With all the fuss Mickey Arthur and Michael Clarke have created over the Test team, I thought it would be good to get back to ground zero and look at the Sheffield Shield. Remember it? Maybe not, since there’s no coverage of it and it’s certainly not on the nightly news anymore. This weekend the [...]

State vs state back again after BBL final

by , 19 Jan 2013

The bright colours will be gone next week from the Australian state scene, with the domestic one-day cricket and first-class competitions kicking off after the end of the Big Bash League.

Run gluttons Phil Hughes and Michael Klinger feasted on Queensland to deliver South Australia a crunching nine-wicket victory in Sunday’s one-day match at Adelaide Oval.
