When the great Ricky Ponting was coming to the end, our cricket writers and commentators like Conn and Craddock had him nailed to the cross. The lack of criticism over the last few years heading Davey Warner’s way in comparison is mind blowing. His batting average over the last

However you look at it, England’s decision to declare on day one of the first Test has cost them the Ashes. They should have escaped with draw at the very least. Absolute arrogant lunacy from Stokes and McCullum That’s the biggest issue not the Manchester rain. #Bazzball

@piersmorgan I was a second grade opener that couldn’t hit it off the square. I also batted 2 feet out of my crease. With the knowledge of two things. Make sure I’m back in crease when ball hits keepers gloves. Also secondly wait till over is called by umpire. It’s Out ☝️

With his 8th dismissal for the match, The Captain Tim Paine now has most dismissals average per an innings in test match history. (Top 50 keepers) 137 in his 30 Tests. On the back of his batting, it’s been a tremendous week individually. Most importantly another series win.
