    Giving up the gloves

    CWXI 'Keeper Andre has decided to hand over the gloves at the conclusion of the tour. Famous for his ridiculous appeals from behind the stumps, he hopes to retain his spot as a batsman, while going back to his roots as a leg break bowler. He sees a niche in the squad as a second spinner behind...

    Johnson for Anderson

    So Richard Johnson replaces James Anderson in Bangladesh. Fair enough selection, but I wounldn't have minded seeing some experimentation in Bangla. A bloke like Kirby probablydeserves a go (despite his ginger hair :P) I still think Croft will get the call for SL though.

    Wallabies Starting XV

    I read an interesting artice on foxsports yesterday saying Rogers has been training at fullback recently. This is a good move, because it allows him more space to run through gaps and set up the play. Plus, he is a tactically astute footballer, seeing opportunities from the back of the park...

    Ward Leaves Surrey County Club

    Cricket Web Article Quite interesting, although fair enough. No way he will get noticed around the other players there, and possibly the club will want to open with Sam Newman.

    Late Season Revival?

    Thought I might try to get the forum moving again :P Some of Somerset's batsmen are starting to hit form at the wrong end of the season. Trecso is in good knick. Blackwell, although he's not bowling well is showing his talent with the bat, while even Bryant is scoring runs! Thoughts?

    Next Aussie Stars

    I was having a think about this today, and wondering, who the next Aussie stars will be (as in - those who have not played for Australia). Mark Cosgrove looks a good player, so does Shaun Marsh. Doug Bollinger is quick, while there are bigs wraps on Mitchell Johnson and Damien MacKenzie. Thoughts?

    Gavin Hamilton

    Just wondering about him - have looked at scorecards this season and he hasn't bowled, only played as a batsman. did he give up with the ball following his case of the yips? It would be great if someone could let me know, as I remember her was a talented all-round cricketer (despite his horror...

    Alec Stewart Retires

    Alec Stewart today pulled the curtain on his international career. His last Test will be at the oval against South Africa. Talk has already emeged he won't make it that far, but it would be a great shame if he didn't. I'd like to wish him all the best - has been a fantastic servant to English...

    Mike Smethurst

    I noticed Smethurst in the Hampshire 2nd XI when I was looking over some of their scorecards. From what I remember, he didn't sign during the off-season. How did he end up at the Rose Bowl?

    Jamie Troughton

    Maybe it's just me and it's early days in his innings, but this guy just does not look up to the top level. He's nowhere near getting bat on ball against Boje and struggling severly against Martin van Jaarsveld. If he's one of the best batting talents in England, they are in trouble! Should he...

    Martyn to NSW/Vic?

    Read this is today's paper: West Australian Test cricketer Damien Martyn is looking for a new home in NSW or Victoria after a sudden split with his fiancee. The couple's wedding, scheduled for Melbourne in 3 weeks, was cancelled last week. A South Australian cricketer is in a very similar...

    Australia and Australia A Squads

    Here are the 2 squads: Australia - http://www.cricketweb.net/articles/EpuZlZuVAVqjJbohPJ.shtml Good to see Martin Love get his first overseas tour, and Ashley Noffke back in the fold. I feel for Brad Williams who has certainy done nothing wrong to miss out on selection, especially doing all...

    The Sweep Shot

    Maybe it's just me, but something I have noticed with the sweep shot is that the edges can go anywhere. Including straight into a batsman's head. I have a mate who bowls off-breaks and has had this happen whilst he was bowling numerous times, only to bring it up next conversation with a wry...
