    The Great Captains

    I think arguments on whether or not Ponting was a great captain is redundant. Top 10 certainly.

    Getting all out for so little does not bode so well

    Why don't we have female umpires?

    since we're talking about this, female commentators sound like shrilly 9 year olds no body needs them on 3rd umpire duty

    not mentioning Allan Boredome ... I mean Border, is odd too

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    a question for the aussies: what is the quality of the players that Pakistan are currently playing against in the warm up game? I dont think Ive heard of any of them

    Why don't we have female umpires?

    Honestly, lets stop this bollocks. No female has as much cricketing experience or at as high a level as an experienced male umpire. Lets not ask for female positions just because, lets do it on merit.

    Top 10 Greatest Test Crickters Of All Time

    I'm not Australian. Now, can you answer the question I asked you?

    The Great Captains

    the 2009 Australian side wasnt that much better than England, actually I feel England had a better balanced side Khan and Lloyd both had to re-build teams from scratch or bare bones. Ponting was never able to do that to the same level. It's a criticism yes but one merely used to distinguish...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    Mushy was exceptional at times, he got 9 wickets in back to back tests Saq not too bad and Bedi damn good too. Prasanna had a pretty average second series. Herath had a short tour as you alluded too but did good enough for a couple 5 fors. Can't go wrong with that. Asian spinners have done...

    ***Official*** England in India 2016/17

    England need 350 min, India will be looking to get them out for much less than that. Game on.

    How good was Imran Khan?

    If you can't see how Khan was a better bowlers and a comparable batsman if not better at times (speaking only of tests) then you have no reason to be on a cricketing forum.

    Top 10 Greatest Test Crickters Of All Time

    Apart from national bias, how is Hadlee better than Khan, Richards, Warne?

    How good was Imran Khan?

    Let's not mention Miller in the same breath as Sobers and Khan. Please. Have some shame.

    How good was Imran Khan?

    He also averaged in excess of 50 in 48 of his 88 tests. My pure batting line up would include Tendulkar, Bradman, Richards and Sobers with a couple other names that aren't nailed down. Khan in at 6 isn't that difficult, which also allows for a great keeper/bat at 7 such as Gilly and 4 out and...

    The Great Captains

    Btw, I want to have a little say on the whole Ponting argument that has sprung up on here. Was he a great captain? Certainly. Was he Australia's greatest? ... Well I don't think so, although a year ago I would probably have said yes. This is simply because Ponting's ability to beat better sides...

    You can make a separate list of Aussie only captains if it satisfies you

    He has arrived, the one who pisses lightning and craps thunder. The devourer of worlds ... Mr Keaton Jennings

    The Great Captains

    Miandad captained in tests too, beat England and Sri Lanka I think it was. 2 of the 10 unbeaten tests were actually captained by Miandad.

    Top 10 Greatest Test Crickters Of All Time

    That list has some of the most relevant names but I can't agree with that order. I'd probably go something like: Sobers Bradman Khan Richards Warne McGrath Tendulkar Murali Kallis the 10th spot is difficult - Hadlee? Marshall? Lara? Ponting? Tough call.

    How good was Imran Khan?

    People talking like they don't know anything about him. As captain alone he averaged in excess of 50 with the bat and over 60 against the Aussies with a bowling average in the ball park of...you know...20! The greatest all rounder, possibly ever, depending on how one views Sobers but with the...
