    Ponting, Hayden, and Gilchrist sign with IPL

    Full story, more to follow Very interesting that those three would sign, more so for Ponting, although I can see why Gilchrist and Hayden would.

    If you can improve/change one thing about CW?

    Definatly what SJS suggested the other week, and have a spell check option as a posting feature, we have a lot of things if it were possible then it would be a winner IMO.

    Best and worse pressure players?

    For me it is the likes of Michael Bevan, Steve Waugh and Brian Lara (WI-Aus 98/99 Test Series as one example) of what I have seen as the best players under pressure. Players can also include Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne. I'll chuck in Chris Cairns as well, he has played some strong...

    Marion Jones 'admits to Olympic doping'

    Full story Doesn't surprise me TBH, I mean how American athletes are still not getting the message? That Barry Bonds is still playing astounds me given his background and reputation.

    Robert Key - Wasted talent?

    The first time I saw Robert Key bat I thought he had the makings of a solid player, whilst his concentration at times was lacking I remember his innings in Hobart against Australia 'A' in 02/03 showed a good player at FC level and in the Perth Test (in his second Test) he showed a willingness to...

    Adam Gilchrist v Andy Flower

    Who do you rate as better? I'm leaning towards Flower for this one. Whilst I'm in no way knocking Gilchrist's career or how he plays, in fact I think he is a suberb player and a nightmare to bowl to when on song, really damaging. And certainly how he has been able to keep up a high average and...

    Why does South Africa never produce any good spinners?

    Well why not? I know about the SA Test pitches, but what are they like at FC level? Similar to the Test ones? Perhaps captaincy at club level and FC level and if they are used in a defensive/negative role and if they start to bowl in attacking manner and give it some air they could end up...

    Best and worse depth?

    Outside from the Australian cricket team that is. I was thinking of New Zealand given how much they have to be without Shane Bond and many of their key players who have suffered serious and near career threating injuries (we were robbed of Chris Cairns true best years, Nathan Astle's dodgy...

    Where does Ricky Ponting rank?

    Obviously the figures don't lie since 2002 and 2003, the amount of runs he has scored has been incredible, if gluttony were run scoring, he would be long dead. However, that is not the point of my thread though, where does he sits in terms of being considered a great player, IMO he can be and...

    Best of the rest?

    Who do you think is the best batsman/bowler/overall cricketer outside of the mainstream Test and ODI teams (I mean like Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Kenya, Netherlands, or even Namiba :ph34r: ) and could you name an XI (I will do one later) For many years it was Steve Tikolo, but surely it would...

    Can you name an ODI team to beat the All-Time Australian XI?

    As the title says, can you name a side that would be the recently named Australian all-time ODI XI (the title I got it wrong on my behalf and I apologise if it is slightly misleading) although I should stress it is for fun, but if you want to debate about it, I can't stop you. Anyway: Sanath...

    Your ideal ODI pitch?

    Well what is it? For me it is to offer something for the bowlers early on, and then to flaten out and be a good wicket, and with a total between 240-300.

    Where does Ross Taylor rank?

    In terms of most naturally talented players to play for New Zealand in your time of watching or if possible off all NZ batsmen? In my time I would say he is up near the top, if he isn't. Perhaps you can add Craig McMillan but he has never had the application to do well at Test level. Stephen...

    Darren Lehmann and Graeme Hick - who is better?

    Well it has been something I have been being to as and it is probably one of my controversial threads again (let's face it, you love it), but I ask who is the better player Graeme Hick or Darren Lehmann? Now it isn't just some random question, otherwise I would have asked Fidel Edwards and...

    Does this happen to anybody else?

    Lately (last couple of days) everytime I log onto CW and check a thread, or make a post, or even into the site about 90% of the time I keep getting the 'Page Could Not be Found' telling me that the server has 'timed out' (see attachment) or it is slow when loading up when making a post for...
