    Yasir Shah: Century Man

    Best leggy without a Keith in his name since O'Reilly and Grimmett. I look forward to seeing him play in Australia this season. Hoping to see him bowl live.

    cricketing narratives that aren't true

    I get what Flem is saying. Harris went under the radar for pretty much all of his cricket. Was on course to be one of the better ODI bowlers if we ever actually used him, for example. But you just can not detract from the Johnson factor in that series. I've never seen anything like it or the...

    Australian Test Selection 2016/2017

    Well the other player in the discussion is Pat Cummins.

    Australian Test Selection 2016/2017

    And NUFAN to answer your query on the 'fallout' of the Sri Lanka tour. Everything to do with public negative comments from the Australian captain towards his spinner and the obvious grooming of Adam Zampa. I wouldn't be surprised to see the pitch used as an excuse for no specialist spin option...

    Australian Test Selection 2016/2017

    If Starc is out of the WACA test you'd think Behrendorff (if he gets through the Matador unscathed) is the obvious replacement. The only thing with that is it leaves them with a very UnAustralian long tail. If Lyon was selected in this attack you'd very likely see our entrenched #11 of the...

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

    Stacking the batting and retaining Guptill is probably the most pointless selection decision I've seen since Agar in England.

    Surely Williamson comes in for Guptill.

    A Question No One Here Would Dare Ask

    Please tell me that's not meant to be Azhar Mahmood.

    Why a relative lack of great left arm pace bowlers?

    Apparently he was also a very, very handy right handed tennis player as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_s8zAPOETA

    Australian Test Selection 2016/2017

    I definitely wouldn't be calling Lyon a certainty for Perth after the fall out from the Sri Lanka tour.

    Australian Domestic Season 2016/17

    Victoria playing with only 1 genuine seamer + Christian and Stoinis. Will be a spin fest in the 2nd innings of this game featuring Holland, Fawad, Beer and Maxwell.

    Worked well for Guptill.

    Australian Domestic Off Season 2016

    Well he's hardly going to play ahead of SOK and Lyon./

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

    Well he's hacked a better FC record than Guptill and scored 107 more in his last innings.

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

    How on earth is it obvious to open with the bloke who averages about 20 against actual test standard cricket sides?

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

    I don't understand this at all.

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

    First rate logic dropping your reserve opening batsman after Guptill just scored 7, 8 and 0.

    ***Official*** New Zealand tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa 2016

    So stoked for Sean Williams. What a gun.

    Matthew Wade

    Agreed. His keeping just isn't up to scratch. There isn't a lot to choose from besides Nevill. Maybe reverting to Tim Paine or even trialling Whiteman when he is fit. I really don't like Bancroft playing in this game. Part time keeper and not too suited to T20 cricket at this point of his...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

    YOung keeper with 8 dismissals thus far.
