Re: Aus v India - test series
http://www.relianceiccrankings.com/ Smith still no1 in test batting ranking, followed by Williamson, Root and then Kohli with Warner 5th! Luckily this guide is better than a particular 1 eyed (loyal when it suits him) supporter saying otherwise. Do we take into account that the person I'd have at n...

Mine would be:

2. Smith

Re: Aus v India - test series
Whilst certainly a possibility, it's far from over yet. Australia are really only 1 wicket down on a pitch that has only produced 31 wickets in 4 days. If Australia dig in and with Smith (I'd say the 3rd best batsmen in the world) still there, they're a chance to hold on to the draw. Smith is the B...

Re: Leicester
Vardy didn't fake an injury. He exaggerated the impact to ensure the referee saw (or understood) the action that took place. Both players deserved a card - Nasri should have known better already being on a yellow card. Smart play by Vardy - whether people agree with it or not is another story - but ...

Re: Aus v India - test series
Great test match and hilarious to see Aussies complaining about Kohli's behavior - surely he should know it's only Australians that are allowed to carry on like that! :lol: I'm one of the few that will defend him. While he might seem a little 'over the top' I think it's only highlighted because tra...

Re: Aus v India - test series
It was disappointing to see us lose like that - but it does make the next couple of tests very intriguing. Mitch Marsh is rubbish - the fact he has played over 20 tests is an absolute disgrace! I must admit I haven't been this invested in a test series since the last ashes series in England. I don't...

Re: Aus v Sth Africa
Complete debacle - some of our batsman showed a real lack of simple technique. Easy to bat on flat decks against listless attacks, but as soon as there's a pitch with a bit of movement and good quality bowling, we completely fall to pieces. I wasn't overly impressed with our bowlers either - not con...

Re: Aus v Sth Africa
We deserved to lose this test with that inept and cocky batting performance on day 2. The art of 'valuing your wicket' has clearly been lost on the Aussies - maybe it's the amount of short-form cricket they play but I thought Elgar's century was brilliant and the classic 'old-school' way of batting ...

England leading this series 2-1, with one to play. If England don't lose then they will hold every trophy possible for them to hold for games between test nations.

If Tasmania were concerned about a green top, maybe they shouldn't have chosen to bat when they won the toss. So because Tasmania won the toss and batted it's not pitch doctoring?
