Having grown up in Launny, I've got extremely personal reasons for thinking The Examiner is a low rent rag. It would appear that things haven't improved, given this stuff up. Who the editor is is illuminating though. "Mr Westfield was appointed editor of the Examiner — Tasmania's second-largest...

Tassie has won its second WNCL title in amazing circumstances. The Tigers batted first and were 3-244 and in a strong position, only to lose 7-20 to end up all out 264. In a rain affected reply, the Scorpions entered the final over needing 4 to win (under the D/L method) with 5 wickets in hand...

NSW has won the toss and batted. Currently 1-133, with Nikitaris the only wicket to fall to a blinder of a catch by Silk. NSW: Daniel Hughes, Blake Nikitaras, Kurtis Patterson (c), Moises Henriques, Jason Sangha, Matthew Gilkes (wk), Sean Abbott, Chris Green, Chris Tremain, Adam Zampa, Liam...

Former Australian fast bowler Alan Thomson has passed away. He had a unique "windmill", wrong foot, bowling action. He played 4 tests in 70-71 against England, but couldn't replicate his first-class success unfortunately. He holds a couple of records - he took the first ever wicket in ODI's...

This belongs on the domestic board but I'll post it here until Gough moves it. ;) A big day for Tassie today with the women taking out the WNCL 50 over title with an emphatic win at Bellerive Oval. SA 8-242 were defeated by Tassie 1-245, with both Manix-Geeves & Villani both scoring unbeaten...

The rather prolific author Ken Piesse has penned a book about each of Australia's one Test players, called 15 Minutes of Fame. I'm not here to spruik the book, in fact I'm a long time customer of Australia's other major cricket book seller, Roger Page...

At the sadly young age of 58. He only averaged 25 in f-c cricket, but it needs to be remembered that he retired from the game when he was only 24. But he is fondly remembered as an administrator in his later years, both with the MCC & the SACA. RIP...

I came across this recently, regarding a very famous (infamous) incident in 1974 involving Tony Greig and Alvin Kallicharran. I knew of it well, but had never seen footage of it - it's in here. I'll let people make their own judgments. Greig was a great cricketer but he was a bit of a Richard...

The first ever ODI was played in Melbourne on the 5th January, 1971, after the Melbourne Test was called off due to three days of rain. The match was 40 x 8 ball overs per side, with Australia winning quite comfortably in the end by 5 wickets with more than 5 overs to spare. John Edrich hit...

RIP Graeme Watson, former Test cricketer, he also played VFL football for Melbourne. He was a pretty solid all-rounder who didn't really get an extended chance at Test level, despite making 50 on his debut in South Africa in 66-67. He had to be hospitalized after being snotted in the head by a...

I think it is from the Futures League match Tas v WA last week - Jake Carder the (opening) batsman, Sam Rainbird the bowler. I'm struggling to remember seeing a worse leave than this one.

I've been following the game for a long time and I must say I never have. In a womens' senior final in Sydney on the weekend, one of the sides was late out after half-time. All the usual sirens had been blown, the umpires waited more, one umpire ran over to the rooms and blew his whistle. Still...
