Fresh off taking 2/35 on List A debut for @VicStateCricket last weekend, Hennig is now right in the frame to make his first-class debut at the Gabba this Saturday against Queensland. Was clocked at 147km/h (!!) down in Hobart against Tasmania... proper heat 🔥 @FoxCricket
Expecting tearaway quick Matt Hennig to make his domestic debut for @VicStateCricket in this Saturday's one-dayer against Tasmania. Took 41 wickets for St Kilda last season and bowls north of 140km/h. At 28 years of age, an incredibly well-earned selection 🚀 @FoxCricket

An insight into the life as one of Australia’s Test substitute fielders. From facing Cummins and Lyon in the nets to the relationships behind the scenes. A reflection on a rare experience I’ll always value. Link and access below 🔗 drew333.substack.com/p/beyon…

The heart and soul of St Kilda Cricket Club, Tim Loughry has seen it all. 'Clock' talks about the friends he's found and the things he's seen along the way... And how he's still waiting for a response from @powderfinger_au 😂 @clock1961 | @StKildaCricket

You wonder why professional sportsman, especially cricketers suffer from mental health & have to take time away from the game. The constant negativity published by Australian sport’s media is a major concern & it evidently takes its toll. We are all human..

As with all shots, you want the head - the heaviest part of the body - to lead the shot. Kyrgios plants the front foot a fraction, leaving him vulnerable to a moving ball. LBW candidate.

❤️ @GaryWoodland is leading by two at the U.S. Open. The solo leader shines on and off the course. #LiveUnderPar

Huge credit to Will Pucovski, who was incredibly candid in discussing his mental health battle in the hope it would assist others. A star. foxsports.com.au/cricket/aus…

Not one LBW for the quick bowlers in the series and not 1 hundred by any batsman. Where are all the young batsman ? Shield cricket has turned into a game where players are pulled out whenever they feel like it. Grade cricket is going backwards ! Who’s making these decisions ?

Can not stand the ‘bat being in the air over the line’ rule. Can’t see how it is fair for the batsmen diving at full length & being over the line to think about having their bat flat grounded. Use some common sense & change it.
