    The legend that is Chappelli

    I'd never heard of Ian Chappell when I first started watching cricket in 1978-79 and it’s amazing that I became a cricket tragic considering the thrashing that England gave Australia that year. Probably the only thing that saved my cricket watching career was all of the hype and advertising that...

    Unrecognised Match Tribute

    I still don’t think its fair that the ICC World XI vs Australia is counted as legitimate test records when the 1971-72 World XI vs Australia and the 1977-79 Packer WSC Supertests are not.......... Accordingly, I thought I’d see what the records would look like if they were counted. I’ll start...

    Australia's 400th Cricketer

    Chris Rogers is now Australia's 399th Test Cricketer, so who's willing to provide some odds on who will be the 400th..... Will it be an Australian "youngster" like Ben Hilfenhaus (24), Luke Pomersbach (23) or Cullen Bailey (22), or another oldie like Adam Vogues (28), David Hussey (30), Brad...

    Once in a Generation Players

    I found it interesting that there appears to always be one player of each generation that is clearly above all the rest….. .....So, I thought I’d list the Aussie Batsmen who have passed the “baton of greatness” 1899-1912: Victor Trumper (debut at age 21) 1907-1926: Charles Macartney (21)...

    Is the retirement of players too fake

    Is the "Decision" of players too fake So, we have Vaughan conveniently announcing his resignation as ODI Captain...then we have Pietersen announcing that he's not yet ready to Captain England and excusing himself so that Collingwood can be appointed..... Has England established a "Saving Face"...

    The "What If " Game

    Rules are simple, just state an ideal time that a Player should have retired to be considered a much greater player statistically then present (must have been at the end of a series though, no Hussain like theatrics allowed). I'll start with an easy one with Geoff Boycott: 1978 (after NZ...
