    A.F.L. Thread II

    Well this is quiet. Catters have snuck into a nice little spot, guess if you are going to have a down year make sure you drop right out of finals and get the softer draw.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    We were supposed to be playing cricket last weekend but the season has been delayed because of all the rain. Some of the team went to watch Town play. They have now called off this weekend’s games. Looking forward to seeing who is going to inflict more pain on themselves by attending again.

    Australian Domestic Season 2020/21

    Sky Sports "Cricket"

    Get the feeling that the NBA are more progressive in getting their product out there in outposts, even just how liberal they are with social media, people cutting up clips from telecasts etc. to help promote the game. The issue with cricket is that you're negotiating TV rights with separate...

    The class of mid 00's

    Took longer to find a batting rhythm in tests than some others - knew the pattern of the game in white ball cricket from very early on. Bit too long opening probably affected his early career too.

    Australian Domestic Off Season 2018

    Seems like that's what Australia would do, at least from the SA tour when they picked Holland as back-up spinner, acknowledging that there wouldn't be a time where they'd use two spinners. Makes sense - Agar playing as second spinner as he can contribute more with bat and field. Maybe not the...
