@barbarian gee I hope this sorts itself out quickly. If the Ashes are cancelled I will be gutted.
I would love to know how much the Ashes are worth to CA. Surely that in itself would be enough to try and get things moving?
With IPL and the like, CA have minimal leverage here, and might do well to work that out sooner rather than later. Top cricketers are worth coin elsewhere, and if CA are going to be difficult, there is not a lot of incentive to hang around Australia.

Veteran ABC commentator Drew Morphett has passed away.
One of the voices of ABC Cricket.

LOL we're getting fucking dismantled by Bangladesh in Dhaka. Some particularly stupid shot selections have not helped us, along with Wade failing to review with 2 reviews left and the replay showing he was safe. Fucking hell.
Bangles lead by 104 with 8 wickets in hand. Australia to bat last, probably some time late today (Day 3) or early tomorrow
-
Great result for the Bangles. Amazing that we haven't lost to them yet (yet!) but the Aussies have! The pitch was turning square, hard to bat on, but that is the subcontinent. Really good batsmen adapt.
Going to be a great series. How long since the Ockers won a test series over there?

Well done Bangladesh, always been a fan
If Shakib played for England or Oz he'd be considered a superstar of the game
He has a few parallels with Sir Paddles, including (but not only):
2- Number of cricketers to score a half-century and take ten wickets in a match more than once. By achieving this feat in Mirpur, Shakib Al Hasan joined a rare club with Richard Hadlee. The New Zealand great did this thrice, one more than Shakib, who also became the sixth cricketer to achieve this double against Australia.
Shakib joins Hadlee in rare club
The Bangladesh allrounder emulates New Zealand great in scoring a half-century and taking a ten-for in the same Test more than once

No more Ch.9 cricket commentary it appears.

I don't think it's any surprise that it has gone south as soon as Michael Clarke was given an expanded role...
Jesus, imagine Bruce McAvaney doing the cricket? "you just feel like the next wicket is crucial don't you?"
"yeeesss, he's a champion isn't he?"
Who will be his Cyril Rioli?
Foxtel do cricket very well, Brendan Julian leads their roster with a great deal of professionalism, and just enough personality.
Overpaid prima donnas
