Re: 2018/19 Australian Summer of cricket

Genuine question lads who is better ash win or goat ?
Ashwin is pretty average outside of India. Lyon bowls well everywhere
Tend to agree jim was just the amount of ahhhhhh bowls / chance balls he has bowled all ready today don't see to much of him live just stats which as u say heavily dominated by sub continent pitches !
Ashwin has more tricks and doesn’t have the benefit of a world class fast bowling unit to support him at the other end.

Lyon builds pressure over time and wears batsmen down whereas Ashwin appears to be constantly looking to win the game for his side.

Re: 2018/19 Australian Summer of cricket

100 to Kohli, if he doesnt run out of partners he will get 200 here.

Big difference in the batting, Indians get a start they go on and get tons, we get out in the 60's and 70's :oops: :oops:


Kohli can adapt to all formats of the game, Australia are all slappers.

Highlighted by most Australian wickets thus far

Re: 2018/19 Australian Summer of cricket

Geez how good a bowler is Bumrah! Makes the ball dance and makes their bowling attack look 10x better. Without him in their line up creating so much pressure with quality bowling the Indians IMO would find things far tougher. He’s the best bowler in the World right now.

Re: 2018/19 Australian Summer of cricket

Wow, this is very interesting for the rest of the series. There is something going on here that has not happened in Australian home Tests in a long time. The televising media (Foxtel) are far more in tune with the current game compared to the dinosaurs that were on Chanel 9 - Also they are closer to the players and the players are reporting more information to them during the telecast and the commentators are sharing that information.

Kohli’s attempt at being passive aggressive has backfired massively and the Australians are doing exactly what the Saffers did to us and now it’s the media going after India. Kohli may thrive on this approach, but it’s not helping his team mates who are losing focus and the Aussies and the media sucked them in to playing without a spinner. How ******* dumb do you have to be to not take in to account the previous Sheild game where Lyon dominated?

India have just given Australia a massive sniff and they have ****** up bigtime. The media is going to absolutely smash them.

Re: AFL Week 9 - Making the rules up as they go along...

Adelaide Oval not expecting many at the Power game tomorrow, even telling corporate staff not to bother coming in. :shock:

Or they just don’t won’t your negativity at the venue?

How would telling corporate staff not to come in impact me going to the venue?
Only time I've been there in the last 12 months was for the SANFL finals! :?

I thought it was a point of interest as its the first time its happened at an AFL game since Adelaide Oval was redeveloped. It must impact the Power's budget if they're not filling up all the boxes.

Re: AFL Week 9 - Making the rules up as they go along...


What sort of crowd do you think they will get today ... Pissing down here at victor since 10:30 and still going now not sure what it like in town ? Plus the fact they are playing the Suns you would think say anything over 30k would be a pass mark .
Smack bang in the middle of the day on a Sunday when all the metro kids play doesn’t help either.

The games F*****D at AFL level
Im surprised anyone wastes their money going to watch the tripe some of the teams, coaches and umpires serve up
Just so much inconsistency in the application of the "Grey as F**K" rules Steve Hocking and his cretins implement into the game just to justify their positions, makes the game more like X Lotto as to which way decisions are going to be paid.
The deliberate out of bounds rule or is it the didnt try to keep the ball in hard enough rule is sheer lunacy. Simply take the GREY out of it and adjudicate it like the SANFL and Country leagues do. Simple !!!!

Re: North Melbourne

So turns out Brad was supposed to coach the rest of the year but someone inside NM didn't want that to happen so leaked the info to Mark Robinson who's article fast tracked Brads departure. Players didn't even know before it was in the media.

Not exactly how I would want my club to handle it...

So we could have let the rumours run wild for another 3 months and then parted ways, but instead when it came to light all parties were upfront and honest and parted ways now, a much more mature way to deal with the issue.

Or you could have employees of the football club that didn't go snitching to the media cause they clearly wanted Brad gone that day not end of the year.

The rumour was there either way, we could have denied it like most clubs would, we didn't, we were honest with our members/supporters, not sure how else the club could have handled it better?

Re: team with the most ever sanfl games played all time

The forerunner of the SANFL, the SAFA was established in 1877 and Port and South are the only two surviving clubs from the initial year. Norwood joined the following year. Thus Port would clearly have played the most games in the SANFL and its predecessor competitions.

Furthermore Port was established in 1870, South in 1876, so prior to any official competition being formed Port would have played more games.

As stated, between 1942 and 1944 the 8 teams merged into 4. Port-Torrens, Norwood-North, Sturt-South and West-Glenelg.

Off topic but an interesting aside is that 1877 is arguably the most important year in modern sport, at least for Australia and maybe England.
The SAFA and VFA both commenced that year as dd the first ever tennis Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon and also the initial test match between Australia and England was played.

Re: ODI World Cup 2019

Smith was lucky that NCN was hitting them so sweetly, IMO you need to be striking at least 90 once you've faced 75 balls and got yourself in.
Smith played the anchor role - would've probably gone harder earlier had NCN not fired, or had Carey managed to bat past 50.. needed him (or Carey) to bat until towards the 45th over otherwise we never would've got over 220.

Smith raced to 20 comfortably while Carey took something like 15 balls to score, then Carey lifted and they were both around 40 with Carey almost a run a ball, while Smith settled back content to work the 1s.

Also think some credit needs to go to the WI though with their bowling, there were plenty of balls that were difficult to hit and thought their fielding inside the circle was exceptionally good compared to what they normally dish up.

Out of all of it, I feel Carey's innings hasn't received the plaudits it should.. almost gone unnoticed.

Re: The Ashes 2019

Rik E Boy is blogging his way through the Ashes 2019 :

Edgbaston -Day 1

The opening day of the Ashes series did not disappoint as two evenly matched teams put on a thrilling day of Test Cricket on day one.

We all know we can't bat and soon after drinks we were in the expected deep didgery doo at 3/37. Stuart Broad was all but unplayable in home conditions and he was ably assisted by the energetic Woakes who hit the deck hard. Warner came and went cheaply but not quietly as the locals only forgive English cheats. Bancroft has been left out for so long that he still doesn't know what to leave and Usi makes batting and getting out easy all at the same time. England, and the Barmy Army, were all over us.

Steve Smith and Travis Head steadied the ship and the army fell silent in tribute. What a bunch of front runners they have become. Their singing was off too...they only know the songs their Dads sang 20 years ago...but at least Dad didn't do Marcel Marceau covers because the Aussies don't lose a wicket for 50 minutes.

The news at lunchtime must have made Joe Root blanch, well he certainly looked very pale anyway. In an incredible surprise to, um, no one 64 year old Jimmy Anderson pinged a calf and is ruled out for this home Ashes series at least. No doubt though the Poms will wheel out Anderson like Hannibal Lecter to frighten the Aussies in four years time.

With Anderson out of action and Australia in full recovery mode at 3/92 things were looking up. Then the Aussies lost 5/30 and we were in all sorts at 8/122. The army were back and we studied our footwear and thought "not this crap again". A real lowlight of this spell was our Captain gifting his wicket with a very loose shot at a crucial time...someone had to stay with Smith.

That someone turned out to be Peter Siddle. Sidds is obviously not in the team for his batting but today was his finest innings. Steve Smith even played second fiddle for a while as Root clearly wasn't trying to get him out. All of a sudden the swagger drained out of England. Siddle was dismissed by Moen six runs short of a deserved half century and you could see what it meant to him as he was gutted walking off. Our group and Big Merv's group gave Siddle a well deserved standing ovation and it will take Siddle many bananas to recover from the bruised back from the backslapping he got from his embarrassed team mates.

The best was yet to come. Smith was on 85 when the GOAT came to the crease. Smith finally starting farming the strike with 2s and an ever increasing frequency of boundaries. With Smith on 99 the crowd held its breath until a roar of affirmation from the green and gold greeted one of Smith's best hundreds. There was some feeble boos from the chavs but plenty of Englishmen remain cricket fans.

The last hour was bizzare. At one stage Root had clearly given up on getting Smith out. They had nine on the rope and Smith still hit boundaries. They were so rattled they had four back when Lyon was facing. Defensive shit captaincy, and some brilliant support by Siddle and Lyon helped "Our Steve Smith" to a credible 284 all out. In the end Smith didn't get out until he was ready to, it really was an amazing thing to see. At the end of the day Smith saluted us and his team mates with only a fleeting nod to those saying Boourns. They've made a very good player very determined and Mr Root would be thinking "could you please stop" because at this stage they can't get him out.

England 0/10 in reply after two ordinary short overs. We will need to do better than that tomorrow.

HIGHLIGHT - Steve Smith is no longer captain but he led by example today. Hopefully some of the other batsmen take a leaf out of Smith's book.

LOWLIGHT - Both sides came to play today but the umpiring was as poor as I can ever remember in an Ashes Test. Aleem Dar you are better than this and I can see why I've never heard of Umpire Wilson.
