    Last bowling slot in my all-time XI

    Reckon Warne would love bowling with Murali. He always regretted that after Tim May, he rarely got to bowl with a quality off spinner. @ Slifer - can't see how including Hadlee adds more to the team's flexibility and ability to take all comers than including Murali or Warne, given Marshall...

    Last bowling slot in my all-time XI

    So, with Murali retiring, my prejudice against including active players in my alltime XI becomes moot and I'm shoe-horning him in. It's led me to a bit of a reshuffle of that XI. Currently undecided on the final make up of the bowling attack, have three options that seem near equally good...

    Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

    Viv. Wasim over Warne is the upset of the tourney so far IMO, pipping Warne over Sachin. Can't help but wonder whether Warney suffered a bit of a backlash protest vote from irate Sachin fans (saying that strictly on my impressions on how such a battle would normally go, with no research into...

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    Because he's learnt how to play Harby some time in the last two years?

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Loathed the Scotts when they were players, but as I've said previously, was sad* to see him leave Collingwood because he contributed a lot there as an assistant. * Sad in one sense, obviously pleased for him to get a senior gig.

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    Think it needs to be put to Ponting in terms of giving guys like Hughes and Watson their best shot by letting them try the position that suits them best, rather than "you're failing at three, try things down at five where its a bit easier". If he was convinced that it was the only way for a...

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    How does the Kiwi batsmen being **** affect the merit of Clarke's innings?

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    Dunno, sure Ponting picked a fight with a giant Maori in the Cross, but has he ever taken on Katich in a headlock fight?

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    Ricky's pretty tough. Apart from when being run out by prick substitute fielders. And even then he was angry rather than put-off. They can couch it in terms of making room for all of Hughes, Katich and Watson in the top three, given that's there best positions, and Ponting being the guy who's...

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    I'd like North out of the team in favour of Hughes for India. I'd go: Hughes Katich Watson Clarke Ponting Hussey I take Jack's point about Ponting being at three to avoid facing spinners when he first comes in, but based on what we've seen in their duels over the years, can there be any doubt...

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    I have no doubt whatsoever that the idea of taking the record of Tendulkar has had NO impact at all in his decision to date to continue. Players are pretty consistent, and I believe them, that individual records mean little to them in the scheme of things. They play because they are...

    It's not sport if both teams aren't trying, and you can never be sure with Pakistan.
