Denial, it ain’t just a river in Egypt.
Heat on McDonald to show he can get bumbling Aussies firing again after insipid World Cup performances
Spot on Rowdy, he just looks a liability lately when he has the ball in hand. That’s solely because the responsibility of the captaincy is messing with him.

While the rest of the world is progressive inasmuch they select youth and white ball specialists; Australia has devolved and returned to a late 70’s and early 80’s philosophy of basically selecting the Test side.
I commented at the start of the South African tour prior to this World Cup, how refreshing the Australian T20 side presented, with a heap of young faces and an unbridled enthusiasm. Apparently this counted for little, as they were quickly replaced by Dad’s Army when the 50 over games commenced, and so here we are.

Questionable DRS decisions are the least of our worries. The Australian outfit presents as old and incredibly stale across all formats. A thorough external review encompassing players, coaches and selectors needs to be conducted; It won’t be though, as the same old tired mediocrity pads up for another Summer in Australia, and papers over the glaring cracks by basking in the glow of probable victories over an unpredictable Pakistan and club level West Indies.
Twin DRS controversies leave Aussies fuming as latest collapse, fielding nightmare sum up huge loss to Proteas
Actually watched last nights game; It’s the first T20 I have watched since about 2019. I really enjoyed it (can’t believe I am saying it), haven’t seen BBL for a few seasons, as a result there were a lot of fresh faces in the side that I had read about but never seen play. The Australian team under Mitch Marsh seems pretty fresh and dynamic, I think from the Test side there was only him and Travis Head, however they all seemed to gel and most were quite impressive. Can’t say I will ever be an avid T20 fan, but perhaps will be more inclined to watch it more frequently than I have in the past.

It actually is 142, however feels like 47.

Wow! I have posted some questionable comments on here in the past, particularly after a few. However none of it comes close to this rambling, sanctimonious fluff piece. I am unsure whether to just laugh out loud or be afraid.
COMMENT: Cummins failed the moral test and tarnished these Ashes. He had the chance to be a legend and blew it
Dunno Don, I am a Test cricket nut, but turned it off at about midnight last night and went to bed. They had a mid off and a deepish cover, while the rest were on the fence. Thought they may try it for ten or so overs, however after over two hours of it I was bored senseless. If a team has to resort to such tactics then there is a) something horribly wrong with the pitch or, b) something horribly wrong with the pitch.

Honestly thought Stokes’ innovations were refreshing and interesting; this so called ‘Bazball’ has reinvigorated English Test cricket. The sycophantic pandering to it by the British media, particularly a few in the commentary box however has left a little to be desired. Definitely is adds a different and exciting slant to Test Cricket, but the manner in which it was talked up through media channels was ridiculously overstating its impact.

While the last couple of weeks have been great from a cricket perspective, it has been the first time I have watched the game on free to air for over three years I reckon. It is horrendous. The sooner all televised cricket is behind a paywall the better.
Ad nauseum: Channel Nine's coverage of the Ashes is not up to standard
If the players you mention are relying on some half baked provincial T20 competition in order to garner some widespread credibility, I believe you are somewhat deluded.
I reckon I saw enough of Yadav at international level when India played Australia earlier this year and he managed to accumulate three consecutive golden ducks. I’ll give you the message; he ain’t no hidden gem.

Yes, ‘there is no boys club at the AFL’; definitely the funniest thing I have heard in a while.

Yeah! IPL keeps providing headline after headline day in day out. Sadly none of them are relevant and none of them stick. Just an hideous competition.

Would have put a line through Warner after England 2019; from a Test perspective. It’s ridiculous the hate directed at Harris. Yeah! Bangers and Renshaw are probably travelling better than Harris. Realistically the three of them are so far ahead of Warner, it’s disturbing Warner is even included in the discussion.

In all honesty, after Cripps picked up a Brownlow on the back of a court case defending the indefensible; I struggle to follow your argument that McAdam is mounting a frivolous challenge.
Audacious Adelaide Crows frivolous appeal speaks volumes on lingering concussion ignorance in the AFL
My God, young Pickett needs to buy a lottery ticket. His actions compared to McAdam’s were murderous.
It’s only a few rounds ago where a bloke took the tribunal to court in order to win a Brownlow.
Look I love AFL, but they need to sort this crap out. There is no consistency across the board. Any given incident on any given week is interpreted in any myriad of ways. This week being a case in point.

Am a big fan of Carey, his glovework this series has been top notch. But Geez! that shot in the first innings here has raised more than a few questions, just a complete lack of match awareness and responsibility.

Best win by the Aussies in quite a while. Fantastic effort.
Hoodoo gurus: Head shines as Aussies hold their nerve to end Indian drought with thumping win
Curse, I reckon. Matthew Sinclair, Laurence Rowe, Bob Massie, Nerendra Hirwani, and Jason Krejza come to mind quickly.
Is a brilliant Test debut a blessing or a curse?
Forgive my ignorance on this subject. Are there stipulations on a like for like replacement. Given that the game had evolved a little, would it be potentially possible to say replace Warner with say Boland or Agar. I am not saying that Australia would necessarily do this, nor want to do it, but is there an existent loophole that perhaps needs looking at.

Am happier to accept ‘hard-nosed’ than blatantly disingenuous.

Aah C’mon, don’t forget about his ‘natural variation’ whatever TF that means.

I would argue, the only events (if the last couple of seasons are any indication) the Sheffield Shield overlaps with are our Footy Finals, the Spring Carnival and then the Footy pre season (some three months later), such is the irrelevance of the competition in the eyes of CA.
The fact that those selected for this Indian tour, could only acquire any match practice to speak of was achieved through games in the BBL, only serves to emphasise my contention.
Just as an example, I like many others on here have been extremely concerned about the form of Warner in red ball cricket for the last four years. It is virtual insanity that despite his
ordinary output at Test Level, he has not played a Shield match in two years.
Is the result at Nagpur really that surprising.

Just cease utilising reviews as a tactic and implement them what they are there for, to overrule the obvious shocking decision. It ain’t rocket science.
