    *Official* Australia in New Zealand

    That is an ignorant statement that needs to be set straight for the rest of the non-playing posters who have no idea what actually happens in a game of cricket. Firstly let me say I think NZ deserved the win just for McCullum`s sake. To play an innings like that and lose just wouldnt be fair. I...

    It is only a good delivery when bowled on the right line. We saw a lot of bowlers in our domestic T20 get punished for bowling short because their line was up to ****e. It has to be at the body, give the batsman no room to swing. Johnson is usually our most expensive bowler because he bowls a...

    Does anyone know who has the coverage in Australia, ch9 or Fox? I have had a look through the guides but cant seem to find anything about the games from NZ.

    Why the hell would you want to move Ponting out of no3? In his last test match he scored 200+ and 80+. I think Hughes is much better suited to bat at 5 than he is opening. He has the worst technique of any opener in the country. He is a Gilchrist type of player, see the ball hit the ball. He is...

    How stupid did the 9 commentators sound after trying to talk up the WI total as being competitive and the run chase as being a "tricky" one. How good is Warner when he`s running hot. He made Wato look like a slug when actually he had a strike rate of about 180. At one stage there Warner was...

    I watched him bowl a few in the nets a couple of years back and trust me he wasn`t that shabby. He was nowhere near the worst I`ve seen. I think his biggest problem is himself, he doesnt think he is any good and we all know that is half the battle with any sport, self belief.

    My memory is fine but I cant see the logic in sacrificing one series to slightly improve your chances in another.

    *Official* Australia in New Zealand

    My sentiments exactly. We used to be able to carry an ordinary no6 because we had Gilly at 7 but now we need someone in there who can belt a quickfire 50 or 60 if need be or launch a rescue if the top order collapse. White is by far the best candidate for the job I just wish he would bowl a bit...

    Memory not that good eh? Last time we toured NZ we left six of our starting eleven at home and got pasted. We lost every game.

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    I thought that myself but then I had a look at the speeds of the rest of the bowlers and they were all down a little so maybe it was more pitch related. Although when a bowler such as Bolly or Siddle get to the end of a summer they must be getting tired because they give everything they have and...

    It was probably just a mad panic to re-arrange the lineup as Marsh pulled his back while the coin toss was happening. I am pretty sure if they had time to think about it things may have been a little different.

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    Very good analogy. The problem with allowing players to interfere with equipment is where does it end? If it is ok for the bowler to attack the rough side of the ball with a foriegn object then surely the batsman would be within his rights to drag his spikes across the shiny side. If a bowler...

    They could only manage 170 odd on a 300 pitch in Adelaide off 50 overs, so what makes anyone think they would have chased down 150 from 24 on that pitch. Channel nine`s has to be just about the worst cricket coverage in the world. Watching a delayed telecast and still missed seeing wickets fall...

    How To Beat Batting Nerves?

    That is actually pretty good advice, not nessecarily metal but music suited to the rythm of your batting technique. Find a song that is the right tempo for you and listen to it before you bat. Have a bit of a dance around to it as well. This will get your footwork moving at the right timing. The...
