    Kevin Pietersen

    Interesting comments from the former England captain, thoughts? "I'm ready to do a Robinho and disappear back home." The stress of the last few months gets to Kevin Pietersen as he plans to emulate the Brazilian footballer Mar 28, 2009 Seems that whenever the going gets tough, the chip...

    Pierre Joubert

    With Morne Morkel sending down over after over of tosh today, I wonder what this guy has to do to get a game, he has just taken 7-28 against the Cobras. He also has FC hundreds Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Pierre Joubert

    The Ozias Bvute Interview

    One of the more controversial figures in Zim cricket speaks Cricinfo - 'I don't wield power over the fortunes of men' Thoughts? In a rush myself, will digest it when back from studying

    Word Assosciation - Cricketers

    Simple concept.. Name the first thing that enters your head when you hear a cricketer's name, and then give a new name.. EG Hashim Amla - Improvement I'll start Nuwan Zoysa

    T20 brings out the best in average/poor cricketers

    It's been a theory I've held since the start, poor players flourish in the T20 format, proving the skills are either different to "real cricket" as I call it, or not existant at all.. Bitter cucumber muncher lamenting the demise of his favourite game, or do I have a point? I'd like to find...

    You know what really floats my cricketing boat?

    Jeremy Coney Don't always agree with his views but he is a gun analyser for mine. Puts his point across well, funny without coming across as a ****.. Could teach some others in the trade for mine..

    Worst batsman ever to score a Test match 100

    I'm going to go for Jerome Taylor.. In terms of recent years, his competition would include 1. Jason Gillespie 2. Saqlain Mushtaq 3. Dwayne Smith

    End of Quota system in SA??

    South Africa to drop the Quota System Really made my day, have been waiting for this for a while but never believed it was possible.. I think three years is a good amount of time to phase it out, by then, most of the players concerned would not have benifitted/suffered under apartheid as it...

    Country's whose ICL teams would beat their 1st XI's

    A truly frightening prospect for anyone who cares about the survival of international cricket (as we know it).. There are already two, Pakistan and Bangladesh.. Who will be the next? And how long will it take?

    You know what really grinds my sporting gears?

    Seeing as pretty much every other forum has one, lets get the ball rolling.. People who are paid to talk about Sport getting pronounciations of names incorrect I'm talking commentators, announcers.. People who are paid to do a job come off as sloppy and ignorant when it's become obvious they...

    Ashley Giles v Paul Harris v Johan Botha

    Three handy spinners, oft derided, not world beaters but can do the job with either bat or ball.. Good tactical men as well.. The ultimate in bits and pieces cricketers, but who would you rather have in your FC or OD side?

    Wicket Keeping

    Any advice? Having thrown myself into contention with the purchase of some pads and gloves I'd like to know what actually to do.. I'm naturally a good fielder and fairly agile.. I used to play in goal so imagine I've had a good start.. Now that my bowling is deteriorated to such a degree that...

    Langeveldt's English Cricket Photos - 2008

    Fairly week offerings this year, so I apologise.. Work catching up and spend precious little time at the cricket..

    Most unpopular cricketer from each country?

    To counter the other thread, this is based on people disliking their own.. Not the most disliked cricketers in general.. I'll have a poor stab at it.. Australia - Symonds England - Harmison India - Ganguly New Zealand - Vettori South Africa - Smith West Indies - Morton

    Ticket prices in English cricket

    Thought this deserved a new and seperate thread.. Just been told that it costs £20 to see Somerset in their one day game against Hampshire today, and if it rains, I don't get a penny back.. Sorry but is this acceptable, or is it just me?

    Purchasing cricket equipment in the States

    Hey all Me and a friend have come up with the bright idea of starting a knockabout cricket team in Southern California (Anaheim area), because we are both mad cricket fans and will be based there this summer, and are also in touch with a lot of expats who are also craving a game.. What I would...

    Vermeulen eyes Zim comeback

    Thoughts? http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/zimbabwe/content/current/story/336722.html Good luck to him, if he can sort himself out then fair play.. He was a good cricketer.. Although I'm slightly concerned about the mixing of the two phrases "I've been taking my medication" and "Zimbabwe Cricket"

    Choosing a good time to retire

    I've heard time and time again today that Pollock has chosen a spot on time to retire, because he leaves the game at his peak, when he is at the top of his own game.. I'd argue that it's not necessarily a good thing.. Doesn't that imply wasted potential? If Polly can bowl like he did today at...

    Boeta Dippenaar announces retirement

    Agh gutted, my favourite SA batsman.. Always under rated in the One day game, never made a big impact in test cricket.. Although I didn't expect him to play for SA again, he's just captained the Free State to the domestic title and was one of the most pleasing to the eye batsmen I have seen for...
