    A Single Test or Fifty ODIs?

    As much as a Test is what cricket is all about...., I can't be arsed about Darren Pattinson's career, whereas Nathan Bracken's career seems rather fine.

    Which top batsmen have been dismissed the most by part-time bowlers?

    In 2005 Ponting took Vaughan's wicket. It's just a wicket I won't forget any time soon. I don't think Vaughan got out to part-timers regularly.

    ***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

    Though one can agree or disagree with the statement Swann is the best spinner in the world, it is by no means a ridiculous statement, is it?

    ***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

    Wherever I read about this Test, I read about England's failure to either follow on, bat at a higher RR or declare earlier. Is that really what this is all about? I think the choices were conservative, yet nothing spectacularily wrong.

    ***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

    Though English is not my native language, I think I'm not lying when I say my English is pretty ok. But you've got me here. Being toilet = being crappy, as in a filthy toilet? Or being prefectly clean, like any toilet should be? Oor do you refer to making ones toilet? Looking village = looking...

    Naaahh, Joe Root will now have his once in a career time opportunity to get to the fastest test 100 :D !

    ***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

    I don't think it makes any sense to declare before NZ are 100 runs per session away. That means a declaration at (or just before) tea. With the extra overs in todays and tomorrows third session, England have enough time to bowl the Kiwis out, even with some serious rain interfalls. Cook has...

    IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

    I just read on cricinfo Sreesanth claims he is innocent. Do we have any (public) evidence on him, either way? I find the cricinfo commentary lines not evidence anyway...., and if they were, hardly evidence in any direction whatsoever....

    IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

    Though I tend to agree, there is another factor that's quite important: There might be factors, unknown to us, that force a person into doing things he normally would not. I know a first hand story about a guy who had debts with some really nasty criminals. That made him steal 40.000 euros from...

    **Official** Indian Premier League 2013

    Taking risks when none should have been taken. Marsh, Nayar & Matthews all went out trying to do something massive while the RRR was under 6 Well, it has never bothered me with Test Cricket, so.........

    All credits got to the captain, not to the man at slip.... Anyway, it was a nice catch, but I wouldn't say it was sharp one.

    **Official** Indian Premier League 2013

    Just as I notice the stadium is far from full and thus a bit quiet, some commentator tells me there's a good atmosphere.

    **Official** Indian Premier League 2013

    Though I agree, I guess it is not much of a problem, as others can deliver the goods after their start.

    **Official** Indian Premier League 2013

    I like the idea thay can actually score at a healthy run-rate without scoring too many sixes. Fifty runs in 7 overs for the first wicket is not that bad in reply to 156. Sachin and Ponting did set a fine platform for others to see MI home. The others simply failed to do so.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    TBH, I do rate Clarke as a captain. Despite not having unlimited talented players Australia used to have, he's managed well, I think. Can't see what Watson is up to right now. It really, really is a no-brainer to bowl Pattinson.......
