    Structure of Test Cricket

    I see what you're saying about cricket losing big series (in your example the Ashes) but I can't see any of the teams who are involved in fierce series getting relegated if this series was brought in. The only teams who would be in danger of being relegated (in the forseeable future anyway)...

    Structure of Test Cricket

    Should there be a re-structuring of Test cricket? Teams like Ireland, Afghanistan and Netherlands are all on the up, and they are knocking on the doors of Test teams in the ODI and T20 competitions. Surely they deserve a crack of the whip at Test level? I would personally create a two tier...

    County Championship Predictions

    Looking through the forum I couldn't see a thread on the County Championship season that will be starting in a matter of weeks. (Apologies if there is already a thread) As a Leicestershire fan I would like a significant improvement on last year, some of our young players would have had time to...

    I appreiciate that not everyone wants promoting on a forum but I'm just a normal guy who's set up a cricket blog, I'm just getting my views out there like everyone else on this forum is, the only difference is instead of putting my views directly on to a new thread it's on a different web link.

    Joe Root

    My point is that, in my personal opinion, Australia have no world class bowlers (Pattinson has the potential to be one) Harris is old and not really proven on the Test stage (Most of his caps against WI and NZ), Doherty the spinner is average at best as is Peter Siddle. Stuart Broad is not...

    Perhaps "Weak" is a exaggeration on my part, but I still feel with the exception of young James Pattinson who has got a lot of potential I wouldn't class any of their other bowlers as world class bowlers. For this reason I think Root could potentially make a few large totals this summer and winter

    Joe Root

    Is Joe Root going to be the next best thing in English cricket? And how has he got to where he is now in the first place? I've written a post about it, and it's at TheSillyPoint I'd love to hear any feedback about any of the points made in the post! Cheers
