Re: Ash Barty - The ultimate sports person

Immensely impressive young lady and the consumate professional. Great example for any athlete. If only that goofy moron who seems more intent on putting on a clown show and showing off his little trick shots would learn from her.

Also was impressed by DeMinaur.

Re: Whats going on with NWM?

The club really needs to invest in a better media department. There's one channel I follow on Youtube which is really high quality and he does weekly reviews of the Saints and it's as good a quality as anything the club produces. Given inside access he could be a real asset but instead we mostly get...

On another point I wouldn't like to see my captain after a thrashing being matey with the opposition and getting moved on by police at 6am. Joe Root's body language and his entire team's demeanour at times during the series was really embarrassing. Obviously I'm not thinking that Root should be cha...

Thanks, SG.

Love seeing Beefy so salty after the game.

He's right as well the entire series was pretty embarrassing.

Bangladesh would put up more fight.

Re: ASHES 21/22

I've sort of just had it on in the background while doing other things so I might have missed it but am I crazy or has Lyon not bowled an over in this test?

Re: ASHES 21/22

People rave about Stokes with his mid-30 bowling and batting, just wait until Green has 10-20 Tests under his belt and averages high 20s with the ball and high 30s / low 40s with the bat. Stokes mediocrity will stand out then! Totally agree. Green if he stays healthy is going to make Stokes look li...

303 - against this England outfit? = 553!!

My guess..England all out for 79 by the close.
Amazingly aside from the score this was an overestimation of their innings.

30 overs left.

Shambles of a team.

Re: AFLW Standard

I played state soccer as a kid and we'd play the Matildas in warm ups for the Nationals and we flogged them every game. This was U/15 level.

I'm guessing if you threw any state U/16 side into the AFLW they'd probably beat every team 100 to 0.

Hope you're right SG.

How about that a run out wicket within the first 15 minutes of a test innings. Never seen that before.

What a shambles of a team.

Re: ASHES 21/22

I love a Hobart test.

It's a nice comfy, cosy suburban ground with a grassed area.

Just watching Lyon smash a six into the grassy knoll is getting me all nostalgic.

Re: ASHES 21/22

Green is the Aussie cricket Max King for me. So excited.

Boy if Carey continues to find form do we bat deep. Even our tail is capable of great batting.

Green deserves a century. Come on longshanks.

Re: ASHES 21/22

I thought it was a perfect declaration. Enough runs on the board to just about put victory out of the English reach -- though Headingley of course would have been in the back of all their minds -- and more than enough overs to bowl them out. We fell one wicket short. Ho-hum. Great captaincy from Cum...

Re: ASHES 21/22

You have to be forward thinking with your selection. Khawaja is a 35 year old who has scored a couple of hundreds in essentially a dead rubber and has repeatedly failed when the heat is on. He averages 23 away from home. You need to invest time into test players and his time is up and has been for a...

Honestly is there anything worse than this type of day? I can handle a rained out day but this on again off again stuff where no one batting or bowling generates any rhythm is painful.

Hopefully Usman has a big day and gives the selectors no excuse not to replace Harris with him at the top of the order in Hobart. Really hope that our selection isn't thinking of giving a 35 year old more game time over a youngster. Admittedly Harris has struggled at times but there has been bright...

It's just embarrassing now. The Simpsons meme of the kid crying as Homer beats up the Hamburglar comes to mind.
