    IPL Kerala team??

    There could/should be a team based in Nagpur (Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium) and a team based in Kanpur (Green Park) and then any extra will be good. Nagpur may not happen because of Mumbai being the Maharastra team, but there should be a Uttar Pradesh team based in either Kanpur or...

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    I can't do an aesthetic all-time XI, I have about 5 players taking up the No. 3 and 4 positions! Lol. I agree with Crowe over Ponting personally. Much classier and Ponting's 1,000+ run seasons have only come since flat batsmen-friendly wickets came to the fore (2002-). Coincedence? Gower over...

    New Zealand- could they just win it?

    Ha ha.

    Swalec Stadium

    I still think he can do the biz in the limited overs forms of the game. He was hitting 93mph in the IPL. I just don't think he will be able to handle a tough 5-test series bowling 18+ overs per innings.

    Aussie Squad Form

    For the Cardiff test (don't know about thereafter) Ponting has suggested Hauritz (when he comes on) will hold up and end, getting through his overs and bowling defensively while the seamers operate at the other end.

    Swalec Stadium

    This guy presumably: Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Clint McKay 2 years time would make him 28, although there are late straters, given the fact Australia aren't blessed in the seam bowling department, I think he'd be in consideration now if he was at that level unless they're seeing if...

    Swalec Stadium

    Gillespie, although his stats aren't bad from the 2004/05 season didn't bowl well through both New Zealand series and the Pakistan series. It didn't come as any surprise to me that he was so poor in 2005 tbh. He was very good in India then it seemed as soon as he went back to Australia (only 2...

    England Squad Form

    While our batting isn't as good as Australia's, it's by no means poor. Cook seems to have at least 3/4 sorted his front-foot problem out and will be full of confidence. Pietersen saves his best for the best and averages 53.5 against the Aussies. Strauss, will hopefully come to the fore. He...

    Aussie Squad Form

    I don't think anyone needs to worry about the Aussie batsmen. They'll be just as tough as always. I fully expect Michael Hussey to regain form too The bowling is the only problem. Mitchell Johnson is the only bowler (As an England fan) I know is going to be a handful. Siddle could be great or...

    Swalec Stadium

    Well, if Clark doesn't have a successful Ashes (in terms of how he bowls, not necessarily how many wickets he gets or Avg etc), then I think CA may look elsewhere- being that he is almost 34 years old. Ditto for Brett Lee, though a bit younger. Those 2, like Jason Gillespie in 2005 are...

    Greatest individual performance ever

    I don't think any England fan, or even the coaches claim that we have an attack "for all seasons", but if you saw the series against South Africa, then you must concede Jimmy Anderson at least is a handful at home. Averages are misleading nowadays. I think the new "40" for a batsman is...

    Highest Run Scorer

    Sehwag. He had a crap IPL and will look to pwn bowling attacks from the first ball. I also think India will at least reach the semis so he should have a number of opportunities. I'd like Taylor or Ryder to do something big. Ryder especially since he got some 1st over jaffas in the IPL and was...

    Group C - Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies

    The top 2 from each of the groups go into 2 seperate groups of 4, then the top 2 of the 2 new groups play the semi finals and then India beat South Africa by 5 runs in the final. Group Standings | ICC World Twenty20 2009

    Pakistan Cricket news/views

    How would the Pakistan fans feel about having the "home" games over here (England) for the 2010 season? There would be huge support (London, Birmingham, Manchester and the Leeds/Bradford areas have big Pakistani communities) and the ball swings so not completely different to Pakistan (barring...

    Cricketing One Hit Wonders . . .

    Jason Gillespie................. the batsman. A single century to his name- 201* vs Bangladesh. -------- As for Dean Headley, I remember him making Australia look very ordinary but he's hard such ****ty luck with injuries- makes Shane Bond look lucky.

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    Completely didn't read the original post. :p I'll change it. I've seen those players, albeit footage, but seen nevertheless.

    Greatest individual performance ever

    The player who doesn't get too much credit for that match, but should, is Courtney Walsh. After a massive Aussie 1st innings total, he came back with 5/39. Completely set up the game for Lara to do the biz (without any support from his fellow batsmen). Lara always batted better when his team...

    Greatest individual performance ever

    Well he's had some massive innings. But the 375 and 400 were on complete batting paradises with very small boundaries. Don't get me wrong, only 15-20 batsmen could capitalise on the conditions like Lara did but I actually rate his 221 & 130 in the same game against Sri Lanka @ Colombo in 2001...

    Greatest individual performance ever

    Ok, well you're never going to admit you're worng in your life in that case which must be great for your girlfriend/boyfriend. You speak for everyone else now then? Jesus. Anyways "trolling" is when someone posts irrelevent and inflammatory posts- all of mine have been in regards to this...

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    1985: (started watching 1993/94 onwards)- G.Smith Tendulkar Dravid Lara S.Waugh Gilchrist Wasim Warne Waqar Ambrose McGrath How tough was the bowling selection?!?!?!?!? Donald, Walsh, Muralitharan, S.Pollock all missing out. What an era of bowling.
