Shane Watson: Former Australia all-rounder retires - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/54791895Would our antipodean friends care to venture an opinion on Watto? - Fave innings, career appraisal etc. I'm resisting the urge to post about him being scared of Ghosts and Goughie letting him know it - no I'm not >

He was basically the only Aussie who turned up for the 2012 WT20 and his efforts were enough to get us a semi final berth. His batting record is deceptive as he only averaged 29 but his bowling, both average and rconomy rate, was top shelf. In tests he was hurt by selection. Watto is a perfectably acceptable test all rounder who should have batted 6 or 7 and bowled 20-25 overs over a two inning test match. Instead he was selected much of his career as an opening bat, which I think hurt his productivity slightly with the bat and certainly with the ball. His best innings was the 160 odd he scored at the Oval in 2013...batting 6. His best bowling performance was his 5-21 which skittled South Africa for 96 at Newlands (a spell that was instantly overshadowed by Philander's 5-15 in Australia's abysmal 47 all out). But he didn't bowl enough. He bats lower he bowls more. 75 wickets at 33 should have been many more. In ODIs his record sits comfortably with any batting all rounder of his era. His batting record alone (5700 runs at 40) is top shelf. When you add 168 wickets at 31 it puts him comfortably in our best 15-20 ODI players ever and possibly top 10.

I personally believe that was he a couple of kg less he could have been even more successful. The thing about that is Watson was hardened, muscular fit. He was a monster, pecs, glutes and quads for miles. Built like the proverbial brick outhouse. Great for virtually every sport other than cricket. Lean and Lithe works better, but hey, that’s what happens when all the sports science and high performance management are all football based....

Adam Zampa. What an underrated awesome spinner. I don't know if he's under rated. He's rated exactly where he should be: a first choice T20 spinner whose returns diminish as the format gets longer.

David Warner's IPL or Indian version is the king of cool. I mean you can't recognize the guy. He is more cool that Steve McQueen. Almost always smiling. No swearing. Even when team was playing bad he had a smile. To be honest I always dislike guys like Kohli and Warner. But for the first time in my life I actually liked Warner. He should stay like this.

I think Zampa should be put in league of best spinners after anyone named Rashid Khan. I think he doesn't get as much credit even in t-20 as he deserves. He has troubled India in past, which is a pretty good measure for judging spinners. Very surprisingly Zampa is 28. If you ask a random person unaware of cricket to guess his age, they would guess him not more than 23 or 24.

He's a perfectly acceptable ODI spinner and a long way off the pace in the longer stuff.

Zampa was told his services for South Australia in the Sheffield Shield were no longer required - and he got knocked back by both Western Australia and Tasmania too. Says a lot about his red ball form.
Like a lot of bowlers of his ilk, and the IPL is full of them, Zampa’s quickish flat wrist spin with little sideways movement both ways and different bounces works an absolute treat in T20 cricket, and to a certain extent ODI cricket. At first class and Test level it’s not threatening at all, because batsmen don’t have to force the pace. The ‘good’ balls are easily defended, and the bad balls just as easy to score off. 10-1-25-0 is fantastic in an ODI. 30-5-75-1 is mediocre in 1st Class cricket.

How suffragette pavilion fire outraged Tunbridge Wells … and Conan Doyle Arson sparked fury, including from the cricket-loving writer, but he soon switched from opponent to champion of equality www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/nov/10/how-suffragette-pavilion-fire-outraged-tunbridge-wells-and-conan-doyle-cricket“The second meeting was convened by the National League for Opposing Women’s Suffrage, and packed out the town’s Great Hall. The star speaker, having made the nine-mile journey from his home in Windlesham Manor (now a care home), was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author and incurable sports nut, who had mounted in the hall at home the mud-flecked cricket bat with which he had once made a century at Lord’s (he made 10 first-class appearances for the MCC and took one first-class wicket: WG Grace).”
