    Samuels banned for 6 years

    He’s retired anyway but seems like either he took cash/gift during a t10 tournament or failed to cooperate with investigators so they found him guilty as charged https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/3792488

    New coaching methods

    Rather than playing matches in lead up to a tournament, I decided to get coaching for first time in about 35 years just to hit balls First half of session 1: tennis net laid on a good length The thinking is that net will cause ball to deviate from line and speed Second half: tennis net...

    Cricket balls

    Recently had my first experience with playing with an English cricket ball in years It was a Duke but obviously not the test ball as village level Ball swung all day While bowlers found it easier to grip due to higher seam, they also said that it was very “tacky” as it was covered in thick...

    Surfing

    Now a mainstream sport as it will be in the Olympics for the first time in 2020 and is allegedly the world's fastest growing sport The latter is not surprising as it is very cheap (a 2nd hand board can be bought for $5 and entry to the water is free), great fun and most of the earth is water...

    Growing up, the Olympics were massive and much of the world would be glued to their televisions for the duration This year's doesnt have anything like that feeling and, at best, is just another sporting event to me and to others that I have spoken to I'm not sure whether it's due to the...

    Australia and their approach to T20s

    I don't think that there's any doubt that Oz has a depth of cricketing talent that is the envy of many countries yet we struggle to win meaningless matches let alone a WC in this format To put it bluntly, whatever we are doing simply isn't working and we are ranked where we should be I believe...

    Jake Doran

    Have seen him bat 3 times and IF he can play short-pitched, quick bowling (and tbf, he looked pretty ordinary against MJ early doors) then we might have a real gem on our hands From a technical perspective, he is waaaayyyy better than SMarsh, Khawaja, Hughes (RIP) and Warner (unfair comparison...
