Christchurch, New Zealand - Veterans Cricket Australia O55's is set to make its debut as a National Age Category in Christchurch this November. Fourteen teams from Australia and two sides from New Zealand will compete across two divisions in what is expected to be an exciting and closely contested tournament.

The tournament will be hosted by the St Albans Cricket Club and will take place from November 22-28, with a scheduled rest day on November 25th to allow players and their partners to take in the many tourist attractions on offer in and around Christchurch. Many players are expected to bring their partners and stay an extra week to enjoy the local sights and sounds.

The tournament will be played on several grounds, including Rangiora, Willows, Burnside, and some of the private schools in and around Christchurch, before culminating in the final at the Famous Hagley Park Oval.

"We are delighted to bring the Veterans Cricket Australia O55's tournament to Christchurch for the first time," said Andrew Knight Chairman, O50’s Veterans Cricket Association. "We are confident that this event will be a great success and showcase the best Australian veteran’s cricket."

BBL. I’m really confused how Cameron White missed out on the Melbourne Stars coaching job and it was given to Peter Moore who twice coached England. Am I the only one?

So I tried AI to tell me what are the parallels between life and cricket. Here's what it came up with: Cricket is a game of skill, strategy and patience. It is also a game of uncertainty, unpredictability and frustration. Life is like cricket in many ways. You never know what kind of pitch you will get, what kind of ball you will face, or what kind of umpire you will encounter. You have to adapt to the changing conditions, play according to your strengths and weaknesses, and hope for the best. Sometimes you hit a six, sometimes you get out for a duck. Sometimes you win the toss, sometimes you lose it. Sometimes you catch a brilliant catch, sometimes you drop a sitter. Sometimes you get a fair decision, sometimes you get a howler. The only thing that matters is how you handle the ups and downs, how you celebrate the victories and learn from the defeats, how you respect your opponents and enjoy the game. Cricket teaches us many lessons about life: teamwork, discipline, perseverance, sportsmanship and humility. Cricket is not just a sport; it is a way of life.

On behalf of Driver Avenue Group we’d like to congratulate Nathan Lyon on a great job in Australia’s 3rd Test win over India, a great Test win.

In taking 8 for 64 in India’s 2nd innings of the 3rd Test in India Nathan achieved:

• Player of the Match
• 479 Test Wickets (238 home; 241 away)
• the 2nd best figures ever for Australia in Tests against India behind his own 8 for 50 in Bengaluru during the 2017 tour.
• Become the only Australian spinner to take 8 wickets in a test innings twice.
• Become the leading wicket taker of all time in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
• The most Test wickets in Asia by a player from outside the continent.
• Taken more five-wicket hauls against India than any other bowler.

That’s a big day out!

Well done, Nathan 👏👏👏

With the advent of T20 leagues around the world and players getting plenty of money for the 6 of a competition what do people think will be the long term effects of players Test careers.

Will players look to retire from Test cricket earlier, say in their late 20s to chase the money on offer from T20 cricket and how will that impact the strength of Test cricket?
