Cricket Crap

[The Mad Hatter]

I have to say, I have a huge soft spot for Siddle. Never will be in a greatest list but he could motor. Held the fort during the post Golden Era with Hilfy, Harris, Bollinger, Johnson. Had some great days. 221 test wickets and an Ashes hat trick.

It's going to be so weird to watch a Test and not hear "Joel, I'm going to ask you to overturn your decision."

However, bombshell new claims emerged on Sunday with The Daily Mail first reporting an anonymous, senior police officer at the scene now claims he was ordered to remove a bottle of pills identified as Kamagra — a drug used in erectile dysfunction treatments.

The drug is listed to include sildenafil citrate — the same active ingredient used in Viagra. The product originated in India and is not regulated in most countries.

Pretty sure I saw something like that in an article soon after he died but the ingredient wasn't named

First test tour of SA in a long time.

We should absolutely take Bancroft along.

Good to see Mitch Marsh getting another contract. Richly deserved.

Absolutely worth a look in.

That awful 2018 test tour aside...the SA tours of the past have always been great to watch. On home decks I'm sure the SA bowling attack would give us plenty of trouble.

I am sure Davey will put his hand up if required
