We're about to find out how much the CPS likes cricket that's for sure! :D

I wonder if any of the CPS play cricket. If any do, and they go ahead with the prosecution, I think we should be encouraging opposition bowlers to give them some short stuff next season to get across our displeasure at their decision  :D

would often  when batting play for himself many times  saw him  take a single off the first ball of the over and put his number  eleven on strike.

He did...very true, his view being they should be able to bat. Like yourself I've watched many Australian batsmen over the years, God knows we saw enough of them in the 90"s.

Depending on your viewpoint Waugh and Mark Taylor were two of the most influential players and captains of the last few years.

Being a batter myself  (despite the CBF net buddies regularly seeing my 'medium pace' ) I've admired both until they retired.

Waugh led the Aussies to be the best side in the world, and a tough player he was too, certainly not afraid of being disliked.

He might of been selfish, he might not be a very nice bloke, he might of a ruthless sledger, but Jardine was most of those and he was ours.

You could add Alan Border to the list limited ability with the bat but probably the most influential of the three as he started the Aussie turnaround after getting beat by England with Taylor  and  Waugh carrying it on.

Interesting take on England's/Stokes issue here -

A balanced and reflective article. Thanks for posting, very worth a read from the excellent George Dobell.

Yes, Sally and I made Steve's bats for 10 plus years. At the time Sally  asked Steve's manager ( Robert Joske) to for one series put the "real maker's name on the bat" whilst he was negotiating a new deal with MRF. They felt a blank bat was better bargaining power. 8 of the 11 Aussies were using Bradbury. There were English batsmen as well. The clue lies in our logo in ink on the top of the handle and a yellow grip was often left on :)

Thanks for the confirmation Paul I knew I wasn’t going crazy 😜. I do plan on using a Bradbury before my cricketing days are over. With an over 50’s comp looking like a possibility over here my days might be longer than expected 🏏

Odd that Anderson is questioning bouncers with the ump. Just going to get more in the next test now. Seen plenty england do the same to other sides

This would be my XI for the next test. A solid top 5 that won't be skittled, some aggression from 6,7,8 then a fearsome bowling attack. I think it's quite balanced. What does everyone think?

Don't cry, Jimmy!
Was it different when England were bowling exclusively short to Smifffy?

Quote from: MCC Laws of Cricket
41.6.1 The bowling of short pitched deliveries is dangerous if the bowler’s end umpire considers that, taking into consideration the skill of the striker, by their speed, length, height and direction they are likely to inflict physical injury on him/her.  The fact that the striker is wearing protective equipment shall be disregarded.

Perfectly legitimate claim to be fair, also imagine the whining from the Australian bowlers if told to pitch it up. On the other hand, Starc bowling yorkers is far more likely to get Jimmy out in a hurry than Starc bowling bumpers, so be careful what you wish for.
