Been out of town so only got to watch/listen to small snippets. So happy for my man Beau Webster, been a big fan of him for the last couple years and he’s been banging down the door to the test team harder than anyone else in Shield cricket the last 2 seasons. Looked really good batting in the...

You could apply that to literally any player. Shield is the best indicator available and should therefore be used. McSweeney is a 3/4 not an opener however he managed to score more runs over the first 3 tests than Khawaja 🤷‍♂️. Also Webster has bowled to Nitish Reddy (Indias 2nd highest run...

Webster is a quality all rounder. He is the second ever player after Sir Garfield Sobers to score 900 runs and take 30 wickets in a Sheffield Shield Season. This form has continued into this year (although he is not topping tables due to being in the test squad and missing games). What part of...

Except Webster was brought in as an all-rounder and is probably best described as a batting all-rounder by his stats and is replacing another batting all-rounder in the line-up. Additionally, your suggestion of Sean Abbott has a strike of 58.7 compared to Websters 64.8, literally a one over...

I’m thinking if Marsh gets dropped it’s highly likely he will be replaced an all-rounder or bowling all-rounder (someone like neser if he wasn’t injured) because it’s a fairly short turnaround into the last test of a 5 test series so I’m sure Starc and Cummins might be feeling it a bit and it...

I get you don’t like Lyon but you can’t ignore the fact he had a good game. He took 5 wickets for the match so given we have 4 bowlers (+ allrounders) that’s pretty much par. For comparison Jadeja who would be India’s equivalent of Lyon only got 4 wickets and Sundar only got one. Additionally he...

Scotty right on cue

Taken 2 catches this innings surely that’s good enough for a recall 🙄

He has a career bowling average of 21 (better than all of our pacemen I’m pretty sure). In this test he got our best figures in the first innings taking wickets of Kohli and Pant (and Deep). He also hasn’t got out allowing us to score 80 runs in this test for the 10th wicket partnership. If he...

Did someone say we need Marnus to bowl. No? Well he’s bowling anyway just before tea.

Are we seriously bringing Mitch Marsh on now 🤦‍♂️. Great first ball… not.

Probably needed to try a bit harder. 2 down 8 to go.

Then backed it up with a solitary wicket (of the number 11 batsman) and a golden duck in the next innings. Looks like an exciting game unfolding though with South Africa needing 32 runs and Pakistan 2 wickets for the win.

I think you're right in that the team won't change pending Hazlewood's fitness. However, I'd say if Smith does not score some significant runs in the next game he should undoubtedly be on the chopping block. Personally looking at the stats I think Kurtis Patterson has to be seriously in the...

Terrell’s back with his third vid, seems like it’s a weekly upload every Monday at 5pm NSW time. Unfortunately, it seems he’s now going down the clickbait path with this title, but I think this is the best video so far training wise. Some takeaways if you didn’t want to watch: - He’s returning...

New video uploaded to his YouTube.

10 years ago today at the SCG, NSW played South Australia in the Sheffield Shield. During the first innings SA had managed to reach a total of 2/136 on the back of their opener, Australian test cap #408 Phil Hughes, until tragically he was struck in the neck by a Sean Abbott bouncer in the 49th...

So, what I got from that is that some committee wants to introduce a draft to level out the competition because the salary cap is apparently not working, but also, said committee consists of the roosters coach, storm general manager, and panthers rugby league chief. How did these teams go in...
