I just find this depressing as a fan. Hopefully india rip through us so i can see some proper bowling.

To out myself as a disgusting hypocrite my favourite player in limited over cricket is mitchell starc (he is as petulant as anyone in world cricket) because he actually tries to take wickets with quick bowling. My least favourite bowler is faulkner because just look at the weird poo poo he bowls


Its awful to watch, these garbage out the back of the hand slower balls shot of a length outside off, then he looks shocked when Dhoni tries to murder him for bowling that trash. I hate the tactic of stacking the off-side then bowling as wide and as slow as you can get away with.

I always thought Fleming was a fantastic captain, he never had much to work with in terms of player talent but he could still upset a top team.

I can't remember what series it was, but I remember a Fleming captained NZ getting Martyn out over and over again getting caught in gully where they had about 4 fielders and just bowled short outside off, sucked him in every time (I never liked Martyn). Fleming always seemed to the better than he should have with the team he had. This could be due to my bad memory.

It’s my fault, I always attend the most boring days of test cricket. Sitting in the Members area and the most exciting thing to happen was a glass smashed and full punch on. Amazing never before seen event according to those around me.

I can't remember any of them but I usually think Langer's opinions on things are wrong.

It's the way he speaks which I can't stand, makes you really question his intelligence.

I understand that if they lengthened their run-up, they would just run further but still leap into the delivery stride at the same time, but, they could adjust and leap into that delivery stride slightly earlier?

It feels wrong when you're coming into the crease and wrecks your delivery stride

Does it feel any worse or wreck your delivery more than losing a wicket to a needless no ball?

Well that's the thing you have to train to get your run up right, changing it mid game is going to result in poo poo deliveries due to feeling awkward.

Wade just went out to bat and forgot to put his outer and inner thigh pads on, proceeded to dack himself in the middle of the field and pad up two overs after he went in.

Looks like its got more to do with the block the MCG drop in sits on is just concrete, while the Perth/Adelaide decks have newer porous trays, which the MCG is switching to for next season.

They had some Langer call-in happening on SEN this morning, first guy who rings up does the "how many runs/tests have these administrators in CA made/played compared to ARE JUSTIN!! He know more about cricket than any of them!!" schtick.

I'm sure everyone would agree Shane Warne should be coach of Australia and CEO of CA until someone plays cricket better than him and retires.
