Australian Cricket Season 2020-21

Not just you. It’s Fake.

Agree but it whiles away the time. Not interested in actually going to a match but ok on TV where I can turn the channel or do something else during the time.

Almost a terrible start of AUS innings. Really out first ball then extremely close almost run out!

And Burns should have been given lbw in 3rd over!

And Burns should have been given lbw in 3rd over!

That was a 50:50 call.

The Cricket gods have caught up with him though.

 

[Flashback]

My guys over in India are loving it though, after a poor start to the first test.

The other night, first day of the test, we had a group of Indian fans rock up to the beach in front, in their convertible and they were partying hard. Music they played was great.

Swabs need to be taken, are these two the same teams?

Burns has to go and maybe Head, it's easy being a side line critic.

Posted in good fun, no malice intended..... although of course ymmv.

India has performed extremely well, anyone else think that the aussies thought that they only needed to turn up to win.

Indian bowlers have been very good.

Paine's batting helped turn the first test. Rahane this second.

Australia's batting is very thin. Smith having a quiet series has exposed this.
Our bowlers excellent

Well they made 200 this innings - should be a doddle for India with Aust tiny lead.

Australia has clearly lulled India into a false sense of security. Their plan was obviously to make a few runs ( those runs thanks largely to those in the lower half of the batting order) and then bowl India out for 36, again.... What could possibly go wrong?

Sydney to keep the third test, reported in The Australian just now

I heard they lost it. Wow. What will Qld do?

Either Queensland accept the conditions that CA impose or lose the match in Brisbane.

NSW saved the season when Queensland reneged on the training bubble for India prior to the ODI/T20s. I’m sure that was not lost on CA and the NSW government.

“We had a full court press from the NSW government, the SCG, the media, everybody on the same team all pushing for the Test,” Venues NSW chairman Tony Shepherd told the Australian on Tuesday night”

The quote I heard from QLD this afternoon was that they would allow everyone into hotel quarantine only leaving to train/play. So will the players/officials accept those conditions is my question.

 

[Bundy Bear]

Sydney Thunder scored an avalanche of runs tonight to reach 219,
In the other match the Sydney Sixers beat the Melbourne Renegades after terrible bowling performance with the 2 wides, from Sutherland, and then was given the ball by the captain Finch.
DRS better come in soon as there were a few errors by the umpires.

Yes. It was only because of NSW that the Indian team was allowed into Australia. Qld had the AFL GF. They have backed AP into a corner.

Makes a nice change. I think the NSW Government laid down a few facts to CA.

The McGrath Foundation fundraiser is also the biggest fundraising sport event in Australia.

Im very pleased they are getting it. Was thinking that was the end of the McGrath Pink Test too. . Just didn’t expect this to be the case. Great outcome.

The McGrath Foundation fundraiser is also the biggest fundraising sport event in Australia.

Neale Daniher's ( who has MND himself) Big Freeze has raised more than $23.6 million for MND over the previous 5 years.
The Big Freeze at the G is a MND fundraiser event at the Queen's Birthday AFL match at the MCG (G).

And this year despite not being at an actual game, the modified fundraiser this year still raised $7 million.

Sixth big freeze raises more than $7 million despite virus disruption

COVID-19 might have closed the MCG's big slide for 2020, but it hasn't stopped AFL players from getting frosty to fight MND.
