    Gilchrist a cheater?

    http://www.muralifans.com/Subpages/News_400_03_05_07.htm This is my the most ridiculous thing I have heard in quote a long time. Pity some Sri Lankan's can't act like their captain in defeat. A headline could be read on this Murali site after the world cup saying something like, "Australia and...

    McGrath = a little overrated these days

    I didn't want to put this in the McGrath tribute thread since it would seem inappropriate. I am a huge fan of Glenn McGrath and consider him one of the best I've seen. I enjoy his bowling and his best efforts against the likes of Brian Lara etc. Can't say enough of how much enjoyment he's given...

    David Campese

    David Campese, how do you rate him? In fact this might best be done with a questionaire? 1. Do you think Campo was Australia's best ever rugby player? 2. Where do you think he rates among the games best players? 3. What did you like about him? 4. What didn't you like about him? 5. If you...

    How does the Super 8 work?

    Can someone explain to me how the Super 8 will work in this world cup? I remember in the 1999 world cup how there was a super 6, comprised of three teams from two groups. Each team from one group would face the other three teams from the other groups. Will something similar happen in this world...

    10 best All Blacks ever

    NOTE: If someone here thinks this should be in the rugby thread, then that's fine with me. I just felt this topic might get enough attention in the rugby thread, and also too many topics in one thread can get too much at times. I'm not meaning to clog up space though. You know, something that...

    Tendulkar to continue?

    Is it true that Sachin Tendulkar just signed over the rights to his name for what translated to more pounds that we could ever dream of earning...? And that he resigned a few contracts that mean he has to keep playing for another three years? If so that's amazing. Tendulkar will play until he's...

    Best 1st innings ODI bowler.

    Anybody who's familiar with me here knows I don't entirely trust stats... but this mistrust gets much worse when it comes to ODI's. Trusting stats in ODI's is silly if you ask me. First off if your in a bad team then you wont go for many runs since there's no need to risk making quick runs...

    Most entertaining XI

    Top five characters in cricket history

    1. Viv Richards Easy pick. The greatest character in cricket history. All people should be obligated to read that little piece on him at cricinfo because it sums him up quite nicely. The best thing I can say to describe Viv was the when I saw clips of him running out the Chappell's in the first...

    Who'll take the most wickets this year?

    Yeah it's a stat I enjoy looking at. Who will take the most wickets in a calendar year. Warne's done it five times but really isn't having the best year. I don't know if Sri Lanka play enough tests for Murali to be a chance, and even then there are a few names who are taking wickets like him...

    Prolong Warne's career - MacGill

    http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/bdeshvaus/content/current/story/244516.html He makes an interesting point. Don't know if I entirely agree with it, but ever since Glenn McGrath hurt his ankle last year, Warne carried the teams workload. It worked well for a long time, but the guys shoulder is...

    Is cricket big in South Africa?

    I think it's obvious when you watch cricket from India or Australia or really anywhere from the sub continents that its really popular there. Yet I'm not sure about South Africa. Some of the crowds in SA that watched the ODI's against Australia looked massive, yet the test crowds were terrible...

    Warne's on YouTube...

    Warne's on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw5_hLpcGEo&search=Shane%20Warne That's the Strauss that made Michael Slater deafen Boycott. Unfortunately it wasn't the C4clip, it was Sky.. And here's one of Warne talking about his best deliveries. If you haven't ever seen the Gatting...

    Best Indian spinner ever? 85940384

    As a far of spin bowling, I enjoy studying the likes of Warne, Murali, O'Rielly, Grimmett and Laker, Benaud, Quadir, Mushtaq etc. But when it comes to Indian spin bowlers I really don't know much about them or who the best was. So I thought I'd ask: Who is the greatest Indian spin bowler ever...

    Adam Gilchrist - how good is he?

    Threre's only three Australian cricketers I enjoy watching - Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist. So I was interested to read here yesterday that some of you rate him as one of the greats. Some of you ranked him as one of Australia's five best players ever (ludacris but interesting)...

    Best cricketer right now.

    I personally think Freddie's the only choice. Warne (my pick for cricketer of the year 2005), hasn't had a great time against South Africa as Ohtani's Jacket mentioned in another thread. Murali's evelated himself to the world best bowler on the ICC rankings, yet it happened after he played...

    Is McGrath one of Australia's five best cricket players ever?

    Simple question: Is Glenn McGrath one of Australia's five best cricket player ever? My old list went like this... 1. Sir Donald Bradman 2. Shane Warne 3. Dennis Lillee 4. Keith Miller 5. Greg Chappell I'm not sure if McGrath is there or not... what say you?

    Who the Aussies think are the best

    There was probably a thread for this a few months ago, but if there wasn't... The Australian team was asked, this year, to rank the best international bowler and batter they've played against in their opinion. They were asked who they felt was the best players in their team based on their...
