    My top 20 allrounders of all-time

    Imran wasn't really that great a captain to be honest.

    Oscar Pistorius

    Why does that even matter? Whether he competes well or ends up coming last trailing by ridiculous time margins is not even a factor. It's the slippery slope argument. If you're letting him run with able bodied athletes, you're leaving the door open for any disadvantaged group to run the main...

    Future of fast bowling in India

    The BCCI should just follow my ICC 2006 blueprint and play a 5 man bowling attack of Joginder Sharma, Munaf Patel, Piyush Chawla, Pravin Kumar and Jai Prakash Yadav :p Never lost a test series in 2 years.

    Nehra isn't even playing this test. :-O

    Oscar Pistorius

    Who's denying him the opportunity to run? I'd be proud of a guy with no legs running. That is what we have the paralympics for. Sure we could have the New Zealand womens cricket team and the Pakistani hearing impaired cricket team and the Indian visually challenged persons cricket team in the...

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    How hard is it to show appreciation for your keeper by running up a few paces? Atleast look in his direction and make a gesture or something instead of ignoring him completely.

    Oscar Pistorius

    Sure he's trying, but why insist on running with able bodied athletes and diluting their competition for them? Its not like he's going to win and it proves nothing beyond what everyone already knows anyway. I'll say it again, attention whore.

    Cricketers with similar careers

    Botham and Flintoff. Both built their reputations on a good period followed by an extended poor one. Botham became fat Botham (which his ardent followers would prefer to blank out) and Flintoff seems to be going down the path of drunk injured Flintoff... :ph34r: Yeah, I'm not being entirely...

    Don't see any commending him on his 'noble' goal. Same with Sorenstram. She did no good to any cause playing with the men. What exactly did she prove?

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    Andrew Flintoffs celebrations (lack of) in the Ashes 2005, especially in the Old Trafford test when a batsman edged him, the ball ricocheted off Strauss and Geraint pulled off a beauty of a diving catch off the rebound. Everyone ran upto Geraint to celebrate his excellent relfex catch, and...

    Doesn't seem to have too much support from other disabled athletes tbh. I can understand why.

    Oscar Pistorius

    Why? If anything this is a poor joke he's pulling on all the disabled people who participate in the paralympics.

    Oscar Pistorius

    What good would it do to have him race with normal people? To show that state of the art technology limbs are better than the regular artcifial limbs other handicapped people have to use? To promote sales of expensive artificial limbs of a particular brand? Show off for mine.

    For those based in India: Did you miss the first day's play

    I get Star Cricket here; although going by India's performance today, I wish I didn't.

    A fun game to play

    Since Perm came out trumps, he plays the next round against someone else. Could someone who's online a lot take him on now? Same system as last round, and the players already featured are now ineligible for selection. Both members will have to select fresh teams.

    A fun game to play

    Its highly unlikely for that to happen twice in 3 tests, but then Murali, Barnes and Hadlee aren't the worst trio to take the cricket field. :ph34r:
