Tom Bruce, the free spirit who has finally found his identity as a cricketer
He was the next big thing, and then he wasn't, but the New Zealand batter has bounced right back with a phenomenal sequence of scores
Quite a good read, and also some interesting technical food for thought in there about evolving to an off-stump guard and batting out of his crease.

South Africa must be THE most inconsistent team in world cricket at the moment. Coming back to beat the BCs after an absolute hiding earlier this year and now struggling against England after each team giving the other a hiding by an innings in the first two tests.

The great man would have now turned 60.

Ah well, we can always take comfort knowing we won the first one
Gosh England play a lot of cricket

Ponting 30 from 365Still averages under 50 in test cricket though. I’d pick Smith, Labuschagne, KW and Root over him in the format that counts.
Crikey, that’s a nice middle order !

Aus have decided not to play Afghanistan in the UAE because of the Talibans abuses of women's rights. Which is interesting because they just toured Pakistan, but I guess they have an "acceptable level of oppressing women" gauge and Afghanistan must have just tipped over the limit.

Hmmm... I do sort of understand politics / sports, but this doesn't seem right to me.
How many players in the Afghan team are Taliban?

@No-Quarter My immediate thought was - how convenient.

Poor old Michael Clarke. Finds himself the victim of Domestic Violence. He has already lost one contract and looks like losing a commentary gig in India as well. Imagine the outrage if this happened to a chick.

NZC seems to tolerate the same old "high performance" staff and selectors making the same mistakes time after time with the White Ferns. You could make a decent top order out of players they've discarded early or forced into retirement. Their next trick will probably be to drop Sophie Devine for a kid still playing Riverbend.
