    Brett Lee's final Test wicket tally

    Advancing Harris as an ODI option, not for tests, btw.

    Brett Lee's final Test wicket tally

    sure you, and many others, would. My point is that I think Lee, and some others, are in a bit of denial regarding his chances of regaining sufficient fitness to make it back into the squad. Unless they're going to rush him back in without him demonstrating he can stay fit for more than 2 ODI...

    So is India safe to tour or is it just a media beat-up?

    Plus only the earlier, less serious threat came from a group that have any interest in the support of the Indian population. The terrorist threat to the IPL, hockey and Comm games comes from a group that's already declared war on India and its people.

    So is India safe to tour or is it just a media beat-up?

    I imagine any dispute between the players and the franchises will end in the courts - there it will be a matter of what was in their contracts, and whether the court agrees that the security situation is such that it would be onerous and unreasonable to hold them to their contract. Deciding not...

    So is India safe to tour or is it just a media beat-up?

    Egos will be hurt. We've seen how well India copes with perceived slights over the violence here in Melbourne.

    Brett Lee's final Test wicket tally

    Not taking away from the bloke. I'll write a proper post on him when a official announcement thread pops up. I just take issue with the idea he'll figure in the ODI team again.

    Brett Lee's final Test wicket tally

    So is Dennis Lillee, if he can regain his fitness. Ain't likely tho is it?

    Brett Lee's final Test wicket tally

    As if he's going to be selected again in any format. Sorry Brett, you've been a great servant, but times have moved on and your body has failed you.

    So is India safe to tour or is it just a media beat-up?

    Would actually cause the oft-discussed split in world cricket, wouldn't it?

    A.F.L Thread

    The game on Friday night was one of the better games I've seen in a preseason comp. Never worth reading too much into the NAB cup, but it was encouraging to see Ball and Jolly run around and look so good. Saints still going to be a problem for us unless something happens to Riewoldt.

    Since it worked out so well for you last year, fancy an avatar bet on ladder positions?

    Winter Olympics vs Commonwealth Games

    There was meant to be a poll but the website ducked up at the crucial juncture. Consider jelly wrestling to be the irrelevant third option to the question of which event has bigger pretensions.

    Winter Olympics vs Commonwealth Games

    Two events with major delusions of grandeur as to their importance vis a vis their status as global sporting events IMO. Discuss and vote

    A.F.L Thread

    You reckon they'll have the golden injury run they had last year? Last year was a freak. Back to relying on Riewoldt to keep you in the 8 Saints.

    ***Official*** Tendulkar vs Ponting Thread

    Sachin was better at 16 than Ponting was at the same age because Sachin is the better prodigy. Unless you understand the Indian provincial educational system, you won't understand this point. By the way, like my swastika avatar? Ponting clearly has done more for the hair regrowth industry.

    A.F.L Thread

    Lol gumbleton. Almost as big a joke as St Kilda. Look forward to him dominating at about the same time as Sean Rusling. St Kilda 2010 in: Lovett out: Ball, pick 20. Out: lovett, flag chance. Reckon they deserve to be smacked for sacking him, unless they've got some witnessed breaches of...

    Making umpires accountable?

    Don't see how having to front up to a presser makes an umpire more accountable. It's not the media or fans who hire and fire them. If they are accountable to the ICC that's all that needed. I don't see what good actually comes of such a move. In fact, I'd wonder whether the reverse might...
