*Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

Cricketer Of The Year
West Indies 2x'd the record for lowest cumulative runs from the top 6 in an innings that was set in 1896. Now greaves is coming for Bannerman. Inspirational stuff.

Recently I compared videos of him in 04 against India compared to the 05 Ashes. While since, say, 2000 his action had changed subtly and he'd lost pace since, it looked pretty much identical between the two series as were his speeds. Yet in one he picked up lots of wickets, and in the other he was totally ineffective and never recurved what made him good in India.
With the benefit of hindsight, it was obvious that something was off in the Gabba test against the Kiwis even though he took wickets

While McGrath had the ball leaping around off a length at lower speed, Gillespie just looked flat

Fine margins at that level

Fair dos to Scotty Boland, that was some decent bowling for that hat trick.

He's the Adam Voges of medium fast bowling.

Well if nothing else, it's record breakingly bad. No point in just being mediocre,afterall. Might as well go the whole hog.

Boland must be wondering if the man in the sky has played a cruel joke on him, all his life he has toiled away in Sheffield Shield to earn a test cap, only to find Test Cricket so ridiculously easy with the only problem being he is 36 .

Australia is going to win 3-0 anyway but WI are lucky that Boland didn’t play the first 2 tests as these conditions are perfect for him and they’d have scored even less

The absurd selection of Konstas at least 3 years too early could ruin him, interesting to see where it goes from here
