Australian Domestic Off Season 2018

[Starfighter]

Would be more interesting than the Ashes tbh, at least if played on a nice Hobart pitch.

Fawad Ahmed sacked by Victoria.

 

[Spikey]

seems like his contract just wasnt extended

 

[brockley]

They mut be looking at a younger spinner to shadow for Holland.
Grimwade from the Futures League took quite a few wkts last season.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Fawad Ahmed sacked by Victoria.

Oh man devastating. He was a class bowler. Didn't have the greatest season though I guess, averaged 37.

Probably could have achieved more but he was a great servant of the game also through his charity work

 

[Gnske]

Another day, another bowled for Hilton

Australian International schedule for 2018/19.

 

[Gnske]

It's always good when the majority of international matches in the summer won't be on FTA

What an utterly depressing schedule, dragging SA all the way over here for sh*t all.

England are dragging your lot over here for a load of pointless one-dayers this summer.

**** you Cricket Australia

So the 3rd most populated City in Australia can't even get an ODI game, or one of the four marque Tests in the Summer?

**** you Sutherland

It has to go on population, not who's got a shiny, new ****ing stadium

 

[Burgey]

Aren't we playing India at the Gabba? That's disappointing tstl.

 

[Burgey]

Oh ****, I just read the link. Bad enough India is coming here to get belted all over the place, then we have SL who've never won a bloody test here. You'd rather a forfeit and just telecast a couple of rounds of the Shield. That or complete the dirge that will be this summer by having Pakistan out here as well, and get it all out of the way in one horrible, stats-padding hit.

Brisbane is a lovely City; populated by the most cultured people in Australia

The Gabba is a beautiful girl, and a fortress for our team

Petition time!

 

[Crazy Sam]

Not just that, but SL playing a day night test at the Gabba with what appears to be virtually no warm up (and no Warner/Smith for Australia). Might struggle to last two days.

Sri Lankan Test
No ODIs
And the Brisbane Lions

No much incentive there to renew my Membership

I'm more inclined to go to the women's T20 against NZ at AB Oval in October.

Save the fortress bit, every part of your post is wrong.

That and the petition time part too.

How the **** can the capital of QLD need to build a fake beach on a river when there's about 3,000 kms of sun drenched beaches in the State? Prefer others.

 

[Spikey]

The gabba is **** tbf

 

[stephen]

The Gabba is great when it's a full house. AB Oval is better at all other times.

Also it turns out that India probably aren't going to play the D/N test in Adelaide. Probably afraid of the swinging ball. That it the BCCI is made up of the biggest bunch of mental dinosaurs in world cricket. This is the same board that didn't believe in DRS until years after everyone else had adopted it.

 

[vcs]

That's a shame. The D/N match would be India's best chance of grabbing a win in Australia. Their batsmen are as **** against the moving ball as anyone else, and we have a couple of bowlers who could exploit it.
