    Greatest Aussie Test XI of past 15 years

    Ditto, I'd rather not put that much effort into a post.

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2007

    I love how Mahmood is hit around the ground at every level of the game. I was watching cricinfo his first ball of the day 4, how often have we seen that. I'm just happy it wasn't for England this time. Economy rate 6.64. I was happy, I could see the England selectors possibly finally realising...

    Ricky Ponting vs Steve Waugh

    I wasn't really interested in cricket when Waugh was playing so I cna;t really say. I am surprised at the sheer quantity of people who rate Waugh as a better batsman alone though. Not surprised by the captaincy part though.

    Greatest batsmen of modern time - vote

    Ponting for me.

    Is spin bowling a dying art in modern day cricket?

    Voted yes, I'm not really sure why though.

    Malinga: ***iest Cricketer!!!!!

    I have to say this doesn't surprise me, quite a few girls I know really like the look of Sri Lankan guys. Also I heard a few girls comments on Malinga in the student union bar and they were quite complimentary.

    Why the hypocrisy on Zimbabwe ?

    The point is that there is much unrest in Zimbabwe currently, people are becoming less afraid to stand up to the ZANU (PF). These people also know they have the backing of the international community. Not boycotting Zimbabwe gives the wrong impression to a) those who are willing to stand up and...

    Why the hypocrisy on Zimbabwe ?

    You can't make the assumption that you can deal with all countries in exactly the same way. Complain that China violate human rights all you like but if you really believe that boycotting the Olympics is the best way to change China and bring it into the 'international community' then your just...

    ***Official** West Indies in England***

    Perhaps if it was his knee again or his hamstring. The fact a ball hit and broke his finger when he was batting doesn't make him any more prone to breaking his finger than anyone else in the team. It was bad luck.

    Most over rated players

    Vaas is overated, only useful when it's swinging and totally un-penetrative when it's not :ph34r:

    England's ODI lineup after World Cup

    No Flintoff?

    How good is Simon Jones

    You could say 31 is poor and it is especially by international standards. However going back to the recurrent theme in this thread, you can't bring your average down when you're injured. I'm optimistic that had Simon Jones not had half the injuries he has had he would bowled well enough and...

    How good is Simon Jones

    lol fair enough.

    How good is Simon Jones

    I don't really see how you can give him a rating other than specific series. 2005 Ashes 9/10 but he's not ever bowling for long enough for us to able to make any kind of overall judgment on him.

    England's ODI lineup after World Cup

    He'll be 35... Assuming he makes a good comeback i.e. is over his illness I'd say yes.

    How good is Simon Jones

    I might be reading too much into this but I resent that slightly. Lewis is a vastly more skillful bowler than the likes of Plunkett, Mahmood etc. He's been consistently one of the best bowlers in England for many years and doesn't deserve to be put into that category. Edit First class stats...

    England's pace attack for First Test

    Flintoff, Hoaggard, Harmison and Lewis. Harmison will come good again and should be given this chance imo. Lewis because he is deadly early(ish) season in England. Although I haven't taken into account where the test is because I don't know. The other two pick themselves as does the rest of the...

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2007

    Fair enough, I suppose some players are just not suited to ODI. I don't pretend to be the most knowledgeable person regarding cricket. So I will ask a similar question to the one I asked about Vaughan (if you remember). Why can't Jones convert his Test talent (although I guess the jury still has...

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2007

    That isn't slagging him off his ability as a one day player though is it? That is just slagging him off because he's always bloody injured. Unless of course the reason he doesn't play is because it is generally accepted at Glamorgan and in the England setup that he just isn't good enough for the...
