    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    "Fewer", not "less".

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    I'm going to go back to thinking modern batsmen are just rubbish if this keeps up. There's nothing much in this wicket, the bounce is true. It is a swinging a bit, but really there's no reason why this isn't a 300-350 wicket. While Steyn is class, the other bowlers are decent but hardly world...

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    Pretty amusing that both spinners ended up with three wickets. Shows that most bowlers are in with a chance on pitches with a bit of bounce.

    ***Official*** England in India

    But surely Monty's failure to score 20 with the bat will come back to haunt England here?????

    ***Official*** England in India

    It's not even accurate. Perfectly possible to run 3 or 4 then get four overthrows....

    *Official* New Zealand Domestic Cricket Season 2012/2013

    Hadn't realised he was quite that old. We turned over so many batsmen in the previous decade... Bell, Papps, Fulton, Howe, Cumming, Redmond, Marshall J, etc, plus a few others in ODIs. Not to mention Sinclair of course. Quite a few of them did go back to first class cricket and score a few...

    *Official* New Zealand Domestic Cricket Season 2012/2013

    So Peter Fulton seems to be having a pretty decent season this year? I have seen zero minutes of actual cricket so far this year, so I'm not sure what to make of this. Any thoughts that he might be worth a (third, or is it fourth?) try in the national side?

    I'll vote for Walcott to make it ten-a-piece.

    Can you not sell him at 6.50 and lock in your profit? Or is it not that kind of a bet...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

    How embarassing will it be for Nicol to watch this performance, and still he won't get picked for the next match. The annoying thing though about the side which failed here is that there's really no obvious way to improve it. The top 5 are made up of the best 5 batsmen in the country (along...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

    So they'll have a couple of extra days before the next test. Long enough to phone up Ryder and Watling and get them on a plane?

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

    Next time someone slags off Samaraweera in particular for being a home-track bully, can we all refer to this test scorecard. (yes, I know he didn't score many in this match either, but it's the principle that batting in SL isn't always easy...)

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

    Just noticed there are 17 overs to go and we're what, half an hour from the scheduled stumps. What odds on Taylor getting banned for a match before the summer's out?

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

    Last time we won a test in Sri Lanka - wasn't it a close first innings before Fleming and McMillan put on a huge partnership? McCullum and Franklin this time.... same left-right combination, similar names, and the "F" tall and left handed, the "Mc" shorter and more aggressive. History repeating.

    I really hope they survive, but 200 in two sessions on a slow wicket will be pretty difficult.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Bangladesh 2012

    As you say, three tests on, now 11 wickets down inside 90 minutes, (Cook the latest) and only one of them a Bangladesh player. Times are changing....

    new zealand's most effective pace bowling

    For a time around 1997-2000 the stocks looked good on paper, but they were all so injury-prone we would usually only get two of that four onto the field at any one time.... Plus the selectors were keen to carry on a lengthy experiment with with Geoff Allott.

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

    Per cricinfo : Mahela Jayawardene has made over one fifth of his 10,540 runs in Galle, and averages 75.60 there Dilshan not fit to play. But still no place for Chandimal.
