Was Warne better than Bradman in the Ashes? Of course not yet two British papers have just said so.

Indeed! I love what he said in the lead-up to the dismissal as well (I didn’t include it in my video because I wanted to keep it short).
It is very conversational and relaxed and makes 1948 suddenly not seem so distant.
Golden silence!
When Bradman got his last innings duck, the radio commentator
paused . . .
paused . . .
paused . . .
It was brilliant but today he’d be fired!
(Thanks to @norcrosscricket.bsky.social for alerting me to this a couple of years ago!)

Great tribute to Bob Simpson by Steve Waugh:
Foxtel really should be sending cricket commentators to the ground.
By not going to Darwin they reduced the quality of the coverage.
I don’t blame the commentators - it’s a hard gig to call it from a studio.

Watched about 11 hours of Test cricket yesterday.
My ability to watch on delay and jump between balls and land just as the bowler is running in is at a career peak.
Only Jadeja and Roston Chase, challenge me: they cycle between their balls so rapidly.

1991: I secretly watched each night without parents knowing
1995: epic
1999: went to a pub with friend and watched
2003: took time of work to stay up and watch
It’s fallen away since but I’d love it if this Caribbean series returns to a semblance of former greatness
#WIvAUS
Can England do (nearly) a Bradman?
His last ever runs in Test cricket (173*) led to the highest ever chase at Leeds.

Ha! Nice to be quoted in the same breath as Gideon Haigh.
If you look closely, you might detect a subtle difference in our relative style and vocabulary . . .

Did you see the ICC video??
Meant to be celebrating the WTC final - but instead has 11 shots of Jay Shah in it.
It’s so weird! It’s hilarious!
