Having seen the Tongan squad I wouldn't be surprised if the ABs cracked a ton.

The Blues played what was in front of them and did it well. The competition structure is no more their fault than the Boks incredibly favourable 2007 World Cup draw. Brutal. The Boks have won the Steven Bradbury award twice. In 2007 and again in 2019 when they only had to turn up against an overcoo...

Just a tune up for the 5 wickets he's about to take. One thing I've always said about Kane Williamson. When he has an ordinary series against the likes of, say, England, he never does well in the next series. He tends to go out cheaply in his next at bat as well. Agreed... and usually the rest of t...

One thing I've always said about Ishant Sharma. Whenever he scores 2, he gets a 50. Never nicks out, gets caught on the boundary, runs someone out or any other myriad ways of losing his wicket.

Jdog, you larrikin, I'm only ribbing you. :thumbup: No dramas mate. It'd be easy to sit here on my ass and bag the Rebels like most of the rest of the Super Rugby fans do.

One thing I will say about Ashwin is that he is not the sort of player to nick off / be caught / get LWB / caught on the boundary / get run out early.

Have I enraged the mocker Gods?

Quiet in the cheap seats Someone's in a buoyant mood after his side won Super Rugby's second most prestigious title.

If playing cricket under a roof was a good idea the Aussies would be doing it in Melbourne at the Docklands every chance they had. They don't. Weather is an integral part of the game.

There are 31 MLB stadiums of which only one has a permanently closed roof, while another six have retractable roofs.

Cricket is stuck in last century. No other sport would go off for bad light in the world final when you've had massive, fudge off flood lights on since ball one. This guy gets it. What next?

No warm up test and playing in English conditions India are going OK. The draw is still looking like a good bet with there looking to be light and rain issues in coming days I couldn't believe it was paying $1.95. I spunked my knuckle children's college education on it with a ludicrous $5 bet. #Bal...

And off again. What a joke. I'm done. Will keep up with text updates here from now on, or indeed whatever the Town Crier from 1900 updates us with, in keeping with the spirit of the game.

Oh dear. Unfortunately the batsman's ballsack has vibrated to an unacceptable degree. They're off again.

Oi bellends. Listen up for Jdog's speech tutorial. Budding best men, 21st and eulogy speakers. Trust me.

The weather is fundamental to how cricket is played. You can't just put a roof in like rugby or tennis Why not? Do you think weather was not a factor when they built the roof on Forsyth Barr stadium? Or on the Rogers Centre in Toronto? Of course it was. Game on, as it was in other stadiums since. W...

There is no test cricket without atmospheric conditions.

Fvck me. Off again.

If we agree this "is cricket", then maybe the 15 fans left can agree not to play it again in England in June.

They made a profit (thanks to grant money) but haven’t invested in their future. There are far less people in the stands and far less development officers out in the community. Will they have less income in 2022? Will they get another big grant to cover their losses? Likely they will have to do wit...
