No balls
Across this line you do not cross

Geoff Lawson has been certain for years. There is mad conspiracy. Cricket isn’t a fair game. Every rule change across the last thirty years, Lawson claims, has made the game easier for batsmen. The advent of one-day cricket and 20/20 is to placate batsmen at the expense of bowlers.
Reigning Pride Cup champ selects his best Test cricket side
G’day Matt
I thought the reigning Pride Cup champion should have his say too!
I have to start by saying that, being born in 1971, I didn’t see a lot of 1970s cricket (too young and not really all that interested) and only started watching cricket from the early 80s onwards. For this reason I have not chosen some players who otherwise could be in the team, or perhaps deserve to be, like the Chappell brothers and Doug Walters.
