I don't believe I've seen one of these around, so I may as well start: AUSTRALIA: Khawaja (8) - A lynchpin throughout the series. His vigils underlaid our two Ashes victories. Up-and-down in the field, but still much better than he used to be. Warner (4) - He tried hard, but his eye's going...

It looks increasingly likely that the LNP will win a minority if nothing else, which seemed highly improbable at the start of the day. This is IMO an achievement that surpasses even Keating's way back when. So the operative question is, what will a Scott Morrison led government accomplish? The...

I haven't seen a thread about this, so I think that I'll create one. Apparently news has been making the rounds on other websites that a European league, consisting of 16 teams, wish to breakaway from the UEFA Champions League and maybe even their own national associations to play in a special...

I thought I'd make one of these, seeing how nobody else has yet... Australia David Warner: 8 - Certainly more circumspect than his 2013/14 counterpart, and didn't get as much chance to pad his tally either. While he contributed usefully during the series, including with a match-clinching 87*...

As I said in the match thread, while Australia performed much better than expected, I thought it would be prudent to make an extended post analysing this series, what we did right, what we did wrong, and the possible implications going forward. What we did right: Preparation/Strategy: There is...

Yet again, our batsmen fell in a heap to some good bowling - but there's no way that the pitch was that bad, as Smith and Amla later showed. What bothers me is why our batting lineup has tended to collapse like that at crunch times during a series in recent years. It happened during various...

Having watched this side over the last few Tests, I've begun to wonder about the similarities between this side and Mark Taylor's side circa 1994/95 (i.e - his captaincy induction). Of course, there are some important differences: there is no Shane Warne in our current side, our current...

Do you guys remember Ansett? When Ansett was first formed, they placed customer service first. Reg Ansett knew that this was the way to conduct an airline. Over time though, the airline got into the hands of business-school types who were more interested in making a profit than silly...

I've heard much about the West Indian bowling attack. Here is my order: 1) Marshall 2) Ambrose (around McGrath's level, but he never went to India) 3) Garner (around the same level as Ambrose and McGrath) 4) Holding (around Lillee's skill level, but Lillee is a bit overrated) 5) Croft (retired...

The Cult. Hmm...I thought that I'd make a thread on these fellows, for they appear to be one of those bands that were quite popular in their day (mid-to-late 80's), but are almost completely forgotten now. I don't see why - it's not like they were some sub-standard Winger-esque glam metal band...
