    Target 400

    What was? The captain against Zim or the one who made the statements? You're right, Waugh was the captain then. My apologies. Anyway, Ponting said that what Lara did would not have happened in Austrlian cricket, only then to add that the declaration against Zim was delayed in order to give...

    Sri Lanka losing face

    No they don't, not always. They should, but they don't. They test a bowlers action and then suggest ways in which the rules can be altered in order to accommodate them. Shoaib chucks? Let's ask for hyper-extension to be dealt with in the laws and implement flexing thresholds from now on. Murali...

    Target 400

    It would go nicely with his public display of double standards when he said that he wouldn't have allowed Lara to continue batting just for the sake of breaking the record after delaying his declaration against Zim in order to allow Hayden the chance to break the record and possibly go past 400.

    Sri Lanka losing face

    Yes, the same as when we listen to biomechanists preach about how cricket should be played. The circumstances surround the testing are so dubious I cannot bring myself to acknowledge them.

    Target 400

    Graeme Smith and Ricky Ponting probably have the best chance to do it, as they both have the ability to concentrate for long periods, score at a quick rate and are the captains of their respective teams. Hayden must also be a good bet. Of the others, Gibbs could do it if he gets lucky, but more...

    BEst fast Bowler of 90's?

    I don't know. Cricket Peace by appeasing some Lankans who have a reputation for getting minstrel when things don't go their own way? Why don't we ask Bruce Yardley? I don't understand the second sentence of your post.

    BEst fast Bowler of 90's?

    That's not strictly true. They believe he chucks it, but they just want to change the rules (again) to allow him to continue doing so.

    Sri Lanka losing face

    No, they are fully qualified in cricket. Good response though: "You're just jealous." I mean, what can I say to answer that? I must concede defeat. You've proved your point. All that biomechanics has done in these instances is find ways to allow cheats to continue playing.

    Shoaib's injury revealed

    Apparently a Pakistan medical team has announced that Shoaib was unable to bowl in India's second innings during the final Test due to a rib injury. It is at this point that I have to say, "Umm, what?" Where did this rib injury come from then? Before all this we were told that he had injured...

    Best Test Team Ever?

    The SA team of the late 70s early 80s would've been even better: Barry Richards Jimmy Cook Peter Kirsten Graeme Pollock Kenny McEwan Clive Rice Mike Proctor Ray Jennings Garth le Roux Denys Hobson Vince van der Bijl

    Sri Lanka losing face

    There must be some truth to the allegations? Then why did the Lankan Board deny even making them to begin with? "Big deal if Murali bends his arm by 10 degrees"? I'm sorry, but it IS actually a big deal. It's illegal to do so, plain and simple, so why should he be allowed to continue doing it...

    Murali's reputation in tatters? Check this out.

    Who tested Jermaine Lawson recently? Why were no rule changes recommended after his tests? Why, when the University of WA tested Shabbir, did they not recommend that the tolerance level be set at 15 degrees for all bowlers? Why is it that these 'recommendations' are only made when Murali and...

    Nice to see Murali is STILL bowling the doosra. In fact, he's just claimed a wicket with it. If he's hoping to win sympathisers by blatantly cheating like this, it's obviously more than just his arm that's deformed.

    Lara Disappionted over pontings comment

    What did he do?

    Murali cleared!!! .... or not...?

    Speaking of hair, Jason Gillespie should go before the ICC's technical committee for an emergency remodelling of his mullet. A 12 month probationary period should follow, during which time any other style 'faux pas' on his part would result in an immediate ban from international cricket.

    How long does Langeveldt have to make his selection before I am allowed to replace him as Convenor of the Selectors? :)

    Shaun Pollock probably would've. He was as rubbish as I am fluffy.

    cricket bat care

    In SA we have machines to knock the bats in. We're very 'state-of-the-art' we are.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Either that or he only scores them against the weakest of opposition, making it more than likely that India would've won anyway. Oooohh, contentious!!!

    Lara Disappionted over pontings comment

    I read an article a while back about an experiment that was done at an Australian university. Groups of respondents were read criticisms of Australia, Autralians and Australian society, but one half were told that the comments were made by an Australian while the other half had the comments...
