    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    I'm not going to comment on whether people said what they are reported to have. One point I want to make is I think efforts like this to combat racism do nothing, and contribute somewhat to the perpetuation of the kind of ideas that lead to racism in the first place. Specifically in this...

    Reduce The Length of ODI games?

    I think the echo-chamber has gotten way out of hand and the criticisms of 50 over cricket are overblown. The same proportion of tests are unmemorable as ODI's. People complain about boredom in the middle overs, which I think can be the best part, because it's a genuine battle for both sides and...

    **Official** 'My Current World XI' Thread

    I'd rather see another Asia vs The Rest series/game or some variation of an all-star thing, maybe East vs West (eg; WI, ENG, SA, ZIM, KEN, vs PAK, IND, SL, BAN, AUS, NZ) or North vs South (ENG, WI, PAK, IND, BAN, SL vs AUS, NZ, SA, ZIM, KEN), to mix it up better. With the best teams picked, not...

    Tough, a lot of good players turned 30 this year. Bracken, Haddin, Hussey, Noffke, Rogers... Jaques +Ronchi Watson Clarke Pomersbach White Hopes McDonald Johnson Tait Hilfenhaus 12th Thornely More of an OD setup here. No specialist spinner and a little heavy on 'all-rounders'. No spinners...

    Greatest ever One Day Innings

    Was that world series classics on fox sports? It's hard to judge the quality of an innings when they show 50 overs in 20 minutes.

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia

    Gilchrist's 100 sixes http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ausveng/content/current/story/273697.html Odd, he hit 6 sixes in his 66th test. I think he went down to the Christchurch crossrads at midnight and sold his soul to Satan for a squash ball.

    For Australians

    I toyed with saying 'pun not intended'

    For Australians

    Honestly, coming into this series I defended him, but then I saw the high speed camera footage from the first test and I'm torn. I will grant him his anatomical defect whereby he can't fully straighten his arm, but in the high speed footage as his arm straightens and hits the point where it...

    oneday games in the 70's 80's and 90's

    For most of that period there were not the early overs fielding restrictions, the ridiculously close in boundary ropes, there were more balanced pitches, batting tactics were not as innovative, specialist one day players were fewer and farther between (a lot of teams just fielded their test...

    *Official* Australian Domestic Season Thread

    Yeah, Hodge, White and Harwood all got games. I think the thing is, the selectors can't see Victoria, but people keep telling them it's there, so they blindly grab at whatever player floats to the top and then completely misuse them..

    David Hussey, he was not in the world cup 30 why?

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    So, what have we learnt about team selection? I still don't want Hayden in there, but Veto vetoed that with his butter fingers. White to be dropped? Tait released, Clark not a likely starter in any important game. Hodge out, never looked the part any way in spite of domestic numbers. So...

    I didn't watch much today, did Clark do anything to prove he deserves a one day spot?

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    See, i'd have said he's deteriorated. I thought he was much better around 2002/3 than now. Last time England toured he had some great late spells. From memory his worst death bowling has often been in recent games, when defending large scores. But memory of one day games tend to run together...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    The thing is, Lee's often good at the death, because his angles aren't all over the (wrong) place like Tait's. Tait might as well throw the ball at the boundaries himself the way he lets them help it on its way. With a little more control he might make a good test strike bowler, as it stands...

    So, do you reckon they'll throw Hodge in at 3?

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Damn, dropped catches are playing a huge part this summer. In results, in careers, in making me not want to watch games where the catching is more pedestrian than my own.
