    England 17-man squad

    So, England are naming a 17-man squad at the weekend. And then there is going to be a warm up as if we're on tour, a three day match against Warwickshire before the first test. I don't remember something like this ever happening before. What do people think of it as an idea?

    Women's Twenty20 World Cup

    Fixtures Starts a week after the men, and finishes with semi's and final as the 'warm-up' games for the men's equivalent matches. I reckon England are in with a good chance, but we'll see how they go for coping with the pressure of being favourites and also at home. I reckon whoever wins will...

    Aussies get relationship counselling

    Apparently an important part of the Aussie's Ashes defence boot-camp is to make their players have relationship counselling with their wives/girlfriends. Warney would have loved that. :laugh:

    At what age do quick bowlers tend to decline?

    Something I've been wondering recently, and also coming out of some other discussions on here: The success of McGrath at age 35/36 - has it shown that nowadays fast bowlers are fitter and start to decline later, or was McGrath a freak of nature? Edit: I am talking about a rule of thumb here, I...

    U19 world cup 2000

    After all the conversations about lots of great players either retiring or about to retire, I was thinking about who the players who will take over from them will be - both in terms of records and fan-base. To cut a long story short, this took me to looking at the U19 world cup in 2000...

    Vaughan vs Atherton, batting as captain.

    Was just wondering about the batting of these two, and whether at the end of their careers Vaughan would be considered the better batsman or not. (Personally I'm of the view not). Anyhow... in my looking I was quite surprised to find the following stats of their batting as captain: Vaughan: 50...

    Which fruit is Shane Watson most like?

    With the number of polls and threads where Shane Watson is discussed, I have noticed that there is a very important detail that never gets mentioned. I would like people's opinion on this.

    Nicky Boje

    I'm kind of confused... I thought he couldn't tour India for South Africa because he didn't want to risk being arrested because he would have to talk to the police about match fixing. Does anyone know if that's been cleared now, or is he just going to risk it?

    Vaughan: Fredalo ruined the world cup

    I don't know why, but Vaughan has given another interview about how the 'Fredalo' incident ruined the world cup. http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/296939.html What's the point in him giving these interviews? Surely it's better to put it in the past now and look forwards.
