    23rd Match - Pakistan v Zimbabwe

    Taking risks when there is absolutely no need for it. The best way to get out of the WC!

    23rd Match - Pakistan v Zimbabwe

    Zimbabwe, I guess. But there are many scenario's possible in this pool.

    22nd Match - England v Sri Lanka

    Not even simple stupidity can explain this!

    22nd Match - England v Sri Lanka

    So far, I haven't seen too much of the WC at all, but scrolling through some scorecards, I come to a simple question: Why is Eoin Morgan in England's squad? Not much of an improvement after finally getting rid of Cook.....

    4th Match - India v Pakistan

    IMHO there was 100% certainty there was a nick

    Morgan perhaps?

    ***Official*** India and England in Australia ODI Tri-Series 2015

    Even when a bit older, it would be useful! Playing English county cricket for a season or two would be very very handy for any cricketer, I'd reckon. Tendulkar, Dravid, Ponting, Lara & Kallis all played county cricket in England, arguably before they had set themselves as all time greats.

    ***Official*** India and England in Australia ODI Tri-Series 2015

    From a strictly neutral rough data analysis, today he was India's best batsman and India's best bowler. Apart from the discussion that going with 5 specialist bowlers might be the way to go with only 4 men outside the circle (which is a completely different discussion), all-rounders (Binny is...

    ***Official*** India and England in Australia ODI Tri-Series 2015

    I must say I'm impresed by England's performance so far, as well as by their line-up. They bat deep enough, with Woakes at 8 and Broad at 9. And today Bopara and Root weren't used as bowlers. So, fine balance. And some reasonable ok back-up players in Hales, Ballance, Jordan, Stokes and...

    It's not thta Samuels wasn't in time to bring his bat back...... He never ever got his bat behind the line at all!

    The point is not what C'paul can change. He won't. His style of batting suits him and is exactly whta has brought WI loads of runs. It's not his fault that no 6 to no 9 last for fewer than 50 balls combined.

    Top Five Most Underrated Cricketers Ever.

    Yeah, wel said. this is exacty what has made me stop posting in this thread for 5 times or so now. Either I mention someone that isn't really underrated, or I mention someone thta is simply not as good as I think he is/was. Names that come up in my mind: -Ashley Giles: not as bad as his figures...

    So, what kind of lead would be enough to win?

    ***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

    Ugggghhhhhhhh Even if, for the sake of math, we count 2007 & 2015 for 3 Tests, I would like to emphasise that we come to 7 years and 3 Tests......

    ***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

    This is simply a very good Test. I can see NZ getting to something close to a defendable lead, though that needs some proper application by the the Kiwi batsmen. I really should get some sleep at 'lunch', but I would be somewhat surprised and massively disappointed if this Test has come to a...

    ***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

    Looking at the score (I juat tuned in) this is some Test! A pile of runs (81*) for the 6th wicket and still trailing by 62 after a first innings score of 221. Have conditions changed dramattically, or is is just one of those days?

    *** Official *** West Indies in South Africa 2014/15

    Well, that was a decent day of Test Cricket. Not sure who is ahead. Whoever is, it's not by much. Apparently, the first day average at Newlands is 275/7 and the avergae first innings total is 332....

    Having Chanderpaul stumped means you have all the luck in the world :) . Also, Smith and Samuels got out in really daft ways.
