    Vale Bobby Simpson

    Averaged 54 as captain, which includes 77/78 when he came back in his 40/ and averaged 38 or so. From first hand experience, his fielding drills were ****ing hell on earth. He ran some down at Parra years ago after he’d retired as Aus coach and there were blokes lying around on the ground...

    Vale Bobby Simpson

    The boy from Marrickville West Public School has passed away aged 89. One of the greatest to have ever done it. His contribution to post-war Australian cricket is probably second only to Border’s, with whom he worked so well. Vale.

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    aside from maybe the DN test, you do need a spinner here, especially with the team England has. Are you really going to play five right arm seam bowlers? You’re better off playing three plus Stokes plus an extra batsman, because the fourth bloke won’t get a bowl unless stokes is hurt .

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    It would be close to a cricketing miracle if Bashir had good returns in the Ashes. Australia is a graveyard for nearly all visiting spinners, even those who are well credentialed elsewhere. You occasionally find a quick who comes out of nowhere to do well here but I can't recall a spinner who's...

    Tedesco playing like a 25 year old again.

    The Heaviest Ball bowlers of all time

    This is 100% correct, and it usually correlates with blokes getting spliced, which makes you feel even less comfortable facing someone

    Yeah he'd be a decent shout you'd think. Huss maybe as well. Didn't dayboo til he was 30 odd, though I think he was more held back because Aus had so many guns rather than him being thought of as no good.

    This is a really good shout. The back end of his career was miles better than the first half. Was a bit like Gooch, though Gooch tbf was not really considered ordinary at the start, just he got even better with age.

    Just goes to show how truly subjective these things are.

    The vast majority of them are clearly out, and common sense doesn’t prevail. Took an Australian umpire to restore some sanity, as is usually the case.
