The upshot was that Zoehrer wasn't even a particularly good keeper.

Much like Inglis.

Careful now .

They showed the game between Sri Lanka and the West Indies at the Gabba in 1996 when Murali was no balled for throwing when he bowled a leg spinner.

I recall Jeffrey Dujon being asked who the best keeper in world cricket was (besides himself) and answering Zoehrer...this was while Healy was keeping for Australia.

Of course

 

[JackOutback]

Of course

It's true that I recall it

I can't find the reference though, given this was the late '80s, early '90s and pre internet. Can't recall if it was a newspaper story, autobiography or something else.

Others I've spoken to disagreed - quite strongly.

One outright called him 'Iron Gloves'.

Id pay big bucks for the green pine lime Aus A kit from 94/95

I've had the same problem.

With retro sportswear all the rage these days, CA are missing a trick by not re-releasing some of these classic designs.

Reckon a 94/95 or even a 99 strip would sell better than our current ODI/T20 outfit.

As long as they don't do this, where the colours are wrong and the logo is in the wrong spot and it looks terrible.

because I can't be bothered creating a new thread:

• MCG Boxing Day and SCG New Year's Tests locked in until the 2030-31 season.
  
  
• Adelaide Oval will host December pre-Christmas Tests until the 2030-31 season, however some may be played during the day.
  
  
• Perth's Optus Stadium to host the first Test of the next three summers.
  
  
• Brisbane's Gabba only locked in until the end of the 2025-26 season, with next year's Ashes Test potentially its last.

The last point is interesting.

I wouldn't imagine Brisbane would be pushed into 6th on the list, until Mac Point stadium is ready to go in around 2028/29.
Or would they move the Queensland test down to the GC?

 

[Cleavy]

Hobart??

 

[GeelongFTW]

Hobart??

Yes please. Was really happy to see us get a ashes test in covid times. Would love to get consistent games.

“We are going to festivalise cricket,” he (Victorian Tourism, Sport and Major Events minister Steve Dimopoulos) said.

“...it is something extraordinarily different, and especially than what we’ve done previously.

“We’re going to raise the show so high in terms of live music and food and festival zones and fan zones and community outreach.

“Come and try activities. This will be like the Australian Open festival of cricket over the next seven years.”

is this what we want???

Sounds like a politician trying way too hard at sideshows rather than sticking to the engaging cricket matches that fans care about.

Not surprised though in this t20 era of bright lights, dancers and fireworks.

I think if you were doing a "T20 gather round" it would make more sense, compared to a Test match.

Exactly

They've tried that with the WBBL where they'll have multiple teams playing from the same ground over a weekend to bring that sort of vibe

But don't see how it works with a test match

 

[Cmarsh]

Problem with a gather round though is that BBL fans don't travel outside their city or state to watch BBL.

Also there will be a 150th anniversary Test match against England at the MCG in March 2027

It seems to get people along to the Adelaide tests.
