Commentators are fond of advocating low-percentage exciting options like captains declaring on anorexic leads and players swishing their bats like...

Are you referring to his stats at the Adelaide Oval specifically? Because otherwise I can't see how that could be true. Green absolutely should be...

There are a number of attacking spinners playing in the BBL. Not all of them are Australian, unfortunately, but it's probably time to give one of...

I recall, but can not find an internet source to back up my recollection, that when the 1st Test at Adelaide was being played, there was a stat...

Yes I imagine Magnus won't be too thrilled with 3 draws from those 3 games where he had some chances, especially with the rating differences. +1...

That is very interesting data, I know that in the second half of 2020 tournaments were very bottom heavy with juniors after the COVID break from...

The thing that caught my attention in the opening post was not so much the commentary on underrated juniors, but rather: From what I see, this is...

Jill Biden has class, as did the line of previous FLOTUS. Melania and the Trump family wouldn't know what class was if it bit them on the bum.

Bundaberg Chess has returned from aestivation and is open on Wednesday nights from 1800. Look forward to seeing you there.

Very interesting blog. I liked it to help. Good luck with the initiative!

I completely agree but I would also argue that if you look at Australian juniors and other national events (even include doeberl etc) and compare...

Lady Biden is highly educated in contrast to Melania - it would have showed.

Lyon's a good bowler but not a great one; people were banging on about him taking more wickets than anyone else since his debut and the main reason...

respect QLD chess!

Shouldn't they have had to do 14 days in isolation, regardless if there was a case on the flight or not? If so, why hadn't they arranged to do the...

You should probably address your question to the thread starter, but by my reading the answer would be no.

I hate to say it, but the problem there is clearly Lyon. Starc is okay as a backup fast bowler, but Lyon isn't taking wickets on the fifth day when...

So the whole point is Queensland has a lot of under rated juniors?

Yeah you aint kidding on the bowling figures. Hazlewood 17 wickets @ 19. Cummins 21 wickets @ 20. Starc 11 wickets @ 40 Lyon 9 wickets @ 55....

And they're not alone, which is exactly the point, I guess.

Brilliant famous victory by India in both the match and the series under very difficult conditions. A worry for Australia that only two bowlers had...

A very prescient analysis - it seems that records are made to be broken!
