    Smith blasts ex-players/selectors via Twitter

    Would love to know what you think were the grammatical mistakes in my post. I notice you've bolded "Fat Grey's", but as that was a contraction of "Fat Grey has" rather than the possessive, that doesn't really help. Acronyms are used widely on CW, so not really seeing your point there either...

    Australianism

    Australia don't lose ICC Tournament (eg World Cup, Champions Trophy, and hopefully T20) Finals. I don't think we've lost one since Sri Lanka knocked us off in 96 - obviously we've at times failed to progress through to the finals, but the conversion rate once there is pretty much perfect...

    Smith blasts ex-players/selectors via Twitter

    Love how Twitter apparently means that there's no longer any requirement to act professionally re: keeping things in house! Fat Grey's come out swinging in response to criticism of his team: "Find it amazing that kepler can sit and say should have picked a younger squad when he was 1 of the...

    Smith to take North spot at No 6 for Aus test team

    Book him in for a couple of two hour sessions with Warne a month. He's still raving in the media about how much Warney taught him in fifteen minutes out the back of the nets when he was 12th man.

    Smith to take North spot at No 6 for Aus test team

    Correction: wait to see IF he proves himself a better spinner than Hauritz. Ritz is pretty good these days.

    Smith to take North spot at No 6 for Aus test team

    As per my sig, would rather see White in the short term, but Smith has made a really good start to his career and long term, I think they could both be in the team. The "spin-bowling number 6" has become less important with Hauritz's improvement in anycase - with Watson already providing a...

    Is Brett Lee Chinese?

    Given they've all been transliterated in various ways into the English alphabet at different times, spelling in English is not something you can really use as at definitive.

    Semi Finals/Final - Australia, Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan

    A movie of recent Pakistan cricket history, compared to their proud tradition, would be like the prequel Star Wars movies after the original trilogy.

    Is Brett Lee Chinese?

    how embarrassing for us all to have misinterpreted it so badly! :shy:

    Why Is Pakistan's Recent Record Against Australia So Poor?

    They're better and mentally very strong and confident. Whereas Pakistan are mentally pretty flaky (assuming that they're actually trying to win on any given day anyway)

    Leave the County Championship Alone

    Surprised, given the title, that no-one has posted a pic of fredfertang's video clip yet... "Leave the county championship alone... I'm serious!" Or am I the only one still living in 2008?

    Arise Sir Geoffrey!

    Yeah, good article. As an Aussie, my inherited contempt for Boycs runs too deep to accept your conclusion however :ph34r:
