Comparing the Big Bash League with World Series Cricket

26 Jan 2012

In 1977, Channel 9 owner Kerry Packer signed up 66 of the world’s best cricketers – many of them in the prime of their careers like Dennis Lillee, Greg Chappell, Tony Greig, Clive Lloyd – to play in a series televised exclusively on the Nine Network called World Series Cricket.

Looking forward to this one. It's International rugby's version of State-of-Origin. I think the Wallabies will win, although it depends very much largely on how the Wallabies scrum hold up against the All Blacks. The danger man as far as the Wallabies is concerned, is Dan Carter. If Carter is in form, then the Wallabies are in trouble. They must not give any silly penalties within goalscoring range, because Dan Carter is one of the best penalty kickers in world rugby. As far as the coaching battle is concerned, it will be a beauty. Robbie Deans v Graham Henry is sure to be a great battle. Whoever gets the tactics & gameplans right will come out on top. I'd never thought I hear the majority of New Zealanders 'death riding' the All Blacks. If something like that had happened 20 years ago, it would be very un-New Zealand like to do it. I predict a Wallby win by 6 points.Australia 26 New Zealand 20

A Bledisloe Cup for the ages

24 Jul 2008

I reckon the Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney this Saturday night will be won or lost in the forwards. Forget about the tactical battles between Robbie Deans and Graham Henry, or the match-up between Matt Giteau and his All Black counterpart Dan Carter. No, the engine room is where the outcome of Game 1 of the 2008 Bledisloe Cup series will be determined. If the Wallaby scrum can hold their own without being overpowered by the All Black pack, they could go a long way in shaping the result. The line-outs will also be crucial as well.

Can the All Blacks win in Sydney?
