I don't mind it but truth be known, it's the A League that gets me through the off season.
And here I was thinking you were a good bloke!

Yep. He does look like he's the real deal. Though Nic M looked completely out of his depth. Hope for a few more runs tomorrow.

Liverpool in EPL & Seahawks in the NFL are my saviours....mum accidentally got me the Seahawks jersey instead of Seaeagles to kick it off 30 years ago!!...a big fan these days...but let's keep it real...Rugby League has always been No1 though BS from ppl running the game has me often scratching the head & Manly are the priority.

Yes Maddison was a weird one to have debut. But he has plenty of potential but they have better players out there.
I'm a Sydney FC fan Newwy so fair to say that this has been the best start to an A-League season in a while.
I like the cricket but I'm in the minority because I prefer the tests over the 20/20's. I guess I'm just an old fart after all.
Actually more interested in this test than I have been in years. I like the feel of a 'new era'. And I must say on day 1 I was enthralled with the final part of the day when we batted out the 12 overs. To me test cricket doesn't need to be just like a one dayer. Good to see patches of hanging in, good bowling and just seeing it through, and then cashing in when you can. Just seeing Warner throw the bat at everything isn't the be all and end all. I like to see some good defence as well
Actually like the a league (the jets) and love the EPL (no real team but can't help but be impressed with what Leicester did last year.).

Handscombe was great because he's such a busy player who always looks to score and Renshaw is a fighter. The only downside is their defensive techniques look a bit sloppy..That Handsombe shot when he got bowled was awful..Feet stuck on the crease - really wishy washy shot. And Renshaw naturally moves across to off stump so gets squared up a lot defensively. That said the newbies are a breath of fresh air and hopefully they'll work hard on technique. Maddinson is worth sticking with I think too - he might be a kid that actually improves playing at the highest level and when he's on he's a matchwinner. The ball that dismissed him was an absolute screamer..We need to give them a decent go now and stabilize the squad for a while.

Yeah I am surprised a PNG team isn't on the NRL's horizon... Theyd be an entertaining team to watch..Not sure how many quality Aussie players would be keen to relocate there with families though just quietly *shudders

Maddison has the game of a good short form player but I am not convinced on test batting.
