you have to finalise the team before the toss not after unfortunately

'Let the big dog feast': Time to back yourselves, Australia. It's worked before and will work again

I think you are spot on with this article well done! Not sure about the first line though, be good if you could list a few of the good things Boof did as coach because I can’t think of any

Australian cricket must give up on the numbers and trust gut instinct

Great article and something for us all to think about. 👍

Three things I learned from Andrew Symonds

Spot on Kane, no surprises he resigns as soon as the report comes back. Collingwood could not move forward with a racist in charge

Review details Collingwood systemic racism

I love how the bowler doesn’t even apologise, poor form after nearly taking the batsmens head off

Batsman channels The Matrix to avoid wild beamer

You are kidding about Hayden, yeah??? I heard lots about his cooking, fishing and boating adventures and it was boring. In fact at one time my wife even asked who the idiot was talking about crap – yes – Hayden

Ashes niggle in January? Strap in for a long year

I like Peirson and I think he has real talent but he is not in discussions at the moment because he is not good enough. Once he learns his batting craft a little batter and gets his concentration levels up he will be in the mix. He has all the skills.

Forget Test tons: Tim Paine is Australia's 'Cameo King'

exactly Jeff, you can’t change half the team and expect to win test matches. Shaw was average but they picked him and will retain him. Pretty clear some don’t have much of a clue 😂 😂

An early second Test preview: Can India wrest back the momentum?

I agree, as a test cricket lover one of the few things I really enjoy about T20 is no reviews.

Decision making needs a review in the BBL

Brenko Lee has been released from the bubble, he aint playing game 3

Where to for Queensland in Game 3?

WTF!!! The photo is of Ashton Agar 🙂

Australia topple England to end T20 series

I have done it Mark. I moved back to Sydney in 2012 from the Sunshine Coast, I had not really followed league for many years. I worked at Waverley Council and in order to connect with the staff there I had to reacquaint myself with League, it was the major discussion point. In 7 years there I might have heard AFL mentioned 3 or 4 times. I now work for a Council in Melbourne and having not lived here before I have been shocked by the amount of talk around Rugby League.

Why the NRL can't compete with the AFL in Sydney

Talk to any worker on a building site, at a council depot or the average punter at the pub in Sydney there is little to no AFL talk.

Why the NRL can't compete with the AFL in Sydney

I grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney and attended hundreds of league games and by far the worst crowd behaviour I have ever witnessed was at a Port Adelaide vs Sydney semi final in the early 2000’s. That is not to say all AFL crowds are like this but mark you are just making it up as you go along, no idea.

Why the NRL can't compete with the AFL in Sydney

The NZ players want to return to their families and resume their lives not be in isolation for 14 days. That’s what I would want to do and anyone who loves their families would want as well.

Strange times for Australasian sporting competitions

Superspud that is exactly what is going to happen. Very shortly restaurants will be closed (to diners, open for take away orders), shopping centres will be closed etc. I’m not sure anyone outside of the government sector really appreciates what is coming.

What’s more important: Public health or footy?

Only 2 New South Welshmen, that must be a record for the alphabet teams? And one of those is someone very few of us would have ever heard of!!

The Australian cricket all-time great alphabet teams: Letter R

Micko, if the NZ team didn’t get back into NZ by last night they would have had to do a 14 day quarantine period. So they obviously didn’t want that. Same with Aus touring NZ shortly, so both tours were cancelled.

Strange times for Australasian sporting competitions

Ever heard of Nathan Lyon 🙂

The Australian cricket all-time great alphabet teams: Letter K

Great stuff Matt, looking forward to the whole series. While the A’s might not be star studded, any team captained by the Big Ship will be super competitive. But gee I’m looking forward to the B team, should contain some all time favs. My personal favourite is Sid Barnes!

The Australian cricket all-time great alphabet teams: Letter A

Hi Ronan, great article. I also believe in that first match that Australia’s score was actually recorded as 268 as a six had been signalled as a four (Shastri giving the umps a bum steer), this was questioned at the break and the score adjusted to 270, they then win by 1 run.

The great Australian heist: How Australia won their first Cricket World Cup

You’re probably right but I think he will, he has just put up a good score in BBL and has a proven record in English conditions. Harris is falling away currently and I think he will struggle in swinging conditions.

Patterson ton a welcome addition to Ashes intrigue

i agree, not sure about Harris. My team for first ashes would be
Renshaw
Burns
Warner
Smith
Head
Patterson
Paine
Cummins
Starc/Richardson
Lyon
Hazlewood/Tremain
I think Warner would make a perfect 3

Patterson ton a welcome addition to Ashes intrigue

Rugby League GF – 30/9/18, AFL GF – 29/9/18 – first JLT Cup game Qld v Vic – 16/9/18 not seeing a month break there Brendon the 1st???

What's wrong with this season's BBL?

Spot on David. I still have the feeling that Oz cricket just don’t get it, seniority rules. Same happens when the new batsman is picked, regardless of skill or ability they are made to field at short leg. Until these internal decisions are made on merit not seniority it proves nothing has changed except sledging.

At long last, Pat Cummins will have the new ball again against Sri Lanka
