Thanks Jazz. Stokes should be locked up really. In a way similar to Pat Cronin in that the guy trying to break things up gets whacked.

Yeh, wonder if it was his manager/English officials who came up with the "defending gay friends" lie? Makes the whole episode worse that it appears he was the abuser of the gay men. What a pathetic bloke, hope the crowds don't miss him if/when he comes here.

That sort of behaviour is part of your DNA, grog or no grog. Gun cricketer but *smile* bloke.
 
Stokes found not guilty!! A couple of hundred years ago he would have been transported to Australia for 14 years, or more.

Not if he was in their cricket team at the time.

What a disgrace
 
Cracking test series between England and India. Geez the pommie commentators are biased.

Hoping the Indians get the 245 to make it 2-2 although England still warm favourites with India at 3/60 odd
 
The squad to play Pakistan has been named:

Australia's Test squad: Tim Paine (c), Ashton Agar, Brendan Doggett, Aaron Finch, Travis Head, Jon Holland, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Michael Neser, Matt Renshaw, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc.

Never heard of Marnus Labuschagne?

Is it the worst squad we’ve ever produced
 
The Indians are putting up a good fight in the 5th test against the Poms, after being 3/2 they are now 5/221 still needing another couple of hundred runs.

Great article. Maxwell should do the best by himself and just chase the $$ on the 20/20 circuit.
 
The Marshes and Khawaja are the Polos and Pattisons and McGuanes of Australian Cricket.

Must be injuries holding out so many others especially the quicks.

They will get flogged, funny thing is the Australian Cricket side is fast losing relevance and no one will give a stuff.
 
Moeen Ali doesn’t like the Australian cricket team:

“The first game I ever played against them, in Sydney, just before the 2015 World Cup, they were not just going hard at you, they were almost abusing you.

“That was the first time it hit me. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but the more I played against them they were just as bad, the Ashes here [in 2015] they were worse actually.

Not intimidating, just rude. Individually they are fine and the Aussies we’ve had at Worcester have been fantastic, lovely guys.”

::), ok so they didn’t abuse you and they weren’t intimidating.....they were just “going hard”. Ok.....
 
So with each passing year the domestic one dayers get more and more buried by CA.

So they once were on ch9 AFTER the footy season (even in to January).

Then slowly shunted to GEM then Foxtel and now the season starts on September 16 and you can only view it on the CA website.

Why do they even bother scheduling them if they don’t want anyone to watch them?
