    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Lord's a couple years back against the Saffers. Probably easily forgotten, as England lost. But he did get Kallis (twice, though one was dodgy), Amla (twice) & ABdV. In my memory, those were some very decent spells! And then there is Birmingham last summer. I hold Steven Finn, the arsehole...

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    For my own convenience, I've made a par wicket list for batting first. Sure enough, it's a bit random, as it doesn't hold any sort of indepth analysis of type of pitch, conditions, or abilities of batsmen or bowlers. Let alone the difference between the 7th wicket being the in form #3 having...

    ***Official*** India in Australia ODIs 2016

    I liked that. Possibly Sran was taken apart by Warner in the IPL? Just guessing here.....

    ***Official*** India in Australia ODIs 2016

    I think Rohit meant that they figured 250 was par, before they had batted. Not a ridculous guess, and not the first time a cricketer has to change his opinion, after actually having played on the surface.

    ***Official*** India in Australia ODIs 2016

    Wow, I didn't realise it is still common practice in Australia to bring shame on criminals by driving them around in the back of a truck, in a packed stadium. The poor petty criminal even was forced to bring his daughter! That's just cruel!

    **Official** Big Bash 2015/16

    About a year ago, the Royal Brotherhood for Matters of Unfortunate Responsibilites (RBMUR) decided that Shane Watson will be blamed for anything that goes wrong untill he retires from all cricket. There's no way to get around it. Last summer's Ashes, Watson twice spilled a review on his own LBW...

    **Official** Big Bash 2015/16

    I agree. Especially the last one. I also felt Cameron White's consecutive boundaries, when he was on 30 from 30, were key. Last match, he lost his wicket at that moment. There's a difference between anchoring the innings and consuming a quarter of all deliveries at a run-a-ball. I think you...

    Deserves to end with a wide ot no-ball imho.

    Yeah, that looked really weird. Batsman was behind him.....

    Well, It's hard to tell live it was bat or pad first.

    Player revolt in sa over quota system ??

    Hmmm, only anonymous player quotes. That's not enough, I guess. Though a maximum of 4 white players in amateur competitions seems absurd to me. Does that include all amateur competitions? Like village cricket? Nah, No need to :) .

    Is Chris Gayle some sort of perverted misogynist or can everyone just settle down?

    Good call to bring this up. I was wondering why we hadn't discussed this earlier...............

    Yeah, I forgot he was one of the droppers....

    Dworf you us? Such a very pleasant & proper Dutch name, completely raped by Aussie commentary....

    **Official** Big Bash 2015/16

    I've been in situation like that a couple of months back. I was running in from the boundary to take a catch. Half a second before taking it, a team mate crossed my line. I hadn't called it, as I didn't even realise he was trying to catch it too. Thta happens, when keeping your eyes on the ball.....

    Is Chris Gayle some sort of perverted misogynist or can everyone just settle down?

    I must agree with Spark that Free Speech is indeed not the issue here. It's even quite ridiculous it has come up. But that's what forum threads do. Drift away......

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Thanks for the reply! What you have written down, is pretty much how I understood things. They only thing I find weird (if I find not just anything weird about it) is that Bavuma is (counts as) definitely black, evidenced by his name. This suggests that, if he has a white (grand)mother with...

    The difference between an internet forum thread and a train, is that a train will actually stop when it derails.
