Absolutely critical to us with his presence. Even when he's well checked by his man (and others), conditions are against him he's still there bullocking, crashing the packs and following up his work hunting down the short people who dare enter his zone.
Cricinfo have their performances of the year nominees up:
Test Batting: http://www.espncricinfo.com/awards2015/content/story/954785.html

I think the test innings of the year should go to Chandimal. Yes, it was a...
First came across his work for cricinfo/The Guardian as a cricket writer, then followed his blog. Excellent football writer as well - hits the mark with all of his articles and does some pretty innovative stuff like the retrospective live blog of the 1993 state of origin. There's something about...
Whilst it was a pretty terrible game, it was good to see so many young Saints players step up addressing the groupthink that they have no decent young players. Missing a whole host of senior players, guys like Curren, Dunstan, Templeton, Hickey, Newnes and Saunders were terrific outshining...
A story of a player, not so much the game of Australian Football so not sure if it belongs here, but had never heard of it before and found it fairly interesting.

Woke up to find us on the back of The West Australian! That's something that doesn't happen every day. We are looking to take a rugby player under the alternative talent system.

Just interested to see what others are expecting from Hartlett next year? He's coming to a stage where you'd expect to be seeing him produce a bit more if he's going to be the elite player we all hope he can be.
I'm pretty optimistic. I really like the comparison between he and David Mundy -...
I'm not against having a look at Monfries, but four years.. if true, that is another horrendous decision.
Also, I reckon he might have realised he will probably start getting phased out of Essendon's forward line. They've already got Jetta and Davey for crumbing and pace and I like what I have...
How is this incompetent cretin continue to be allowed to ruin games of AFL football? The clown misses blatant freekicks then follows up two seconds later paying something that is not there.
He does this crap every single week and I know from comments on here that I am not alone. Get rid of him.
How awful was the commentary? Stop reading off your media guide and call the game. Whats the point of interviewing a players parents DURING the play?
But the "fun facts" BS that went all day was quite incredible:
Paul Stewart's girlfriend is Bernie Vince's sister
Jarrad Redden apparently...
I am sure all of us were wondering why St Kilda kicked so many goals on the weekend on the break against us. AFL Insider showed behind the goal footage for a couple of St Kilda's goals, and highlighted how our players were choosing the wrong time time go to the bench.
There was the Rhys Stanley...

Looks pretty good to me without analysing the stats...
It seems at the moment, Australia has an excess of quality young (and not so young) wicketkeepers. Admittedly some of them are predominantly batsmen, but I haven't noticed any "poor" keepers at domestic level. Would be interested to see how people rate them all and think of them. I don't think...
With Monty Panesar (unsuccessfully) trying to be allowed to play for an injury/internationls hit NSW in a shield game, it got me thinking again about allowing international players playing domestic cricket in Australia again. I am leaning towards wanting it to happen, and believe it could have...

If you have 20 minutes to waste, give this a go. Impossible to get all of them, because there is no way you can remember that much useless information. I ended up with 102 out of 174, missing some pretty big and some extremely small names...
What do people think will happen here? Lyon was extremely impressive in one innings of his six innings career and was pretty awful in the rest of the remaining five, going for plenty and not picking up wickets. Does he get persisted with in South Africa?
Beer on the other hand is percieved to...
I can't find the link again and it's probably too late to vote, but since we've been so shithouse this year Fox Sports have given us a choice of three games one of which will be replayed tonight:
Port v Adelaide 2002
Port v St Kilda prelim 2004
Port v Geelong 2007 (Round 21!)
When I last voted...
They've copped a hell of a lot from our supporters this year, and probably a fair amount of it has been deserved, but today I think they have been terrific. Pearce has run really hard today and whilst there has been quite a few burnt kicks, he's done what we've wanted to see for a long time. He...
They have been awful today. Absolutely shocking. Is this only because Buddy is out? They have so many gun players, but they haven't stood up today. We've seen them seriously challenge Geelong, but what about the other contenders? Collingwood should have no trouble with them and Carlton would...
Hey,
as the title suggests, I am not particularly good at this game. I have played probably about 10 games on rookie and haven't won yet. Closest game being a 1 point loss to the Gold Coast when I was the Bulldogs. But most games I have been slaughtered by ordinary teams ie. Richmond, Gold...
Does he deserve to come straight back in to the test team for the Sri Lanka series? He is still probably the best option, but I think we would be going in the wrong direction if we continue to pick him. Hughes or Marsh would be the logical replacement, but Ed Cowan definitely deserves to be...
Who do you think will come out and who will come in? Will Primus wield the axe after one match where we were awful for half the game, or will he show faith in our youngsters? Will O'Shea get his second game this week after having an interesting game where he was involved in the play, but made...
How much did the umpires have on Fremantle tonight? It's just horrible to watch. Credit to Brisbane for managing to stay within a kick tonight, because with all their injuries combined with the awful umpiring they have been superb. Stephen Hill is the AFL's next lovechild or something? Gets run...
Well now after tonight is over (thankyou Mr Watson), the World Cup Squad is going to be picked. How much would performances tonight count given todays game was basically billed as a WC playoff between certain players. Which players do you think destroyed their chances and which did enough to...

Now we all know Hauritz isn't a very threatening bowler, but whats the bet that he will pick up Chris Gayle now? Bollinger did it. Theres not much to be gained from trash talking another opposition player IMO.

-I know it's 20/20, but who cares that is a massive shot
-Andrew Flintoff hitting Brett Lee out of the ground at Edgbaston straight back over his head in 2005, couldn't find an individual clip of it, it's in pretty much all of the series compilations though

Hey, recently on IE every few minutes or so an error message pops up saying Runtime error 204 at ........ and when I either click OK or exit the box it shuts down all IE programs running at the time. Can anyone please help with this, I had a look on google but I got confused a bit, something...
Hey, I recently have got a digital TV, a while back one of my friends told me that VFL and SANFL games were replayed during the week. Can someone please tell me if they are still doing this?
Cheers
