Welcome to the cricket section of G and G, SF84!

I've been in the cricket section since I joined the forum. I just have a different username. I still try to post in the other cricket forum that @Richie is on. I still go by old username from here on there.

The Test team is out for Bangladesh.

I think we need more young players to be blooded. Conversely, with the Socceroos, the coach, Popovic, has tried heaps of young players.

What does Corey Roccicioli have to do to get into a squad? He has taken most Shield wickets for a spinner for the last 2 seasons.

They have both all rounders, Green and Webster.

A few mates are travelling up to Mackay and Darwin for the Bangladesh tests. I reneged. I couldn't hack the heat!

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 stats were lower than Sobers. Toss up for me as to the all time supreme all rounder.

​

Incredible isn't 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.

It will be T20 though - I think?

AUSTRALIA ARE THROUGH TO THE FINAL OF THE WOMEN'S CRICKET WORLD CUP!!!!!

Just wish the women's WC and Wimbledon weren't on when the men's Football WC was on.

Yeah it’s pretty annoying given it means one maximises the attention.
