    Langer v the short ball

    Now obviously Justin Langer can play the short ball well - especially square of the wicket both side or otherwise he would not have been a success at The WACA for WA and for Australia but I have ask why does he get hit so much? Does he not look at the ball or does the duck not something he...

    Who will be victim 600?

    Unless something unexpected happens (ie getting injured early on or it rains) Shane Warne will get his 600th Test wicket at Old Trafford on Thursday or Friday (depending when England bat). For me it is Michael Vaughan.

    Cricketweb Cult Heroes

    Use this thread to list any cricket cult hero's on this site (and in cricket in general) ie Ajit Agarkar, Rikki Clarke. They do not have to be great cricketers, could be complete and utter nonsense but those you can't help but like or have a huge fan base. Take your pick. For me it is AA and...

    Cochin?

    I'm doing a job for James, and is Cochin by any chance known by a different name, as I can't find it on cricinfo ( http://content.cricinfo.com/india/content/ground/country.html?country=6 ) and I'm wondering if it has had a name change recently. i.e. Bombay became Mumbai.

    Ideal tour lengths

    I was having this discussion with Richard on MSN last Sunday where we both agreeded that the 7 ODIs England play against South Africa is pointless and boardering on overkill, and could become meaningless and pointless if a side is 4-0 up and not really worth watching (unless the games are any...

    West Indies player dispute takes another turn

    It seems the West Indies tour has faced another jolt with players demanding US $500,000 for appearance fees and not surprising the board rejected it. This is boarding onto a farce.

    Collymore may miss VB Series

    West Indies fast bowler Corey Collymore injured yet again with a side strain. Oh dear! This, and the contract problems, will the West Indies have some fit and good cricketers out here with Best, Edwards, Lawson, and Rampaul left out because of the fact they have been hampered by back...

    Scott Styris

    In your opinion, is it time the New Zealand selectors made the bold move and drop him from the Test team for the upcoming home Test series? IMO yes, for me he isn't really lifting his game when his team really needs it, and it seems to me he is lacking a lot of confidence, and maybe it would be...

    MCG to lose Test?

    Full story here If the bad weather prevents from the MCG from hosting the Boxing Day Test, I say good luck to the Telstra Dome. I just hope that the people turn out for Test at the Telstra Dome if the MCG ground isn't match fit. At least on the bright side is that they no play will be lost...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia Thread

    Tour begins in less then seven days time, so I felt I will get the ball rolling with this thread. I can't work out why New Zealand are playing a tour match v NSW at Sydney when we don't even play a Test there, would have been more logical to play against Queensland at the 'Gabba where NZ play...

    Walking

    Do you think all batsmen should walk? Personally the moment you walk once, you have to walk every single time, no matter the situtation otherwise you will look like a hypocrite. Personally I would walk.

    Ed Paynter - the most under-rated player ever?

    Well was Eddie Paynter the most under-rated player of all time? Having a look at his record tells the story of a very good batsman at Test and FC level, and finished with a Test average of 59.23, and a Test average 84.25, but got the runs when his side really needed them. He even took the...
