    ***Official*** Australia in the West Indies 2012

    Just noticed that Forrest is also in the T20 side, hoping that's just an error of some sort.

    Dravid Likely to Retire

    Sad but not really surprised, Dravid without doubt is my favourite Indian cricketer ever. His talent and record speaks for itself so nothing much left for me to add there but the thing that made me admire him was his ability to mould himself into any role given to him within the team even if it...

    Australian Domestic Season 2011-12

    Not sure how exactly that's a problem, all these blokes are young and talented and have done well for their sides in the past, the whole point of having a domestic structure is to have a system that constantly produces good players for the national side. If we start dropping these players of...

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    Mckay here discovering the joys of actually bowling from the front of the hand but the real star without doubt has been Binga.

    Australian Domestic Season 2011-12

    Rain might be a factor but this has been going on for the last two-three seasons now and also can't understand why flat pitches at the domestic level should be a problem because that's what they are eventually going to get at the international level as well.

    Australian Domestic Season 2011-12

    Spinners and batsmen would only look as good as the conditions they are playing in allow them to, on a green or damp track one just can't expect batsmen to score a lot of runs or the spinners to have any impact and that's what's happening in Shield cricket atm, so its pretty unfair to bag these...

    They apparently are resting their test bowlers for tests against England.

    Australian Domestic Season 2011-12

    Not that its nothing new now but three FC games starting on the same day and all three sides batting first getting rolled over for sub-standard totals is not a great advert for Shield cricket or the kind of conditions its being played in. Its basically taking the batsmen and spinners out of the...

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    Have to be said that only our batting line-up can perform like this on such a good batting track against an attack that at best is steady.

    DC..!! The game is more or less gone but hopefully Christian can provide some respectability to the total.

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    I am not debating Starc' potential all I'm saying is these selectors are totally driven by current performances so for them a player is only as good as his last game which is a disastrous way of picking a side.

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    Mate they have benched the guy with best SR in this series so a bloke like Starc who took 5 wkts @ 40 never stood much of a chance.

    If this is the amount of confidence the management had in Forrest then why did they pick him in the XI?!

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    Hoping you soon come out with a book of your cricketing philosophies so all of us poor amateurs can then broaden our knowledge about the game.

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    With our attack today anything less than 320 would be very hard to defend and given the way are going atm we aren't going to get anywhere near that.

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    Who in there right mind would try to hit the spinners down the ground with those pint sized square boundaries.

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    Last time I checked Wade had 3 half centuries to his name in this series despite batting all around the batting order, one would have thought that's a pretty decent effort from a man still finding his feet in international cricket.

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    So basically we're playing three spinners on a flat deck against a sub-continental side on a ground with short boundaries, frankly speaking whoever is making these tactics deserves a pay-raise!!
