    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Looked not out to me. Rolling it through the energy of the ball coming back up into the gloves looked like the ball bouncing on the ground and up into the palms than off the fingers to me. The moment of contact is caught between frames.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    They certainly had the best of conditions but can't let that take away from a pair of historic performances. They still needed two to have sustained composure in a very tense scenario.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    I've defended Marnus' selection for the longest time and I even think him playing this match was defensible but clearly needs a serious spell.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    I don't see it as impossible Handscomb plays again. He was close enough to getting on the plane to Sri Lanka evidenced by the fact he was training with the Australian team at the end of the India series. While maybe the selectors see him as a subcontinent specialist, he could get back in that...

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    Crazy to think how different our batting order will look next away Ashes. Hopefully we see e.g. Kellaway, Goodwin. in county cricket next season. Suspect there will be at least one guy out of Patterson, Handscomb, Harris etc. who ends up getting a decent run past the age of 35.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    Probably my favourite day of live cricket except maybe the 5th Day of the 2014 Adelaide test match. First innings it felt like very much an SA home crowd and the adoration of Rabada in particular was terrific. Dynamic totally switched and us Australian expats certainly came out of the woodwork...

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    Aus probably regretting not getting a few games into guys who have some record of performing in subcontinental ODIs, like Turner, Handscomb in the last few years. Slightly worrying performance by our Big Bash "stars".

    Starting to get 2016 flashbacks.

    Lyon saw the flat darts Murphy was sending down and said nup. In all seriousness though, there are some situations where Murphy's current MO, while being less versatile than what he looked like on debut, could be handy.

    Really don't mind multi-tasking right now because these guys are just chilling.

    My feeling is that Connolly will play. Otherwise I don't think they would have given up an opportunity for Konstas.

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of Pakistan- TEST SERIES- Jan 16 to 28, 2025

    I really do think there is a risk of the art of not losing one's head, leaving the ball, and building an innings goes out of the game somewhat if tests keep being played on such bowler friendly pitches (this is a criticism of recent Australian pitches too). Success has primarily been achieved by...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of Pakistan- TEST SERIES- Jan 16 to 28, 2025

    What a farce. If you have one Test out of the two on a minefield sure, but to not reward proper batsmanship throughout the series is really poor.

    Would love to know what prompted Liam Scott at four.

    I don't think that will stop them batting him at eight judging by their overtures. If the pitches are looking catastrophic then I'm not totally against #batdeep. Also given Head is landing it pretty well of late.

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of Pakistan- TEST SERIES- Jan 16 to 28, 2025

    Are the matches being streamed on YouTube in some region?

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of Pakistan- TEST SERIES- Jan 16 to 28, 2025

    Yes of course, but a rank turner brings Motie into the game to the point where if you can streak your way to 200, that might be enough. Much easier prospect for your batting than matching 450 on a road.

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of Pakistan- TEST SERIES- Jan 16 to 28, 2025

    Surely roads would favour Pakistan. Surprised they look like they might be preparing pitches similar to the ones they beat England on, given the team selection. West Indies' vulnerabilities very different to England's

    Do you think SL might not cook the pitches too badly this time around? They've managed to put together a pretty effective pace attack as of late. That 2016 series when our batters fell in a heap against Herath and Dilruwan was the last very bad subcontinent series we've put in. Since then we've...

    Glad to see we are back Steve Smith / Cameron White / Marcus North areas once more.
