I guess in the end the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. We are probably guilty of thinking that it’s only members on this forum and on Facebook that collect footy cards in Australia - the collecting community is of course widespread. I have no vested interest in promoting Select or...

@Festa1234 this might be of interest to you mate, lots of Melbourne content.

How great is it to see women’s cricket as the main back page lead. Well done, Adelaide Advertiser! This cricket team continues to show its male counterparts that it is possible to play the game competitively, respectfully AND still win.

Ellyse Perry has hit her maiden ODI century, finishing with 107* off 110 balls in Australia’s innings of 7/247. The century came off the second-last ball of the innings courtesy of a dropped catch that trickled over the boundary. As an exclamation point, she hit final ball onto the embankment...

@Scotty_WCE down boy 😂😂

I read elsewhere mate that there are four more previews to come prior to release day (Monday 4th March). It will be interesting to see what else there is to reveal. I’m not a fan of the Brownlow predictors in their most recent format (i.e. “x” number of players per club, instead of just a...

I thought that the season just seemed a bit too long for the Hurricanes - their home stretch included heavy defeats to the Strikers and Sixers, a narrow defeat to the Thunder and they only JUST snuck over the line against the Scorchers. It’s a catch-22 situation for them with the batting too...

Bloody hell.... it never used to be this complicated when I first started collecting footy cards in the late 1980's. Back when it was just a fun hobby. Greed, duplicity, self-interest and "mates rates" seems to be a prevalent theme in the modern age of producing, distributing and collecting...

The Australian Cricket Awards (formerly known as the Allan Border Medal) are on tonight in 7Mate and Fox Cricket. It’s an early start, folks: 7pm EDST. Looking forward to it, I must say!

I like the look of the AFLW cards on today’s Select preview. A nice, basic design allowing the player themselves to be the main feature.

Extraordinary scenes in the Caribbean as the West Indies storm to an unlikely series win over England! I am delighted for Jason Holder, who has NEVER batted higher than No. 7 in Test cricket yet still averages 33.64 (with three centuries). His 93 wickets have cost 27.69 apiece. He is a...

I like the club colours being used for the background on the startburst cards, although @ElijahCraigHyde I also see the attraction of the different colours (orange, yellow, black, red etc). Then again, I am an unabashed fan of the Harv caricatures even on white backgrounds in the Harv Time/Ja...

@Sports Nut this season feels like it began in the Ice Age mate - basically a week before Christmas. The duration of this season’s tournament is two months, which I think is a bit of a stretch concentration-wise. Admittedly I do watch most of the games on TV, but more as background noise than...

The extraordinary recent BBL form line of Marcus Stoinis now reads: 2/26 (3) and 78*(49) vs Renegades 2/29 (4) and 34 (22) vs Thunder 3/19 (4) and 70*(65) vs Renegades 3/20 (4) and 53 (45) vs Strikers 4/21 (4) and 43 (29) vs Heat 14 wickets @ 8.21 average and an economy rate of 6.05 runs per...

What a tremendous season of the WBBL it has been, punctuated by brilliant individual performances. The finals had more twists and turns than an Agatha Christie novel and the ending to both semi finals will be remembered for many years to come. The wholehearted efforts of overseas players...

Silver predictor sold. Russell Greene case card still available so making a final bump. 🙂

Geez @Pokey what a horrible bloody mess, mate 😳😞 I was just reflecting on the fact that when I joined OzCardTrader it was on the eve of what I still think is by far the best cricket release of the last decade: 2009-10 Select Cricket. I am saddened by the stories and examples shown to me about...

Mate, there may never be another Select Footy Cards app so unless you are desperate for the money or something I would hold on to them. I reckon they’d look great framed. I had a set of them and sold most of them, which I regret now 🤪. Fantastic collectible in my opinion 🙂

Strong talk today that Australia’s Test team will boast THREE debutants, with Kurtis Patterson added to the squad. There is a chance he may join Wil Pucovski and Jhye Richardson in the starting XI on Thursday. @The Mad Hatter: imagine FORM being a selection criteria!! 😉

Speaking of bewildering potential non-selections, see if you can put a name to this batsman: *Last played a T20I for Australia in September 2016 *Has scored 242 runs from 154 balls at an average of 60.5 and strike rate of 157.14 in the current BBL season. *Is 36 years old *Shares the same name...

What an extraordinary day in the brief history of the WBBL, with both semi-finals influenced by last-ball boundary saving heroics. From Haidee Birkett's wonderfully judged catch (at full tilt!) to Erin Burn's desperate dive, Sarah Aley's throw and Alyssa Healy's direct hit at the non-strikers'...

I might go and change my ring tone... 😂😂 View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu3BlF9b4EI

What was your highlight for 2018? My highlight was the partnership between Paul Harvey (Harv Time) and Ja Ja's Collectables - I thought that the signed caricature cards were fantastic, with a brilliant selection of players so far. What was your biggest disappointment for 2018? Select Legacy...

When I go to my deathbed (hopefully later rather than sooner!) I believe that even THEN we still won't know exactly what did happen in Cape Town last year. It will be another "Essendon" situation I think, with many nudges and winks but very little facts revealed. It has unfortunately led to...
