster 1 or 2 then it will be a rotation of Lyon, Murphy & Kuhnemann for the rest of the sessions. If anyone saw the New Zealand Tests...

    Why? Mightn’t be able to coach at BBL level but nothing he’s says here is too outrageous, you can challenge him on is his thoughts on Maxwell but if they needed to win this series to make the WTC final Maxwell & Handscomb would’ve definitely been in the squad. And after his last tour it’s hard...

    Given they’ve been told they need to start regenerating you can’t be that upset with the squad they’ve chosen the only real contradictory actions is they’ve not selected Maxwell & Handscomb as they’re looking to the future yet have found a way to take Sean Abbott a long for the trip who’s an...

    $60 is a ridiculous price for a cap especially one that’s just 100% thin polyester material, even with my membership voucher I thought $40 was a bit of an ask for what it is.

    Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

    Even if things don’t go well and Nicks gets sacked this year he’ll try to sweep under the rug the fact that he was the one that hired him and yet make note how it was just as well he stayed around for the extra 12 months so someone experienced & who’s been through this before could go through...

    Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

    Yes I should’ve been more specific by football I meant AFL level. Pitman would be one of the handful of former players I’d trust that would actually be knowledgeable, objective and progressive without being elitist, patronising, insular, self indulgent & overly jobs for the boys matey-matey.

    1994 - What happened?

    They actually did have one in 1994… they went up to Queensland… it bore similar fruits to the next pre-season camp in Queensland 24 years later.

    What would the odds be of Rucciuto not being apparently ‘co-opted’ by the board to be there for another 12-months and over staying his already over-served time on the board? Typical Rooch writing to just randomly toss up Shaun Rehn’s name there at the end of the article, his old Ruck-Partner...

    Lots of ifs & buts throughout the whole series but the Aussie selectors would’ve been thanking their lucky stars the pitch turned out to be what it was this match as it means no one ends up asking why the hell again like in previous last Tests of a series they again took in a frontline bowler...

    While there was probably a bit too much in the track and the Australian batters didn’t handle it well either & the Bumrah factor missing helped it still shows your best chance to beat India these days in red ball cricket when you’re playing at home is with seeming green top pitches, South Africa...

    Either way this is a perfect result for Indian fans, they always need something to bitch and moan about and to play the victim, it will be Australia only winning because Bumrah broke down and that Australia doctored the pitch so we can never whine about them doctoring their pitches and then...

    I think it’s fine in his infancy as a test player and given the situations he’s found himself in you can maybe excuse it. I just find it really weird he has never played any Sheffield Shield innings in this manner he’s just switched personalities to the player he is at that level which is the...

    Australia waited too long to put all the men back on the boundary to Pant, should’ve been back straight away they are like slip fielders for Pant in this mood where he wants to belt everything.

    Do wonder when bowling Slug to Pant becomes a bit irresponsible from Cummins, shouldn’t have been bowling this over

    Bullshit, no keeper is taking that, only hope was it rebounding off him higher or missing him and Smith taking a freakish catch.
