    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

    Australian fans deserve better than a team bereft of bowling talent. We need two tiers of cricket with India, Australia and England playing tests against each other and the rest playing tests among themselves. Boxing Day should not be wrecked by sub-standard teams like Pakistan and Sri Lanka who...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

    Pakistan used to produced good bowlers. The production line has dried up.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    The game is basically over already though. It is not as if Australia will be bowling anyone the equivalent of Maharaj.

    Pickle juice.

    Has SA got a better keeper?

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    Sometimes the opposition, occasion and conditions just align perfectly for someone. It also seems to happen frequently that someone on the precipice gets the runs at the critical time.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    Quotas? This has been disappointing from the Proteas attack, not one wicket with the ball and playing against a guy who was under so much pressure to hold his spot. Rabada seems to have declined since the last time he came out to these shores. Nortje for all his pace can't break through. I...

    *Official* South Africa in New Zealand 2022

    With a slightly better team though. Petersen looked to be their best bat. Ngidi and Nortje would improve their bowling. Looks to be their nadir though with QDK a huge loss.

    4th Test at Sydney (?) - Jan 5-9 2022

    Dead rubber runs.

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    By his standards against a third string attack we may have expected more.

    3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

    In someone's demented dreams, though he is making merry in these benign conditions. He's behind Healy, Haddin and Marsh and he's a supercilious ****.

    3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

    They were not identical twins though.

    Which era had the better bowlers?

    Modern day attacks do seem to suffer from injuries and sometimes rotation more though. Guess that's all part of the IPL and T20 circuses. Fatigue sets in. What about the fact that Crowe didn't have the bigger bats or enjoy the shorter boundaries that Williamson does?

    Maybe Afghanistan would have provided more interest this summer.

    What a damp squib of a summer. Thanks NZ.

    Good to see the last pair showing some resistance.

    Will be interesting to see if Paine enforces the follow-in. Conditions are a bit draining, but will be much hotter the next two days.

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    We Victorians deserve better as a contest than the rubbish NZ has served up in the most iconic test on the calendar. Ian Chappell is right, the test rankings are nonsense. The SA discard is a very good bowler, but their attack is way below Australia's. Am surprised how meekly their bats have...

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    It is the first time it's happened since 1888.

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    SA's brittle batting strikes again. Elgar is unreliable, Amla's on the wane and Duminy and Bavuma appear undroppable despite repeated poor performances. Think Faf might have erred though by batting first in overcast conditions on a greenish pitch. NZ has outplayed them all test.
