As the game changes and moves in the most interesting time in the game’s history, one thing in particular that evolves is the position of the key forward in the AFL.
Richmond’s 2020 campaign has faced its fair share of ups and downs with injuries and a gruelling fixture on the road in an era of COVID-19.

The famous spring carnival of racing is set to look a lot different in the wake of COVID-19.

The name Deion Sanders might not be the most familiar in the sporting world, but Sanders remains the only player to hit a baseball home run and score a touchdown in the same week.
both leggies was the similarities I was drawing 2nd and 3rd on the all time test wicket taker
The death of the leg spinner
Could provide more on a 5th day wicket or older wickets , plenty of 5th day tests still around .
The death of the leg spinner
The toss was won and bat on both surfaces hoping for 5th day or 4th day help , nothing of the sort
Australia is far from pitch perfect
Yeah couldn’t agree any more, He’s just bangs it in and goes back and does it all day .
Australia is far from pitch perfect
Made some of the Aussie bats look poor especially with Washington and Thakur’s innings
Australia is far from pitch perfect
Very True , Just not the usual wear and tear we are use to seeing on Australian surfaces
Australia is far from pitch perfect
More on the mentality of the players
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Pant is in for his batting shown in that second innings plenty of promise .
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Yeah poor mentality would love to see a new era of Australian cricket . Hard fought but fair
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Personal attacks when decision don’t go their way . Loved the no frills performance after the ball tampering saga . Almost sober feel no swearing or abuse
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Good call , a captain should be leading by example – Kane Williamson is the prime example great cricketer and captain no surprise their number 1
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Frustration loomed large could and will happen again to push the limit
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
completely agree continues to push the boundaries .
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Marking centre in a break is a very rare in the test cricket I’ve watched over the past 15 years
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Crossed a line from banter to personal attacks.
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
Going from another angle a Craig Bellamy from the Melbourne Storm would whip that side into form real quick .
Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?
It paid off especially in that second innings on both fronts . But geez Pant knock proves that a batting keeper can change the course of a game or save one in Pant’s case
The versatile wicket-keeper
Seems like the likes of Ms Dhoni would have inspired a new generation of youth keepers coming through , Next tour don’t be surprised if we see a fresh new face 😊
The versatile wicket-keeper
Luckily he made runs in that second innings, might have made me look a bit red faced if he didn’t haha 😛
The versatile wicket-keeper
Yeah don’t think it’s animal cruelty as yet , but if international horses continue to die that is more than cruel .
The race that breaks the nation
Yeah agreed the track doesn’t suit an international raider – there are tougher regimes that include the horse running up hill to build muscle obviously doesn’t compensate for the struggles of the race
The race that breaks the nation
The major connection was the international raider on wetter tracks and softer compared to Australian harder tracks with added weight might be too much
The race that breaks the nation
Just thinking could have done more to the left hander in that Sydney test . big of rough by his front foot from that Randwick end .
