The ICC’s changes to the fixture format for the 2027 ODI World Cup and 2028 T20 World Cup make sense from a competitiveness standpoint.

But if the final goal is to grow the game, there needs to be a stronger pathway for emerging nations.

Teams like the Netherlands, Scotland, Nepal, USA and Ireland need more meaningful matches ( FOR EXAMPLE: getting added as the third team into every bilateral series ), not just qualification tournaments.

Let’s not forget, that collective growth will make this sport a spectacle at the olympics.

A milestone achieved on Australia's main electricity grid, the NEM.
Energy discharged from utility batteries over the last 12 months now exceeds generation from peaking (OCGT) gas turbines.
Those who thought batteries would only provide ancillary services now looking foolish.

Today was the end of the @StarsBBL and the @RenegadesBBL as we know them.

Staff were informed the Stars & the Renegades are merging into one brand new Victorian franchise to play at the MCG & likely wear navy blue.

The club will be called the Melbourne (insert nickname), but it won't be the Stars.

Cricket Victoria has committed to selling its second license entirely.

Tacit admission that fraud is not driving the enormous growth in NDIS spending. The volume of people accessing the scheme has always been the core problem and politicians just never wanted to admit it.

Timely reminder that the study that killed the Adelaide Hills rail bypass actually showed it was one of the highest benefit:cost ratio projects in Australia

The minister for higher housing prices gets her policy chief poached away to the country’s largest home loan lender.

Sicko stuff.

This tour just cant be real. Just an extended humiliation ritual.

Breaking: Josh Hazlewood out for entire Ashes series. Achilles setback rules him out of 3rd, 4th and 5th Tests.

Michael Neser now has the same number of 5 wicket hauls in Ashes tests in Australia as James Anderson

No, you idiots, it's that children are an economic benefit to you when you're a pre-industrial farmer and they're an economic liability to you when you live in a city and send emails for a living.

Beyond parody. This video consists of 23 separate shots, 11 of which feature the ICC chairman.

Nevertheless, there will still be a cohort of client journalists along to furiously defend it, and insist there's nothing unusual about it.

A bus has fallen off the O-Bahn tracks this morning, closing the outbound track between Klemzig and Paradise interchanges.

It's caused a headache for commuters, who have had to catch replacement buses while a crane drags the bus back onto the track.

The driver - who was the only occupant of the bus at the time - was not injured.

Can we just come back to the nonsensical tactic of depicting your opponent as a friendly-looking muppet, while your guy looks like he eats babies?
