    Smith to take North spot at No 6 for Aus test team

    Given part of the reason to pick North was his part time tweaking, then Smith for North would make good sense. Unfortunately Marcus North just has never grabbed me as solid number 6. Watson Katich Ponting Clarke Hussey Smith Haddin Johnson Hauritz Siddle/Harris Bollinger

    Nickname for Aussie Cricket Team

    Most aussie sports teams have a nickname, even all the state cricket teams have them now. So it is about time the national side had one. How about The Hammers. Short for Sledgehammers....

    Appeal for Bucknor

    Leaving aside the whether Harbajhan trial was fair, at least he got one and was allowed to mount a defence and have people speak on his behalf. He has the BCCI clearly advocating and looking out for his interest in the halls of power in world cricket. He is also getting an appeal and gets to...

    Real culprit of world cricket farce....

    ICC Short List for Umpires of the Year 2007

    Simon Taufel won it but wait for the 2 other nominees..... Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson. Hmmm who'd be an umpire? Would note that Taufel has dominated the awards and the obvious diference between him and others is his age.

    Lee and Clarke are a given. Johnson is a project player and I think the selectors wil give him a longer run as long as we keep winning. So that leaves 4th bowler, given the WACA could go fast do we stick with Hogg, pick Tait or give Noffke a go given his recent form (and he could replace Hogg...

    Rogers Di Venuto Katich (c) D Hussey B Hodge Watson Haddin Noffke Hilfenhaus McGain/Macgill (once fit and with Hogg hopefully holding the number one spot.) Tait The obvious question is if this side could crack into the top 5 test nations?

    Greatest influence on Cricket by a non Test player

    Reading the Grace v Bradman post, made me think of who was the greatest influence on cricket never to have played the game at the highest level. My initial suggestion would be.... Kerry Packer.

    Australia tilt at the record

    The current Australian team is currently sitting on the second longest winning (wins without neither loss.draw/tie) at 12 with six home tests coming up and given our home track record, we might get close to breaking our own record of 16. (Incidently they are sitting on the equal fourth longest...

    Hussey v Ponting

    Will Hussey ever be able to overhaul Ponting in terms of status as a batsman? In outright numbers he will never catch up cause will never have the same number of years playing but could he pass him in terms of quality?
