Calm needed in the AFL golden point debate
Judging by the alarmist reaction by many on social media and even in the newspapers, some would have you believe the golden point had just attempted to kidnap kids from Lebanon.

Judging by the alarmist reaction by many on social media and even in the newspapers, some would have you believe the golden point had just attempted to kidnap kids from Lebanon.
In this episode, The Roar gang of Dennis Freedman, Cat Jones and Dan Liebke are re-joined by Isanga the Intern to discuss the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.
Do you work for Buzzfeed, The Daily Mail or any one of those annoying websites that make you flick through a slideshow to get the full story?
Aussie legend Adam Gilchrist joins us on the latest episode of Can’t Bowl Can’t Throw.
In a move as unjustified as selecting Xavier Doherty in Australia’s last World Cup squad, a rogue cricketer has defended the pink ball.
Cricket in Australia has a long association with alcohol and gambling.
What better way for an Australian cricket podcast to celebrate an Ashes loss than by getting a BBC commentator to come on and gloat?
Lord’s 2015. Australia are 1-0 down in the Ashes, yet have come out in this Test and posted a score of 566. They cannot lose from here, but a win is not yet guaranteed.
Nathan Lyon says he will try and bowl worse in an effort to be selected in Australia’s ODI team.
The ICC have today released updates to the Laws of Backyard Cricket exclusively to The Roar. A redacted copy is produced below.
England have won the Ashes. In this celebratory episode/wake, Cat, Dennis and Dan Liebke crack into what we have seen.
Just in case you haven’t had Ashes overload yet, Cat and I have recorded another podcast on the topic.
I am usually loathe to produce anything in written form that vaguely resembles a match preview. Primarily because history tends to judge them as rather inaccurate.
The dust has settled on the proverbial nuclear bomb that Australia exploded at Lord’s.
The Roar is excited to be able to share with our readers the award winning* cricket podcast “Can’t Bowl Can’t Throw”
The Ashes are bearing down on us faster than Virender Sehwag hoes into a freshly prepared serving of butter chicken.
We cricket pundits are a funny beast. We like to sook and cry about the smallest things.
If it wasn’t for Cricket Australia trying to list the Best 100 Test Players since 2000, the team I am about to reveal would never have seen the light of day.
Thanks for the shout out Alec. I have to agree with you in the fact that any selection will be a right / wrong one.
Everyone will say it’s wrong at the toss. When the selected bowlers smash through England, it will be the right call.
Who knows what the correct answer is?
It's a Starc choice, but we know which Mitch Australia needs
Rogers has little in form competition and is coming off 6 consecutive Test 50’s. Harris has high competition and did not bowl as well as he could in his last Test series.
Ryan Harris isn't in Australia's best XI
He’ll take more than 250 wickets.
It will be closer to 350
Nathan Lyon's a fighter, but is he a match winner?
Get Ratten back. In his last year, he had half the list out injured and still nearly made the finals.
Who should replace Malthouse at Carlton?
Yes. Titus is a good man. Have you heard him on the Can’t Bowl Can’t Throw podcast?

Clarke made his Ashes hundreds in the first two Tests when they were yet to be won
Needlessly alarmist article using stats as a way to prove a point
I approve!
Time to step up, Pup
Nup
Way off the mark.
Siddle is the bowler who kept the pressure up by conceding little runs and not giving many bad balls to score from. He created multiple wickets for the team.
Patto can only come in to replace MJ or Harris.
Drop Peter Siddle for James Pattinson
Doolan is 28 and has done zip
Why are you happy to see him there?
Inverarity must fall on his sword
Thanks Stephen
Hughes is a humble and somewhat understated character. He is no Greg Matthews.
What’s a Phil Hughes to do?
Yep Rickety. There is also Cameron White, who is the same age as Marsh and is killing it at the moment….
What’s a Phil Hughes to do?
Mark Waugh is overrated. The figures prove it. The whole purpose of this article was to remove bias and subjectivity, which you have tried to bring to it
Hundreds, ducks, averages and #RootMaths
I didn’t select a team. I just selected the best 10 Test players for 2013, irrespective of position played

I hadn’t considered the English position. Well done Geoffrey
The elephant in the room with the ICC Test championship
Not sure which is worse?
Green Sydney or Red England
The Sydney Thunder just don't know how to win
I’m going tonight. I expect to melt in the 43 degree temperature in a stadium with 30,00 people with the roof closed
Maybe best just to stay at the bar

You are correct. I did publish his SR in error. His average was 47.52
