Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
Excellent article written in the Sydney Morning Herald that backs up pretty much what I have been hearing at work and on the street - http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/...129-2ygts.html
In fact it would only be those few people in the courier mail press office and the small number of Aussie supporters that post here that love that kind of thing.
Great to see something written that is closer to the real Aussie view point.
And what is most irksome - the whole anti-Broad ''campaign'' rested on a phony premise. An English person visiting Brisbane for the Test and reading The Courier-Mail would assume that the newspaper represented an Australian attitude. What it represented was the idea of a few people in a newspaper office using the biggest show in town to get its ''brand'' before the public.

Interesting to see a batsman's take on the threat posed by Johnson.

Bresnan is circling for a spot.
From an opposition point of view, I'd prefer someone like Bairstow. I rate Bresnan. He could be dangerous.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
Lots of rain here in Adelaide today. More showers forecast for Thursday. Clouds for Friday. Bright sun for Saturday (32°C) & Sunday (36°C).
Whoever bats first will have a chance to shape the entire game. If it's England, they will either win or draw. I have a nasty feeling our batsmen will not keep up.
