    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    You wouldn't pick Ali who has had an exceptional 18 months in tests and was THE test player for England in the summer? I think not selecting Rashid and Plunkett to even be in the squad are the two big omissions. Not bringing the best fast bowler in England over was another problem, speaking of...

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

    So City have this one in the bag? I cant see anyone outside of the Champs League beating them to be honest. De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane and Jesus are coming of age just at the right time and two of them are genuine world class talents. Add to that the wiley old heads of Aguero and Silva and you...

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    It's more than simply picking the best bat. The ECB clearly highlighted something in him, maybe some tactical nous or locker room respect had bred him for the role for almost 2 years. The problem is, the moment he became captain there was a certain level of negativity visible. Most pertinent was...

    England complain

    I don't think most people are happy it was given out. The angels available cold not differentiate if the ball hit either glove or something else, plus there was not hotspot from the other angle. I remember reading somewhere that in the DRS process, snicko is given almost absolute authority so...

    England complain

    What difference would a "technical guy" make? Do you not realise the technology is not handled by the 3rd ump, he simply uses it to review the decision. I highly doubt all of you are "technical" guys and yet everyone has come to the conclusion it was not out. So the issue isnt someone having an...

    Yeah, it was 4 in 4 to Lyon I think...but bounced out, sure guys.

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    Yes, none of that negates what I just said. He has not been a good tourist, he has shown he can bowl very well in swing conditions. Plus, add to that he is getting on, pace is right down and he can't do anything when the ball wears on. Look, this series has been good for him, his best in...

    T10 Cricket League

    I saw some games and it was actually quite fun. Obviously nothing to be taken seriously and it can't surpass T20 just yet but it is a fun way to spend a cold afternoon. I think this sort of thing should be welcomed because it draws in crowds, gets people watching and gives avenues to cricketers...

    Starc is actually a fast bowler.

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    What is the forecast like? England's only hope is surviving till the rain comes, IF it comes but even then all hope is slim.

    England complain

    I think the complaint is absolute rubbish and feeds into the world famous "whinging poms" narrative.

    *Officlal* Commentary Praise Thread

    I think Hussain, Vaughn and Atherton are good commentators. I mean, not just a group of blokes who make rubbish jokes and chat about cricket but actually commenting on the events at hand, the position of the game and so on. The BT team is pretty rubbish. Gilly comes across like a child...

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    Also, in terms of Australia, I'd like Smith to be a bit selfish and go for a triple and who knows, he might even go beyond.

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    Jimmy isnt fine. Yeah he had a good home summer but we ALL know he can swing the ball in friendly conditions. His away performances just have not been good enough. He was mediocre in SA and I'm probably being generous, abysmal in India and only did really well against the Windies. His current...

    The captaincy

    Jimmy and Broad are both nearing the ends of their careers, why would they be considered for captaincy? The same goes for Steyn. Philander does indeed have fitness problems but more due to his belly looking like a life raft. Southee is never going to be in with a shout when Kane and Taylor are...

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    I don't even see why he should be a first choice pick now. I know Jimmy and Broad have a lot of locker room clout but they need to be [phased out in the coming months.

    The captaincy

    You know I have to agree with this. Through his playing days I always heard that he was the best captain Australia never had, which was weird because he seemed to constantly be in the wrong, the banned substances the bookies etc. But I thought, ok fair enough, maybe he was a tactician...and yet...

    Authorities uncover plan to match-fix Third Ashes Test

    Agreed entirely. However, since the Ashes have been brought up in the allegations, it will likely be brushed under the rug.
