Some of you may never have seen Alan Border as a young captain but he was far more demonstrative than Smith has ever been.
We are about to be 3 blot and on our way to five bloody nil. Onya Smithy.

Can't remember who posted last week but it makes a difference when you have Cummins coming on first change bowling 140/145 kms compared to Pete Riddle bowling 125/130 kms.
Smudge continues to impress with the bat, he just looks has so much time and is doing it with such ease!

Dizz was no spud with the stick solid defence. Would bat top 6 in local club cricket doubt Stuart would get above 9.amber_fluid wrote:heater31 wrote:**** me is Stuart Broad the worst batsman in test cricket to have a highest individual score above 150. Deadset number 11 these days

Just seems like they're "Dead Rubber" Tests all the time these days and cricket just loses its interest after Christmas with Dead Rubber Tests and a meaningless Big Bash comp. AFL would be loving it as the focus on footy creeps in earlier every year.

I would hazard a guess that Melbourne has been a dead rubber only once in the last 10 years. This would have been when we swept the Poms.

Crap. Each Test means something. The entire BBL means nothing....when the Test series ends I agree with you as that's when I lose interest in what they are marketing as cricket. I couldn't care less if the rubber is dead the Boxing Day test is still the Grand Final of Test Cricket. As for focus on footy, up here the AFL gives the inferior code a head start every year as the NRL kicks off a couple of weeks before the season starts.
