    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    Well said.

    "You Can't Teach Judgment"

    I will have to agree to disagree. I have seen plenty of kids with natural athletic abilities, good co-ordination and balance but cant get past the fear of being hit by the ball. They mostly go on to be successful at a different sport. That is not to say they are more plentiful than the kids who...

    **Random cricket comments/thoughts**

    Random Thought I was thinking about this the other day and havent been able to find out what the rules are. In an ODI what would happen if both captains decided they wanted to take their respective powerplays in the last 5 overs. When the game gets down to the last 10 overs and no-one has...

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    Another thing that hasnt been mentioned is the fact that all these international players have sponsors. I certainly wouldnt want to see a player I had sponsored displaying that kind of behavior on live tv or anywhere else for that matter. So Affridi has embarrassed himself, his team, his...

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    Presumption of innocence is the right of everyone. You cant say someone is guilty because you suspect they may have done something, that would pave the way to all sorts of baseless accussasions being levelled at people who have done nothing wrong. You must have proof, but once you have that...

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    So those of you who support ball tampering are saying we should be able to pick and chose which rules we follow and which ones we break. There is a reason we have rules and if you think a particular rule is inappropriate there are ways of having that rule changed but you need to go through the...

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    What a load of crap, He is a repeat offender. You cant be a little bit dishonest, you are either honest or dishonest and he has proven himself to be the latter and in my opinion should be treated as such. It doesnt matter what he says in way of justifying his actions because people who cheat...

    "You Can't Teach Judgment"

    I coach a junior team and I try to impress upon them the importance of practicing not playing a shot but it isnt something that comes naturally to most. Patience and shot selection can be taught to a student who is willing to learn but courage and eye hand co-ordination cant be taught no matter...

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    I am very proudly Australian, I am a big fan of Ricky Ponting but if I saw him biting at the cricket ball I would want him banned for life. There is no place in our game for blatantly dishonest people. Someone who is dishonest enough to cheat is certainly capable of other acts of dishonesty. I...

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    If every bowler had their own ball and say you had 7 guys in the team who bowl and they bowl 5 overs each thats 35 overs gone and you are not even close to seeing off the new ball. That would tip the scales too far in the other direction and make batting so difficult that the game would lose any...

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    Dont forget the sandpaper cause you only want to lacquer one side. So it would be alright then if I pull a couple of pickets off the fence and nail them to my bat to make it wider I think ball tamperers are cheats and should be banned for life.
