Pretty weak commentary to call the Bahrain goal an own goal. When we score like that the kicker is credited with the goal. Such pitiful writing matches the team performance. I watched the back three kick it backwards and forwards to each other for awhile with no-one else running to create space ahead. They all seemed to be waiting for something to happen. Great win for Bahrain.

What nonsense is this headline. The fans pulled Hinkley into line and he started coaching way better as evidenced by the results. I would certainly dump him. Having ten years with the best players and zero flags. Mark Williams would have won at least two more with the great teams they’ve had. He is way, way overdue. Who else would take him? No-one except Gold Coast who are always hopeless by seasons end.

Port fans have egg on their faces - and owe Ken Hinkley an apology

So you fininished last in class at history JeffRo if indeed you got that far. Talk about telling the world. Ignorance personified.

Sounds good to me.

A totally dominant performance from Draper. On that form he has to be a chance to win the event.

Its a good look. You’ve earned the right to play whoever you want.
The AFL pay so much attention to these so called clowns presenting as journalists.

The bye is the dumbest thing in the competition.

Too fair: Is it time to end the AFL pre-finals bye?

Pogba was a great player. Played in Frances World Cup winning team. 179 games for Juventus. What nonsense you write TT. Keep sweeping those gutters clean old boy.

'Worst signing': United legend Paul Scholes lashes Bosnich

The best mark I saw was Nicki Winmar for South Fremantle WA (first game) where he got his feet on the shoulders of his opponent and went up another level. Warren Ralph did similar but he had great delivery from the Kraker brothers at Claremont, WA. There are many more but just seeing them as they happen is great. The slow motion replays of course add to the spectacle.

Pretty average lineup you’ve chosen. Obviously Warner goes out and wins test matches which makes him better than the safer Mark Taylor. Your line up of World Stars is seriously flawed. Ronaldo is most obviously a better all round footballer than L Messi. His awards tell you that if you can’t watch a game with both eyes open. Bradman was good in his era but you can’t bat like that once the game became professional. So you should have Margaret Court in there who played a more popular world game and has the equal most Grand Slam wins with Djikovic given your criteria. Heather Mackay in squash was more dominant than all your rather average picks.
Of your team I would say Gilchrist, Bradman and Cummins are world class. I don’t know Morris and saw Lindwall bowl.

The Hundred may take over from T20 at some stage. The games fit into a 3hour timeslot where T20 started but with the excessive advertising gimmicks is now closer to 4 hours.
The crowds are there for either. Its about entertainment not attrition as in tests.

Being the best player in the NRL I would certainly have him 100% of the time.

I thought last season the Broncos defended like their lives depended on it. This season they leak like a sieve. While the ability is there, the desire to win is reflected in the results.

Walters' middling coaching record with a star-studded roster doesn't pass muster at Broncos

Well they’ve done it and congratulations to the Bangels. They scored the required runs easily after being behind on the first innings. They need to keep this level of performance as the norm now as they have shown (with special thanks to Das & Miraz) that they are capable.
Poor of Pakistan to have 4 half century makers in their first dig and no-one going on. The fact that they got to 50 and got out seems to indicate they’de done enough (subcontiously).

Wiping away the ghosts of Multan: Why Bangladesh's victory over Pakistan was more than just a Test cricket win

I don’t. The comments are out of your rear end. The Poms will wimp out again because thats what they do best. Atkinson will do ok because he is the real deal and Harry Brooks should star as to me he looks to have class batting ability. But Stokes normally gets injured and Root finds new ways to get out when visiting here.
Hopefully they win a test and go home with their , if only, and “that umpiring decision” etc. I note that Atkinson got 12 wickets in his first test, which was James Andersons last. Anderson never got 12 wickets in a test across his career. They won’t miss him.

Strange that possibly the best female cricketer, in Harry Kaur, wasn’t picked up. Its like leaving out Healy, Perry, Mooney or similar.
Also Duckett is ok but never will be great. I’m guessing these selections reflect BBL as at the second level now well behind the likes of IPL and equivalent to the multitude of other T20 comps. Tim Paine seems a poor coach choice. I hope he proves me wrong.

You’re hopelessly out of your class Jimmy. Watch a few games, learn rugby union; and then you may be able to make an informed comment. Foster was a nowhere coach before being appointed and will be forever that. Joe Schmidt saved his skin when appointed. Foster was the mates choice.

ANALYSIS: All Blacks' bench lost the breakdown and had no backline threat - but their real issue is in the halves

I’de imagine the board is a 4 x 2 inch thick board which would be brighter than your average Saffer. Its time de Jagers mum changed his nappies. He stinks.

I saw an NRL team push in a scrum a few weeks back. Everyone cracked up. A new tactic.

To me Shaun Johnson is the best player I have seen on a rugby league field. Unfortunately he had the full repotoire of being fantastic one minute, totally hopeless the next. But still a game I saw him play once I think vs Oz in a World Cup final or semi final in England was the best of any player ever. He seemed untouchable.

Great win which I didn’t see. So the ref and players dont get pilloried for their mistakes.
Yeh. A break from ref bashing until next week.
Its great to get the win but the main thing is we can be competitive with the best teams apart from SA currently. But we have a long way to go obviously. If we can beat Argentina again that would be epic. They were expected to win so will be fully charged up for revenge. If we win the Argies will be bagging their players and coach as we see so often here when the Wallabies lose. But in terms of confidence it would be huge with the ABs coming up.

What garbage Doc. Tell me that if Carlton aren’t the first eliminated. They’re a finals fraud.

Seriously 13th man you are a hopelessly incompetent viewer and your views are taken with a grain of salt as a fools are. You represent the word “hopeless”.
Freo did stuff up but I much prefer Longmuir to the failed Ross Lyon. So much more fun to watch.

Its much better to rate batsman you like watching bat. Damian Martyn was great from an Australian viewpoint as it was all effortless using his wrists as the great Indian bats do so well.
Its better not to compare eras as the game went from amateur to professional.
The Pom, David Gower, always seem to have forever to decide which shot to play effortlessly as does the current Harry Brooks for England. Warner started off similarly.
Laxman was exquisite for India and there are many more including Mark Waugh whose stats don’t rate a mention. Players like Ponting, Kohli, Richards (x2), Tendulkar were just totally dominant in their prime.

Was Bradman really indisputably the best batsman - even from his own era?
