A Brisbane Lions and Chelsea man forever.

I've always loved listening to cricket on the radio. I grew up in England in the 70s and just lived for the Test Matches…
Following the second Test between India and England, the so-called experts – almost to a man (and the occasional woman) – seemed to think…
First up, congratulations to both sides for an absolutely wonderful Test Series. It received a tremendous amount of coverage over here in the locked-down…
I've thought long and hard about whether to post my thoughts but this whole Will Pucovski situation troubles me greatly. I woke up the…
I posted in December 2020 about Will and his problems with concussion. I was shouted down by many as not knowing what I’m talking about. Here we are again. If Will won’t retire himself he should be retired. It’s as simple as that really. It’s sad but if this situation is allowed to carry on, it can only end in tragedy.

Why do I feel like a David Warner autobiography is coming our way soon. Mrs Warner claiming she was verbally abused, young David making all sorts of unsubstantiated claims, and he’s averaging around 20 in Test Cricket. Call me cynical, but……..

Well said Peter. The last 9 months has seen England play some magnificent cricket. I’m in England ( and freezing to death by the way) and people here are genuinely excited about the game again. Long may it continue!
There is something wrong, I am becoming a supporter of English cricket!
Cheika did the same and hung around….what happened then?
CONFIRMED: England pull the pin on Eddie's World Cup dream as assistant steps up as interim coach
Good! About time. He should have gone after the last World Cup.

As Merv Hughes told him…” You don’t get to play testimonial Test Matches”
Warner wants Ashes farewell tour but he'll be lucky to make squad based on recent form
Hi Simoc. I’m back living in England and I must be missing something. I can barely find anyone talking about or showing an interest in this ridiculous tournament. To find out the scores you have to download Cricinfo etc to find out who’s playing who and who actually won. The crowds have allegedly been good but that’s mainly due to the number of free tickets given away. It has destroyed what was a wonderful cricket summer with 4 wonderfully exciting Test matches. The summer has lost all it’s momentum. We have a 3 match series against South Africa starting soon but it’s hard to find a word written about that. That’s only going to get worse what with the EPL starting over the weekend. As a cricket tragic I find it actually quite depressing.
I accidentally stumbled over some radio commentary the other day .I have no idea who was playing who, who was playing for who but had to turn it off after 10 minutes due to the ridiculously over hyped commentary. Everything was brilliant, stunning or magnificent.
At risk of sounding like an old so and so…it’s definitely a no from me. Please wake me when it’s over.
Should Cricket Australia implement a 100-ball tournament?
It doesn’t matter what spinners Sri Lanka play, if they’re going to bat like they did in the 1st Test they’ll get another thrashing. They were beyond pathetic.
Sri Lanka expected to give young guns a chance to turn the tables against Australia
Well done Tony. Brilliant article, you’ve nailed it.
'Exact opposite of Langer': The intensely private Andrew McDonald and what will change with him in charge
I wish Vaughan (2005 Ashes winning captain) would state whether it was 2 or 3 journos???..Seriously, this arrogant clown is considered totally irrelevant over here. No one cares what he thinks or says anymore.
'Don't do it at a pub': Vaughan lifts lid on Cummins' secret summit in days before Langer's downfall
Michael Vaughan is a bit ridiculous….He’s on borrowed time over here.

Michael Vaughan single-handedly won the 2005 Ashes…just ask him, he’ll happily tell you how he, HE, did it.

Hello Paul. We commented at least 12 months ago that giving Chris Silverwood total control of the England team was a fiasco waiting to happen….and guess what?????
English Cricket has the talent, what it doesn’t have is the brains to use it. Hopefully things will change but as we know, it’s the hope that kills.
Should Jos Buttler hang up the gloves in Test cricket?
He’s played 57 Test matches, scored 2 Test centuries ( 7 in his First Class Career) and averages 31.94 with the bat, but as I say, he’s the best paid man in English Cricket….and we wonder why England have just been thrashed Down under…again!
Should Jos Buttler hang up the gloves in Test cricket?
Yes !!!! He’s the most over rated and certainly the most over paid man ever in English cricket. Enough with Jos. He’s over stayed his welcome in test Cricket for the last 2 years.
Should Jos Buttler hang up the gloves in Test cricket?
Playing like millionaires when they’ve only got a dodgy $20 note in their back pockets.
DAY 3 REPORT: Nothing will save woeful England as Australia move into prime position
I would just like to remind my Roar friends that Jos Buttler is the highest paid cricketer in English cricket. He’s on a base salary of £1.25 million a year plus match fees. Rory Burns is on £650,000 a year. To say we’re peed off about this ashes series back here would be the understatement of all time.
Just call it 5-0 now and bring these overpaid pretend test cricketers home.

Warner’s in….Woods out….The English brain trust strikes again!
Cummins backs Richardson as Hazlewood replacement, Warner decision made
Sadly, I think I’ll shortly find that out!
Say it isn't so: England could end up playing Jack Leach again
I’m a firm believer in that you make your own luck and I truly believe that the totally ridiculous decision not to play Stuart Broad in that Test Match will go down as one of the strangest decisions ever made in Ashes history. He was primed and ready to go ( against multiple left handers !) on a bouncy wicket….I do love the English Brains Trust…if only they had one.

It was like watching an old episode of It’s a Knockout…A total fiasco! But why are we surprised?

If Jack Leach is picked for the Adelaide Test, I’m finally going to give up. It’ll be the Hara Krishnas and pierced nipple rings for me….Enough is enough!
