Foxtel Turns Off the Tap
Yep, a streaming service could at least be offered to countries not involved in the match, as it would be reasonable to assume viewers in those countries involved will always have legitimate viewing options and it's equally reasonable that the ICC wouldn't want to be in competition with...- Flametree

***Official*** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2014
So what's the SL side for the test going to be? Chandimal or Jayawardene to keep? Thirimanne or Karunaratne to open? I assume Eranga, Pradeep and Herath will play so who's the fourth bowler likely to be? It looks a long tail so one of Prasad or Kulasekera to bat at 8?- Flametree

Your first live match
The first match I attended would have been CD vs Auckland in Wanganui in the 1970s. My Dad was on the local committee, so was one of those to drive out to the airport to pick up the Auckland team. On the way to the hotel, I sat on the knee of one of the three tall fast bowlers in the back seat...- Flametree

What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?
Because I simply don't know quite how to rate the likes of Grace, Barnes, Trumper, even Ranji Jackson, or Lohmann... my best-of's tend to only include cricket post WW1. So Hutton Gavaskar Bradman Headley Richards (Viv) Sobers Gilchrist * Marshall Warne ?? Lillee I genuinely struggle to pick...- Flametree

With the exception of Bradman and possibly Grace, pre-war Hobbs is further ahead of his contemporaries than any other batsman in history.- Flametree

***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14
In terms of bowling hot-streaks, the closest I can recall to Johnson is Waqar Younis, who also carried the threat of injuring batsmen - mostly their feet and toes rather than their bodies and heads, but he did have a slippery bouncer too... From his 6th to his 14th test - against NZ, WI and SL...- Flametree

Whatever happened to Ashwell Prince? Not many batsmen average over 40 then just disappear from the scene. I think the Saffers have to take the gloves off de Villiers and get him up to 4. Or maybe,,, didn't he once open? - Alviro looks more like he belongs in the NZ team.- Flametree

So many Indians must be SOOOO conflicted about this test. Their team is doing well but Sharma was the key bowler, and now Dhoni is batting very well....- Flametree

***Official*** Sri Lanka in Bangladesh 2014
Now now, don't be mean. It was the last day plus 8 overs. Which makes it a smidgen under 5 an over on a slow deck. Surely any reasonable side would consider that a realistic chase???- Flametree

Yep, that was an awful hour and half or so. After that debacle against Pakistan, Matthews' captaincy is looking a bit iffy. Bangladesh should have been giving Matthews two every time until the 6th ball of the over, to keep Chandimal off strike.- Flametree

Um, I meant On this pitch, against this attack, if Vithanage and Perera can avoid playing dumbass shots like Chandimal and Matthews just did, Sangakkara could have a decent stab at Lara's record score tomorrow...- Flametree
