Love the Ashes

After picking the ball up during the third and final test, Faf du Plessis was howled down by the Aussie cricket team. He subsequently…
With Australia Day fast approaching, I wanted to pay homage to the loveable larrikin. To me it's a term that is synonymous with Australia…
I always think the same about Steve Smith. Horrible technique, in the classical sense, but it works.
Anderson hails England's 'superhuman' Root
Have you ever worked with South Africans? I’d say 90% are arrogant bullies.
Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler abuse cases evidence of a serious problem
Is that your home team, JGK? Because I wouldn’t pick Warner for a foreign test, esp. England!
No room for Joe Root or Kane Williamson in my World Test XI of the decade
For me it’s Michael Holding. Such a magnificent bowling action and not called “Whispering Death” for nothing!
Who's your favourite fast bowler?
Warner is a grub! As soon as I saw him in the commentary box I switched channels.
Dave Warner makes fun of Fawad Ahmed's batting... who then smacks TWO huge sixes
I would have liked to have seen the Kiwis win the toss and bat. I think the game would be much more evenly poised right now. As it is, Aussies well in front and should win comfortably from here.
Starc runs riot against rattled New Zealand
Great articles, JGK. Personally, I’m glad Paine declared. The thought of David Warner holding the record is repugnant. I always thought Hayden’s record was a joke, what with it being against Zimbabwe. I was so glad when Lara reclaimed the record.
Should Paine have let Warner chase Lara? Part 2
I always loved the fact he added Dylan as another middle name because he admired Bob Dylan so much. Farewell Bob 😢
Former England captain Bob Willis passes away
I know some Australian people who no longer follow cricket because of what Warner did to Australia’s reputation as a cricket nation. For that reason alone I could never respect the man. He may have served his time to Cricket Australia, but he will never be forgiven by a lot of Australians.
David Warner deserves more respect
Hi Nudge mate. You are correct. What you find dull in India, I find the same for one sided matches in Oz. Out of interest, I checked England’s last 2 tours here. 19 innings and only 2 scores over 400. However, in their previous and victorious tour of 2010-11, they batted in 7 innings and scored over 500 on 4 occasions. I guess things have gone downhill a little since then… 😢
Warner reveals key to form turnaround
As I stated, to be successful you need to be quick, which Aussie bowlers are. Tbh even the Aussie quicks laboured against good Indian batmen last summer. Pakistan aren’t that good…
Warner reveals key to form turnaround
I’m not happy coz Warner is w anchor, but spot on with your reasoning, Paul. Australian roads and the crap Kookaburra make for very boring test cricket. Way too easy for batsmen. Bowlers have to have metronomic accuracy or bowl 100mph to be successful. No swing and very little seam movement…yawn!
Warner reveals key to form turnaround
“Stacks at the WACA…” with an average of 28. That explains why you think MMarsh is good. LOL 😂
Maddinson and Harris push Test claims with Shield tons
The pitches offered up in Oz are a disgrace. Bland roads! Hopefully, the ICC will eventually strip a venue, such as the MCG, of test status to make a point! There is so much bias to batsmen over bowlers it’s ridiculous!
Gripping Ashes proves yet again that England, not Australia, has the hosting formula
I wish people would stop comparing the use of lollies to assist in shining the ball to the use of sandpaper to deliberately rough up the ball. Shining the ball is a legitimate practice, whereas roughing up the ball is illegal. Yes, they are both forms of cheating, but hardly comparable. Of course individuals and the media will raise the issue of “sandpapergate”. They want to rile you up. Ignore them and move on. It certainly looks like the trio involved have. Personally, I have great admiration for Steve Smith. He made an error in judgement by not acting as a leader, but that hardly warranted a one year suspension. Warner, on the other hand, is a grub!
England have no moral high ground over ball tampering
Congrats to Australia! It’s been a great series with so many stunning twists and turns. Would like to see England draw the series with a win at the Oval, but Steve Smith might have something to say about that. Incredible batting display so far…
Australia retain Ashes in a thriller
That fit’s with Ronan’s track record, d’you think…
New Zealand were robbed in the World Cup final
I find it hard to get too excited when I know he should’ve been out for a golden duck. It wasn’t even a half chance, as it would have been caught 999 times out of a thousand! Still, I guess he made the most of it…
Patterson ton a welcome addition to Ashes intrigue
Congrats on 100th article, Brett. Don’t think we need worry about whether to watch test match or BBL. The 1st test will be over by Sunday evening!
The run home: Who can and can’t make the BBL semis
Wow, Bangers. Your Trumpism excels. NASA and Hollywood aren’t related. China was on the moon last week. Known oil reserves were running low in the 70’s, which necessitated further exploration to find more reserves. Climate change is not a scam, but denying it is. Talk about spin…
Hot enough (to cancel the Test match cricket) for ya?
I think Australia dodged a bullet. A mediocre score boosted by a late flurry and an uncharacteristically poor showing by the Indian batsmen. I guess we’ll see in the remaining fixtures who really is the better team, but my money would be on India…
Richardson and Handscomb star in ODI win over India
Watched it last night. Absolutely amazing! One of the greatest test wins ever. 😊
