Was Warne better than Bradman in the Ashes? Of course not yet two British papers have just said so. For my rebuttal: pauldennett.substack.com/p/super-over... #theashes #shanewarne #cricket

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!) #theashes

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. #AUSvRSA

Game was in Darwin, commentators in Sydney - and it showed. #cricket #ausvsa

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. #ENGvIND #WIvsAUS

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. #engvsind #indvseng

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 . . . #cricket

An Aussie reporter gets deliberately shot by a rubber bullet by a US officer. The reporter had done nothing wrong. It should be the top 10 stories in every Aussie newspaper! The shooter should be found, prosecuted and jailed. How the hell is THIS the SMH lead story?!

It’s 95 years - almost to the minute - since Bradman first batted in England. There was speculation about how he would go on English pitches. He soon made it clear, with a dazzling 236 v Worcestershire. This was the start of his torment of Worcestershire . . . (a short thread)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to astonish! Bradman was 17 when his genius first *fully* appeared. There were no academies a century ago to harness his talent, so it is hard to compare. But an IPL hundred at 14 - off 35 balls - is incredible! #IPL2025 #RRvsGT

Very sad to hear of the death of Keith Stackpole. Part of the voice of my childhood on channel 9. Only last night I heard him on 1983/84 highlights. Here he is in the Sydney Morning Herald, having a beer after scoring a century in Brisbane on the first day of the 1970/71 Ashes.
