I'm not sure as to whether it's appropriate to include discussion on the T20 championships in this thread but I must question the application of DL to T20 when we can win a game and score 91 runs less than the opposition. I think the other game played overnight became a 7 overs a side game. Ridiculous!

    Geez bowling in these matches staggers me sometimes. Players make such immense mistakes - forget their basics while going for far, far too much. Morkel bowling a rank full toss with no one at square or mid wicket is case in point.

    The Indian bowling in the second one is no better but let's lap it up.

    Watson and Warner unbeaten century opening stand in 10 overs ... extraordinary!

    And Pat Cummins is going to become some fast bowler one day soon.

    Headed into this thread to write pretty much that.

    After the rant above rant I watched Cummins bowl - he's just a joy to watch. Such talent.

    Then I watched the Indians have a go... wow? Continual short balls at 120-130kph at Watson's hip. They're sharking - surely.

    Demetriou should call an investigation.

    On international cricket: no idea why Dan Christian is playing. He bats at 8, which adds nothing, and bowls medium pace rubbish without being threatening. He's doing nothing special. David Hussey's bowling is better anyway, and would add impetus to the batting.

    On domestic cricket: how did Brad Hadding get man of the match in this game: http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-domestic-2012/engine/current/match/576083.html?

    Haddin: 114, then 7.

    Henriques: 161 not out, then 50 not out off 51 balls, then 3 wickets (including Cosgrove).

    Would have thought old Moises had that one wrapped up.

    Watson has to be on target for man of the tournament....

    Seeing it like a football. Gun.

    Just hope he will be fit and firing like the rest of the team come the Ashes next year when I'm there.

    Vics are in fine form again, and an ever watchful significant innings of 89 by Matthew Wade steered the ship for the VICS after a nervous time at 6/68 chasing 140-odd.

    Please select Matthew Wade for the first Test, selectors......

    The spot has to be Wade's to lose, can't see how Haddin can justify taking the spot back for a year or whatever (wouldn't be much longer at his age).

  • Quote

    Cant see how you can justify Haddin who is 10 years older than Wade, averages 26 in the last 3 years and considering the form Wade is in. Unbelievable innings at the Gabba last week

    Speaking of vics, how Bobby Quiney hasnt had a look in is beyond me. Will probably end his career in the Hodge and D.Hussey mould of what could of been if the CA wasnt run by the NSW boys club of incompetent fools

    Bit off topic but does anyone know the status of Pakistani bowlers Mohammed Asif and Aamer? Really miss watching those guys, especially Asif. Him and Steyn were clearly the best fast bowlers in the world a couple of years ago.

    Yet there is talk of bringing in Phil Hughes again. I have no idea why the NSW bias still exists but it it clearly a problem.

    Haddins only problem is that he cannot keep wickets and as a bstsman he plays too many loose shots at innapropriate times.

    Apart from that ,he is nearly 36 ,but remains mates with Pup Clarke ,so all is fine .

    I'm off Cricket-mostly thanks to Pup Clarke and the whole NSW thing ,combined with the 20/20 fiasco and all that rot.

    When Pattinson and Cummins combine we are in for another decade of dominance and Clarke will get the credit .

    Wade will struggle to get in until he learns to lick NSW boot.

    Amir has 4 years left of his ban and Asif has 6. I think Amir just got out of prision recently

    No better example than his dreadful dance down the wicket when Australia were 7/21 in Cape Town. That should of been the end of him right there. And yet theres talk of him coming back. Amazing

    Dont even get me started on Hughes and Clarke. Boys club where you have to be friends with clarke and steve smith to get in the side. I moved here in 04 and never once got in to aus cricket for this reason.

    When the golden boys Hayden Langer etc all went, Australia have been a joke, when they couldve built a fantastic side around Hodge D.Hussey etc yet we will just see Hughes, Haddin, Mitchell Johnson get chance after chance

    Jeez they are really serious about it, and they've crippled their cricket side for years by doing it. Talk about a hard line government.

    English courts? How does that work then? I thought they had to be tried in Pakistan.

    England created Pakistan ,and the justice system.

    The spot fixing in this case took place in England .

    Maybe they put them In a Pakistani part of England?

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
