    Big Bash BBL 06 (2016/17)

    BBL Squads are pretty much finalised. Here are my best XI's minus players who are very unlikely to play Strikers Weatherald Dunk Hodge Head Pollard Dean Ludeman Richardson Rashid Laughlin Stanlake Neser has a poor bowling record. What he gives you with the bat at 8 doesn't make up for what...

    ICC World T20 India 2016 - March/April 2016

    The conduct and decision making of the Australian selectors have been shocking leading into the world cup. They've all but killed any chance of us winning. Constantly chopping and changing the side when they should be figuring out their best combination. In todays match if Nevill bats any...

    New Zealand tour of Australia Nov-Dec 2015

    We've got to get rid of the Marsh brother. Shaun has showed time and time again that is not capable of playing international cricket. Mitch's batting is terrible. At this stage he's effectively in the team as a bowler. So you may as well have Pattinson in the team instead (mind you Pattinson...

    Australia tour of Bangladesh - POSTPONED

    Personally i think their solid performances in ODI cricket are deluding people into thinking they've improved in the longer format. Which they haven't. But I guess we'll never know now.

    Australian Domestic Cricket

    New squads are in. I'm pretty excited. This is going to be a high quality tournament of cricket. Apart from SA and the CA XI all the teams are real top quality. I've put together my best XIs from the updated squads. NSW Watson Maddinson Smith Carters Patterson Nevill Henriques Abbott Starc...

    Australia tour of Bangladesh - POSTPONED

    My team would be Bancroft Burns Khawaja Smith Voges Maxwell Nevill Starc Cummins Siddle Lyon I've got Maxwell instead of Marsh because both of their batting is not good at test level, but maxwell's spin would be more useful in the conditions. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter what...

    Australia tour of West Indies May-June 2015

    Pretty ordinary decision to get rid of Chanderpaul. Even if his recent form hasn't been great it's not as though there's any half decent talent waiting to come in. Guys averaging mid 20s in first class cricket are a better option? Absolute pelicans. Also Chanderpaul's work ethic sets an example...

    Australian Domestic Cricket

    One reason why they like to play the matches at the bigger grounds is because they're trying to prepare players for test cricket, thus they want them playing at Test venues, so these guys actually get the home ground advantage. It'd seem a bit silly for a guy to play a test match at MCG for e.g...

    Australia Team Discussion

    i don't think the series against WI is going to be a walkover. Slow dry dull pitches, lets remember back to Pakistan. It's not exactly our most favourite conditions. However we will win because WI are terrible. It'll just be closer than people think.

    Big Bash 2014 - 15 BBL

    Considering all the English bowlers who have been signed to play BBL such as Tremlett Dernbach and Mahmood were struggling to even get in the team, I think it's fair to say our bowlers are a fair bit stronger. Just look at tonight. Pattinson Siddle Rimmington Cummins Nannes Sandhu you don't...
