Clarke abandons teammates and fans
Allan Border famously banned wives and girlfriends from travelling with the Australian cricket team on the 1989 Ashes tour of England. Border insisted that winning had to come first, and that’s what happened. He still cops flak about the decision from some of the (ex) players’ wives, apparently. However, it…

Alternative cricket uniforms required
The International Cricket Council (ICC) ought to make itself meaningful by sorting out the confusion of colored uniforms clashing in one-day internationals. It’s ridiculous to see players from Australia and Pakistan in virtually identical strips. They may as well be wearing whites. It’s not Pakistan’s fault either. Australia used to…

Kim Hughes’ demise a cyring shame
Hard to believe it’s 25 years since Kim Hughes broke down at a press conference at the Gabba while announcing his resignation from the Australian captaincy. Mike Coward relives the moment in The Australian. Kids today are so used to Australia winning they can’t relate to the turmoil that existed…

Encourage cricket in Indonesia
The demise of the West Indies is rather sad, really. They were the dominant cricket power when I was a boy; today they’re a rabble. Peter Roebuck has suggested they may be better off forming national sides based on their countries, eg Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, etc. If…

Charles Coventry this week set a new world record score for batting in a one-day international cricket match. The fact he achieved it for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh means it has largely slipped under the radar. It was a marvellous achievement. Likewise, the massive strike by Brendan Taylor a few years…

It was a great bowling performance by Australia in the first innings of the fourth Ashes test. Peter Siddle, who comes from my home region of the Latrobe Valley, took five wickets and Stuart Clarke looked impressive in his comeback game. Australia will probably win this match, which sets things…
