    Worst bowler to average lower than 30? (qualification: 50 Test wickets)

    Bollinger really seemed to pay the price for that Adelaide Ashes Test and how his fitness wasn't apparently up to standard. Because apart from his debut Test the rest of his Test career was impressive; but he must've really disappointed those of influence in Adelaide as he was never in the...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Re: NZ's long-term Test record against Australia, they did pretty well from 1997 to 2002 under Fleming. Australia were clearly the better side in that period but they showed enough fight and some inventive captaincy to be competitive mostly. It really went downhill from the 04/05 Oz tour...

    Quite startling how much better Oz are in Test series in Australia compared with most countries. Since their last series win in NZ in 2016 until today they'd only won one other away series - Pakistan 2022. Five consecutive Test series wins in NZ; not sure Australia have done that in any other...

    So much for that theory! I guess we'll see if the middle order can counter-attack successfully. It's their only hope now.

    Great bowling from Cummins again today, always lifts his game on flat tracks like this.

    Bulk of runs have to come from Top 4; middle order not in great form and showed as recently as Brisbane how vulnerable they are in this situation.

    Australia really should've buried this match with the bat today but some sloppy batting really let them down. That Head/Marsh/Carey middle order doesn't work for me; too flashy and high-risk and not well suited to when someone like Labuschagne is in for the long haul and needs support. The...

    Carey's list of inept dismissals growing into quite a long one.

    Crazy review, he was a mile down the pitch amongst other things.

    Shocker of a review, had nothing go for it.

    Serious hubris from Stokes to review that; maybe as a group they're mentally fried at the end of this disappointing series.

    Fair effort by Stokes to have a worse DRS appeal than Bairstow or Root. What is going on?

    Steve Waugh - the overrated test captain

    I'm pretty sure in the Taylor era only once (McGrath verballing Mullally in Melbourne in 98/99) was an Australian Test player sanctioned by the match ref. They were hardly angels in this period but for the most part they didn't lose control as happened on occasion in the Waugh era.

    Steve Waugh - the overrated test captain

    Waugh's captaincy certainly played a role in Australia reaching new levels of success, but I think the pivotal factor in making that Oz team an all-time great one was Gilchrist. Before Gilchrist Oz under Waugh had drawn in the West Indies and lost in Sri Lanka. Gilchrist coming in at 7 and...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Thinking back to that match, just underlines how pivotal that Green wicket on the final day was. He looked totally solid until his somewhat unlucky dismissal and then the rest of the batting looked totally vulnerable. With this batting lineup, Green looks like the most important batsman now; he...
