    Top of the Table Ashes Clash

    Can't see us (England) doing that. Though if we're going to topple Australia in the Fletcher years I guess it's gotta really be now. If we do somehow manage it, and go top of the rankings, surely Fletcher would step down... I mean the only way to go after that would be down... beginning with...

    Things we won't see again

    - Jason Gillespie improving on his highest test score - Michael Vaughan captaining England (!) - Test match cricket on the BBC (thank god!) - Test match cricket on Channel 4 (sadly) - Andy Caddick taking a test wicket - Zimbabwe beating anyone other than Bangladesh in a test match - An empty...

    Worst Decisions by an Umpire...

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but anyone remember Ntini being given out LBW to win a test for England vs SA in August 1998? I think it was at Trent Bridge? The ball was going so far down the leg side that the cameraman had to swing his camera round to keep the ball in the frame! I was...

    WHOs better Sir Bradman or Steve Tikolo?

    No Bradman would pull more girls than Tikolo. I mean what sounds better.... "Hey there cutie, I'm the most famous aussie sportsman ever...." or "Hello. I've got an average of nearly 48 in the ICC Trophy, in my last game in the competition I scored 147 at nearly a run a ball...." Hehe no...

    Chris Read - I'm Not Convinced

    For me Read had a poor game in the first ODI, and hasn't looked settled since he got back in the team. He seems to be scared of going for things in case he drops them, the Sky commentators picked this out well during the game. And as for those byes he let go in the first over, Jones would have...

    *Official* CW English Meet-Up

    Hey guys, what's the latest with the meetup? I enjoyed the last one, would certainly try and make it down to London. Or Grace Road even, though that's an awful long way for those of you from Somerset. Oli

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    For me two people are to blame. Hair was well within his right to give the 5 penalty runs, but he needed to come up with some concrete evidence. Which sadly he doesn't seem to be able to. So he initially is at fault.. However two wrongs don't make a right and Inzamam should have known the rules...

    Hehe brilliant!

    Test Players Having To Be Good At Two Disaplines

    So what's everyone think of this conspiracy theory where Panesar is being made out to be hopeless with the bat, just so Giles can come back into the side easily. Panesar is no mug with the bat. Okay Giles may be worth 10 or 15 runs more a match, but Panesar is worth 2 or 3 wickets a match more...

    How good was W.G. Grace?

    Yeah I admit I haven't read a lot on Grace, but based on stats alone his performances in tests isn't spectacular. 22 games, 2 hundreds, average of 32. I guess those figures don't mean much in today's world though. He did play a lot of games, and scored 54,000+ FC runs in 800+ games. But...

    Englan's Ashes touring party

    Choprav has lots of potential, can't see him being picked for a year or two yet though. Though having said that Theo Walcott got into England's Soccer World Cup squad.

    Has anyone actually got tickets yet?!?!

    I managed to get tickets for quite a few days, for all but the 3rd test (which knowing my luck will be the one where Australia take back the Ashes). Definitely interested in meeting up with any English CW.net fans who are also going. My only issue is that I selected to collect the tickets from...

    Possible Ashes stating line-ups & England possible touring squad

    My 1st test squad (with Strauss named captain for good). The batting goes on and on, the bowling should be fine as long as they stay fit! Trescothick Strauss (c) Cook Collingwood Pietersen Bell Flintoff Read Harmison Hoggard Panesar Vaughan to be pensioned off, S.Jones to replace either Bell...

    Klusener.

    Such a pity as the guy oozes talent, his performances in the 99 world cup were astonishing. I saw his 72* in the 20/20 quarters this year, he can still hit a ball!

    How good was W.G. Grace?

    Certainly a great cricketer. But I've read stories of him being given out and not walking, being very un-sportsman like and arrogant believing that people were only there to watch him, and other incidents that suggest his large amount of runs were as much down to his status than his actual...

    Langeveldt's Cricket Photos and Requests

    Great pics Langeveldt, they're tempting me to get a camera like that myself! Can I ask which model of camera you use? What's a rough price for something that can take shots like that?

    *Official* CW English Meet-Up

    Yup was a pleasant suprise! Was expecting something very different.... We all passed as normal I reckon. Though why oh why didn't I put that stupid plastic bag down for the pic :)

    *Official* CW English Meet-Up

    Hehe yeah sorry it's not the best one I've ever taken! I took a better one of you with the other guys camera ;) Have to say though Richard's group pic is excellent, hopefully the one with us all in is as good.
