Usual shambles when cricket authorities do anything. England fly home Thursday so can't see them playing 3 games in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyhog Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Just read that 2 England squad members have now tested +. Not looking good for SA cricket,they've got a few more teams supposed to play there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillearly Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The last time a big-name baggy green was auctioned off it fetched more than $1m and, when bidding opens this week for Sir Don Bradman’s first Australian cricket cap, there are hopes even that record can be broken. Auctioneers are confident the amount paid for the dog-eared hat that debuted in the 1928-29 series against England will rival the proceeds from the sale of Shane Warne’s cap, which raised $1,007,500 for the Australian Red Cross bushfire appeal in January this year. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/dec/09/don-bradmans-first-baggy-green-expected-to-fetch-seven-figure-sum-at-auction?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1607448550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 This is an excerpt from John Edrich's obituary....thank f**k we have neutral umpires these days. In the 1970-71 series, Edrich’s 648 runs helped Ray Illingworth’s team win 2-0, despite the Australian umpires’ refusal to grant England a single lbw decision in six Tests.

galenkia Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Started the documentary series on Amazon earlier called 'The Test', which follows the Australian cricket team over the 18 month period following the ball tampering scandal. First episode is great, features the 5-0 ODI series win by England . 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
