Selection chairman George Bailey has Australia scanning every possible angle to set up its next gen Test men. One thing being considered is to move a few players into first-class cricket such as putting them with Australia A in India, which is set to play two four-day contests versus India A in...

Yet to be finalised mate. I hope they are all former and current WC Under 19s. Such as the three TCA poached from my useless state.

Smudge is crickets version of fine wine.

Australia squad for Bangladesh Tests: Pat Cummins (c), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Jake Weatherald, Beau Webster. No surprises. There is also a CAX1 warm up game with some of our...

Barbados-born Sobers featured in 93 Tests between 1954 and 1974, amassing 8,032 runs and taking 235 wickets. @57.78 (bat) @34.3 (ball). His bowling stats are moderate but with the willow in hand he was without peer, with only South African Jacques Kallis @55.4 coming close. But his bowling...

Yeh and unless you wanna pay, we peasants dont see it except for a piddling 10min of h/l footage. Hate these super rich Yank streamers with a passion. Bezos has already hi jacked all ICC tournaments, next will be the Ashes.😡

Australia have again been crowned the women’s T20 World Cup champions after smashing England in the final by seven wickets, driven by Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield's supercharged 151 runs chase...

Despair in Dallas: Socceroos knocked out after keeper gamble backfires. Not the news I wanted to wake to, but Popa's Pups gave it a red hot crack.

Had Aussie soccer lost Cristian Volpato blame the bosses of Sydney FC and the Western Sydney Wanderers, both of whom basicly told the youngster he was not wanted. Hearing this almost shattered the teenager with a dream. ''I just remember the car ride home with my dad, I was crying". Then he...

Aussie men and women are set for cricket's return to the Olympic Games in 2028 as long-awaited qualification details for the event were confirmed by the International Olympic Committee.(y)

Do we elevate Stokes to greatness, I am unsure. His Test all round stats suggest not, but his all format stats suggest probably, with over 11,000 runs, 330 wickets in his bag. Few English cricketers of the past generation had the same tenacity against adversity than the Kiwi born Pommie had...

Good on you Ireland. Keep believing. And ICC give em more Test matches. Say, a Top End series against us.

Socceroos teenage centre back Lucas Herrington is being described as cool, composed, unflappable after his World Cup debut. Traits he says he owes to his parents. "They have always told me to be humble, respectful and give back when I can. They're massive it as was them that shaped me into the...

Is this a fair summary of our players. Some big numbers for some. PATRICK BEACH - 8 Beach retained his spot in goal for the third match in a row. He was calm, involved in build-up play and is looking right at home between the sticks. Didn’t have a massive amount to do but was safe when called...

Who is in your opinion? Problem is now we have reached the knock out stage Popa aint going anywhere. Be a different case it we were the team knocked out today.

Socceroos through to the World Cup knockout stage with the sweetest of all scoreless draws.

I am multi sports minded LFC. Hearing it is a day match for us Aussies, so I will pop in on the Roos. Hope the boys show more intent than shown against the Yanks in that disastrous first stanza. Need to get off to a flyer.

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Owen has sent a timely reminder to the national selectors of his T20 prowess by smacking the highest individual score in Major League Cricket history for Washington Freedom. Featuring a whopping 13 sixes and 11 boundaries the Tasmanian, 24, massacred 155 from...

Spencer Johnson becomes the most economical bowler ever in international T20 with his 2-6 from 4 overs in Bangladesh overnite.

With Connolly I agree as doubt he will make Test cricket. With Konstas yes play in England in all formats if possible.
