    Tim Paine

    He speaks well, and projects integrity. But I must say I have been disappointed in his captaincy (the latest ****-up was his declaration on Sunday which showed no feel for the wider game), his referrals (which cost an Ashes series win), his batting, and especially his keeping (which was meant...

    Phil Hughes - Five Years On

    Important to remember today's anniversary of a promising, young international cricketer passing away on the field of play in a FC game He embodied the future. He was young, had a flourishing back lift, and was on the verge of a Test recall. Forever young. One of the good things to emerge...

    Warnie - Please Stop

    This was the final staw for me I am so over Shane Warne trying to prove his loyalty to Michael Clarke, and trying to show everyone that they're great mates...no matter the cost to Australian cricket It's like he can't talk about anything else other than Clarke; and can't stomach the fact that...

    THe Gabba - An International Cricketing Backwater

    The treatment by Cricket Australia (CA) of the Gabba is bordering on farcical, and is seriously alienating everyone who loves cricket here in Queensland… This Summer has been pitiful: We didn’t host even one of the five games in the ODI series against South Africa On top of that, we didn’t...

    Foxtel Turns Off the Tap

    Oh no Not only will there be no coverage of the England summer, but Fox has yet to committ to televising our series in the UAE against Pakistan The non coverage of overseas Tests going forward (with the presumed exception of the Ashes) would be a hammer blow to cricket in Australia It would...

    Howardj Presents - Ashes Aftermath; Australian Cricket Under the Microscope

    Only a few more sleeps to go now, boys - until my State of the Nation essay is released. Have opted against serialising it. :laugh: I believe next weekend is a long weekend, so have pushed the 1 May release date back until the evening of 2 May. It's 7000+ words so far. Having real troubles...

    Australia Announce New Captain and Vice Captain
