yes but how will it go after sixty odd overs

Well D/N Tests will depend on that pink ball. what will it do? we will see. I am a traditionalist but sometimes you have to accept change.

Yes i remember that test very well. Bob Holland and Bennett in the team but AB spun us to victory. I get that ib some cases it is hard, after all the Boxing day test at the G is a must but these drop in pitches are a disaster for test cricket. Adelaide has the same problem with a second ground...

Funny that, i had never heard the name but still the second best wicket taker in shield last season. OOPs need to pay better attention.

I see that the Gabba is now also under threat but more from a numbers at games issue with Test cricket. The sad truth is that only the Ashes and who ever are the top team at the time will pull great test crowds over five days. The obsession with mega stadiums and drop in pitches is killing test...

They seem to be prepared to try and start to build something new. Might be a couple of tough years ahead but we will see.

Yes agree good decision. It may seem a bit crazy but he definitely intercepted the ball intentionally. Somehow feels hollow but those are the rules

I accept that the WACA simply does not have the capacity for the big games and to redevelop to that standard is expensive but really, the new stadium will have lifeless and characterless drop in pitches that might be great for ODI and T20 but are death for test cricket. We need traditional pitch...

Turned out an interesting game with the weather. Our batsmen underperformed with some very weak dismissals. but overall they won strongly in the end having Ireland all out in the last over with still 23 to get.

Well there goes another Ashes. I would have to say without a moments thought, that was the most inconsistent effort from both teams i have ever seen in Ashes cricket. My first remembered series was in 1974 - 5 at home so there has been a couple. This series will be remembered for the loosing...

Quite right you are, just seems like we don't. Can't remember the last time we did to be honest

Pressure, conditions, the toss, intent, there are many things that feed in but that is also why i place little value on dead rubber Centuries and heroics. The series has been won, the pressure gone and the winner celebrating. Yes the loss smarts but in the end who is holding the Urn??

India back in 2001 and they then beat us. Steve Waugh never enforced it again after that, nor Ponting or Clarke till now.

Can not say enough for Starc's innings, really made the difference. Good to see Siddle get a couple in what i take is his fairwell Test. Lyon again showing he is so much more to this team, don't spose the critics will leave him alone though. England suffering on a tricky deck?

slowed down at 7/376, must get 450

Well 3-2 will sound much better in 20 years.

Funny you and Baylis would be the only one's that said that before lunch. I find it so funny, no question it was another fixed pommy pitch, but this one has blown up in their faces. The fact that they bowled covers all required evidence. Otherwise good day for a few players that needed to show...

Oh goodie another crap Pommy pitch. Wonder if it will backfire this time. Even Clarke doesn't see it going more than three days with the state of the thing. Plain ordinary.

HA HA ;), lets see how NZ go next summer. But really, i think there is far too much focus on the keeper being some kind of amazing batsman. They are there to keep wicket not fix the top orders problems for them. The first priority must always be having the best keeper in place then if they...
