    World T20 Qualifiers

    Considering there is going to be another preliminary round at the beginning of the tournament where only two teams will join the top 8 full members, I think it doesn't really matter how many qualify. The ICC have essentially done the same thing to the T20WC as what they're planning on doing to...

    Australia Off Season 2013 thread.

    Yeah this is probably right, but it's still strange that the broadcaster of it would be describing it as a 45 over tournament. Maybe they're thinking of the 45-over format a few years ago.

    Australia Off Season 2013 thread.

    It worries me when the tv guide description for the first match says this: Live from Bankstown Oval in the first match of the Ryobi Cup its NSW Blues vs Tasmanian Tigers. Condensed to a 6 match per team, 45 over tournament, the 2013 Ryobi Cup promises to be the most intense Cup to date...

    Cricket World Cup 2015 Launch

    What do we reckon the Australian stadiums will be? Depending on how many they choose, I reckon MCG, SCG, Adelaide Oval, Gabba, WACA, ANZ, Bellerive, Manuka and Marrara (Darwin). I read somewhere recently about the possibility of Blacktown, so I guess that could be another possibility.

    And yet the 2019 English summer features both the World Cup and Ashes

    Cricket World Cup 2015 Launch

    Certainly is a great ground, but you'd think it wouldn't get the final due to the lower capacity compared to the likes of MCG, ANZ, Adelaide Oval etc. I'm started to get worried that ANZ may get a semi-final though in front of the SCG though. Would be a huge mistake if they go that way.

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    oh boy this is going from bad to worse. Not a great shot there from a man trying to cement a spot at no.3

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    Did Clarke say anything before the test about him dropping back to no.5? I guess it makes sense though considering his record at 5.

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    No apparent noise on the audio, no hot spot, that's substantial evidence to overturn an out decision if you're ever going to get one

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    wow what a strange way to get out. Edit - oh no he could have reviewed it as well. I reckon if Watson hadn't reviewed, Rogers would've gone for it

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    Terrible review from Watson but I reckon Rogers might have convinced him it was worth a shot. Big wicket for England right before lunch, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Khawaja goes. He's got a big chance in this series to cement a permanent spot at no.3

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    The pitch might be good for batting but with Australia's fragile batting line-up, I reckon England may be just ahead

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    They may be vulnerable against the short ball but I don't think the strategy is worth it with the amount of runs being hit. Have bowled like this to tailenders before. It really should be simple - just bowl on the stumps and look for the slips with the occasional yorker

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    Runs really flowing here. Some good hitting from Broad and Swann but some really ordinary bowling from the Australian bowlers
