    A.F.L. Thread II

    The stuff coming out about systemised use of No-Doz and sleeping pills is a bit uncool.

    Votes for Richie the Doyen, I assume.

    The Power of Hypocrisy - an anti BCCI rant

    Missed the part where the reasons why Howard as the Australian PM decided to support Bush in invading Iraq had anything to do with what "we the American public" were told. I think most students of Australian foreign policy would argue that supporting the US's play was a bigger consideration...

    The Power of Hypocrisy - an anti BCCI rant

    Plenty of people here, and in the US, would disagree with that assessment of why we went to war in Iraq. Bit misleading to state as fact what is merely an opinion (albeit a popular one in some political circles).

    World Test Championship

    Take it he's banned because he was Hrthnik? Funny, he managed to changed his style a bit at first, albeit with similar themes, but by the time he was pleading for us to show this to people in charge and "PLZZZ read carefully" he'd reverted.

    Future for international cricket as we know it?

    What about national vs national team as the norm for top level fixtures rather than franchises for instance? Could foresee a situation like soccer where international matches are not minority of matches the top players play in.

    Future for international cricket as we know it?

    Agreed, and I guess the question is, overall is that necessarily a bad thing, a good thing, or just a thing. I take it you agree with the contention that new products, of which the IPL may simply be the first, will compete with and potentially kill off existing ones. I know it doesn't HAVE to...

    Future for international cricket as we know it?

    Will say at the outset that this is not intended to be another thread that either a) aims to sledge the BCCI, or any national board in particular, or b) wants to propose a new format to tests, test championships or some form of hybrid between tests/odis or odis/t20. I want to talk about the...

    The Power of Hypocrisy - an anti BCCI rant

    It's hard enough for long-distance interracial couples without that kind of hatred Zac. Disappointed in you. :(

    Wish I had a pair of purple pants like that.

    *Official* Tennis Thread

    I often dislike people on first sight in cricket, but will then be won over if I like how they play. Footy I don't tend to take a dislike to anyone (besides thinking that all players for 15 of the clubs are ****s on principle) until they actually do something to merit it.

    The Power of Hypocrisy - an anti BCCI rant

    Just explaining to them why they might hear yelling and what sounds like a slap every now and again. If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you!

    Dhoni's wedding : Beginning of a new drama?

    What if he or his wife doesn't like some of them? How established in the team do you have to be to absolutely deserve an invite? Play the majority of games in either format? Play a few games here or there? Come on the field once as a substitute fielder while one of the quicks was having a...

    The Power of Hypocrisy - an anti BCCI rant

    Can see it now. "Kids, HB and I do fight sometimes, but that doesn't mean that we don't both love you very much, or that we won't always be here for you".

    John Howard to head ICC?

    No doubt Howard is a contentious figure. He is a hugely competent man who would have brought a lot to the role and, I think, improved the game of cricket. But if he is genuinely unacceptable to several countries, then he's not a suitable candidate. I'm unimpressed, and I think you're saying...

    The Power of Hypocrisy - an anti BCCI rant

    Actually he did mention that Howard can't have been surprised that CSA would have issues with him given he opposed the boycott of SA over Apartheid, yet supported a boycott of Zimbabwe.
