New Zealand play India in a T20 tomorrow. They are just meaningless games that raise revenue through the sale of TV rights. No wonder the players get jaded.

I’ve been to Travy Heads home. He’s anything but jaded sitting in his infinity pool watching the sun set over the whole of Adelaide. Cameron Green is what 24? He’s about to be offered 2mil for 10 weeks work.

You'll be back.

Yeah in a month when the test summer starts or have they been moved to may?

I know that the Perth test starts at 10:20am their time on 30 November. Why 10:20 I can't answer.

I mean really, when you think about it;
1. Ashes, here or there
2. India ( see above )


3. South Africa - ditto
4. New Zealand - ditto

5. 50 over World Cup - wherever


6. Everything else............

It is pretty much just tests for me now. I used to catch the odd shield match or tour fixture.

Jaded might not be the right word but the above is the reason why players move on so quick with what looks like to be so little care in the world when the national team fails in big tournaments. They know there's another game and another big payday just around the corner.

Not Trav. He loves playing cricket and cherishes every chance he gets. As his old man said, good thing he can play cricket cause he’s dumb as ****.

I love the commentary these days: Never easy chasing a score under 300....

Starc on fire in Sydney. Pom's 2 / 2.

When he gets them on spot with that loping run and fast arm action it really is a thing of beauty.

Compare to M. Johnson, just vicious, scary lethal hand grenades.

Glad l watch from the stands / couch.

Mitch was a ****ing beast at his peak. Just a brutal fast bowler.

Must admit, I like this version of Smith's batting. The twitches, fidgetting, exaggerated leaves, loud calling made watching him very difficult.

The Perth Scorchers’ grand final hero Laurie Evans has had his contract terminated by the club after testing positive to a banned substance, despite the import denying any wrongdoing.

The Scorchers say they are a “disappointed” by Evans’ test result and reached a mutual agreement to end his deal, but the import claims he was shocked by the test and was unaware how he recorded a positive result.”

First session is 1020 - 1220
Second session is 1300 - 1500

In other words, the second session finishes at 6pm eastern.

The Perth test starts at 10.20 so Channel Seven can run the news at 6pm into Sydney and Melbourne.

Aussie clinic at the G. Quality stuff.

Why would you bring smith in and not one of the hitters

Why did you make me look? That wicket is 100% down to you. You know I am almost as much of a jinx as Hoju.

It's OK. I am not watching another ball.

Bloody hell. I can't even check the score on Crickinfo!

 

[gokangas]

353 off 48 - should be enough.
