BCCI have been sympathetic towards this tragic twist leading up to this series .... BUT IND are going to get a cut arse for sure given the emotions running through the AUS team at the moment !!!

  I  agree crocodile tears and hypocrites  .  Aussies are a win at all costs people and they will do anything to win  even seriously maiming the opposition. Brett Lee against that English CNN  talk show host was a perfect example.

For those of you who thought quite inappropriately that Phillip Hughes was being portrayed as something of a saint in his death ... you couldn't be further from the truth...

His funeral service was a family and small country town event, despite the 'who's who in cricket and dignitaries' being present in enormous numbers.  Watching on I thought it could've been the same of a Windies player from a small country village somewhere in the Caribbean.

His mother's reaction to having lost a son was heartbreaking ... her loud cry and touching his coffin as to never let go was overwhelming, his father's expression and grief as a pall bearer was gut wrenching.

One of his best friend's reading (who knew nothing of cricket and who met Hughesy at a Farmer's Cattle Fair) as to what that young country boy's future dream was awe inspiring, as he had made a 10 year plan as to his future after cricket ... which was to have a beautiful country property and a whole lot of his beloved Angus Cattle.

In fact, I honestly never knew there was so much to this young fellow outside of cricket ... so much achieved and so many plans for the future made at such a young age.  He certainly achieved a lot in his 25 years and had aspiring plans for the future ......

Not once did he let his head drop when he faced non selection by the selectors... Just used any set back as a come back, no prima donna attitude, just hard work .... what an inspirational young man who had a real goal and perspective in life without the seemingly fake and bling of some of our present day WI cricketers.  Michael Clarke who couldn't keep it quite together in the emotional circumstances after a hard week, said it all .....

An aspiring young man and cricketer whose life was taken too soon ......and so sad !!  RIP !!! .... and that's all I have to say !![/i]

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
