    To be a successful fast bowler in Australia

    With regards to FaaipDeOiad's (Fuller) post, if you are a fast bowler at Test level (and not Australian), what do you need to be successful, especially when you get away from wickets like the Test in Brisbane between Australia and New Zealand, and more on a wicket like Adelaide where it is a...

    Michael Hussey v Shivnarine Chanderpaul

    Who do you rate as better or even the most valuable to their respective teams? Not downplaying Hussey at all, I think he is awesome and an absolute machine, but I am going to go for Chanderpaul in terms of valuableness (is that a word?), because if you took him out of the West Indian line-up...

    On Mathew Sinclair

    Scoring runs for fun in New Zealand Domestic cricket (averaging over 118 ATM :mellow: ) but when he is in the Test team he either can't buy a run or is shifted around the order or he makes one low score and is out of the team. I've always held hopes for him to do well as a Test player, but I'm...

    Gillespie - Test cricket is on it's last legs

    Jason Gillespie's rant We have heard it all before, but I am going to remain postive that Test cricket has a future. If I were to be pessimistic about it, I would give up on cricket.

    Steve Waugh v Shane Warne

    Captaincy of course :p Who was the better captain and would Shane Warne have been better captain then Steve Waugh was in Tests? It is no secret, that Warne had plenty of grey matter when it came to captaining a team and was one of the best cricketers not to be captain Australia (old editions...

    Are Test captains becoming too defensive and too early?

    Yes IMO. As I type, I'm watching the Australia New Zealand Test match and despite having a 265 run lead on New Zealand, Ricky Ponting started to put guys at deep point and and deep backward square in the 3rd over after a bright start by New Zealand (Jamie How hit Stuart Clark through backward...

    What makes my cricketing day

    Credit goes to this thread. Made: Watching the ICL game between Delhi and Hydrabad and Marvan Atapattu trying to reverse sweep Nicky Boje and got bowled. How I love it when a batsman tries to play a reverse sweep and gets out. Play a proper shot ****. (BTW who was the bird who interviewed...

    Should Matthew Hayden retire?

    I know he wants to go onto the 2009 Ashes, and cue him to fill his boots at the Adelaide Test against New Zealand, but should he quit while he is ahead and go out on his own terms then what is considered a form slump by his and anybodies standards and the list of people calling for his head get...

    Would Andrew Symonds have made a difference in India?

    Vote away. Obviously we won't know for sure, considering, one decent knock for Queensland aside, would he have fired with the backing of the captain, coach, selectors, and board behind him no matter what his form was like or, or it wouldn't have mattered India would have won anyway? Sorry...

    What do you think of Virender Sehwag?

    As the title says and how highly do you rate him? When he gets going he is one of the most exciting batsmen to watch and no bowler is safe. However, whilst I'm not knocking his natural game, I do think he does go over board with the attacking batting, and get to a five cent shot whilst looking...

    Do you rate Mitchell Johnson?

    Yeah I do. His rise to the Australian team has been quite remarkable considering in the last 3 or 4 years it was all promise, but nothing delievered because of his constant back injuries. His selection early on for the ODI team was a pick of potential, but I was not surprisied as I had seen his...

    Who was the best batsman to watch?

    Out of VVS Laxman, Mark Waugh and Damien Martyn, as they were in my time of watching cricket, some of the most elegant batsmen and a joy to watch (that and it is my thread so I will make it about anything I like :ph34r: ). This is not about how good they are, so stats do not count, nor does...

    Brett Lee's final Test wicket tally

    Given that he is on 291 Test wickets, he is, unless struck by lightening or goes to turn his car on and it explodes for no apparent reason (:unsure: ), he will get 300 Test wickets this summer, so have a punt at how many wickets he will end up with. Given that he is 31, and has played only 69...

    All-time football misses

    SLC look for BCCI help

    Here you go. I guess there will be a backflip on Sri Lakan ICL players then?

    Dean Headley

    How good was he? Looking at his record I realise his career was ruined by injury and when his Test career came and went I was just getting more and more into cricket so I never really got to see him play a whole lot. And IIRC we did not have much (if any at all) coverage of the Ashes Tests, and...

    A potential cause of concern?

    New AFL club on Gold Coast lures cricketer Who can blame him. He has more chances of making it and earning a fair coin whilst playing AFL, then as a cricketer, as it takes so much just to get a FC game and to keep at it, to become a regular and that is before the prospects of playing Test and...
