Congrats SAussies, very well deserved. You guys may now be pleased you nabbed Jason Sangha from New South. Some first season he has had for his adopted state.

All white ball crap. Only white ball in my growing years was Packers WSC. That had class as it was well promoted with all cricket lovers embracing the Mojo produced C'mon Aussie C'mon ditty which lured them into packing their grounds to the rafters. The first day/nite cricket was also introduced, what an atmosphere that created. These days the 50 over game is old hat and past its used by date.

Nah disagree, ironically it's the only trophy anyone remembers.

Agreed, and still very valuable to the ICC and individual countries with the glut of money it makes for any bilateral/triangular/quadrangular series or major global tournament.

It will be interesting to see where the format goes in the near term, given the indifference to it of late. They don't play anywhere near as many ODI's as they used to, given T20's dominance of the market. It may be something that is only played in World Cup years with matches in the lead-up to the tournament, and perhap some sporadic matches in non-World Cup years. Personally, I think it would be as shame as I still like the format and what it offers.
 
Hi, I'm really sorry for this off topic post but I'm still not allowed to create a new one and I don't feel like spamming 5 pointless replies would be welcome either.

I would really need a cricket specialist help. My girlfriend is a big fan of the australian cricket team and I would love to give her a special gift. I've found this cricket ball apparently signed by a famous player but the seller doesn't know who signed it.

I would be really thankful if someone could help identify the player who signed this ball, thanks a lot in advance and sorry again for the off topic.

Welcome to the forum D Doctor Shemp . You mean you cant identify the actual signature? I cant help you with who it may be off top of my head. Can you copy it and post it here or to Cricket Australia perhaps.

may know. He may also permit you to now create a thread. Or is only Chief Chief able to do that.

Thank you very much for your reply! That's very nice from you, I really appreciate it.

When I'll be able to create a thread, I'll gladly do it in order not to fill this one with off topic. Once again sorry about that.

Also feel free to post here with anything pertaining to Australian cricket. I gather you are not an Aussie. Indian?
 
Cam Green with a handy 100 on county debut, retired injured straight after he got to 100 with cramping. He’s said he’ll continue batting tomorrow.

Was doing the same thing he did in NZ by frequently walking down the wicket to certain fast bowlers. Seems to work really well for him.

Great news. Must take a look at his innings. YouTube?
Are we about to see a new stage of the evolution of this multi talented cricketer.

Yeah he seems to have discovered a unique way to play that’s covered some of his weaknesses pretty well.

Also he smashed the ball the he was given LBW on and then went to review it before remembering its county cricket.
