    2nd Test: Australia v India D/N @ Adelaide Oval Dec 6-10, 2024

    I just saw you said in the last 24 years. In my mind 1997 is still only about 15 years ago. I thought maybe we were 0-1 v West Indies in the mid 1990s, but we won the first test in both away series. Came back from 1-2 in the 1998-99 series.

    2nd Test: Australia v India D/N @ Adelaide Oval Dec 6-10, 2024

    It's a huge toss to win. Bat first and then subject the opposition to facing Starc or Bumrah under lights.

    2nd Test: Australia v India D/N @ Adelaide Oval Dec 6-10, 2024

    1997 Ashes. England won the first game, and were saved by rain in the second.

    1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

    In Chappellis era every player was forced to bat at 3. Any captain who positioned a fielder on the boundary resulting in an easy single was immediately sacked.

    1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

    Can we get Fraser McGurk and Matt Short in the side? We'd still be 3 down but at least we'd have 25 runs.

    Usman should probably have faced up too.

    1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

    Feel a bit for a guy on debut having to come out and face that despite batting in the middle order his whole career while Marnus gets a nightwatchman.

    At least it won't be one of those tricky low totals.

    1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

    Just need to add 2/20 to the score 5 times.

    Is this one of those pitch swaps we usually use on the Kiwis?

    1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

    The signs have been there for 12 months that this batting unit is on the decline. Wasted the opportunity last summer to blood some fresh talent.

    1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

    Maybe we should prepare some dustbowls and pick 3 spinners like the Kiwis did.

    Smith's career looks to be ending the same way as Ponting.

    Penrith lucky the other guy in the Tyrone May video didn't have any Clear identifiable tattoos.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Yes a conflict of interest given he was associated with TAB. NRL doesn't like people associated with gambling companies. Would have been no conflict whatsoever if he was head of Racing NSW instead.

    Phillip Hughes has passed away at the age of 25

    Rogers was replaced by Renshaw and then Bancroft - which we know how that ended. Hard to know what Australian cricket team would have looked like. Hughes definitely had the talent to be a long term test player. Such a tragedy.
