    Your replacement for Andrew Symonds - Tests

    So if, and I guess likely, Andrew Symonds does not go on tour to India, who would you pick to replace him in the Test team? Do we look at another all-rounder, or we go back to Hodge or Katich can keep his spot? Or how about some player to get picked out of no where?

    Ratings and rankings - how important are they?

    Vote in the poll. We forever see threads on how people rank players and the player ratings in telling us how good a player or team is. Do they mean a lot for you or not at all, basing on what you watch on TV and leave stats out the window or is it a bit of both? Earlier in the year South...

    Olympic cycling thread

    Trust me to start this one up :ph34r: For the men's RR I think the Spanish on paper are almost unbeatable with all of them potential winners, but that can also cause problems as well if more then one of them on their day is going strong and Paolo Bettini is also a big favourite. He is a big...

    Defining a a true great in Test cricket

    How do you do it in defining as somebody as a true great of cricket (ie Shane Warne, SRT, Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards, Sir Garry Sobers etc.)? And in the real game of cricket, Tests. And I will give credit to SJS for giving me this idea in the Virender Sehwag thread. For me as a general...

    Olympic football thread

    Or do you not care? Post tips in here (or not :p) on who you might think will win. Brazil have Ronaldinho in their ranks after AC Milan released him to go to Beijing, while the other Brazilian Diego of German club Werder Breman has given them the two fingered salute. The stupid thing is, why...

    No post count?

    Noticed when I see Gelman post, his post count has gone from public view. Now is this a special feature for mods with special powers, either paid a few bribe dollars to James or is this a new option?

    Why was Andy Caddick a rubbish 1st innings bowler?

    'Ave a look at his and then go down and see his averages in the 3rd and 4th innings he was at his most succesful, but in the 1st and 2nd innings he bowled, he averages 40.71 and 33.23, granted he took more of his wickets in the 1st and 2nd innings of a Test match. Anybody hazad a guess wha was...

    Most popular cricketer from each country?

    As it stands Zimbabwe count (officially anyway, no matter what you or I think) and so do Bangladesh. I think of them all, but the sort of people I'm looking at is: Australia - Brett Lee Etc. Throw in some of the non Test playing teams if you want.

    Is Luke Ronchi potentially the next Adam Gilchrist?

    Seeing how he played last night, there was a lot of similarity's to how Adam Gilchrist used to play in ODIS, so the question is do you think he will be Australia's successor to Adam Gilchrist or will he and Brad Haddin spent a lot their careers fighting it out for Australia's wicket keeping...

    Is ODI status been given out too easily?

    Take into account this match as one example. I don't have a problem with such games or the Asia Cup which has featured the UAE and Hong Kong being played, but really must they be given ODI status, when it proves nothing except players go out and boost their career averages and the minnow cops a...

    Greatest Australian player since 1989

    Vote away in the poll (TBF this will take a wee while when I click "submit" so apologies in advance). Players like Mark Taylor, Allan Border, Steve Waugh will still be picked since the likes of Waugh and Taylor played the majority of their Tests and had the most amount of success since then...

    SA board chief loses selection veto

    Full story here Surprised it hadn't been mentioned but here you go. Goughy (and Hingston) probably know more then what I do so I'll let them in to give their views. Or anybody else is quite welcome :p

    Mike Hussey - Is he now human?

    :-O I think so. Since his century against India in that Test in Sydney, he has made only one score of 50 and that was in the 1st Test in kingston v the West Indies. He has made plenty of starts, but nothing more (although you could say in his innings of 46 he got a bad call). So is the...

    What on earth is wrong with James Anderson?

    Well for all of the fast bowling experts, what is it, because I sure as hell don't know, other suggesting it is a confidence thing. You see the deliveries that got out Aaron Redmond and Brendon McCullum, where the sort of fast bowlers would dream about, just like a batsman playing a crisp cover...

    Lets end it: Sydney Barnes

    A look at his record is superb, but then conditions where sooooooooooooo much different to what they are now. Some on here have claimed him to be best or one of the best bowlers ever. So let's settle it for once and for all, is he the best bowler ever or indeed top 5 or 10? Or a very lucky...

    Greatest wicket keeper ever?

    I can't recall this being done, but then again my brain has been playing games with me. So who is he? Batting not included. If it has been done, well I give up.
