    ***Official Australia in India***

    I find if the worst you can say about a batsman is he's not Bradman he's doing something right.

    Do you like Andrew Symonds?

    All Saints is what we'd call a private school. It's probably around the median in terms of academic reputation of private schools in the area, and probably much better than the public schools. Having attended a private school of similar quality one suburb over, I can tell you that the 'bogan'...

    Wither Australia? Not Likely....

    Well, comparing club cricket with Super 14 isn't exactly fair, super 14 teams represent entire states, with all the infrastructure and potential fan base that entails. Club rugby union gets appallingly small crowds, I was one of the few with memberships to the ill fated national club competition...

    Wither Australia? Not Likely....

    You would have thought wrong. Cricket is the main sport in that it's the most followed equally all over the country. Australian Rules is still provincial (WA, SA, TAS, VIC), as is Rugby League (QLD, NSW), they are both huge but skew geographically. Union is not as big as League, but has a bit...

    Probably been done but: Mud XI for each nation?

    From my viewing era. AUS Test XI 351 WN Phillips Australia v India at Perth, 1991/92 368 MTG Elliott Australia v West Indies at Brisbane, 1996/97 372 S Young England v Australia at The Oval, 1997 367 GB Hogg India v Australia at Delhi, 1996/97 356 BP Julian England v Australia at...

    *Official* Australia in decline thread

    There's a good chance it would work, Haddin played some very Gilchrist like innings early in his domestic career opening the batting. It's not random at all, there's reasoning behind it, no one's rolling 11-sided dice to choose an opener. Gilchrist wasn't random either, and as far as I know he...

    *Official* Australia in decline thread

    How is it random? You play him there in a couple of meaningless ODI's, see how it works out. That would hurt no one.

    *Official* Australia in decline thread

    He's a FC opener by trade but has stated he's happy in the test middle order, and who can argue with the results? As far as OD, he's never been an opener really, not for WA and hence not for AUS. For the better part of a decade he's been filling the Bevan role for WA, and doing it pretty well...

    Hogg announces his retirement

    Doherty doesn't have a shot? He took more OD wickets than any other spinner this season.

    Hayden calls Harbhajan an obnoxious weed

    Fitting, Gilly did actually win a series in India as Captain, unlike the others mentioned. Him or Bill Lawry, but everyone lately seems a little spiteful towards old Bill and his overt partialities.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    Looks like getting to 300 ODI wickets by the end of the series, he'll be the fastest to that milestone by a ways. Shoe-in for the AB medal too? If he'd made the World Cup maybe.

    ***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2007/08

    How many of those final bids represented the players' actual on-field value in your opinion? Can we confirm that the bidders had seen any of that innings, i can't imagine it didn't inflate his eventual price if they did.

    David Hussey Petition

    Link is a problem, but I will sign it a million times. Ever since this http://aus.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2003-04/AUS_LOCAL/PC/SCORECARDS/NSW_VIC_PC_09-12JAN2004.html he should have been playing, that's the dark arts.

    So Laxman gave up over a million (15% more than Symonds as an Icon right?) so he could captain Hyderabad. Good on him. Is he not married? Going through a divorce? -Ba Dum Ching-.

    Indian Premier League

    I guess they think McGrath has nothing to add with the bat or in the field, but Mike Hussey ought to be worth something. Yousuf is the most glaring considering Dravid and Kallis went for so much. He's the equal of them in test cricket, but has more than one gear and knows how to play the shorter...

    Good work, 675,000 to my man, Mrs Cricket. 100 off 60 against NSW today worth about half a million?

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Anyone hear Richie suggest that Steve Bucknor was eating lunch back in Jamaica, with sacrificial lamb at the top of the menu? I guess we know how he feels now.
