    ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, UAE 2010

    ...and Afghanistan take the whole thing, what a story. The players must have been on such a high during the game knowing they'd done the hard work already.

    Abdul Qadir's Australian Adventure, 1998

    Plus bowling 25 overs straight isn't too difficult once you've built some stamina up and aren't looking to knock the batsman over every ball. I remember my teacher at school (and cricket coach) telling me that Ray Illingworth (I think, could have been Underwood) was offered a professional...

    Abdul Qadir's Australian Adventure, 1998

    Fair enough then. There has been talk of changing it over here, that's probably more a consequence of shorter formats though.

    Abdul Qadir's Australian Adventure, 1998

    But surely it would have been better for him to have been only allowed to bowl 25 or 30 overs, allowing someone else to bowl 20 or so? I've seen league games over here (admittedly only 50 or 55 over innings) where two bowlers have just bowled right through. And one bowling their 25 is very common.

    Abdul Qadir's Australian Adventure, 1998

    Great piece of journalism. Bit of a sidenote, but I've always had a really distaste for competitions that allow bowlers to bowl all innings. Qadir's feat seems incredible, but it can't have done much good for younger players coming through.

    Rajasthan reveal global team deal

    Yeah, exactly, Hampshire are their own free entity, albeit heavily reliant on the ECB.

    Rajasthan reveal global team deal

    Worcestershire could be the big winners here, even if the compensation they get is less than Hampshire (and by extension, Rajasthan) make from the venture, they're getting free cash for a change of name. The county nicknames are hardly brandnames.

    Cricket's Biggest Rivalry?

    Ashes India - Pakistan India - Australia England - South Africa Australia - South Africa Australia - New Zealand Formerly England - West Indies, rarely has much going for it either way these days though. That is all.

    The Linear Test World Champions

    The international football unofficial world championships is a lot more interesting, partly because if there are a few unusual results it can get dragged around a few backwaters before reemerging.

    *Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand

    Nope, been dire with the bat in all forms and competitions so far this year. Would like to see... Tamim Iqbal Junaid Siddique (for want of a better option...) Shahriar Nafees Raqibul Hasan Shakib Al Hasan Mahmudullah Mushfiqur Rahim plus three seamers and a spinner. Not a chance of that being...

    *Official* India in Bangladesh

    Don't think he was ever underrated - picked out by TWC as Bangladesh's most promising player aged under 21 back in 2003 or 2004 I think (along with Ashraful), when he was about 15 and before he'd made a senior debut in any form of the game. He was just unknown. If you go right back to the start...

    *Official* India in Bangladesh

    The whole Shakib is awesome thing got a bit out of hand before the series anyway. Aside from some decent performances (one on home tracks) against New Zealand and then in South Africa, all his success has really come against Zimbabwe. IMO he will the best allrounder in the world in ten years...

    Worst team to tour Australia

    Surely the 2002-03 side was worse than the 2006-07 side? Miles worse in my book.

    *Official* India in Bangladesh

    No, he is ridiculously talented, I think that's undeniable. His hand-eye co-ord is as good as any batsmen I've ever seen, just look at the two innings in the summer of 2005. But he's got no head and plenty of technical flaws with his game. You don't score a hundred on Test debut against...

    *Official* India in Bangladesh

    He kept playing cameos in the DPL, finished averaging about 25 I think. There have only been two rounds of NCL cricket so far and I don't think he's made any real impression.

    Countries You Will Be Comfortable Playing Cricket In

    Fair enough... so it's as much a complete absence of a desire to travel abroad than a genuine 'I wouldn't play there if you were to pay me for it' feeling?

    Pak Players ignored by IPL - this is how democracy works

    Who are you proposing plays in this PPL Bagapath? Because the rest of the world's best cricketers are already playing in India and anyone else will either not be good enough and will probably not really want a trip to Lahore in the immediate future.

    Countries You Will Be Comfortable Playing Cricket In

    Oh yeah of course I understand that there isn't much wrong with irrational ideas, but I was just wondering whether it was a decision Richard would come to instinctively or whether he'd genuinely given it any thought. And there will be places to play cricket like that... but would a touring...

    Pak Players ignored by IPL - this is how democracy works

    It's probably been asked already but I'm not trawling through this stuff... How do the statements "Pakistan players ignored by IPL" and "this is how democracy works" have any connection? In other words, what does the IPL have anything to do with democracy. At its most basic level, the...

    Countries You Will Be Comfortable Playing Cricket In

    Really? Is that an irrational or a rational reservation? I've been on family holidays to the states, as I would have thought many others have and never felt in any danger at any point. I can't see you going too far off the beaten track to play a game of cricket there. Likewise loads of school...
