I believe this is true. I won't mention any names in case either of them is embarrassed about it, but plenty of Melbourne players can confirm it.

Wade's normal position has been at 5, which he batted in the last two tests. And I commented that I think his time is up. So my comments in regards...

I just noticed that Pelosi signed the second impeachment with only one pen not the multitude used for the first impeachment. Every Dem congressman...

I think I heard today that confirmation came through. So no escape but love it.

Those are total numbers, with the horizontal bars going from 0 to 600. I truncated the image, losing the left-hand axes, because I didn't see any...

A very interesting comparison. However, I strongly suspect that ACF ratings in Qld are not directly comparable to those in other states. According...

He has a first-class average of 50 so I'd be persisting with him for at least a few more Tests as a batsman alone in preference to Wade. And the...

Hi Patrick is this total number of players I can't see the entire image? Would it be possible to work it out based on averages. Of course with NSW...

No. The stats shown were Mitchell Starc's results in pink ball tests compared to red ball tests. But yes, there will be a large bias towards Adelaide...

Slightly off topic but c/- a random conversation in a Hobart cafe, I have reason to believe that a strong Australian player who has been generous in...

Punter was calling for an earlier declaration in the 3rd test also, mid second session day 4. He said the aussies already had enough and India...

Forgot I'd posted this. +2=10-56 now.

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...
