Nice article, I myself was actually going to write something like this. It’s great seeing us girding the opposition into the ground. I hope it continues.
Is Australian sport on the rise?
Thats what I would have said before I readed this article – http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/566217.html
If Australia win the Ashes, would Clarke retire?
I can’t believe that players will risk losing a match for the country for a few hundred dollars! Why train all your life to play for your country only to make them lose! If the ICC find out that a player has been fixing a match, they should ban them for life.
What should be done with New Zealand cricket's alleged matchfixers?
I certainly hope he continues, without him I can safely say that we are screwed.

And again, nice article.
Warner: A man in form, on and off the field
I am not a fan of drop in pitches, cricket grounds should stay as cricket grounds. The ground looks beautiful though.
Adelaide pitch questions to be answered today
Good article. He has certainly matured as a player. I couldn’t say as a person because I have never met him, but his batting has really improved. I reckon that due to his hard work off the field, he has improved on it.
Warner: A man in form, on and off the field
Haha funny article, I reckon I am the True Cricket fan with a hint of the Guru in me.
The seven types of cricket fan
+1
Although, if there where to be a series in any format between Bangladesh versus Afghanistan, I would put my money on the Afghans to win.
Can the West Indies or NZ move up the order?
If it means I get to watch the Toffee’s play live, its a yes for me.
Should the EPL host international fixtures?
I can’t see New Zealand getting into the top 4 test nations for another 20 odd years. For a country who’s people are so obsessed about Rugby, there doesn’t seem to be much interest in cricket
Can the West Indies or NZ move up the order?
I was mostly going on the views of users on the Cricket Australia Facebook page. Most of it was really abusive, some of the comments would even make a sailor blush. Me though, I wouldn’t dare in my life hurl abuse at players, the worst I could do is a few mutters to myself while watching Stuart tear our batting order apart.
Anti-Broad sentiment is getting out of hand
A bit harsh on the Pumas saying that they are one of the never wills. I believe that the Argentinians will be a huge threat in international rugby in the next 10 years.
Six Nations can't cut the mustard on the world rugby stage
I wouldn’t mind seeing another Western Australian team. In the Northern Suburbs of Perth, there is a lot of talented players and you can always see a kid playing with a Football (Soccer ball) at the local park.
Australia needs promotion and relegation
Coulter-Nile for sure. I can’t see Bollinger ever playing for Australia again sadly.
Coulter-Nile or Cutting set for Ashes debut at WACA
I like how Jake Doran is getting to play against England in the Chairman’s XI. At just 16, he excels with Bat, Bowl and Gloves.
I wrote an article on him, you might find it interested.
Thinking ahead in Aussie cricket
I hope so, he as worked so hard on his technique and I believe he’s a sleeping giant in International cricket. Watson I think should be dropped from the Test team, I would put Faulkner in to replace him. Watson is a great limited overs player, but I feel his Test career is coming to and end.
Cricket's stars of tomorrow will never be the legends of yesterday
Thanks mate, means a lot to me.

Anyone who is called the next McGrath is never going to live up to the expectation in there first few tests. Phil Hughes shows great potential, but that short ball all ways seems to get him. Phil Jaques was just simply unlucky, a back injury ended his time in the Aussie team. Phil was a joy to watch and to this day I still think about what could have been if Phil was still playing for Australia.

I personally couldn’t see the Australian team doing such a thing to be honest. Sure the Clarke and Anderson thing in the first test was a little fiery, but I think they would respect the personal struggle Trott is going through right now.
Broad: sledging Trott is off limits
Man U is pretty much Everton dressed in red.
Moyes not the only one to blame
