    Hello, Is there any casual cricket club/group in Brighton, where one could participate without any kit? If anybody here knows a place to play and some players, please let me know. Thank you.

    Which cricket team has the best "Spin Department"

    very little separates india, sri lanka and australia imo. sl - murali (the best) + bandara (promising) india - kumble and harbhajan (two of the top spinners) australia - warne (second best) + macgill (great support bowler, takes so many wickets) murali and harbhajan have been struggling off...

    our flashy btsman have performed overseas. what lets us down is bowling. and thats a bit unfair to dhoni, he does rotate the strike and keep the scoreboard ticking without boundries very well too.

    you are obsessed with that shot man!! not with the end result - every batsman failed. dravid was equally responsible if not more, he failed too.

    ***Official*** England in India

    silentsriker: very few players consistently perform in pressure situations. and our best player in such a situation played 60 balls for 9 runs and threw it away, knowing fully well the players to come have a different role in the game. wasnt that equally terrible? pathan, well yes if his poor...

    my thoughts - sehwag - sure he has some flaws to sort out, but hes looked unusually below par after that injury, and now hes down again. nothing to suggest he wont be back. he has got hundreds in south africa, england, new zealand, australia, pakistan, sri lanka.... pathan - he doesnt seem...

    @silentstriker: so for one mistake you want to decide he cant play test cricket at all? what would you have felt if he wasnt run out in the 1st innings and scored a hundred, which he was looking very likely to get, and changed the game at that stage itself? and you seriusly think that team on...

    yeah his keeping needs alot of work. and i guess with a player like him, and looking at some of his achievements, miracles will always be expected.

    theres no excuse for the whole indian batting order having performed liek that....so theyre all idiots? huge overreaction after losing to a worthy performance by england. dhoni has shown with some sensible knocks in both forms of the game hes not quite a brainless slogger. he plays atrocious...

    not yet....but he sure has shown improvement. and when he has been careful hes managed to build some vital innings. kaarthick is good too and very unlucky but dhoni should be persevered with imo, too much potential. not just yet.

    Can someone explain the Mumbai Disaster, please?

    england are back in business, great achievement! plus - strauss back with some runs even the backup seamers are performing they found monty panesar geriant jones taking catches flintoff taking his consistency to the next level some good backup for the batting too - cook and shah

    Can someone explain the Mumbai Disaster, please?

    haha typical fuss after a loss....though i didnt watch the games so i guess it was a little less annoying. imo england played superbly despite dropping a few catches, but india outdid them in dropping catches and batted poorly. i didnt expect india to save the game, but it was still a spineless...

    well played england. missed much of the match, just barely caught the last half. some predictions gone wrong - hoggard will be smashed by sehwag without trescothik, added to indifferent form, england batting will fail. collingwood cant play indian spinners

    he was standing in an odd position, besides he was a little shoddy in the first day as well. atleast by his standards, being a good slipper that he is.

    ***Official*** England in India

    but atleast the impact of missing both those players has reduced, or maybe even negated.

    chance missed. laxman has been sloppy in the slips.

    ***Official*** England in India

    well done paul collingwood. both replacements for vaughan and tresco have done well. batting isnt looking so miserable now huh?

    ***Official*** England in India

    freddie and the two spinners will be the key for england. harmo and hoggard, well if they just remove one of the openers theyve done well. will be very interesting to see how they bowl, the bowling is their worry, batting has looked decent. this is a quality attack with some terrific fast...
