Yep I've enjoyed their daily's along with Ed and Corbin's on the ABC Cricket Pod and The Grade Cricketer guys aswell of course.

It will be another good week (well five days) on the socials, how f**king sweet is it that the Aussies are 3-0 up!! :)


There's some great cricket podcasts going around. My favourite is The Final Word with Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins.


Agree with all those. The overlap - Stick to Cricket with Michael Vaughn and Tuffers is good on Fox Cricket.

Looking at the changes and it looks pretty simple to me which means it won’t be.
I think they will go Smith for Inglis.
Usman gets a farewell tour
Green to drop to 6 or 7
Rocchiccioli for Lyon
Neser for Cummins if he has a spell


Weatherald
Head
Marnus
Smith
Usman
Green
Carey
Neser
Starc
Rocchiccioli
Boland

I did hear it mentioned that Richardson has been training with the team and the plans were to have him ready for Boxing Day but I hope we aren’t that foolish

I agree. Even more reason to punish them 5-0.

I've seen lots of cricket series in Australia before this one, but none where I can remember that the opposition were so bullish yet so ordinary. I'm so keen to see us go 5-0 nil and in as quick a time as possible just to rub salt into the wound.

Shopping centres have TV's.

I'd go Head then Weathers.

Isn't it funny how much of a difference the XI looks without Cummins?

Read this one which I thought was good:

Of the 50 men to play for England on an Ashes tour this century, 26 have never played for their country again.
