    2023-24 Australian domestic cricket season

    McAndrew is just a really impressive cricketer isn't he? Runs in hard all day, good consistent pace and a more than useful bat Epitome of consistency

    2023-24 Australian domestic cricket season

    I suppose the main question might be is he a better option than Mitch Marsh? You'd feel Webster's only opportunity to play is to bat 6 and bowl a few useful overs. Great, versatile fielder too Certainty looks a serious player, and similar ability to Marsh in that he can just go through the gears...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Just casually dropping into this thread and wondering how Southee is still playing this format??? Great test bowler, but he was never even that good to begin with in T20s? If he was a gun in his earlier days then I could maybe understand persevering with him. Is this too simplistic an...

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    Spot on. Both of them should be in the squad at the very least Bairstow is just way too 'feast or famine' for me, and in these conditions, bluntly speaking, he's just not good enough. Actually think Livingstone could have been a decent bolter for this tour. Plays spin well and his bowling has...

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    Yeah Jimmy is on his last legs now. Give him a farewell test in the summer, but let's look at alternatives now. I honestly don't think he's the best option these days The likes of Potts, Sam Cook, Fisher, Tongue and Atkinson absolutely need some game time in the next 12 months They're the next...

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    I'd make the analogy of comparing BazBall to undertaking a new job. Let's say 12 hour shifts 6 days a week. Sure, at first you can get by on the novelty factor like new colleagues and a different culture - maybe a really likeable boss. You also get by on sheer adrenaline. It's all-encompassing...

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    There is a young quick who I saw in the WBBL called Milly Illingworth. Very slingy action reminiscent of Thomson. I wonder if she based her action on him? Good pace too. Was hitting 120ks regularly

    Joe Root takes a dump on the pitch mid innings Duckett : "He's earnt the right to do that. Baz has said that we have to expressive ourselves and not take a backward step to the opposition"

    Ollie Robinson is that rare breed of cricketer who's IQ is lower than their bowling average

    ***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

    Duh how'd I miss Maxwell... I thought Labu was around the T20 squad is he not? My thinking is maybe they pick him for a WC, but I'm happy to have got that totally wrong. Wouldn't Hardie be very much in contention? Would imagine he's ahead of Green for T20 selection EDIT : I see Labu's only...

    Warner, Short, Marsh, Labu, Inglis, David/Hardie, Wade. Lock that top 7 in for the WC. Either add Hardie for David if you want some additional bowling. JFM first reserve

    21st century ball of the century.

    Anderson to Braithwaite. Think it was the 2015 series in the Windies. Big booming in-swinger cleans him up. Absolutely unplayable

    Fair play. Looks a unit anyway

    Bartlett is seriously top heavy Build of an NFL linebacker

    Hot take : I don't think Brendon McCullum is all that as a coach. I genuinely don't. And BazBall will completely implode my this time next year

    Bartlett is decent tbf. Good upside

    Quiet one for Renshaw or straight on the beers?

    2023-24 Big Bash League

    Congrats Heat. Easily the best team in the comp. Such a well-rounded unit. Power hitters, accumulators, excellent squad depth, top notch quicks and canny spinners

    Very good point tbh

    2023-24 Big Bash League

    Should have opened with Murphy tbh. He's such a gun bowler. For an offie with no real variations, his control of length is exemplary. He also just looks like he has a big-game temperament Major error from the Sixers braintrust
