    Must say Bortoleto is impressing me more and more as the season wears on

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    No FC tons, average the wrong side of 30 Maybe he just isn't actually that good?

    voices??

    Speaking of commentary voices, whoever decided to put Charles Dagnall behind a microphone absolutely deserves to be on the dock at The Hague

    Should fast bowlers be banned from diving round the boundary?

    No, any sort of blanket ban is idiotic IMO On the other hand however, I do believe not diving for reasons of self preservation is something that shouldn't be criticised mostly for fast bowlers, especially in Tests. Limited overs a bit different as it is generally good fielders on the boundary...

    Australia/New Zealand motorsport thread

    My man Ryan Newman almost did it in Cup in the first season of the current playoffs format in 2014, but unfortunately Kevin Harvick was just that bit quicker that day at Homestead As for Supercars, yeah Feeney honestly has been excellent this year and under the traditional format would be a...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Another edition of the Top End T20 coming up in a fortnight. Really enjoyed what I saw of last year's tournament, especially with the Strikers Academy/Adelaide 1st grade all stars XI taking the win Here's the squad for this year. Fair few players I really do rate amongst those names

    Australia/New Zealand motorsport thread

    There has genuinely been a champion in this playoff format who won the title without winning a race all year (Matt Crafton, Truck Series 2019) and that didn't lead to any sort of change so I wouldn't hold my breath. Agree that the format is decidedly not great though. Makes it all the more...

    Australia/New Zealand motorsport thread

    One of those last 4 is Talladega too, which is genuinely as much as an unpredictable wildcard as it gets. So while definitely unlikely, it isn't completely beyond the realms of possibility. Think making it through the first round will be a tough ask though

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    He wasn't at his best last summer and still averaged 38 in the Shield. Lets not be ridiculous here

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Even for one of these not completely serious old players leagues, that must still be a horrible feeling Worst over I've seen since Simon Mackin in a Shield game at the WACA a fair few years back (the game a very young Pucovski made 270 or somesuch). Sad story that one, went from solid domestic...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Fair point. Would prefer him at 3 personally but if he sees opening as his most realistic path to push for a Test spot I could absolutely see that as a possibility

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Am genuinely interested to see who NSW do open with come next season, Konstas will likely be one (hopefully for the full season as he shouldn't be anywhere near the Test team) but who will open up alongside him? Maddinson obviously a possibility but only if he's remembered which end of the bat...

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    Think the best thing for Connolly going forward would to be nowhere near internationals for a little while so as to get a full season for WA under his belt. I don't think it's fair to bracket him with JFM on the basis that he actually has been genuinely impressive in the few Shield games he's...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    I'm not sure there is anything to really like about his bowling other than being a left armer. 130ish straight up and down pretty much anytime I've seen him

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    Yeah, can't see his skillset cutting in international limited overs cricket at all. If anything it is a touch surprising his domestic white ball stats are actually okayish Good to see Lance Morris is still alive
