    why wasim and waqar were accused of ball tempering?

    You're such a ********, Skippy. So if one player comes out and says something its automatically gospel truth 8-)

    Ah Geriatric Sanders......what a pleasure to hear from you again. Back from hibernation I see. Did I ever mention that I am a proud Argentine ? I sure enjoyed the spectacle the other night when Beckham's lads put on such a great show against Denmark ....did did you see that Sanders ??? England...

    Predictions for England winter tours in IND & PAK

    Skippy, we're talking about 2 tours to the subcontinent....... yeah England are bowling well on wickets they're used to at the moment....the question is how will they bowl in different conditions on the subcontinent ? Flintoff will probably be dangerous he's in my view the best of the England...

    Predictions for England winter tours in IND & PAK

    Fast, aggressive bowling is of no use if it is not well directed. Hostility is not purely about pace and aggression it's also about keeping the peressure on batsmen continuosly something that the Australian side of 2000-2001 were adept at. Try again, Skippy.

    Predictions for England winter tours in IND & PAK

    England will need luck with the tosses particularly in India. A lot of people don't mention it but I do think the Aussies were fortunate to have won 3 tosses in a row in India in October 2004. I just got the impression from the Aussie side both on the 2004 tour as well as for the TVS cup in...

    Harmison v Akhtar, Trescothick v Sehwag

    Who do you guys think is the better fast bowler out of Harmison and Akhtar and the better opener out of Trescothick and Sehwag ? :D

    Thorpe to retire.

    One of the best comebacks I've seen in a while. Got Pickup bang between the eyes there :D

    Can't Keep Can Bat

    Its only really Geraint Jones and Parthiv Patel who are really bad. The rest of the keepers are ok.

    Your top 5 current batsmen to bat 2 days to save a test??

    Agree on Laxman.....if he's set, he's one one of the most difficult players to get out. In the eyes of several Aussies, even more so than Dravid.

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    The bottom line is Australia are a better side hands down. THeir bowling is more consistent - with England, harmison blows hot and cold and Jones doesn't really impress me (he's ok but I don't think he is or will be the world beater quick that some Englishmen think he will become). . Hoggard...

    Can Cricketweb make a strong cricket team?

    Bangladesh wwere good enough to beat Australia in a ODI. They would dispose of any potential CW X1 with relative ease. I wouldn't mind having a crack at bowling at the likes of Pickup, Richard and tooextrafool though. I played second grade for Sydney University so I reckon I'd knock 'em over...

    South Africa bigger threat to Australia than England

    Based, at the very least on assessments by Desmond Haynes and Vasbert Drakes, guys who've played in both domestic comps and who both agree the SAffer one is more competitive.

    Miandad gets it spot on

    Common sense to base your whole argument on what one politician says...... 8-) If that's common sense to you, I can only wonder.

    South Africa bigger threat to Australia than England

    In the 2004 English domestic season, average bowlers like Jon Lewis, James Ormond, Martin Saggers were among the leading wickettakers. Furthermore, guys like Ramprakash, Spearman, Hick, Owais Shah are among the leading run getters. Also pretty average players.

    South Africa bigger threat to Australia than England

    Australia and South AFrica have stronger setups than England. Unsure about how the rest would go vis a vis England.

    Miandad gets it spot on

    In the off topic thread, you rail about the media making such a big deal about caial tensions in London. Yet it is the same media that makes such a big deal about Karachi's supposed unsafety. (i am assuming you're relying on media reports with regards to your references regarding the "volatile"...

    Miandad gets it spot on

    Do explain why ? The Brits are the no2 terrorist target in the world after the Yanks. And yet you expect people to have no worries about playing in London ? Again typical arrogant British attitude.

    South Africa bigger threat to Australia than England

    WRONG. RSA sent an A team to Australia in 2003 where they drew the 'test' series. Contrast this with the efforts of England A who went to India in 2004 and lost every match they played barring one game against a u-19 side and flopped again on a tour to Sri Lanka in 2005.

    South Africa bigger threat to Australia than England

    Look at the recent performances of the England A and under-19 teams. These players , if you believe some forum members like Pickup and Marc, come from supposedly the "second best domestic setup" in the world. Hell even Rod Marsh admitted he hasn't seen much outstanding talent in his tenure.
