I'm glad the 'Lankans are putting up a bit of a fight. Tough times for them there at the moment.

Soooo shits kicked off big time in Sri Lanka. The government just got overthrown by an angry mob, I wonder if Cricket Australia is getting nervous for our blokes safety.

Just thought I’d log on to cricinfo to see if the Aussies had clawed back some of that lead of Sri Lanka’s. Thought we might have been about even for runs and try and set up something for them to chase tomorrow.

Umm. Could not believe what I saw.

Looks like they’re FINALLY moving to five test series’s against India instead of four. Long overdue, its one of our marquee fixtures, it deserved to be held on a pedestal just behind the Ashes.

Cricket is really going down the gurgler.

It will be the quickest format ever seen for professional cricketers when the 6ixty tournament begins in the West Indies this week - the equal shortest, being the same length as a 10-over match, but quicker.

I’ve said it numerous times before and I’ll say it again… how the **** does Finch keep getting picked?

Wow, what a win that was, watching it, a win was the last thing I was expecting, Green is going to be an Aussie cricketing legend in the future considering he's only 23. How himself & Carey put on that partnership to get us home I never would have thought at the start of their partnership.

It's time for Finch to go though, there comes a time when we have to start playing a few young openers rather then Finchy & Warner all the time.

Finch’s most recent scores in ODIs are 23, 0, 0, 44, 14, 62, 0, 0, 15, 1, 5, 5, 0

& he is 35 years old. Selectors need to pull their heads in
