Wow, he really did get under your skin. Has anyone actually read Brendan’s article. It was not holier then thou. He referred to his own regrets when he expressed his opinion. That appeared to be an admission that he did something against the spirit of the game (Murali incident) and he regrets it. In his opinion what Steve Smith did was against the spirit of the game. He is not alone in this. The reaction of Smith and Warner indicate that they also think there is merit in what Baz said. Otherwise why such a reaction.
The only reason he got under your skin is also because you thought Baz was right, at least that what it seems like.
BTW, the GABBA match was lost because Bredan got his tactics wrong. This uber aggressive cricket does not work very often in a test match. The NZ cricketers should have drawn that match. Even KW was guilty of throwing his wicket by trying a slog sweep when draw was the only possibility for NZ.
McCullum's spirit of cricket on display at the Gabba
I have no problems with “doctoring” of the pitches. All of them are doctored anyway. A test should be a test for the visiting batsman and bowlers. Batsmen and bowlers have to learn to play in all conditions – home and away. This Australian side will have to prove itself away from home to be great. This is a young exciting side but are not great. In time who knows. Challenges in sub-continent and seaming pitches of NZ and UK await. Starc and Hazelwood have makings of great bowlers but have to become more consistent. Lyon is no Warne. Too compete in the sub-continent two world class spinner at least are needed.
India should not stop preparing turners at home. There is no divine right for the fast bowlers to pick up wickets. Let them be stock bowlers for a change. Incidentally India does not seem as good on turning wickets these days either.
Perth is the Mohali of Australia, only faster and greener
I don’t think Mac was playing mind games. He expressed his thoughts honestly, used his own past experience as a reference point. I didn’t find him being “holier than thou”. I dont find Smith’s response too bad either. Warner is a talented individual on his way to greatness but someone who should just be seen not heard.
David Warner lashes 'immature' McCullum
Probably the most aesthetically pleasing batsman to watch in the world today. There is correctness and classical beauty to his batting. His style also looks like one that can be replicated but this might be an illusion. He seems to have more time to play his shots than most other players around the world. I think we are privileged to be seeing one of the greats in action t the start of his career.
Without their bowlers, New Zealand are toast
You make no sense
Aussie tough guys in their own cricket world
