I’m hearing some people question Usman Khawaja’s place in the Australian ODI team. This staggers me. Isn’t this the guy who scored more runs than anyone in ODIs in 2019? How could he possibly be anything other than entrenched in Australia’s line-up?
There has been a lot of analysis about the Liam Stocker trade, much of it unfavourable for Carlton and positive for Adelaide.
We are blessed to be able to watch two opening batsmen who average close to 50 in Test cricket; Alastair Cook (46.0) and David Warner (47.4).
Some say David Warner should not be picked for Australia’s Test team in sub-continental conditions.
Jacques Kallis is without doubt one of the best cricketers of his generation.
The Australian public are pretty unlucky to have to put up with the likes of Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios.
Carlton is a very dislikable football club. Their past success stemmed from money, greed and ruthlessness in a time when that was allowed.
The Australian selection committee is at risk of ruining the developing talent that is Steve Smith if he is given any more responsibility.
The fact that Brad Haddin, in horrid form with the bat, carrying a shoulder injury and 37 years old, is still a walk up start as our national wicketkeeper means he’s either an exceptional leader or Australia’s domestic alternatives are not performing well enough.
Queenslander Cameron Boyce has reminded everyone in Australia that leg-spin is a legitimate option in international cricket.
Everyone loves Nick Kyrgios. Who wouldn’t? He plays attacking, entertaining tennis, is still in his teens and is beating the world’s best.
If the Socceroos are still alive after their first two games in this month’s World Cup, they should feel confident of progressing to the knock-out rounds.
I remember sitting down with a friend in 2008 and discussing how the Sydney Football Club would be one of the worst clubs in the AFL for years to come. Most of the media agreed at the time.
Everybody keeps telling me Bryce Gibbs is soft, has a terrible haircut and is incapable of playing football.
A lot of experts have criticised Australia for batting too quickly in the second Test against South Africa, suggesting it was the reason they got bowled out for 246.
Fresh from a summer of cricket and cricket commentary, many Roar readers would be familiar with the same old cricket cliches which are rolled out time after time.
This current Australian team, so different in philosophy to the one we saw in Germany 2006, could do with a dose of Guus Hiddink’s thinking.
