Australia so democratic a cricket journalist can't retweet news about a genocide without losing his job.

The Indian team didn't raise a complaint when fans at the same venue did this to Shami earlier this year. I hope the PCB complains now because too many Indian fans have gotten away with unapologetic Islamophobia for far too long.

India have two of the greatest, most unique wicket-taking geniuses in the world in their squad. Both are fit and neither is playing.

Anyone who watched Washington Sundar run out of partners on 85 and 96, in the space of three Tests in 2021, when he had no idea when he'd get his next opportunity in the format, would understand how desperately he wants that maiden hundred now.

What we know after 50 overs: 1) Don't judge a pitch until both sides have bowled on it. 2) Free Palestine.

This is deplorable. All of the cricket media should stand with @plalor and condemn SEN's actions.

Shreyas Iyer was out for a duck edging the same no-footwork poke that Travis Head happened to play and miss twice in a row early in his innings. It's how batting works. It doesn't diminish Head's innings, and it shouldn't diminish your estimation of Iyer's talent.
