The Beauty of Test Cricket Rises Once Again

Slashing Through the Cordon ·

2024/01/29

Two fantastic Test matches ran side by side for four days this week, one featuring two of the biggest teams in the sport, the other a David and Goliath battle that was expected to be over within a couple of days. Both of them featured teams that were expected to struggle in the conditions, and indeed 24 hours before their respective conclusions those two teams appeared very likely to be soaked in defeat the following day. And yet, through the astounding efforts of two rookie bowlers, one a pace

On today's episode of The Casual Mankadder, the discussion revolves around the conclusion to the 13th season of Australia's Big Bash League, and the performances that highlighted the season. We then talk about how the gamble of listening to the fans, and shortening the season has brought about bigger crowds, bigger ratings with more focus and less cluster, and then I put in my usual 20 cents worth about how just a couple more changes could future proof the Australian summer. Finally, we discuss how

On today's episode of The Casual Mankadder, we dissect the outcome of the 1st Test of the two Test series between Australia and the West Indies which was completed in Adelaide this week. Despite the final result being one that even my daughter that ignores everything to do with cricket could have predicted, the West Indies have unearthed another two or three promising young cricketers who all performed above expectations in this match. We discuss the implications going forward, and how the team

Selection Landscape Confirmed as Test Future Laid Out

The decision today to pick Cameron Green in the starting XI for the upcoming West Indies Test series to replace the retiring David Warner came as no surprise to anyone, given the number of leaks to the media over recent days to ensure everyone was prepared for the eventual announcement. It has become a time-honoured tradition, essentially to ensure that the Chairman of Selectors press conference to announce the team is made easier by the fact that he already knows what questions will follow.

On today's edition of Three Points of Play: 1. The 3rd Test has been run and won, and all that remains is to take a look at the series as a whole and discuss whether the 3-0 scoreline was an accurate view of how the cricket was played, and whether Pakistan can make a better showing going forward. 2. David Warner has completed his international career (T20 World Cup pending), and we take a short and unbiased look at what he has achieved in that time. 3. Another retirement has occurred this week,

On today's edition of Five Points of Play: From the City of Lost Cricket, we discuss Day 3 of the Australia vs Pakistan Test match, and how the game has once again ebbed and flowed on the backs of half hour patches of brilliance from both teams. Given the amount of time that is still being lost in Test cricket, we talk about the pure ridiculousness of ten minutes being scythed out of the match because a Test class batter can't face up while a piece of black tape sits 90 metres away. We

On today's edition of Five Points of Play: We discuss the truncated Day 2 of the 3rd and final Test between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney, and whether the lack of play has hindered the chance of a result once again in the City of Lost Cricket. Bad light once again reared its ugly head before the onset of rain, and with it a discussion on whether changes need to be made to the regulations in order to maximise the amount of play through what is currently considered bad light, even with the

On today's edition of Five Points of Play: We discuss the opening day's play of the 3rd Test between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney, and the ebbing and flowing of the day's play, and the heroes and villains involved. I rant about the diabolical over rate for the day by Australia, why both teams are somewhat at fault, and an idea on how it could be fixed quickly. We discuss the non playing of Pakistan's strike weapon Shaheen Sha Afridi, and why it is such a bad look for the player in

On today's episode of The Casual Mankadder, we take a look back at the 1st Test of the Australia summer 2023/24, with the match against Pakistan in Perth at the new Perth Stadium. In amongst the angst of David Warner's century followed by a duck, and Mitch Marsh's excellent all round performance, we have a look at Nathan Lyon becoming the 8th male cricketer to reach 500 Test wickets, and the overall performance by the Australian team. We also run our eye over the Pakistan team, and

On today's episode of The Casual Mankadder, we attack and discuss three current points of contention in the world of Australian cricket. Firstly, we preview the start of the Test series and discuss the chances of both Pakistan and Australia in the First Test in Perth and the series overall, and whether Pakistan's less than full strength squad is a match for Australia's bully boys on home turf. Secondly, we discuss the recent bust up of Mitch Johnson's comments on the David Warner

On todays episode of The Casual Mankadder, we preview the upcoming 13th edition of Australia’s Big Bash League. Despite the dwindling ability to attract the top flight short form cricketers from around the world, the BBL still showcases the best talent that Australian domestic cricket has to offer as they look to force their way into the national setup. Today we’ll take a look at each team's squad, and assess just where they stand in the pecking order for this season's competition. I will
