    Australia/New Zealand motorsport thread

    Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while. You are not wrong though, bloke was absolute money in A1GP, him and Hulkenberg were definitely the two standouts in what was certainly a quality field. Definitely a bit odd (and disappointing) that his career kinda stalled after that, as far as I...

    Who is cricket's greatest alpha character?

    Might as well just lock the thread now, nobody will have any better answer than this

    Ugliest and best looking international stadium

    I have always found the Chinnaswamy stadium to be particularly ugly, even more so than Dehli. Monolithic yet ramshackle, just a horrid looking ground Never liked Trent Bridge much either. Especially that weird bit at the end of the grandstand that seeming has a view of nothing but the side of...

    Bad cricketers who played too long

    Glad someone has mentioned Devon Smith, the first name that came to mind pretty much immediately when I saw this thread Wasn't even close to test class, but in WI domestic cricket he was pretty much always amongst the runs in an era when pretty much nobody else was. Was a real cycle for a...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Speaking from an Australian point of view, I hate this every bit as much as you do. Would be absolutely taking the piss to see him playing for England. Can't actually see it happening though. He's 32 (will be 33 by the time it is a possibility), is definitely half a yard slower than he was at...

    Australia/New Zealand motorsport thread

    I definitely think Penske as a team have #questionstoanswer over the whole situation there, but to see people questioning McLaughlin's talent due to that (which I did see a little bit of online) is just nonsense. Was glad to see him put in such a top class performance Also, not Aus/NZ related...

    Longevity

    I see Slater and raise you with Gabriele Tarquini. Won the 2018 World Touring Car cup at 56, still winning races by the time he finally hung up his helmet at 59 in 2021. Even older still is Carlos Sainz Sr (not the F1 driver, his dad) winning this years Dakar Rally at 61. It will be 34 years...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Ehh, the main reason I find this so infuriating is that I actually believed his legspin could have been vaugely useful had he kept working on it. Not ever full time quality, but a useful change option. But instead he has decided to try his hand at this absolute crap. Just a horrid sight

    Worst Player to Play 100 Tests?

    I have a higher opinion of Lee than some others here, but he definitely underacheived quite significantly in Test cricket. As for the actual question, the answer will be Bairstow by a country mile as of soon. Two great years a decent distance apart, consistently short of Test standard any time...
