    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    Don Bradman not only had Tallon above Lindwall in his Best XI, he thought enough of Tallon's batting to rather controversially nominate him to bat at 6. He supposedly maintained (assuming Perry didn't make the whole thing up) that Tallon was a much better batsman than he ever got the chance to...

    End of the Test road for Symonds

    As if he'd want to play for the A side anyway. In any case, the A team has not been a genuine second XI for a long time.

    Yeah, have to say, 1989 was probably the second series I took a close interest in, after the Windies visit to Australia the previous year, and at the time I thought Alderman was great, but I didn't really appreciate just how fantastic he was in that series. It's only been with the benefit of...

    Full Ashes coverage on FTA

    I find it is the one sporting event that matches, or often exceeds, a good test match for managing to be hypnotically interesting, and yet also ok if you have to get up and go have a meal and come back, and be able to pick up what's gone on very quickly. Tbf however, I didn't really get it at...

    Full Ashes coverage on FTA

    Yep. I went out and bought a set-top box last weekend for the Ashes and Tour. Got one with a recorder because I can't do the 2005 zombie act again - well not every night. In all seriousness, is there anything better than watching 6 hours of test cricket, or 6 hours of Le Tour? While others...

    A.F.L Thread

    Spilled, threw After swearing at him a few times, Dunstall's lunch somehow ended up all over Quartermaine, who fair enough in my opinion then told Dunstall to GTFO of the commentary box, and when he wouldn't went for a walk himself. Was glad Caroline Wilson pointed out how hypocritical the...

    Best Ashes Teams

    As a right now thing, sure. That's a call I'm making in full consciousness (but admittedly without explicitly stating it) that it anticipating future performances. That said, I'm very confident KP will fulfill that anticipation. For Hutton, for these exercises, I dislike selecting players out...

    Best Ashes Teams

    Larwood/Trueman was a line ball one, but I wanted to factor in dominating a series as well as over all record. By that rationale in fact, maybe Tyson should be in there somewhere as well. But Larwood's effort in somewhat quelling Bradman is the stuff of legend. Re Hutton, agreed it's ridiculous...

    Last Man Standing: 2013 AFL Season

    Saints Just checking I understand the rules - can't pick the same team two weeks running, can't pick the 16th team more than once, anything else?
