    Why is Ricky Ponting Harbhajan's bunny?

    For the much maligned Harbhajan Singh and what he apparently said to Andrew Symonds, but he has picked up Ricky Ponting eight times, more then any other batsman. And yet Harbhajan has been described as average and over-rated, but it is odd that he has a batsman of Ponting's record as his bitch...

    Reduce The Length of ODI games?

    Well Ravi Shastri thinks that well be the case. I know people like SS, archie mac, and Mat79 are like 'whatever' and couldn't care less, but personally I like 50 over cricket so it shpould stay that way. Actually can a mod change the title to 'Reduce the legnth of ODI games?' thanks.

    If you could play at four grounds only?

    The cricket genie has come true and your an international cricketer, but the catch is you can only get four grounds to play at, they can't be more then one in said country you picked (for example you could play at the MCG, but not the SCG). For me: Australia: The 'Gabba, well it is my nearest...

    Andrew Symonds as a Test cricketer?

    He came through today when Australia were under pressure but he shouldn't of got that far had Bucknor gave him out caught behind. But that is history and he got the runs, he scored two unbeaten fifties against Sri Lanka but in the context of it Australia did have a big total up and then there...

    Supporting other countries

    What don't you support your real country then. Hell I can probably claim to be more Australian then you, and I'm not even a citizen. At least I've lived here for 9 years.

    Your 2008 predictions?

    Ok put your money where mouth is and make your predictions for this year, they can be for Tests, ODIs, T20, or will a certain left arm spinner from Melbourne (vic orthdox for the ignorant) make his FC debut for Victoria after a freak accident that took out all of the competition ahead of him...

    Enforcing the follow-on

    I don't think this has been done before. So I'll give you all your fantasy (not the :naughty: one) that your the captain of your country in a Test. You win the toss and bat and make a big total (insert your own amount) and bowl your opposition before they can met the follow-on target, and you...

    Free-hits in Tests?

    Michael Slater brought it up today in the post tea session when Brett Lee bowled a no-ball and he mentioned it along the lines of how there is a free-hit for no balls in ODIs and T20 and maybe it should be considered. Bill Lawry disagreed and said maybe something like four runs for a no-ball to...

    Glenn Turner v Martin Crowe

    Who would go down as the best New Zealand batsmen? Crowe's career was robbed by injury, and what he achieved was fantastic and Turner's place in the game can't be knocked either. Often he fell out with NZC with money (IIRC) but he is part of the famous club that on the tour of England in the...

    Batting first or bowling first in ODIs?

    Interesting points being made by TheLad and Banhz in the New Zealand in Australia thread, so what is your option of choice if you win the toss? It is better to bowl first if you don't have a strong bowling line-up but are better chases as you have hitters or you just bator bowl first regardless...

    Club World Cup

    Anybody following this or even cares? Had to laugh at NZ side Waitakere United being there, would of been funny had they made it all the way and had to have played AC Milan. When you consider they would have jobs and all that, it would be like one of the lower conference teams in England going a...

    Ashes series may go for six

    Ashes series may go for six Would be good,the 2005 Ashes might have been even more of a clifhanger, England were saved by top class knock by KP (even if Shane Warne did offer a helping hand) and Ashley Giles chipped in as well. Would England have been able to have kept it up for one more Test...

    Why not use TV technology more?

    Well why not? We have a 3rd umpire that gets used for borderline run-outs, stumpings and close catches whether the fielder has caught the ball above the ground, well why not have it if there is a borderline descision like a batsman is ruled to have edged (or not) the ball and is caught (like...

    Which team will chase down 500 in Tests?

    I can see somebody like India doing it or maybe South Africa if the whole team fire and Amla can cash in and show he isn't New Zealand Test bowling attack-basher. I will go for India tbh. I won't go for Australia as it is unlikely they would be set such a target, but it could happen tbh with the...

    Do you share your birthday with a Test cricketer?

    Well we can include ODIs as well. Mine June 11 coincides with Mark Richardson and Daryl Tuffey and former WI all-rounder Collis King (IIRC) but tragically it is the day that Trevor Madondo diednearly 6 and a half years ago.

    The current state of cricket

    Where do people see it at the moment, and in the future of the game? Can any team make a breakthrough and really improve. Or maybe like Gelman (pasag) said that eventually a 500 runs total will be chased down in a Test and I agree with that, Sri Lanka might have got that had the two...

    Is Dale Steyn the new Allan Donald?

    Trying for the 3rd time (**** you Mozilla :@ ), and with 39 Test scalps this year thus far at an average of 14 and a s/r of 26, including ripping up New Zealand (who let's face it are not Test standard ATM) with 20 wickets against them, he did bowl with pace and he put Craig Cumming into...
