    What really grinds your gears *SD EDITION*

    New members who create a thread, and then get lambasted because there was a similar thread 2 years ago.. Chill out, it's not like everyone should have to do a full on search every time they want to ask a question or make a point..

    New South African Rugby Coach named

    http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=6&click_id=4&art_id=nw20080109230937589C912442 And he's black.. What is sad is that even if he is up to standard, he's already got the token tag attatched to him, regardless.. I'd have chosen Heyneke Meyer, but there we go.. Best of luck to him in keeping...

    2008 bowling

    Okay, haven't bowled in nearly a year, and I know you don't need to apply shine to a windball, so go easy.. I know stuff like head position is horrible, but just fancied seeing if I could still turn my arm over.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2KtOlUih3E

    How are the sceptics feeling?

    I still hate T20, the whole brashness, lack of charm and subtlety means that it will never win over my heart. If cricket needs dancing girls for it to be a valid form of entertainment, then it is no game of mine.. BUT, I've been so glad to watch a decent spectacle put on by the ICC.. Some good...

    Will Twenty20 ACTUALLY bring more people to the real game?

    I agree with people who say Twenty20 is great if it brings more people to the game of cricket, but will these people be interested in what 50 over and 5 day cricket has to offer? I mean, when there are no dancing girls and people actually have to watch what is going on, won't they realize that...

    Oscar Pistorius

    The "Fastest Man on no legs" who has earned the right to compete through sheer weight of performance with able bodied athletes is causing a bit of a storm at the moment in the world of Athletics.. Personally I disagree with him being able to run with able bodied athletes.. Okay its...

    Langeveldt's English Domestic Season Photos - 2007

    Obviously a shorter thread this year due to the fact that I've gone back to South Africa... But its nice to be dodging the showers down at the county ground for a few games at least...

    Worst Sporting Venues?

    Inspired by a program I've just seen on Sky Three.. Was pretty appalled Plymouth Argyle made an appearance, what with our almost totally new stadium and comparative lack of crowd trouble when you look at the omissions of Cardiff, Swansea and Milwall.. Perhaps its just the long drive home after...

    The Olympics 2012 - Logo unveiled..

    And it's down with the kids :laugh: - Imagine getting paid to produce that?

    Why does cricket need a strong West Indies?

    It really gets my goat when I hear this being uttered by former players or commentators.. Fact of the matter is, all sports rely on balances in power changing.. We now have a dominant Australia, South Africa re-admitted, Bangladesh starting to show glimpses of progression, and other nations...

    Marcus Trescothick

    He has my utmost respect as a bloke.. It took me a while to realize how bad this lifestyle really is, when you get on a night flight that takes you further away from people who constantly remind you how much they love you. When you get something like two weeks with them, it's just enough time...

    Minnows - Do we need them, do they improve with us?

    I just don't think the minnow thing is working at all, please don't tell me any dutch cricketer actually improved after the pasting meted out by us yesterday.. Perhaps young Kervezee might have gained a bit of confidence, but if he ever makes anything of his cricket, It'll only be in England...

    Why is Jacques Kallis so disliked?

    He scores runs and he's selfish, boring and dour, only batting to boost his average.. He takes wickets, and it's because he's only doing it to boost his average, against a minnow or on an appaling pitch.. Can Jacques Kallis do anything right? What would he have to do to be considered among the...

    Jacques Rudolph signs 3 year deal with Yorkshire

    Interesting News http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=6&click_id=4&art_id=qw1169587085927S163 Surely he was very close to being picked for SA, seems an odd move unless it was motivated by money.. One would hope it would be more benificial for him to be playing Franchise cricket instead of...

    The Makhaya Ntini appreciation thread

    Props to my man Makhaya Ntini who passed 300 test wickets today.. Like Allan Donald, the homeboy did it at his home ground.. I've never seen a cricketer give so much effort for his country.. Good Article http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/cricinfomagazine/content/current/story/277030.html

    Golf Advice Needed

    I've been playing for a few months now and am nailing shots with reasonable distance on any club, however I can't iron out a fault in my game, whereby about half my shots start straight and then skew off to the right (wind or no wind).. I've tried lots of subtle alterations with not much...

    "Quote Alerts"

    I was just thinking, it would be a good idea to have some sort of method to view posts of people that have just quoted you.. Obviously I have no idea what the constraints of the forum software are, but any thoughts?

    Aussie Public going soft?

    I've noticed here (and pointed out in Off Topic), that Aussie fans seem to be spending more time lamenting this lack of an Ashes contest, than rubbing Pommie noses into the dust with ridicule and the usual hoots of derision that accompany a tour down under.. It seems a strange attitude, and to...

    Andrew Flintoff as a leader of men

    Okay his quality is not doubted, but what most worries me about the recent Ashes performances is his inability to criticize during his interviews.. He may be a really happy chap and a pleasure to play for, but bleating on about the "positives" when you have smacked 500+ and still been hammered...
