    Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif

    Agree with most of the sentiments above, Kaif has certainly got an awful deal from the selectors. I know Richard is saying that his non-selection is justified based on India having batsman with better talent (Ganguly, Laxman, Yuraj etc.) but in Test match cricket - like a Dravid, Kaif is a...

    Is Ricky Ponting the best batsman test cricket has seen since Bradman ?

    I have to disagree with you SJS. You have forgotten, the one, the only Mr. Cricket :sly:

    Afridi to organise a summer camp for Karachi kids

    http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/297299.html Aside from standard cricket-related activities, Afridi will also be offering personalized tuition in special topics that he considers integral to being a succesful Pakistani cricketer. Special topics include: 1. Slogging 101 (Where...

    **Official** India in Bangladesh

    Don't tell me Jaffer got another jaffa and got out for diddly squat again. Dravid should be his permanent shadow.

    If Australia wins the World Cup....

    Brazil, in soccer, play the beautiful game which usually involves individual stars with a dazzling array of tricks and slick passing to entertain the crowds. So even if Brazil dominates, the majority of crowds like watching them for the one bit of Ronaldinho magic or Kaka trickery. Australia...

    Final.

    Sick of being the eternal pessimist, eh. What happened to your previous standpoint of if we have no expectations and if we do well, then that's a bonus ? You're one of the more prominent SL fan posters and I'd like to see you a bit more optimistic about you're team and be a bit more passionate...

    The World Cup Final - Who Will Win?

    Bowl Out ?? Are u guys sure ? Surely the most fairest way to decide between the two teams would have to be a rematch (i.e AFL grand final). Don't tell me you are relying on sources like Wikipedia ??

    Is it just me that can't wait for the World Cup to end?

    Top post .To create a great WC we need 100% commitment from all the teams. You don't hear of Australia getting up to late night frolics unlike England/SouthAfrica.

    Should Australia be Excluded from the World Cup?

    Haha. Awesome thread. I definitely would like to see what would happen if Australia was excluded from thumping and annihilating everybody. There's a bracket of 6-8 teams below Australia that could beat each other on any given day. We could have this World Cup (excluding Australia) And an...

    Headlines You Want To See During The WC

    Good one but best not to make fun at the expense of Woolmer's tragic passing. Especially since his murderer is still unknown.

    Headlines You Want To See During The WC

    BANG! BANG! BANG! MARVELLOUS Bill and Ritchie get too close for comfort.

    Ian Chappell predicts an Anzac Battle

    It's certainly shaping up to be an Aus/NZ final and I would love to see NZ win it seeing as they are perennial darkhorses and have never won the WC. I think they would be a buoyed with their recent successes against Australia, certainly Ponting will be having second thoughts of batting first...

    Batsman of the World Cup 2007

    This whole rain thing is really becoming tedious now

    Teams don't want to have to use their reserve day as they have less time to recuperate and train fot their next match. The WI played 3 consecutive days of cricket when their innings got rained out against Australia which in all likelihood, played a factor in their loss to NZ.

    does the super 8 go to long

    Yes, it does. But that's not to say I don't like the format. The intention of the ICC was obviously to get the top 8 Test nations playing against each other and playing everyone bar the team they played in the group stages. There is no other 'complete' way of judging a team's quality other than...

    The most balanced bowling attack at the WC.

    Whoaa. OMG What was that ?? Is it a bird ?.. Is it a plane?..... No it's SuperTait ?

    Is the Hussey magic over?

    Good observation. Most of the times when he is dismissed he either drags the ball back on or plays an errant cross batted shot. Which probably indicates indifferent timing on a sluggish track. Hardly ever nicks the ball in ODI cricket which is quite amazing (Maybe once against Flintoff IIRC).

    Forgotten Cricketers?

    Like ? As Warne allegedly said, Muller couldn't bowl, bat or field. Find me a cricketer who has a worser pedigree than that.

    India's Next Captain

    I'm not convinced about Uthappa, he seems like a front-foot bully much in the vein of Imran Nazir. I'd rather Sachin opening with Sourav and Kaif in at 4. We really need Kaif to be assured about his spot because he's always the incumbent in the batting lineup when we lose/senior batsman...
