Prime time Piastri: How Aussie put himself in the F1 world championship driving seat
Piastri is very smart when it comes to wheel-to-wheel combat. Verstappen is the best defender on the grid but I believe Oscar and his strategy gives me the edge over both Norris and Verstappen.

If Piastri takes 15 wins this year that would be a Lewis Hamilton style feat in only his third year in Formula 1 but I love the optimism!
Piastri perfection: How Aussie bounced back from Albert Park disaster
100% agree Kitwally, if Piastri takes pole and has that clear air he very rarely loses the lead. His Formula 2 season is a prime example of this. Norris I still believe is the quicker qualifier but Piastri has taken that step this year (he was often three tenths down last season) so if he keeps pace with Norris he can definitely challenge him for the WDC.

Disqualifications definitely benefit McLaren by getting off to early constructors lead!
I suspect China won’t be Piastri’s only win this season. He has performed in Japan in 2023 getting third so hoping he can go back-to-back and put Norris under pressure
Piastri perfection: How Aussie bounced back from Albert Park disaster
High chance he doesn’t make the team a bit like Nathan Jones. But his input is going to be off field with his leadership. He’s vital to the club but yes I doubt if the flag goes to Freo he will get a medal for it- a real shame
Why Dockers can live up to 'Flagmantle' moniker in 2025... for real this time
Can’t see Simmo going to Freo with his Eagles history but I am shocked he hasn’t got a job elsewhere I think a lot of clubs would value his input

Sorry 13th man ???? really hope you guys get on top and win a final this year

This new generation of Dockers will hopefully be able to overcome that but I agree if more late-season collapses occur the winning mindset will never develop at Fremantle. Similar to Essendon not being able to win a final.

I think it’s difficult to say, definitely Roc has potential but he’s gotta do the work in state cricket to prove beyond doubt he’s a better talent then Murphy which I’m unsure if he’s going to be able to do. Needs to recreate his form from last Sheffield shield season
Wrong form at the wrong time: Why Rocchiccioli wasn’t the next man in for Sri Lanka tour
Sorry if that’s incorrect. ESPN Cricinfo is absolutely right and I missed that on there. That’s on me but yes you’re absolutely right. Still a solid average and the point his average this season has been a bit of a downturn though
Wrong form at the wrong time: Why Rocchiccioli wasn’t the next man in for Sri Lanka tour
Personally Lewis has had a tough season and the current ground effect cars really don’t suit his driving style (similar to Ricciardo’s struggles but on a less extreme level)
Lewis I don’t think will beat Leclerc but I do think it’ll be close and if Lewis takes enough points off Leclerc then that stops potentially either driver winning a title for themselves.
Is Ferrari sacrificing a world championship for Lewis Hamilton's potential fairytale?
I think maybe the solution for the Spurs is a combination of your suggestions. Just sitting above 500 isn’t going to win you any rings. The Spurs have so much time on their hands so there’s no need to win now. But fans will soon want to see pieces being put in place and improvement in the squad around Wemby. Let it play out but be very specific with who you draft as a compliment to Wemby.
The Wemby issue: The problem Spurs have with their budding superstar - and the three options on the horizon
I feel like South Africa in particular is an untapped fan base. In terms of re-working the WTC I agree that it’s natural for the big three to play more test matches. UAE can’t host India Pakistan but I’d love to see England or Australia host maybe a three test series.
The winning formula: How Test cricket can return to relevancy in T20 era
The future in Australia is good I agree, same for England. But out of those nations I feel it is not quite as strong. Globally cricket can be doing much better to compete with soccer etc but agreed here in Australia the game is very safe.

I like that, makes it both harder to make the WTC but also ensures it’s a faker competition good idea Linphoma!

I think Konstas is so fearless and so young that he may not understand that yet. But seeing what he did in the Prime Minister’s 11 game and for Australia A he can spend longer times at the pitch. Many said the same when David Warner came onto the scene and he managed to figure out how to play test matches.
Konstas proved in one innings he's exactly what Australian cricket needs
They will 100% bowl shorter and target the stumps more to Konstas BG, but Konstas is good enough to adapt and he can play aggressively without having to ramp the ball or charge down the wicket. He’s a raw talent with not much finish so it will be all about getting him experience at the top level he is just so young and so talented if he is willing to adapt I think he has a long stint ahead of him. It is hard to say after just one match though.

Lance Morris fits the bill there but I suspect Jhye Richardson is next in line, I would say if a rotation policy were to come in and give one fresh player like those I’ve mentioned it would smooth out the transition.

Uzzie can be a great ambassador for cricket agreed, in regards to both of you I think he was okay in the first innings in Melbourne but like you said we have to be very careful that we don’t make a David Warner mistake and play him too long. Henry Hunt from Adelaide would be a great option but I suspect if he wanted to Uzzie will play Sri Lanka.
2025's biggest questions: EPL dynasty on the verge of collapse, Swans' new era
I think they appointed Cox because he was deemed the successor and was under Longmire’s watch for many years. The plan was in place in similar fashion to Simon Goodwin at Melbourne. I think there is a degree of being a known quantity and not wanting to take a risk but if they believe he is the right man and better than the risk of going external then time will tell if the Swans board will be vindicated.

Like the article Michael but quite surprised with Monza being the number 1 highlight:
-verstappen in Brazil was an all time classic drive
– maiden wins for Norris and Piastri
Also the fact this weekend sees Doohan’s debut and a constructors fight for the title between giants of the sport means so much is still to play for!
Promising debuts, Silverstone superhero: 2024 Formula One season in review
“You bet I’m holding out hope they come good because they’re by a huge distance our best hope of winning this series.”
I think Gordon it’s a balance. No one is saying the whole side should be changed but that top four has been very shaky. Some change is going to be needed if we lose badly in Adelaide. 2 changes I think is that balance. Don’t get me wrong I want to be proven wrong by guys like Marnus. But that’s a big task under pressure. That’s why this test is so pivotal.
The selectors may not like it, but this is the top order Australia should roll with into the future
Definitely a statement innings. Jhye Richardson is so underrated at test level would also love to see him get another go soon.

Fully agree, Lando still has a lot of pace but has been exposed when it comes to beating him. Doesn’t help himself when he makes his own mistakes but I believe Oscar’s calm shoulders will serve him very well for the championship fight.
