This is probably region blocked in aus but as I live in a country that has no broadcast rights of the WC I just bought it: http://www.starsports.com/ssplus/index.html $25, all matches and the quality is as good as your connection, includes warm up games.

Fox aren't doing a streaming package for non subscribers do they ? They do one for the EPL which is pretty sweet value if you don't have fox.

Is there actually any evidence that David Warner is racist aside from him asking someone who he was speaking to to use a language that they both actually spoke and understood?

he's a Matraville houso, it would be more likely than not

Ponting is pretty rubbish - he's not as bad as the matiest mates who ever mated crew but he's pretty dull and uninformative


Warney is usually pretty good on sky

If Australia had batted like this in the first innings they would be in with a shout for this match.

They have given 3 chances so far (2 dropped and a NB)

The A Team are in india so the players would come from there:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/a-team-tri-series-2015/engine/match/892963.html

The top 2 have to be brought in (I have NFI why Burns isn't on tour already.

It's very very thin on leadership beyond Smith, No doubt Warner would be VC and he is exactly the sort of calming influence and leader of men you want to bring a new generation through :(



Wish Phil Hughes was around :(

Steve Waugh, Bob Simpson are two that immediatly come to mind. The biggest issue with Hughes is how he was screwed around with, never really given a chance to settle, got coached into a knot and self doubt. Maybe he would have had another chance and taken it, maybe he would have failed, it's all a guess. But he was fairly close to being recalled off hte back of plenty of FC runs and he would have almost certainly been in the World Cup squad.

My point about Hughes was that he was at least a good age and had a good record (46 at FC level) to make it at test level. We don't really seem to have a lot at the ~27 yo mark.

His first class record since he was dropped in England was outstanding:



FFS you've got useless cunts like Smarsh being picked who average 60% of what Hughes did and are 5 years older.


Also holy crap how little first class cricket players play these days :(
