    Helmets: Pointless or not?

    When I was younger, helmets were compulsory. Since I've gone back to cricket, I've batted without a helmet - it seemed to obstruct my vision more than anything. After a pretty poor season last year, I'm considering batting in one again. I've come to the conclusion that it might help me get my...

    Group D - West Indies, England, Ireland

    It may only be T20, but the fact remains England have still never won an ICC international event. If the same thing happens again, to anyone, then it'll be a complete disgrace. Thankfully, England can still qualify. But if that was a knockout game, such as last year's, then...

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2009

    No one else think there's anything fishy about Derby's declaration?

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2009

    Is this the Kolpak factor? To be fair, many teams exploit it. Blame the ECB, not the clubs. The clubs have to the best they can for their members, otherwise what's the point in a competitive Championship.

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2009

    Why have Derbyshire declared? That could have bollocksed it right up for Northants. There is no reason for Debryshire to declare other than to help Essex win :@

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    What's the point in coming out after Tea? Why don't the captains just agree to finish the game...?

    Chris Woakes.

    He took 45 @ 20 for Warwickshire last season, and was he not Warwickshire's top wicket taker as well? Pretty good for a 19yr old. Definitely a promising start, but he'll need to learn more about his own game before being rushed into the England team. He's clearly pretty handy on grass-tops...

    Class is Permanent, Form is... an Illusion?

    I think the more important graph is the second one, as it's liekly to show a more accurate representation. Any innings can be ended early due to a great ball/bad decision etc. therefore if form did exist, it would be more likely to be shown in the second graph. Any chance of adding a line of...

    ***Official*** West Indies in England

    County Cricket - live! | Sport | guardian.co.uk ~80mph... Not great, but he seemed to cause Chanderpaul quite a bit of trouble. A decent prospect, though I doubt he'll get much recognition from England unless he can add some pace.

    ***Official*** South Africa in England

    Was at the Scotland game today. Good fun, especially when Fred was on the boundary having banter with the supporters. First time I've seen Patel bowl. Might be well suited to the OD game, he bowls very flat and quite quick. Good fielder as well. The conditions meant the ball was swinging all...

    The Green Thread

    Has something happend to my stats? For some reason I'm batting 4 for the 2nd's, despite averaging 10 with the bat. Similarly, I bowled a total of 3 overs in both matches despite hvaing a bowling avg of 26... Either the captain's pissed, or my stats have been entered wrong!
