    Memories of 2002

    There was a replay on Sky for some reason of the 2002 Grand Final loss, I hadn't seen a full replay in many years and it was quite an interesting watch. Without doubt this was our best season although we did fall away towards the end of it. I think we ourselves were a bit shell shocked about...

    The Road to the Finals

    Right so we're nearly at the halfway point of the season sitting at 5 wins out of 11 games. Which looks pretty average given that we are sitting 12th on the ladder, but it really might not be as bad as it looks. Typically to make the top 8 you can get through with 12 wins out of 24 (win half...

    Glenn Maxwell = Miandad + Ponting

    Sauce IPL journalism is just fail.

    Goalkicking

    Shaun Johnson has booted 14/24 goals so far, running at 58.33% Its fair to say that this cost us the game last week. Why was there no plan for a genuine goal kicker since Maloney departed? Back in the days of Witt and Cleary at least we had a guaranteed 4-6 extra points per game compared...

    3rd ODI: New Zealand v India at Auckland, Jan 25, 2014

    Promising to be another real cracker, I would have been there in person if I didn't have family commitments! India look pretty clueless other than Shami, Kohli and Dhoni. I'm predicting NZ to win the series 4-1 but this match could go either way.

    3rd Test: Pakistan v Sri Lanka at Sharjah, Jan 16-20, 2014

    Anybody following this snooze fest? 133/5 (71.0 ov) on day 4 with a 220 run lead coming into day 5. They obviously only care about the draw and are happy to plonk along aimlessly until it all ends. The ICC rankings aren't enough incentive to actually push for wins, a number of teams will...

    5th ODI: New Zealand v West Indies at Hamilton, Jan 8, 2014

    New Zealand will bowl. West Indies missing half their side will probably get owned.

    1st ODI: New Zealand v West Indies at Auckland, Dec 26, 2013

    Just got started with NZ batting first. Ryder's comeback game, unfortunately the Windies are without Gayle, Samuels and Pollard.

    3rd Test: New Zealand v West Indies at Hamilton, Dec 19-23, 2013

    3rd test just got underway with the West Indies batting first. As if their attack wasn't disgraceful enough, they have fielded an extra spinner ahead of Gabriel and are going in with only one genuine pace bowler along with Sammy.

    Only ODI: Ireland v England at Dublin, Sep 3, 2013

    Thought this was worth raising. We saw yesterday the farcical situation where two Irishmen were responsible for beating Ireland (Rankin 4 wickets, Morgan unbeaten 124). How frustrating must that have been for the Irish.

    2nd Test: New Zealand v England at Wellington, Mar 14-18, 2013

    This is all set to kick off shortly. New Zealand have won the toss and will bowl, no changes to either XI. Conditions should help the bowlers again on day one, but I suspect they won't be getting the freebies they got in Dunedin.

    T20 for 2024 Games

    Source Personally I think this is a horrible idea. T20 is the ugliest, dirtiest and most pointless of the three formats and it advertises cricket in a negative way. Emerging teams should be focusing on building 50 over teams at least, as cricket is a sport where Test cricketers can succeed in...

    India threaten tour pull-outs over DRS

    Source India continuing to be ridiculously stubborn about this, threatening to pull out of a tour is just unbelievably arrogant. ICC as usual does nothing, some commenters suggesting overseas players should pull out of the IPL, which of course they never will as long as it pays up.

    What do Australians think of the Big Bash?

    From across the ditch I'm curious to see whether the KFC big bash has a fan following or respect. Personally I hate domestic T20 competitions including the IPL and I avoid them all. Your thoughts?

    3,2,1 vs Roosters

    3. Hurrell - Finally some real attacking firepower at the back. 2. Packer - Very strong in the second half. 1. Johnson - Kept us in the game with those two tries. - Shame to see Ropati go, doesn't look good for him. - Mateo anonymous again. What a strange old game that was! Grubby, full of...

    What to do When Locke Returns?

    Finally we had a game where our back line looked settled. Ropati gave an inspired go at the back, Inu injected some much needed spark, Topou as usual does nothing wrong and Benry had the best game he's had at the top. Manu is often a sentimental choice despite his on and off from, so it really...
