Cricket Season Thread

Or does Greg Chappell sound like me ?
Yes, I’ve heard him discuss similar things, especially playing the arc from mid off to
mid on but they were part of the batting basics for many years. HT.
No one had dibs on them !

I'm glad you took it the right way ... after posting I hoped you hadn't taken it based on the run of ducks v the Windies lol 😆

The big bash is a good fill between test cricket and the NRL season kicking off, but a lopsided game is a total turn off and we have had a few this year. Unlike in years gone by there seems to be a bigger gap between the good sides and the not so good sides. Maybe when the test players re join their franchises things may change.

Uzzie set to retire from Test cricket after the SCG Test. Here’s hoping he can go out on a good one 🤞.

Uzy should go into cricket administration asap.

Will be interesting to see the crowd reaction to Uzi after that very interesting press conference

Why do you say that?

The overall result Australia vs The country that invented the game ( England )
Australia 155 wins 97 draws
England 113 wins 97 draws
A 42 test margin significant !

Bcoz he seems like a fair, honest, caring, decent person. He answers are usually measured, thoughtful, polite and respectful, but he still calls it as he sees it.
He also has an interest in the future of the game and how it is managed for both players and fans.
The fans are the players after all.

Fair enough. Too much of a victim for mine. As he said he can go play as much gold as he wants now.

Be thankful without them you wouldn't have a reason to keep putting out statistics 😉

Yeah I didn’t see the whole retirement media speech (50 mins I heard?), but yeah , a mate said a similar thing about the golf/back injury and racial abuse or something? I’m not sure,and I’m not sure how golf injuries relate to someone’s race but my answer was I can’t say as I am not Muslim having the opportunity to grow up in Oz, I don’t soc-med, or work in a field where everyone watches me work and gets to have a say on the quality of output.
But I can say this; people need to harden up and/or people need to pull their heads in.
Uzzy was done a year ago and if we had the quality to replace him we would have. I hope he goes out on a ton.

Another player who did nothing to warrant going out on his own terms.
