After watching a smattering of Big Bash League matches, I have started to question the oft-quoted “shallow pool of talent” when discussing the Australian…
And a Worker to boot!
Hammer blow: Dolphins lose two fullbacks in one game as Cobbo double helps Broncos to derby glory
KOK is simply the best KOK in the entire universe. Paul Vautin has his moments great,good and bad. As for Andrew Johns where is my gaffer tape? Billy Slater is the best of the new generation and JT is to be forgiven his rather thin observations because of his outrageous smile and truly unmistakeable laugh. Brad Fittler can suprise with his incites, trouble is it’s buried deep amongst his bias. The less said about and from Gould the better
Viewers need more of Paul the analyst, less of Fatty the class clown's cringeworthy commentating
the mantel of Indigenous Leader obscures the issue in play in my opinion. Latrell as a football player has temperament or discipline issue which lead to his judiciary problems time and time again. Despite not being a Bunnies supporter I would not boo the man but that’s not his biggest problem is it?
Why his latest ban could be best thing for Latrell’s career - or the beginning of the end
Bellamy pencils in two certain victories every season. I don’t care about the Premierships I just want to beat Melbourne ! Just the once.

Well everyone now knows what is needed when playing the Broncos

In praise of Test Cricket. Very very few teams are ever perfect

Please stop mentioning Rugby it’s as irrelevant to a discussion about cricket as it is in general
Australia vs New Zealand Test series deserves greater fanfare than a March through autumn clash with footy codes
Happy Poms lost. Still, I like how they play even though revelling in smelling their own farts is pretty amusing. It creates an extra dimension to Test Cricket. They’re having a crack in India and that’s not easy.
Bazball beaten: Indian young guns' nerveless stand aces chase, ensures Poms' first series loss under McCullum
Firstly, I can’t switch off a test match but often do during T20 telecasts. I have always loved 50 over internationals but don’t get to watch much because paywalIs. I don’t think T20 is not Cricket however, calling the game “Big Bash” suggests rather emphatically, it’s something else.
No longer pyjama cricket: Viewership numbers dispel any myth that T20s haven't earned “real cricket” status in Australia
Johnny Bairstow is an absolute lock for the next Ashes. Please Please pick him

I rate Ms Margaret River well above

SA20 was established by CSA in 2022 through a newly formed entity, Africa Cricket Development (Pty) Limited (ACD). CSA is the majority stakeholder in ACD with a 50% share, while broadcaster SuperSport has a 30% share and former Indian Premier League (IPL) Chief Operating Officer Sundar Raman, the remaining 20%. Its not Test Cricket as such, its the Money, Man! The answer for Test Cricket is the same it’s the Money, Man! Until the balance of $$ favours Test Cricket QED. So in whose possible pecuniary interest is Test Cricket? Hard to see any candidates. Sad!
Our worst fears are realised - South Africa's shocker across the ditch is bringing Test cricket into disrepute
We need him on the plane for the next Ashes tour
How many modes of dismissal are there? Too many - the precious ‘spirit of cricket’ tarnished by outdated, unnecessary laws
Indeed

ODI cricket needs football-style World Cup qualification, not more boring bilateral snoozefests
Yeah what a failure! Your just gonna have to step in and fix this
Smith delivers timely response to 'average' critics who don't think he's an opener
The terminal decline of Australian Test Cricket continues to be forecast like 10 of the last two recessions.
Windies' dynasty decline a cautionary tale for Australian selectors with major transition period looming

Really enjoying West Indies play this trip. A much higher quality compared to last tour. A happy and increasingly confident group as I see it. Sad this is the last of their tests this summer.

Great point!
Aussies face huge call over batting experiment with Smith and Green failing again as Windies turn Test on its head
Thinking about Aussie batting form and recent changes it does demonstrate the complexity of team selection. You cannot assume individual player success, it is a wait and see proposition witness Cameron Green, I think he will be a great player but not right now. The issues Smith is currently enduring we’re evident at #4 his mind is clearly scrambled at the moment not sure putting him on at #1 would be helping though. Thank goodness we have far fewer worries with the bowling group where you can assume success.

Obviously and I mean really obviously, my comment refers to those who select the Australian team in particular.

Don, observing Renshaw at the Gabba day one as a sub. It was very obvious he fits in this team’s culture. Bancroft’s form and numbers definitely should have got him the job. It reminds me of my working life employing people I had 2 basic questions 1. Can they do the job? 2. Can they work with me ? Now I don’t know for sure if this is the case here but if walks like a duck and quacks like…

I rate Billy’s ability to work on combinations with the talent available. I don’t rate mine or others here. It’s a deep pleasure being a Queenslander at this time of year.
Injury-hit Maroons won’t panic over Origin selections but just sit back and laugh at Blues’ hullabaloo
