    picture this....do join in plz

    Charge at him , offering the full face of the bat down the ground. As mid off and mid-on are up , they will have no chance if you hit it cleanly

    New Cricinfo Format

    Don't know about a backward step but that about the format before being more user friendly is quite true if you ask me. However, i have no problem with it. Now they have put batting apart from bowling which i feel i an improvement from before

    Take a shot...anyone's shot!

    Yes, that drive off the back foot is quite special

    Take a shot...anyone's shot!

    Can i have 2. One would have to be Afridi's humongous pull/drive/slog [its up to you] over mid-on. Any ball, any length, as long as he gets bat on it in that direction, no chance for long on. another shot that appeals to me is Vikram Solanki's straight drive. I know it is very rare to see as...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    i am sure he will be the first person to admit that but in the last series, he seemed to be developing a new trick or two. I see Collingwood as a grafter who makes so much of the limited talents he has [fielding not inclusive] and does just about a good enough job for England to stay in the ODI...

    batsmen in modern times (since helmets) who never worn helmets??

    The first delivery i ever faced from a hard cricket ball in a cricket match, hit me on the head. [and, i was wearing a helmet]. Since then, i have made a little pact with my head to always wear a helmet evn if i am facing ESO [extra slow offspin, like some of the balls Vaughan bowled to Pollock...

    batsmen in modern times (since helmets) who never worn helmets??

    I don't see the point of wearing a helmet withou a grill, you might as well not wear one

    batsmen in modern times (since helmets) who never worn helmets??

    Jimmy Adams and Graeme Gooch in most of the highlights that i see of them are wearing helmets without a grill. i also remember that David Hookes wore one of them as well [first match back after getting one in the face from W Indian Roberts, huuhh some guy.]

    *Official* - ICC Inter-Contential Cup 2005

    My beloved Uganda seem to be going down, top effort though bowling out Kenya for 116 in their 2nd innings. Chaminda_00, Junior Kwebiha is the name you were looking for. He is the teams main allrounder and also plays for the Ugandan basketball team. [not relevant to topic but oh well, thoght i...

    MCC raise concerns about McGrath's studs

    hahahahahahahahahaha, LOL, after the nonsense of Ponting's bat, my rating of the MCC has gone straight through the floor.

    What would you perfer bowling or batting?

    Every time i try to anticipate and move just before the ball is being hit, the batsman seems to miscue the ball thus, i run in the wrong direction. I tend to wait and then judge what to do after the ball has been hit. i can't seem to grasp the concept of fielding at 2nd or 3rd slip. The ball...

    MCC raise concerns about McGrath's studs

    It's truly embarrasing from an English perspective, Absolute hogwash. Next thing they might be complaing about is Gilchrist's brutal run rate is outside the spirit in which Test cricket should be played. I have not been so dissapointed by English tripe since Anderson's appearance in the saffie...
