    The gentleman's game. And the game I grew up playing throughout my child and teenage years. Well it's summer here in Australia so it's cricket season and we are currently in a test series with the West Indies and the BBL started the other night. It's the holidays here and this is where I become a couch potato with the cricket and tennis on all day. :')

    Do you watch International Cricket?

    What Domestic Leagues do you follow?

    Any fans from England?

    What an effort by adelaide tonight, i thought with about 5 over left when maxwell was tonking them around everywhere that the stars were going to take the win but as is always the case in 20/20 cricket 1 or 2 wickets and the whole game changes, is great having the BBL back. It's going to be the year of the Hobart Hurricane!

    Gone are the days where I used to be a rabid fan of cricket. Favourite player ever for me is Mr. Cricket himself Mike Hussey. :allears:

    Looking forward to who we select for the Boxing Day test match against the Windies.

    They didn't retain it, they took it off us. Remember that 5-0 sweep? :emoji_wink:

    My favourite whitewash would be the 06/07 series. :banderas:

    I loved the Amazing Adelaide test. Hussey with those winning runs.

    Huss is one of my favourites as well along with Gilly. They were impossible to dislike, great guys and very modest about their Cricket.

    They were both Left armed as well, so I automatically love them. :')

    I wonder how many Melbourne Stars fans are going to switch to the Renegades.

    That last over was crucial for Perth. Hopefully our batting can chase this score! Go Adelaide!

    Ah well. :emoji_wink:



    Alex Ross with another impressive innings! Surely worth a call up for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

    Adil Rashid an English player who was really impressive with a ball and came in at the end to get the winning runs.

    Boxing Day Test!!! Australia v West Indies.

    Australia running away with this pretty easily. The Windies bowling attack really needs to improve and their batting isn't that much better with the little crisis their having in the past year with their star players refusing to play Tests.
