Australia vs. India, the third t-20 game in the 2020 series. Australia are 2-0 down and even though they scored a competitive 186/5 batting first at the Sydney Cricket Ground, India remained favourites as they had scored 195 to win a few days earlier (particularly since David Warner was out injured). Matthew Wade hit 80 from 53 balls and Glenn Maxwell made a fluent 54 off 36, taking the score from 79/2 to 169/3 in what turned out to be the key partnership of the match. Captain Finch was out for a second-ball duck.
There's a lot of building work going on in the background - construction of the new Sydney Football Stadium is under way.
Pat Cummins bowling against England in the Sydney Ashes cricket test. Well, Australia's cricket team has become a global embarassment being caught on camera using woodworking tape to rough up the ball (to gain an unfair advantage), and as people say 'It's just not cricket'. Captain Smith and vice captain Warner are dropped for the next test against South Africa, now already up 2-1 in the series at home. Further suspensions are likely at a time when Cricket Australia is negotiating TV rights with the stations, who like sponsors may be tempted to keep their wallets in mothballs.
Of course, the Sydney test didn't show much sign of being affected by ball tampering, what with the Marsh brothers each scoring hundreds and England's Moeen Ali being unable to spin properly getting awful figures of 2 wickets for 170 (and Mason Crane on debut 1-193).
At the start of the third test, Australia has won the toss and elected to bat at the Sydney Cricket Ground. New Zealand's Matt Henry prepares to bowl to Australia's openers David Warner and Joe Burns. This was NZ's first test at the SCG in 34 years!
In home conditions (and following a successful defence of the Ashes), Australia have their mojo back with a 5-0 demolition of the opposition. The batting remains vulnerable but there's now three top performers and the bowling attack is fierce on home soil.
I'll skip to the bushfires. There's regular footage of black skies in the daytime and burning forests and the Navy has been called in to provide relief to coastal towns isolated by the fires. We're still coming to terms with the damage - which will exceed $2 billion and the fires are continuing, with little rain expected until April.
After twenty years of rising record temperatures (including 48.9 degrees Celsius in Penrith - a residential city on Sydney's outskirts just a couple of days ago), our federal government has lately copped a lot of criticism about the bushfires from conservative media; the Financial Times castigated Australia's 'lamentable response' to climate
www.ft.com/content/5082d45c-232e-11ea-b8a1-584213ee7b2b and Piers Morgan attacked an Australian member of Parliament on ITV's Good Morning Britain www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFvTrdOqdXo 'as your entire country is eviscerated by fires' and telling the MP to wake up.

The third Australia v India T-20 game in the 2016 series had a dramatic last-ball finish, with India's Suresh Raina hitting a four off the last ball to secure an Indian victory and wrap up the series 3-0. Australia scored 5-197, including 124 not out by Shane Watson off 74 balls. India had second bat and Rohit Sharma (52 off 38), Virat Kohli (50 off 36) and Raina (49 off 25) helped the score to 3-200, although the crowd favourite seemed to be 'Yuvi' Yuvraj Singh (15 off 12).
Still, after Australia won the one-day series 4-1 there were accusations the selectors weren't taking the Sydney Cricket Ground T-20 seriously, with Steve Smith and David Warner not playing and Test bowlers rested or injured. This enabled the Australian selectors to try out some of the Big Bash's top performers on a national stage. The crowd was 34,527, including lots of India supporters (check out the blue shirts in the concourse and Bill O'Reilly stand). Noisiest game ever, with announcers encouraging both Australia and India to 'Make some Noise!' and non-stop dancers (wearing yellow, under the scoreboard). Watson was man of the match and Kohli man of the series.
Watson picked a good time for the knock, getting 9.5 crore at the February IPL auctions!
The first over of the 3rd test at Headingly. Stuart Broad bowls to David Warner. who has struggled over the years against Broad's bowling. Seconds later Warner is off back to the pavillion and Broad has another Warner notch on his belt!! 06-07-23 - Taken on the rather impressive Sony RX100M6
After only 4 balls of Australia's 1st innings, opener David Warner is making the long walk back to the dressing room after a two-ball duck. Stuart Broad had once again got him early, this time from a thin edge to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow.
The England team huddle together for last minute instructions, buoyed by their success at Headingley, as Australian openers Harris and Warner stride to the crease at Old Trafford on the first morning of the 4th Ashes test. The huge, temporary 'Party Stand' at Emirates Old Trafford holding over 8,000 spectators was already pretty full. On a cold and very windy September morning in Manchester it required a hardy English resolve to enjoy watching the cricket from the top of that stand.
More than 23,000 spectators wait for the start of play at the Sydney Cricket Ground, day 3 of the Australia versus Pakistan cricket Test match, on Jane McGrath day. The ropes and 'Super Soppers' on the ground soak up the rain, and the covers are being removed.
Interestingly, the greatest concentration of pink is in the Pakistan supporters' area in the Bill O'Reilly stand (right). The pink test gets great support in Sydney. It promotes breast cancer awareness and proceeds go to the McGrath Foundation.
This test's big event was David Warner's 100 before lunch on the first day, a brilliant start and only the fifth time this has been accomplished in test history, following Australians Victor Trumper (1902), Charlie Macartney (1926), Don Bradman (1930) and Pakistan's Majid Khan (1976). Australia's 538 also included centuries from series debutants Matt Renshaw (184) and Peter Handscomb (110).
Warner followed up his outstanding first innings 113 off 95 balls with a second innings 55 off 27, the second-fastest test 50 and just two balls short of Misbah ul-Haq’s 21-ball 50 against Australia in Abu Dhabi, October 2014.

The man they call G.O.A.T. (Australian off-spinner 'greatest of all time'), Nathan Lyon, prepares to deliver another turner to West Indies batsman, Darren Bravo, who has been the West Indies' best batsman this series. The other batsman, Kregg Brathwaite, scored 85 on Day 1 of the Sydney cricket test between the two nations.
Lyon took his 100th wicket in Australia, and now has 184 career wickets at 33.84, more wickets than previous Australian off spinners. The test also marked the debut of off-spinner Steve O'Keefe. In Australia leg-spinners do better - Clarrie Grimmett, Richie Benaud, and Shane Warne to name a few (and Warne took 708 test wickets at an average of 25.41).
The West Indies, crippled by a dysfunctional board, low player payments and dis-motivation have struggled to perform competitively this series. While comparisons with yesteryear may be unfair, Bravo's 247 runs for the series so far at an average of 49.40 contrast with Brian Lara's innings of 277 at the SCG in 1993. It was Lara's first century in his fifth test and Lara later named his first daughter 'Sydney'.
The popularity of T-20 cricket has outshined Tests this year, with the Big Bash, which has more 'stars', drawing 80,000 to a Melbourne game recently. But the SCG had a healthy crowd of 32,000 on a wet day, about three-quarters full. Ticket pricing is an issue. A sheltered seat at a test costs $165, but the same seat is $60 at Big Bash. The West Indies didn't bridge the gap this year, and their best known players are in the Big Bash and not the test side. However, the West Indies is a collection of some 16 countries and lack a cohesive national identity, making it easier for players to opt out.
Separately India's IPL, now in its ninth year, has become that country's main cricket event. Bollywood stars, broadcast coverage and players' fees which can reward moderate talent more highly than those representing their country attract players and marketing spend. Its international impact may be reined in slightly if the Lodha report's recommendations are supported, preventing the intrusion of the IPL season into the traditional cricket calendar (and the leaching of players from domestic competitions). However, international competition will not be helped by the money deal the International Cricket Council looks likely to endorse providing 62% of broadcast revenues to Australia, England and India with other Test-playing nations receiving 5% each. Unless there is a more equitable division of funds there will soon be fewer marketable teams to play against.

Here's a view from the Sydney Cricket Ground's Bill O'Reilly stand concourse during the 2015 Australia vs. India World Cup semi final. Rahane and Dhoni are batting, Australia is in the field. You can see the slope from the wicket to the boundaries!
Australia play New Zealand today before more than 90,000 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and it's no accident as they were the two most aggressive sides this World Cup. Amazingly, as I think it's the first time Ricky Ponting has said something noteworthy, (being a brilliant batsman for so long perhaps he didn't have to), he has exactly hit the mark on NZ's strategy. Ponting notes two games within 50 overs; the first 35 overs and the last 15. According to Ponting, NZ tries to break the opposition's back before the 35th over. We've seen Trent Boult bowling most of his overs early to good effect - with 21 wickets, Boult is the tournament's leading wicket taker (never mind his 5-27 against Australia at Eden Park). The logic is that with wickets down teams can't score heavily in the last 15 overs.
In fact, in this World Cup no team has successfully chased more than 240! It's a no-brainer that which ever team wins the toss will bat first. Perhaps batting under lights is a bit tricky for the openers too, as the fielding rules put pressure on them to score fast in the first few overs.
I'm favouring Australia - the MCG is a big ground, the ball won't swing much, Australia's three pacemen bowl at 140 kph+, Smith's and Maxwell's batting has been superb, and home ground advantage too. New Zealand can win, particularly if Southee can get the ball to swing early, but if they do they will really have deserved it!
A great century by David Warner (130 off 119 balls) set the scene for Australia's 6-353 in the 4th match of the one-day international series vs. Pakistan. Pakistan contributed too, dropping catches including Warner on 86 and donating about 40 runs through mis-fields, although having coaxed Maxwell into a sense of security they did catch him for 78 off 44 balls on the last ball. Pakistan's Hasan Ali took the bowling honours with 5-52. Australia's massive total was always going to be hard to beat and Pakistan conceded for 267 all out, Sharjeel Khan top-scoring with 74 while Josh Hazlewood (3-54) and Adam Zampa (3-55) did well with the ball.
Here Warner on 97 scores a single on his way to a century. Steve Smith is the batsman at the other end, Imad Wasim the bowler. Australia are in yellow, Pakistan in green, and the umpires in red. Expect the new fiery zinger to be as tasteless as the old one. Pakistan lost the 5-match series 3-1 with this result.

.Of course back in 1970 it was The St Georges Hospital which finally closed down in 1980..Also seen in both photos Royal Artillery Memorial erected in 1925....The Crescent has also been widened...Maybe the 2 same telephone booths as well!!...
2014-15 has been a golden summer for Steven Smith. He scored 105 runs from 93 balls in this semi-final which eliminated India from the World Cup. The scoreboard tells the story; India bowled well to restrict Australia but did not take wickets, and the run rate was just under six an over when Smith was dismissed at 2-197. Smith captained the test side while Clarke was injured and now has a test average of 52 from 26 tests. This was his highest score in a one-day international. Maxwell then came in ahead of Clarke, but so (mysteriously) did Watson, and indecisive batting could have constrained Australia to 300 had Johnson not blasted 27 from nine balls. Yadav's 4-72 was impressive because he took wickets, while Ravi Ashwin's 1-42 was most economical.
India have spent four months in Australia, losing both the test series and the one-day games. Coming out firing, at 0-76 in the 13th over they threatened Australia's 328. Then Dhawan was dismissed for 45 from 41 balls, and Virat Kohli took 13 balls to score 1; he was caught by Haddin off Johnson, and Rohit Sharma soon followed. Then there was an odd incident when Mitchell Starc took a shy at the stumps which was padded off by Raina; a similar thing happened to Kohli during the test matches, and it borders on intimidation to throw at the stumps when the batsman is in the way with no chance of a run out. But Raina's temperament was disturbed and India slumped to 4-108 in over 23. India had their chances as while Australia fielded three fast bowlers in Johnson, Starc and Hazlewood, Australia had to bowl 20 overs from Maxwell, Faulkner, Watson and Clarke; Faulkner's first few overs went for runs but after the fourth wicket fell, India couldn't afford to take chances. Later Dhoni, despite 65 from 65 balls, failed to accelerate the run rate, and India gave up. His run out, slowing to a walk and not even grounding his bat at a point when the run rate needed was about 15 an over precipitated the end. Faulkner nearly closed with a hat-trick as 6-231 became 233 all out very quickly.

Australia are through to the final on Sunday against New Zealand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
In the photo, Australia's Steven Smith faces a ball from India's Ravi Ashwin at the Sydney Cricket Ground, in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final. Aaron Finch is at the non-striker's end. The wicketkeeper is India's captain MS Dhoni.
The Australian and Sri Lankan teams prepare for the national anthems at their Sydney Cricket Ground encounter during the ICC Cricket World Cup. The SCG's members' stand's 'no banners' policy is being violated by a Sri Lankan flag. After the anthems it was swiftly removed!
Australia scored a formidable 376 from 50 overs. The highlight was Glenn Maxwell's first one-day international century - he hit 102 from 53 balls, one ball short of the World Cup's fastest in its 40-year history. Ultimately this was too much for the Sri Lankans, who racked up a competitive 312 in reply including 104 from Sangakkara.
Cricket is Australia's summer sport. This is the second day of the test match between Australia and Sri Lanka and a beautiful day at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia's David Warner and Phillip Hughes are batting. Thundering in is Nuwan Pradeep.
Behind them are the Members' stand (centre) and Ladies stand (left) and the city of Sydney.
To the right the former M. A. Noble stand is being rebuilt, and is expected to be completed before next season's Ashes series. Apparently the new stand will include a microbrewery!
The people wearing pink has to do with the Jane McGrath Foundation raising funds for breast cancer. Foundation co-founder Jane McGrath died from the disease in 2008 and was the first wife of the Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath who took 563 test wickets. The third day of the test is Jane McGrath day and people wear pink to show support.
Sri Lanka scored 294 all out on the first day. On day 2 Australia soon lost Cowan for 4 in the fifth over, after which Warner (85 off 84 balls) and Hughes (87 off 143) put on a stand worth 130. Michael Clarke scored 50 and ran out Michael Hussey (25) in his last test match, with the help of some good fielding. Australia finished the day on 342/6. Herath was the best of the Sri Lankan bowlers. The pitch was green on the first day, and looked good to bat upon on day 2.

Vale Phillip Hughes, 27 November 2014.
Well David Warner bagging 'a pair' really cheered up the crowd at Emirates Old Trafford, me included! England may have gone on to lose the test and The Ashes, but we had some real joy watching Warner fail abysmally with the bat during the series. After the 5th test he averaged only a pathetic 9.5 from his 10 innings in the series. It simply could not have happened to a nicer guy.
