Hi,

We can use this blog to exchange research and events.

Of course cricketing information such as the following is also completely acceptable :)

"Buchanan, who will step down after the World Cup, said the development of Australia's bowlers was being held back by the poor performances of the opposition batsmen, who have flopped repeatedly in the series so far. He suggested the Australians had not had a chance to showcase their skills ahead of the Caribbean tournament in March and April.

"Our ability to deliver yorkers, length balls, bouncers, variety balls [such as slower balls, cutters etc] has not been placed under constant scrutiny by an opposition batting line-up," he wrote.

"This testing of our bowlers' response to situations when we have lost control [temporarily hopefully] is not happening. In essence, the batting efforts of our opposition are not assisting the development of our bowlers' one-day skills and the decision making that accompanies being placed under the microscope of competition."
