    20/20 Soccer

    AWTA. You don't screw around with soccer's format. Whilst taking players off every few minutes in ET is an interesting idea in theory it would open the game up far too much, so much so, that eventually only the most fit team would succeed rather than the most skilled team, which shouldn't be...

    Greatest Australian player since 1989

    Close between McGrath and Warne. Warne shades it for mine, because he was a great player both on and off (:naughty:) off the field. Also LOL @ the irrelevant 11th option. If someone saw this poll and took it for face value, then it reads Casson >> Hayden, Gilly, Ponting, Taylor, Border, Healy...

    Worst player to play for Australia 1989-2006/07

    Without a doubt, Scott Muller. Stock delivery was like 5 miles outside off stump. Batted below McGrath. Fielded like a zombie. Warne famously described him as a cricketer who 'Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field.' Never has truer words ever been said. Astonished Australia picked him for a...

    **Official** Australia in West Indies

    Looks like its going to be a good finish to a very competitive series. Really hoping Bravo and 'Shiva' keep accumulating and get the WIndies to within a 100. Key tommorrow will be both Clark's and Lee's initial burst, if WIndies can hold them off then they can pick runs of Johnson and co. If...

    Mike Hussey - Is he now human?

    No. Hussey is not in a form slmup, he is merely hibernating (it is winter in Australia). He'll wake up from his slumber soon enough and start chasing Bradman again, most probably against us in October :(

    **Official** Australia in West Indies

    Don't know why the selectors are so averse to picking McGain Biggest non-selection for the WI tour. He was clearly the best domestic spinner last summer, and had very control and variation, in addition to being a leggie. I know he is 36, but what a lot of people forget is that he was a banker...

    5 Nations Cricket

    I say banish ODI's altogether. With the advent of T20, the place of ODI's is neither here nor there. It's not pure entertainment nor is it an ultimate test of cricket skills, T20 performs the function of a ODI in terms of generating revenue and capturing a wider audience, even if it majorly...

    Best Fielder After Rhodes????

    Yea, Symonds is the best outfielder. His returns from incorrect not-out decisions, have been outstanding. :ph34r:

    Last Man Standing: 2013 AFL Season

    Wow. Two non-aussies still standing, doubt I would have took much interest in footy if I wasn't Aussie.

    *** Official *** Euro 2008

    C'mon Spain, about time you pulled your finger out and actually make the semis. Here's to hoping. Torres to set the tournament alight.

    French Open predictions thread

    I really, really hope that the Fed Express can pull this off. It will be a travesty if a man of his undoubted calibre, class, temperament and talent is denied a French Open. He's a massive underdog against Nadal who is so physically menacing on clay and has an aura of invincibility about him...

    Shivnarine Chanderpaul

    Deadset legend. So good in fact, they've named a God after him, it's called 'Shiva'.

    ***Official*** IPL match discussion thread

    Wow, what an awesome final.Absolutely gutted we lost on the final ball, but Rajasthan probably deserved it being the better team over the tourny. We made a couple of mistakes that cost us dearly 1. Kapugedera sent above Badrinath, WTF? I can understand Dhoni, Morkel going ahead of Badrinath...

    **Official** Australia in West Indies

    Damn it MacGill! Why don't you bowl a few good spells so you get selected for the India tour. Then you can serve up full tosses like it's nobody's business!!

    ***Official*** IPL match discussion thread

    WOOHOOO OMG! Madras is soooooooooooooo gunn Was understably skeptical about our chances given Punjab's strong top order and the on-fire Shaun Marsh, in particular, but we annihilated them today. Very good bowling effort up front from Ntini and the greenhorn Gony, both of em bowled a very good...

    Best ODI batsman?

    Didn't he score a ton against SL in the final CB series game in which Australia collapsed and lost ? You are right tho, when Gilly fires Australia generally win. The thing is in the mid-90's, the Indian ODI team was so heavily dependent on Sachin, that his success was the barometer for the...
