A-League serves as warning to Big Bash League

Here lie the remains of Gold Coast United (2008-2012), a team who due to short vision were short-lived. May they rest in peace. Welcome to the tombs of teams gone by, a graveyard littered with faded dynastys and failed expansions. In seven short seasons the A-League has witnessed the death of three sides, who now [...]

Sporting codes treading on each other’s toes

The timing of the Allan Border Medal, Australian cricket’s night of nights, says a lot about the messy scheduling of the cricket season.

Why I hate Twenty20 cricket

by Garfield Robinson - February 13th 2012 @ 6:36am

Sheffield Shield key for Australian cricket

by GarethIan - January 31st 2012 @ 6:47am

Throughout the summer there has been a lot of focus placed on the Big Bash League and its impact on the Sheffield Shield and in-turn Test cricket.

Sheffield Shield returns following forced BBL hiatus

by owenteakle87 - January 31st 2012 @ 6:31am

With the Sheffield Shield season recommencing on Thursday, it will be interesting to see which players are quickest back into form following the competitions six-week hiatus, and whether the break will be a impediment to the continuing form of players pressing for higher honours.
