    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Absolutely gutted we lost this test. Have an extremely hollow feeling inside. I am highly convinced (~99%) that if a few of the nightmarish decisions from the Benson-Bucknor crew didn't go against India we would have drawn this test match. That being said, players like Jaffer and Yuvraj...

    I hate to say this but Sreesanth is a massive, massive loss for us. Our bowling attack looks decidedly less potent without him. Hopefully Pathan can fill the void and do his bit otherwise we will get absolutely smashed 4-0. Batting looks solid but I am struggling to find where the 20 wkts will...

    How's coming, Cumming's not going. Disastrous runout for NZ.

    ****en pathetic. I knew there was trouble looming when Koertzen pulled out his light meter.

    Seconded. I'm the biggest Dravid fan and have the utmost respect for the guy but I hate his reluctance to do anything outside batting at his coveted 3 spot. He's the type of character who seems to builds up pressure on himself and at the slightest hint of failure he seems unwilling to stick it...

    Has to serve out his 15000 FC runs apprenticeship. I mean, you can't cut one brother short.

    *** Official *** Pakistan in India

    I would... Especially with the Australian series so close, it would be interesting to see what the back up talent would be like in a live pressure cooker match scenario. Both of them are quality prospects that should be tried out but I no way advocate for them to be a permanent member of the...

    Don't know what all the fuss concerning the 4th bowler is about..... It should be a straight swap, McGain for McGill. Gain a lot, lose the fish. I am pretty sure it's an unwritten Australian selection policy that they must select a Macca in our attack. If it ain't MacGill, it's McGrath or it's...

    TBF, This attack is making him look much better than he is but a classy, elegant innings nonetheless.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    To be fair, part of the reason why most hate Watson is that every time he puts himself into the frame for selection, he almost inevitably get injured. Granted, it may not be his fault that his body keeps failing but its highly frustrating/annoying for supporters who follow his progress when his...

    *** Official *** Pakistan in India

    Have been quite dissapointed with Kaneria - granted he's been accurate but not posing nearly enough of a threat. Read Afridi's article on Cricinfo and he mentioned that Kaneria should revert to his previous action, which involved that run up and jump as it would enhance his flight and turn...

    AWTA. Hogg deadset cert for Boxing Day unless MacGill performs a couple of miracles at domestic level. Indians will carve MacGill up but have shown trouble in picking Hogg and his variations.

    Not Fair for Sanga. Punter should agree to Last Man Standing to make things more interesting.

    Didn't pick Voges or Cosgrove as they haven't been consistent enough over a number of seasons.

    Yep and Prasanna goes for a pair. Sanga to be stranded for 140 odd.

    Australian U-30 Team

    Who would you pick for an Australian Test team if you're limited to players aged under 30 years. Had a stab at this, and twas' harder than imagined. 1. P Jaques 2. T Birt 3. M North 4. M Clarke (c) 5. S Watson 6. D Thornely 7. L Ronchi (k) 8. C White 9. M Johnson 10. B Hilfenhaus 11. S Tait...
