Anderson overtaking McGrath's record is a shame. Great bowler at home, very average away.
I don't want to come across all Harrison Ford, but I'm getting a bad feeling about this... 200 in 3 hours is definitely doable...
It's a parody, although It's amazing how far through it I got before being 100% sure
What's everyone's thoughts on the Cricket Australia report into snadpapergate?
My thoughts are they are trying to shift the blame to the administrators so they can fast track Smith and Warner back into the team.
The Players' Pact:
We recognise how lucky we are to play this great game.
We respect the game and its traditions.
We want to make all Australians proud.
Compete with us.
Smile with us.
Fight on with us.
Dream with us.
Players union is already saying they should be reinstated immediately. There is clearly a PR campaign going on to get the players back in and to blame the administrators. Obviously not by CA, but someone behind the scenes is pushing for this.1. It wasn't an internal report, and I don't know how you could force that result in the terms of reference.
2. I seriously doubt the pricks at CA would be that selfless or clever enough to play nth dimensional chess like that.
From what I've seen, all the recommendations seem like meaningless crap that will be circumvented if they get in the way of winning.
Don't be silly, no one can explain Duckworth-Lewis. But they batted first and only lost 4 wickets, setting India a target they failed to reach.Can someone explain to me how Australia won despite getting less runs in the same amount of overs???

Australia could have gone harder sooner if they knew the innings was only going to be 17 overs at the start.
Honestly, with the way they were batting before the rain Australia looked to be blowing past that target but the method proved itself again by how close the match was.
