    A couple of hours ago some clod called 'Gilly's Danda' ignorantly triped
    out, "The last post that I can find about Cricket opinion on this group was made on 24 February 2022 - fittingly, about the New South Wales / South Australia / Victoria (Warne's beloved state) conspiracy to deprive
    Queensland of its due."

    Arrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    For the last time, The Conspiracy Club was *never* about promoting Qld, it
    was about the NSV (Now just NSW) running and ruining *Australian* cricket.
    Yes, Qld would have benefited from having all the faceless NSW power
    brokers executed for treason, but so would all the other States.

    Pity about the demise of rsc, I would have enjoyed taking on the NSW
    deniers and their pitiful efforts to argue against the charge that it was a
    NSW coup which brazenly dispatched Langer.

    You're clearly not watching enough European club championship cricket.

    You need to come to the UK; women's cricket is getting more coverage on the BBC website than the men's game.

    I am in UK, just by about 25 miles. I've noticed the BBC website, most
    of the cricket clips are from the womens world cup.

    The BBC having neither the TV nor the radio rights to the series in the
    WI probably has something to do with the amount of coverage on the
    website. (And they may well have the radio rights to the Women's World
    Cup, though I haven't checked.)

    So sad to see the demise of rec.sport.cricket! I came on this morning to celebrate a historical moment--Angelo Mathews duck in the SL-Bangladesh Test--and find that the greatest forum for discussing World cricket is sabotaged and basically gone.
    But I will nevertheless reply to this post where I still find the immortal alvey and John Hall!
    After his wonderful 1st innings score of 199, Mathews' 2nd innings duck gives him three in 171 innings. And that returns the record for lowest percentage of ducks (in 50 or more innings) to the late, great and much beloved Clyde Walcott, with one duck in 74 innings.
    I've been waiting for this day for several years, ever since Mathews (a wonderful batsman whom I hugely respect!) last surpassed Sir Clyde. May both of their records live forever!

    Hi Steve. It's good to hear from you after all this time.

    There may not be much life here, but there's still plenty on
    uk.sport.cricket ()even if a large proportion is posts by Robert
    Henderson and rebuttals thereof).

    Angelo Mathews seems to go on forever.

    Holmans (bury me in a coffin draped in an England flag) did that to this group years ago long before smackheads got involved, surely?

    trivia stat alert: has anyone else combined a duck with a higher score than 199 in the same test?
