    Breaking News - Hair reinstated to elite panel

    of course he should have no balled him - lost his whole match fee with no suspension sounds a bit light

    Breaking News - Hair reinstated to elite panel

    As for South Africa I think their problems with Hair date back to an early 90s test in Adelaide where Warney with great assistance from Hair bowled Australia to a victory on the last day. Aust toured South Africa just after and their were more banners about Hair than players at the grounds

    Breaking News - Hair reinstated to elite panel

    Does the match referee make every call on chucking, so if someone deliberately throws the ball while "bowling" umpire would have to say nothing and refer it to the match referee for analysis?

    Indian Premier League

    Could see more and more of the Gayle type decision processes. Cricket is in infancy as a professional sport and could one day IPL or something similar be the major one day competition at least? and test matches programmed around it ,,,,,,,ie an NBA type situation but with the weatlh...

    Wisden's Cricketers of the Century

    Yep - cant see how the list can change unless Warnie gets a knighthood, I suppose the names all start with s already.

    Taufel to Leave the Game?

    Billy even made his own rule change....the old tailender LBW rule even went out the window and he gave some of those not out. Some guys in recent Aust India were plumb tailender LBW but he gave them not out. Glenn McGrath may have made one more 50 if he was the beneficiary of this new rule.

    Taufel to Leave the Game?

    Billy Bowden has umpiring down pat - make as few decisions as possible just give people not out all day cant go wrong - if you think you might give someone out refer it to the third umpire. Give LBWs not out and you dont get bollocked. The three commentators will find a way to see it as not...

    Will Matt Hayden go down as an all-time great?

    You have to assume that a star in the 20s would be a star today because if he played today he would have all the preparation, fitness etc etc that they have today. I think cricket is one of the best games to compare people over 100+ years because the nature of the game has changed less than say...

    Speed Guns into Context

    The speed on TV I cant see being measured out of the hand as yorkers are always the ones that get the top speed and bouncers although sometimes appearing faster are a slower speed. This may be because digging the ball into the pitch slows it down more but it appears to me due to the trajectory...

    What should Ishant work on?

    Agreed - starting to do things like holding hands to his ears like when he got a wicket against aussies in Sydney - dont get ahead of yourself.....

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    The debate about whether the word monkey or not is racist has been done to death on here. On the last tour of India the crowd chanted it to Symonds and other incidents....ie it is racist and they know it is racist..and that is the point. There is plenty things on the web with Indians...

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    The two cricket boards got together and downgraded the charge to racial abuse...so the question of proof was not even considered in the appeal. There is no proof that Bhajji racially abused Symonds and no proof that he didnt. The charge being downgraded meant that the circumstantial evidence...

    Is spin terminal?

    Its an exception rather than the rule all right, yep we have been spoilt indeed. As far as Australia is concerned maybe its time to blood a new spinner and forget both Hogg and MacGill. If Haddin comes into the side at 7, Lee Johnson and Clarke are quite capable at 8,9,10 so get a youngster in...
