    Suppose the final is rained out...

    What would happen? So far we've seen a few games effected by the weather and it raises the point, what would happen in the case of the final ending in a No Result? I would have to assume it would be possibly which team has won the most games (in which case England would beat Pakistan and...

    Captaincy; how important is it?

    I was browsing Wikipedia and I happened to notice, Australia have had 5 test cricket captains in the last 25 years (one of them being Gilchrist who doesn't really count, so only 4 really). There are many teams (eg. England, Pakistan) who have shuffled through this many leaders in the past 5...

    Reasons why test cricket > Twenty20

    Recently I've had a couple of discussions with friends about the Pros/cons of T20 cricket and how it compares to test cricket. The most common argument I hear in favour of T20 is that "it is exciting to watch" due to the amount of boundaries hit. So basically, I would be interested to compile...

    Interesting hypothetical rule question...

    I was discussing this with my friend earlier, we are not exactly sure what would happen. Suppose the scores are level so the batting side needs 1 run to win. They have lost 9 wickets, so if the fielding side takes one more wicket the match will be a tie. The bowler bowls a wide, but the...

    Australian cricketers getting 200's (and big scores in general)

    After hearing of Jayawardene's innings of 275, I have been thinking... Is it just me, or do Australian cricketers not get really big scores anymore? Obviously most of the big scores some from India, Sri Lanka and West Indies (playing on flat pitches), but that doesn't explain it... Collingwood...

    If you could rewrite one event in cricket history...

    What would it be? Personally I can't think of anything terribly exciting, however Bradman scoring another 7 runs in his final test would have been nice. And Warner scoring 100 in his first T20i :laugh: I'd be interested to see what you guys would change.

    Absolutely ridiculous/odd cricket scorecards

    Title kinda sums it up. What are some matches where score-wise some absolutely ridiculous things happen? Here are a couple I have some across; Leicestershire vs Essex, 2006 Leicestershire v Essex at Leicester, Sep 20-23, 2006 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com Basically seems to start off...

    What happened to cricket in America?

    This has been plaguing me for quite some time. Over a hundred years ago, cricket was big in America. If I recall correctly, the first ever FC match was between the USA and Canada. Philadelphia had a great team (who beat Australia on occasions) and all was well. Fast forward a century and it...

    Should umpires have the right to give batsman out for unreasonable conduct?

    I was discussing this with a friend today and was wondering what you guys reckoned. In cricket there are 10 ways to get out (obviously I won't list them because you guys already know). In soccer, rugby and so many other sports the referee/umpire has the power to evict a player from the field...

    Night cricket?

    Anyone here enjoy a bit of backyard/frontyard/street cricket at night time? I'll tell you my little story. Last night I had a friend stay over. Shortly after midnight we decided we felt like a game of cricket. We didn't really want to go anywhere too far so we looked for a nice spot in my...

    Most dominant sports-people of all time?

    Obviously this is a very general question, but who is THE most dominant sportsman/sportswoman/athlete at their sport of all time? There are many different sports so it's near impossible to single out one person who is better than everyone else overall, but we can surely name a few. Don Bradman...

    Enough of this 'Australia aren't good anymore' nonsense!

    Ok, note that this rant is not so much directed at the members of this forum, but more-so the newspapers I have been reading. Yes, we played quite badly against South Africa. Yes, we lost a home series for the first time in 16 years. Yes, we may not be the best team in the world anymore. But...

    Too old to start playing competitive cricket?

    Hey guys, I'm new here :) I am 17 and really keen on getting into competitive cricket. A lot of you might think 17 is not too old, but I am not sure. Obviously I am never going to play for Australia or even my state, but it would be awesome to get into some grade cricket. I have some friends...
