    The next nation to be granted Test status

    I voted nobody.. I think test cricket will shrivel up and die except for a marquee series played by England and Australia called the Ashes every couple of years.. Take a look at the latest NZ v WI test match to illustrate my point.. 30 years ago it would have been Malcolm Marshall bowling at...

    Not buying that.. When you compare the lastest NFL and Baseball releases and compare them to Ashes cricket 2013 where often the bowler bowls in the wrong direction? I think we are well within our rights to demand some realism and authenticity.

    ***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

    Who is covering this game on the radio? Tuned into Radio Sport and they're talking about Farmer Suicides and Sleep Drops

    **Official** Zimbabwean Domestic Season 2013/14

    Didn't even think it would go ahead

    Rank your country's commentary team

    I move all over the place but I have watched and listened to cricket on all the networks.. I think the standard of commentary is decreasing.. I guess as the game sells out to T20 and AFL we don't need quality any more, but thats another discussion. The Best Victor Marks (UK) - The best...

    One massive flaw with BL99 which makes the game absolutely unplayable for me is that all the batsman are exactly the same.. Just as easy to get a 50 with McGrath as Tendulkar.. Such basic stuff

    I've never bowled an EA batsman with a good length ball from a quick bowler. Which for me makes their games useless

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    Ah which differentiates it of course from the IPL

    Ive never understood why it is so difficult.. I mean all the action happens in the same place, as opposed to football where anything can happen in any given part of the pitch.. Surely playing a certain shot to a ball in a certain area will produce differing outcomes with differing...

    Wisden names All Time World XI

    Yeah this I'll take a test average of whatever Gilly's was over anything thank you very much.. And I've no idea how WG would deal with Johnson on a bouncy Gabba pitch.. He'd probably tread on his stumps and refuse to leave the ground

    Spinners getting hatfuls of caught behinds and caught at slip is the only real annoyance I've seen.. So I just reduced everyone;s reflex catching ability and to a degree that works fine

    My favourite game is International Cricket 2010, which if you make a few tweaks feels the closest to real cricket.. The International Cricket Captain series was a fantastic management series too.. The general consensus among fans is that the only decent out of the box game to have been...

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    I think cricket has a lot of terminology which makes it difficult, and a lot of anglicisms.. Stuff like Silly mid off and, ambled through for a leg-bye.. Its an entirely different vocabulary you have to learn, particularly if you are not a native English speaker.. My girlfriend was listening in...

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    People who are completely baffled by cricket I can understand how people don't get the nuances of cricket if they are not accustomed to the game, perhaps why it lasts for 5 days and things like the LBW law.. Perhaps I'm looking at it from the wrong viewpoint but I can never understand people...

    Their game looks awesome though. Just a shame their release has been a shambles.. Waited for Ashes Cricket to arrive and now won't release because of the massive dent AC2013 has made to cricket gaming's already appaling reputation.. By which time the Ashes will be over and there will be fewer...

    I want to attempt a world record

    I'm also curious.. To be honest I want the practice and want to combine it with a good cause.. None of my friends play cricket and I always end up in the northern hemisphere during the winter and the southern hemisphere during the winter.. For a guy who likes batting long, it's a bit of a...

    I want to attempt a world record

    I have applied to Guiness for the world record attempt.. That will take a few weeks to process no doubt.. I see there are two blokes netting for 48 hours in January in the UK.. I assume mine will go through as a record seeing as it is just me. Need to drum up as much support as possible, I...

    Is Nathan Lyon's Current Ranking As The Best Spin Bowler in the World Justified?

    I prefer Luneburg Herath If Hafeez is the worlds best ODI spinner, then surely Lyon can get a gig at the test spot

    Ponting > Richard, Tendulker

    Yeah funny how foam affects some people more than others

    Ponting > Richard, Tendulker

    Do you think captaincy caused Ponting or Tendulkar a greater change in foam?
