Patron Saint: How Warne's drive rubbed off on Murphy

1 month ago Cricket Australia

If anyone is qualified to make a tentative comparison between the late Shane Warne and Australia's latest spin debutant, Todd Murphy, it would be Jamie Murphy. "There's a lot of traits of Warnie in Todd," the 56-year-old Murphy told cricket.com.au on Thursday morning. "The (step-up beyond Premier cricket) I wasn't able to do, wasn't good enough to do. Murphy and Warne sat next to each other in St Kilda’s official '91-92 premiership photograph, which is proudly hung up in the Junction Oval clubrooms. "People got an impression of Warnie, but people don't realise how hard he worked to get where we got," said Jamie.

'Different World Cup': The crucial factor in MCG clash

Amid state-wide flooding as Victoria endures its wettest October on record, England's T20 World Cup campaign took a hit on account of the weather and a tactical blunder against Ireland that has further increased the stakes for Friday night's encounter at the MCG. "I think it's going to be a very different World Cup," Mott said. "Playing a T20 World Cup at this time of year, the weather is inevitable. QUICK SINGLE What Irish upset means for Aussies' Cup chancesOne slip-up in the group-stage of a World Cup in its current form can be, but is usually not, a death sentence. Not since the 2010 World T20 final in Barbados has as much been on the line for a match in this format between Australia and England.

Hard yards pay off for rising Stars allrounder Flintoff

While most of her state teammates were still enjoying a well-earned break following the end of the 2021-22 summer, Tess Flintoff was already back at the CitiPower Centre, grafting away. "That helps all facets of my game, but especially bowling, just to make sure that I've got an action that's repeatable. "Tessy Flintoff … she’s had a great crack, she walked into day one of off-season – not even preseason, off-season – and Wolf (Wareham) and I were there rehabbing," Molineux told The Scoop podcast last month. The Stars and Renegades will play their first game in Victoria in more than 1000 days on Saturday when they meet at Ballarat’s Eastern Oval. "I'd be lying if I said we weren't disappointed with how we’ve started in terms of where we are on the ladder," Flintoff said.

No rest at the wicket, as Smith again gets captaincy call-up

"I have to do it my own way, I can't try to be someone else," Smith said today. "It's Pat's team, so as soon as he came back out it's like 'it's all yours, go for it'," Smith said. Should the problem flare again, during the upcoming Test, Smith isn't sure who would take over the captaincy in his absence from the field as no formal replacement for him as vice-captain has been made. "It was nice to know from him if he was going to be out, I would be in. "When you're in such a good environment like this, and you get to bowl with guys in the nets like Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, you will always improve.

LIVE: Proteas dig in after Marnus screamer

'Like a leaping salmon': Marnus pulls off a Boxing Day stunnerSession times AEDT: 10.30am-12.30pm | 1.10pm-3.10pm | 3.30pm-5.30pmAustralia again have South Africa's brittle batting line-up under immense pressure, with the Proteas crumbling to 4-58 at lunch on day one of the NRMA Insurance Boxing Day Test. Lethal Labuschagne on target to spoil Elgar's Boxing DayAfter crawling to 1-56, the Proteas lost 3-2 to vindicate Australia captain Pat Cummins' decision to bowl first for the second consecutive match after winning the toss. Prolific quick Scott Boland (1-15) struck early to claim the opening wicket of the second Test, removing South Africa opener Sarel Erwee (18) as Usman Khawaja hung on to a catch at second slip. But Elgar failed to capitalise on his good fortun e and was run-out for 26 by some brilliance in the field from Marnus Labsuchagne. The Boxing Day Test, always a memorable occasion, is extra special this year as Cricket Australia pay tribute to legendary spin king Shane Warne.

Harris frees his mind to strike rich vein form

Harris goes large in Launceston with unbeaten 142For the first time in about five summers the mind of Marcus Harris is clear. "I haven't had to worry about all the other stuff," said Harris, who today also confirmed a return to the Melbourne Renegades for KFC BBL|12. 'A little bit reluctant': Ponting dissects Harris' defenceBut as long as he keeps scoring runs, the question of higher honours will remain. But despite his struggles to emulate his domestic form at international level, Harris has learnt throughout that experience not to "chase his outs". Harris was certainly in the right frame of mind yesterday, smashing an unbeaten 142 – a career-best List A score – to lead Victoria to victory over Tasmania in the Marsh Cup.
