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

    Currently he is not obliged to stop bowling it. I think the grace period ends after their current tour, so he can't be banned for bowling it at the moment. But I agree whole-heartedly that he is basically sticking two fingers up at the rest of the world by continuing to use it even after the...

    Sri Lanka losing face

    It's all a racist plot hatched by the white-supremicist ICC to stop the brown Murali from beating The Pure Warne to the Test wickets record currently held by.......umm........the black Walsh, who.........err............well..........took the record from the..........the..........brown...

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Err, I hate to butt in, but I have to say that the quick bowling these days is very ordinary indeed. The 'list' you produce up top pretty much proves it, as you've selected 3 bowlers who've retired, one who hasn't played in about a year, two spinners and a greasy show-pony who can only play a...

    the Biggest matchwinners of today

    Personally, I can't think of anyone who started brilliantly and then progressed to being crap. Kambli may have been one, but he was never really crap - he was discarded by India for disciplinary reasons. His form at the time wasn't the best, but it was for such a short time that it couldn't...

    Mike Proctor

    Do you really think so? I have thought about this a lot in my life. It's one of my biggest regrets that we never got to see the SA team of the 1970s and 80s take on the rest of the cricketing world. Had we, I don't think anyone would be talking about the current Aussies being the best ever...

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    No-one is saying that Tendulkar is a bad player, we're just saying that we don't think he's as magnificent as some people say he his and that we don't think he's the best around. He's still a great player though.

    the Biggest matchwinners of today

    I find it strange that people play down Smith's achievements by saying that he has 'only played a little.' Don't most people start slow and get better instead of starting great and slowing down? Surely the prediction for Smith should be that he improves with time? No?

    BEst fast Bowler of 90's?

    Having said that, McGrath was in fact ranked 6th, followed by Lillee, Marshall, Imran Khan and Walsh. Well I never. Not sure I agree with that, but there you go.

    BEst fast Bowler of 90's?

    McGrath the best ever? That's a little over the top, don't you think? For what it's worth, Wisden did a statistical analysis of the best bowlers in the history of the game and Chuck came first, followed by Hadlee, Barnes, Warne and Grimmett. I don't know where McGrath came, but I'd be surprised...

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    To continue though: ENG v IND 2002, 3rd Test Match Tendulkar 193 Ganguly 128 Dravid 148 SA v IND 2001, 1st Test Tendulkar 155 Sehwag 105 ENG v IND 1990, 2nd Test Tendulkar 119* (Alone here too)

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    How has he been a one man team? I think you do a great disservice to the likes of Shastri, Azharruddin, Kambli, Sidhu, Manjrekar, Ganguly, Dravid, Laxman, Harbhajan, Kapil Dev, Kumble, Srinath, Raju, Prabhakar, Prasad, Mongia and More when you say that. Like I said earlier, I don't buy the...

    lara vs tendulkar

    So, in other words, he makes himself look better than he is because he's so good? ??????

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Just to illustrate my point, I am currently randomly going through his list of centuries again on the channel4 website and clicking on them to see if any other Indian scored one too. This is a live experiment by the way - I did not do this earlier in the day, I'm doing it right now, BEFORE YOUR...

    So Graeme Smith heads the table in terms of conversion rate? Very good. I think he'll have a storied career. He better bloody had anyway.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Looks like your stats show that Dravid is the one who India rely on most. I once did a little research into Tendulkar's centuries and found that the majority of his hundreds were scored when another Indian batsman had also scored a century. In other words, when the going's good, Tendulkar's...

    Australian ODI batsmen (past & present)

    Sorry, it appears that I have been misunderstood. I was being sarcastic. I think Ian Harvey is the worst international player currently playing (with the exception of any Bangladeshis or Zimbabweans) and cannot believe that a country of the strength of Australia would keep picking him as they...

    Ponting Queries Murali test

    I know. That's why I asked. Tim Saunders is English but lives in New Zealand. Are you sure you're not him? Think carefully.

    Positive reaction to Twenty20/Pro20 style Cricket in South Africa.

    I suppose it did go some way to making up for his three first ball ducks.
