    Re build your team of T20 hacks

    Well done England and Pakistan. But the rest probably need to clean out their T20 teams. I know people are already talking about where there teams screwed up so perhaps you can nominate your squads. For Australia the rebuilding should've begun soon after the last WC. When in form a team like...

    Alan Davidson 1929 - 2021

    Arguably Australia’s greatest all rounder passes away. Apologies I see Ed has posted this already.

    Cricketing clangers.

    What are some of your worst moments in cricket punditry or play? I have a few and I've mentioned the worst when watching Australia play England at the Gabba. A young McGrath was bowling short to Thorpe who hooked him high high high between square and fine. That clinched it for me so I turned to...

    Smith - Archer

    I haven’t caught up with all of the Lords test thread but have seen talk about whether Archer has Smith’s number. Archer’s bowling has been impressive, more so when he’s kept it up and achieved seam. He’s been hard to face but felt his bouncer sometimes released pressure until late yesterday...

    Players you don't want to see in your side's XI

    Handscomb. Been worked out and now getting worked over. Stoinis. Dud. Maxie. Coulda shoulda woulda. Didn't. Special mention to the Marsh's. Maybe still some value for odis but not tests though I think a fit S Marsh ... Ok he's no chance.

    A thread for this yet? If not who do you reckon and who would you pick?

    Shaun Marsh

    Injured. Well knock me over with a feather (and spend the next 2 months in physio).

    Mitch Starc

    Great rep with the white ball though not as good with the red. We have some pretty knowledgeable cricketers and followers on here and I would like to read people's opinions on why Starc isn't as good with the red ball as the white. I've seen him bowl high 140s in ltd overs cricket with late...

    Favourite cricket pictures

    My favourite is the joy shown by the West Indian cricketers when running out Kline (I think) at the tied test. Guess I should link it but you've probably all seen it. Plus I'm a klutz.

    Cricket Authours

    Recently just home from a book shop sneakily skimming through a few cricket books. I wished I didn't do it but I picked up one of Perry's awful books about Bradman. Opinion reaffirmed I hid it behind a CLR James' classic. Driving home I thought of my favourite cricket writers and with respect to...

    Australia 1st test candidates

    Assuming Rogers Warner Watson Smith Haddin Johnson Harris and Lyon are certs that leaves a pace bowler and 2 middle order spot open. Of course this assumes Clarke really is busted for the summer as some recent reports are recanting on the earlier headline that he is out for the India series...

    Next moves by the new world order

    Now that the big 3 have cornered the cricket market what will be their first moves apart from making themselves richer? Can see the DRS being reviewed and cancelled.

    Jimmy Anderson: Imminent revival or terminal decline?

    There has been sporadic talk around the forum about Anderson's form but I haven't found a thread dedicated to it. Sorry in advance if this topic has been raised. Imo he isn't finished mainly bcos I think his gun speeds are still pretty good. His current form can't be explained by him bowling in...

    Piers Morgan bowled Lee no score 3 bruises

    Tea time break and Morgan backed up his boast to face Lee. Lee smacked him 3 times and bowled him once. Was surprised at the heat Lee worked up. Reckoned he was 80%. Morgan spent most of his time in the square leg pocket of the net. Anyone here face Thompson or at least some seriously quick?

    Bradman effect

    I posted on another thread a comment that Bradman was basically a victim of his own success whenever someone tries to deconstruct his career. Statements were made about the dubious class of the bowlers he faced inspite of the fact no other Aussie batsman of the era got even half his average...
