    England vs New Zealand - June 2022

    New Zealand were 3/38 then 4/56 but have recovered to 4/156. Both Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell have scored half centuries for the Black Caps to led the fightback and now lead by 147. Matthew Potts has two wickets for England while Anderson and Broad have one each. Much better batting from...

    Shield Thread.

    Not much change aside from Guthrie going to Queensland. Fanning earns a full contract after a very good premier cricket season while Wyllie also has a full contract after dominating the Second XI in the two games he played. Bryce Jackson has been upgraded and Charlie Stobo has a full contract...

    Pretty expensive, inflation is greater here recently than anywhere else in the country. Seems as if it will get worse in the short-term before it gets better in the short. How much is fuel there where you are?

    That's a myth. The Libs have spent a lot of money in their time in government, debt has skyrocketed in recent times to the point where the country now owes a substantial amount of money. While not all debt is bad, there could have been a better effort to keep debt at a more moderate level mostly...

    He did a rubbish job globally. Refused to do anything about climate change until he was dragged kicking and screaming to eventually agree to a 2050 target which also left a lot of Australia's Pacific allies out to dry. Australia is supposed to be a leader in the Pacific but the party wouldn't do...

    England vs New Zealand - June 2022

    New Zealand were bowled out for 132 in their first innings, Colin de Grandhomee top scored with 42 not out while James Anderson and Matthew Potts finished with four wickets each. England began well in reply, reaching 0/58 before having a monumental collapse which included 5/8 in 4.3 overs to...

    England vs New Zealand - June 2022

    New Zealand travel to England for some tour games and a three match series in June 2022. The series is England's first since the resignation of Joe Root as captain with Ben Stokes stepping into that role while Brendon McCullum will coach against the country he represneted having taken over as...

    Scummo is a fraud and will go down as a fairly poor Prime Minister. The last nine years of government from the conservative Liberal Party have been exceptionally bad with Scummo's four or so years in charge having been rubbish. The Australian people voted for change and they turfed out a...

    Rest In Peace Andrew Symonds

    Terrible news to hear of the passing of Andrew Symonds. Symo or Roy was a very talented all-rounder and an excellent player who was a mainstay of the Australian white ball sides for a number of years. Very sad to hear of his passing in what has been an awful year thus far for former Australian...

    The BaggyGreens Thread

    The T20 World Cup is later this year so there'll be an emphasis on white ball cricket, particularly T20 games. I'd expect something similar next year with the 50 over World Cup towards the end of that year, less than 18 months away now. The other main reason for it is money. White ball cricket...

    The BaggyGreens Thread

    No real surprises in those squads, test squad basically as you would expect while no real surprises in the ODI squad either. Both are fairly settled at this stage which is always a good thing to have. The "A" squad is interesting with Head there, seems they want him to have some additional time...

    The BaggyGreens Thread

    Too soon for a changing of the guard I would think, at least for the 50 over side. Finch may finish up after the T20 World Cup later this year but that may be the only real change leading to the 50 over World Cup next year. Edwards is a fringe NSW player at best, Joe Burns' technique is flawed...

    The Weather Thread

    Sounds pretty cold there. Mother's Day was nice and sunny with 26.5 degrees. The rain has returned here though, it has been raining yesterday and today. Today only got to 14.9 degrees so a big change from what we've had lately and the hot summer we had.

    2022 Australian Football League

    I reckon there will be a few candidates but Clarkson will certainly be one that GWS will chase. The question remains whether this will trigger other movements in the coaching sphere given that Cameron has resigned and that GWS will chase Clarkson to replace him who is likely to want to get back...
