Dear 🏏 friends. And so it came to pass that the BCCI(ICC) decreed that from now on there is only one cricket currency, or bit(of) coin, to be known by the letters, IPL. Good luck and good night🤣

Pat Cummins gamble/strategy? at the toss has produced one of Australia’s greatest victories. India totally outplayed by Travis Head…the catch and the hundred….India 11 WC lead up wins and now a crushing defeat in the Final. Salute Aus 6 WCs in 8 Finals👏👍

When he was writing for the SMH Bill O’Reilly would only pick up his binoculars when a wrist spinner came on. He was fascinated by a chubby young leg spinner. Alas he never saw the best of Warne. We did. Were’nt we lucky. Like Bradman Warne was a phenomenon. You had to watch him.

David Warner may still be good enough to hold his spot…hope so because he has been brilliant at his best. But no one is irreplaceable and the Warner PR network should shut up and watch the ball, just score runs 👏 and live with the consequences.
“If Dave doesn’t perform in that first Test, who do they bring in that’s better?”
Candice Warner has challenged who Australia’s better options are amid claims her husband is under pressure to keep his spot.

The law is an ass. Needs to change despite Neser’s smartness. If you touch the ball outside the field of play…grounded or not.. it’s a six/not out
Shot didn’t clear the rope, first catch inside field of play, ball never grounded beyond rope.

Won’t happen. Next test in November so sit still. How do you improve the top six ? You don’t…yet. Smith did carry his bat 5 innings ago and opening is a tough gig. Bancroft’s requiem was written when he was’nt picked for the Ashes. And no one catches better than Smith. Chill.
Do you agree?
Steve Smith must go as opening batsman, and Cameron Bancroft must take take his place.

A Composed champion. Love the Barty smile and a whole match to savour without any grunting or hysterics. Revives memories of Aussie successes in Paris with Lesley Bowrey, Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong
Ash Barty is now the WORLD NUMBER 2 on the back of her maiden title at a major.
The highest ranking by an AUS female player since Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1976.
What a massive fortnight for a young lady who just 3 years ago was playing in the WBBL.

Evidence is umpire’s call....so certainly not a howler as some have alleged. Hawkeye reckons it was straightening but.......was it!
Perhaps Joel Wilson was right after all. DRS disagreed of course (which again highlights its faults) but it looks almost certain that Lyon’s delivery hit Stokes’ front pad first and not the back.

Well spoken Mickey. Smith is no bad guy but he got buried by Warner and should have been stronger. Hope he's resilient and that he can recover, and win back respect.
Mickey Arthur has coached three Test teams including Australia. He is in a unique position to comment on recent events. He was an outsider and the culture and sense of entitlement in the team was too ingrained for him to change. Read and heed his words.
