+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xHere is another puzzler. Which Oz captain took 11 wickets in a match. It was in the 80s. Name the venue and the opposition for a bonus point. Easy. AB vs WI SCG 88/89 Dead rubber test. 4 and 7 wickets. This really was just too easy... :P Tougher one... A player in that test match shown up by Allan Border's all round game, had the chance to show up AB a little over a year later, who was the player and what was the Australian record (no longer held) that he claimed in the process? Technically he still holds the Australian record if declaration innings are not counted... Reminder - this guy played in the Allan Border 11 wickets test... For a further hint - I will say focus on the bowlers... Slow bowler.. Greg Matthews? Have a feeling he got 10 wkts in the famous tied test in India. the one where Jones almost died from heat exhaustion. That is one less than AB tho. Did he get a ton in the series too? I did Greg Matthews. Tied test was 1986 - that was before Border's 11. The answer was Peter Taylor, in March 1990 he claimed the Australian record score for a night watchman, where he was the highest scorer in a completed innings - even scoring more than AB (who was left not out). Before you say Jason Gillespie's 201 - that is the new record - but the innings was never completed as Aus declared after just 4 wickets... So for completed innings, Taylor's record for Aus still stands. It was a tricky one... But like I say - if I said night watchman - you'd get it too easily. What was the record score or should I take a look. Paddles have you heard about the feud between Greg Matthews and the Waugh boys? No - but Mo lost his spot in the team to Steve, and Mo's test batting record stands up to Mark Waugh's. A bigger problem for Mo I believe was when he brought a journo into the team tour - who went on to publish about the sexual exploits of the players - which was awkward when 13 of the players had wives on the tour... So that made him more than a touch unpopular with the team. Interesting career for Mo. NZ really gave it to him when he claimed this catch. Apparently a toilet seat was thrown at him during the series...  But yeah - your trivia question just reminded me of him immediately with the batting average and the air guitar stuff.

There's one reason why I didn't play more and the brothers [translation: his Australian team-mates] know the reasons why I wasn't picked, and it wasn't because my bowling average was 48. I can't say why; I'm going to write it myself.
Could the reason Mo wrote that (above) be over this sexual expose? "a touch unpopular" that is a gross understatement I am imagining. Tell me a bit about "that catch"?

What I have been interested in whether the crowds were giving it to him before and this happened, which Border and Mathews tend to suggest is the case, or whether this sparked it... I mean don't get me wrong, NZC crowds don't need a reason to go after Warner for instance. And they really do go after Warner. Even our media goes after Warner. But Matthews gave a huge reason to the crowd. Warner must absolutely loathe coming to NZ.

Who wouldn't.. until it was overturned. Can not see anything different with this to not walking when you know full well you got bat on it.

A lot went down on that tour - read Border's bio on it. Or Mo's... There were even allegations of drug set ups and all sorts. Do some reasearch into it - it was an interesting tour - because AB kept threatening to resign the captaincy...

Egg throwing. No yoke? Of course you are going to claim the catch. If it was not overturned.. blame the officials not Mo..The eggs should have been aimed at the umpires.

Mo may have under achieved with the ball on the biggest stage but his FC record is phenomenal. He is the only cricketer in Shield history to achieve the 5,000 run-300 wicket double. There was a reason Steve Waugh said that Mo “was always excellent for the shock-value element, but also a guy who could play better than he probably ever realised and whose record as an all-rounder for NSW is unrivalled.”

Not defending the egg throwing, not defending the NZ crowd behaviour to Mo, but no - don't claim the catch... don't ever claim the catch... Yes NZ crowds got ugly with Mo. It was quite a talking point at the time. Easily the most ugly incidents of crowd behaviour in NZ involved Matthews.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xHere is another puzzler. Which Oz captain took 11 wickets in a match. It was in the 80s. Name the venue and the opposition for a bonus point. Easy. AB vs WI SCG 88/89 Dead rubber test. 4 and 7 wickets. This really was just too easy... :P Tougher one... A player in that test match shown up by Allan Border's all round game, had the chance to show up AB a little over a year later, who was the player and what was the Australian record (no longer held) that he claimed in the process? Technically he still holds the Australian record if declaration innings are not counted... Reminder - this guy played in the Allan Border 11 wickets test... For a further hint - I will say focus on the bowlers... Slow bowler.. Greg Matthews? Have a feeling he got 10 wkts in the famous tied test in India. the one where Jones almost died from heat exhaustion. That is one less than AB tho. Did he get a ton in the series too? I did Greg Matthews. Tied test was 1986 - that was before Border's 11. The answer was Peter Taylor, in March 1990 he claimed the Australian record score for a night watchman, where he was the highest scorer in a completed innings - even scoring more than AB (who was left not out). Before you say Jason Gillespie's 201 - that is the new record - but the innings was never completed as Aus declared after just 4 wickets... So for completed innings, Taylor's record for Aus still stands. It was a tricky one... But like I say - if I said night watchman - you'd get it too easily. What was the record score or should I take a look. Paddles have you heard about the feud between Greg Matthews and the Waugh boys? No - but Mo lost his spot in the team to Steve, and Mo's test batting record stands up to Mark Waugh's. A bigger problem for Mo I believe was when he brought a journo into the team tour - who went on to publish about the sexual exploits of the players - which was awkward when 13 of the players had wives on the tour... So that made him more than a touch unpopular with the team. Interesting career for Mo. NZ really gave it to him when he claimed this catch. Apparently a toilet seat was thrown at him during the series... But yeah - your trivia question just reminded me of him immediately with the batting average and the air guitar stuff. There's one reason why I didn't play more and the brothers [translation: his Australian team-mates] know the reasons why I wasn't picked, and it wasn't because my bowling average was 48. I can't say why; I'm going to write it myself.
Could the reason Mo wrote that (above) be over this sexual expose? "a touch unpopular" that is a gross understatement I am imagining. Tell me a bit about "that catch"? The tour thing didn't help him is the common belief - but I really wouldn't know. "That catch" is clearly not a catch... He has both feet past the boundary and is standing on the rope :P He got pinged big time, so the NZ crowds really gave it to him... What I have been interested in whether the crowds were giving it to him before and this happened, which Border and Mathews tend to suggest is the case, or whether this sparked it... I mean don't get me wrong, NZC crowds don't need a reason to go after Warner for instance. And they really do go after Warner. Even our media goes after Warner. But Matthews gave a huge reason to the crowd. Warner must absolutely loathe coming to NZ. Pic shows Mo clearly stepping on the rope. So what ensured? I suppose he called for the catch. Who wouldn't.. until it was overturned. Can not see anything different with this to not walking when you know full well you got bat on it. Wasn't overturned. Mo claimed the catch and it was awarded. But the cameras were everywhere - he got pinged, and the crowds went for him... But the crowds already had been anyway - he was "egged" during the first test... https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/118207239The NZ Almanack even included his "catch" as a well "f you" really. A lot went down on that tour - read Border's bio on it. Or Mo's... There were even allegations of drug set ups and all sorts. Do some reasearch into it - it was an interesting tour - because AB kept threatening to resign the captaincy... Pinged? You mean the egg throwing. By these reports not only Oz has ugly crowds. Egg throwing. No yoke? Of course you are going to claim the catch. If it was not overturned.. blame the officials not Mo..The eggs should have been aimed at the umpires. Mo may have under achieved with the ball on the biggest stage but his FC record is phenomenal. He is the only cricketer in Shield history to achieve the 5,000 run-300 wicket double. There was a reason Steve Waugh said that Mo “was always excellent for the shock-value element, but also a guy who could play better than he probably ever realised and whose record as an all-rounder for NSW is unrivalled.” Useful player for sure...

This second section is with the English Dukes ball. Now we will find out those best suited to facing the moving ball which will be used in the Ashes.
Some interesting facts have emerged re the batsmen at the top of the list against the Dukes after two seasons and they will surprise. The man leading the charge is the under rated West Aussie Hilton Cartwright with the impressive figures of 932 runs at @58.. Another is Blues FC underachiever Moie Henriques who when put against the Dukes grows another hand..802 @ 57. My long term opener Matthew Renshaw plundered 654 runs @73 last year alone – the highest batting average among the leading 20 Dukes run-scorers. The biggest bombshell among this elite group is discarded test man Aaron Finch. Recalled Joe Burns is sitting pretty also with 637 @53 while Kurtis Patterson has 698 runs at @46.5, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head both average around @40. Some food for the mind here CA.

Evidently the young man's curse has hit yet another of our mature bowlers.. Dan Worrall who many have pencilled in for a berth in our Ashes squad has been battling back pain for two months and will miss the next Shield round.

Typical. After the hottest January on record in NSW and an interminable wait for the return of the Shield the Blues v Warriors match at Bankstown Oval has been delayed by showers. which are sweeping Sydney as an aftermarth of the northern cyclone. Does anyone know whether BO has a good drainage system?
BLUES XI: Daniel Hughes, Nick Larkin, Kurtis Patterson, Moises Henriques, Jason Sangha, Peter Nevill (c), Jack Edwards, Stephen O'Keefe, Trent Copeland, Sean Abbott, Harry Conway.
WARRIORS XI: Cameron Bancroft, Sam Whiteman, Josh Inglis, Hilton Cartwright, Will Bosisto, Josh Philippe, Brad Hope, Joel Paris, Matt Kelly, Liam Guthrie, Liam O'Connor

Renshaw out to Holland for 29. Not the kind of innings he needed to push for an Ashes spot. Burns and Labuschagne now together.

Good to see Australia's premier keeper back with the gloves for the Tigers. Will be interesting to see how promoted Wade handles the xtra pressure of batting n the top order.

No Pattinson for Victoria, if he cannot make the Victorian team there is no way he is going to be in the Ashes squad.

Rain has stopped with play underway at Bankstown Oval after a long delay.. I am thinking the Blues wont mind bowling in these overcast conditions. Bradley Hope making his Warriors debut I believe. A former Under 19 all rounder. Sam Whiteman opening for the WA boys. Now that is interesting.

As a South Aussie TF what are your views on the leftie stacked batting order of the Redbacks?
