Australia has lifted yet another major cricket trophy, securing the Under 19s World Cup. BEN HORNE tracks the progress and prospects of the teenagers who knocked over India.
Ahead of the under 19s World Cup final against India, one of Australia’s opening batsmen has been praised for his old fashioned mentality with comparisons being drawn to a former Aussie captain.
Australia boasts the most feared bowling attack on the planet – but with a trio of paceman all in their 30s, it’s time to start thinking about Generation Next, writes Ben Horne.
A letter from Bears halfback Mark Soden in 1993 was enough to cement BEN HORNE’S love for the club forever. But the diehard supporter warns the club they risk blowing their NRL return with dangerous rhetoric.
Four balls into his debut, he was looking like the next David Warner. By the fifth ball, he was walking off the park. But those five balls left no-one watching with any doubt, BEN HORNE writes: Jake Fraser-McGurk is a special talent.
Of all the threats that fly around in Australian sport, the off-chance Sydney could lose its iconic New Year’s Test remains one of the silliest and emptiest, writes BEN HORNE.
Australia has a swath of Test ready bowlers itching for a chance – a chance they may never get as ageing quartet Starc, Hazlewood, Lyon and Cummins have no plans to hand it over.
It was shaping as one of the most open Allan Border Medal races in recent memory – but one clear favourite has emerged from a massive year for Australian cricket.
Cricket ACT is pushing hard for their own BBL team, but if it means expansion, Ricky Ponting isn’t keen. He tells BEN HORNE the talent pool is already stretched as it is.
Australian cricket legend Allan Border has opened up on living with Parkinson’s disease and how his life has changed since the diagnosis.
