    Please explain

    I have read that Ashley Giles role is a containing one in bowling over the wicket into the rough. Well now correct me if I am wrong, you pick bowlers at Test level to take 20 wickets to win the Test, so you pick bowlers bowlers to take the wickets not a containing one. So I cant work out for...

    Pitches

    Is it me or have I found the pitches in the latest round of County matches to be very flat or there is some poor bowlers or a combinmation of both. Check the scorecards if you dont believe me. I mean Lancashire scoring over 700 and Middlesex replying with over 500 there must be something wrong.

    The West Indies cricket discussion thread

    Part 1 - the bowlers: The West Indies batting is fine, but I find the West Indies weakness is in their bowling, here is my thoughts: Fidel Edwards - yet to see him bowl. I'm told that he has the good qualities in swing, pace and accuracy. Will need to get on performing. Potentially Lara has...

    Why is NUL cricket only 45 overs long?

    Judging by the scorecards I have read, the Norwich Union League is very entertaining with scores like 335 in 45 overs by Hampshire recently. So I would like to know, why is the NUL only 45 overs long for each innings? Wouldnt it be more logical to make it 50 over cricket, since ODI cricket is 50...

    Should Fleming open in Tests for NZ

    I was considering this because I know Stephen Fleming opens for New Zealand in ODIs and for Yorkshire and he has opened in Tests on some occasions (ie in the second innings of the Test where he got 274*) and I know New Zealand's main weakness is the lack of consistant openers. Fleming knows...

    Well the EPL begins on the 16th of August and the Nationalwide div begins this weekend with my West Bromwich Albion travelling away to Walsall. The Baggies have a good squad and are my tip along with West Ham to return to the EPL. Which team do you support? (I know Nibblet supports Chelsea).

    Dewald Pretorius

    Dewald Pretourious Does anybody really rate him? I think he has some potential and I like the fact he can reverse swing a cricket ball (from the 7 overs he bowled in the Lords Tests) and that will be a bonus to the South African team. However, I would like to see him buck up his accuracy a bit.
