The intimidation and manhandling tactics may work on vulnerable sex workers and teenage cricketers, but I bet the cunts would never try that on an old bald fat farang in a dark alley.

Fantastic Test Match. Great Test Series.
Australia totally dominant. This should silence India once and for all.
NZ smashed them and now the Aussies have smashed them.
They are no. 4 in the world at best.
Shoulda been 4-1. Only the rain saved India in Brisbane.
Bring on Seth Efrica in the ICC Test Match World Cup Final.
We will make biltong out of their sorry carcasses.

We are doing quite well at the moment, the Perth incident was basically a scheduling oversight. Should have started the Test Series in Brisbane and we probably would have beaten the Indians 5-0 !

That said, until we can beat them at home, we can’t really say we are dominating. So hat off to the Kiwis. Fancy beating them at home in the world’s most populous country with over 1.4 Billions people with a touch over 5 million souls.

Giving Bumrah the Player of the Series award was very generous and charitable. It shoulda been Pat Cummins. Took wickets, made runs, captained very well, and always made runs or took wickets when it really mattered and turned the match.
There should also be an award for The Most Shit Player of the Series. That would go to McSweeney and every Indian player except for Bumrah

Sorry mate,

I tend to disagree, if Bumrah was fit and well and bowling on Sunday, I’m not so sure we could run down the 161. He could have easily taken another 4-5 wickets and the entire Indian squad would have lifted too.

The series could well have ended in a draw and the Indians would retain the trophy again.

Just my two cents.

Cheers

Australia Open time again.

Have we seen the last of Nick Kyrgios ?

Not always a fan of Nick but when he is playing good tennis and not being a bad boy, it's great to watch.

and according to Wiki, he has won over USD$22 millions in career earnings plus endorsements, so won't be feeling sorry for his career ending pre-maturely, he should be set for life from here.

Just a quick wrap on Nick's tennis career, at 29, his highest ranking was 11, while he hasn't won any major and had only reached a single Grand Slam Final in the Wimbledon in 2022, he had beaten 5 former World No. 1 players in Nadal, Federer, Murray, Novak and Medvedev. So, it's fair to say, at his best, he can certainly match it with the best in the world.

So, do we turn our attention to Alex de Minaur now ? at 25 yr, Alex's highest ranking was 6, currently no. 8 so he has already surpassed Nick in ranking and sitting on USD$16M career earnings and still counting. One thing we can say about Alex is his hard working and playing very consistently, especially in 2024. Let's hope he does well in the AO in 25.


Go Alex,

Go Aussie !!

Cheers.

It was comprehensive wasn't it and hard to believe it was #1 v #8 ~ can't see who can stop Sinner although will be interesting with Shelton given his power.
