    Ethics dilemma: forehead sweat as a ball shiner?

    Context: I've been doing some solo tweaking in the nets to prepare for an actual game of cricket for the first time in a good half decade. Problem/advantage: It turns out that after a good 20 straight overs, I start perspiring like a blind lesbian in a fish market. I hate to see a good bodily...

    The soccer - er, football - noob question thread

    I'll be brief. I only watch international friendlies, Euro 20xx, and World Cups. EPL if my sleepers haven't kicked in. I have a question (which, incidentally, inspired this thread): If a tackle hits the ball before it hits the player being tackled, is it potentially a foul even if the tacklee...

    Edit notice time limit - request to extend beyond one minute

    As a serial post-posting editor, I would like to register a friendly suggestion that the time limit is a bit short for the likes of me and my brothers in perfectionism. Looks a bit suss, like I've changed the context or edited out something in an argument so that my debating partner looks like...

    Thread deletion - unprecedented?

    In light of recent events, I feel compelled to register my dissent. This pertains to the 'sperm killers' thread. It was locked, then deleted. I'm not sure this has happened before, but then again I'm a fairly sporadic poster on these forums. So what gives? Are some threads so utterly obscene...

    Series We'd Like to See

    There's been reams of speculation on 'what could've been' between the Windies of the 80's and Australia of 2000s, or the Invincibles of '48 and Australia of 2000s, or Bodyline England and Australia of 2000s. Noting a pattern here? :p Personally, I think there's a few undone scenarios here...

    Filter 'Dire'

    Let's face it, it's: 1. The most abjectly unfunny cliche being pegged around CW. 2. Responsible for the most one word, decidedly unconstructive posts since AWTA. 3. Can be made redundant with one fell swoop. What say you, powers that be?

    Caption this: Dravid and Mongia

    On the brink of defeat to the young buck, Dravid summoned his inner reserves of strength and alacrity from his armpit hairs. Latest reports indicate Mongia will be out of hospital in a matter of months.

    20,000 Threads?

    Surprised it hasn't been brought up earlier (apologies if this has been done) but I couldn't help but notice the thread IDs creeping past the big 20,000. IIRC the Paul Hunter memorial thread was the 20,000th. Anyhow, well done everyone. Top effort.

    Horses for courses

    Many on this forum believe that the best bowling attack should play every Test match, regardless of conditions. To a degree this has been followed around the world, but numerous teams (prominently Australia and Sri Lanka) select a different bowling attack for decks of different natures, e.g...

    Now that's commitment

    http://wwwc1.cricinfo.com/ausveng/content/story/261266.html Huge sacrifice, and one that sums up the commitment of an international cricketer. Given his position, though, what would you do?

    Best Runs of Form

    For a while, it seems that some players are Superman. But who? For mine (in no particular order): Shane Warne (1993-1997 and 2004-2006) Viv Richards (1978-1984) Waqar Younis (1990-1996) Ricky Ponting (2003-?) Imran Khan (1985-1991) Brian Lara (1992-1994) Steve Waugh (1994-1998) Mike Hussey...

    CW RetireWatch

    You've just entered the arena where the CW community punts on the next ex-Test cricketers. Whoooo's it gonna be?

    Penetration in bowlers

    With the recent rich vein of shirtfronts infecting our centre squares, penetration - likelihood of taking a wicket - has become a dying art among bowlers of both persuasions. Who's the worst offenders in this category? For mine: Brett Dorey Brad Williams AA Ashley Giles Kabir Ali Liam Plunkett...

    Rush Hour

    Generally, what time af the day does CW experience the highest traffic? This for the proper timing of Battle threads. Thanks in advance.
