    Is Harbhajan Singh one of the greatest fingerspinners ever ?

    He would have to be one of the very best in modern (say, post 1970) times. Guys who would be contenders for the all-time distinction, such as Laker, tended to be much earlier in the piece. Given the advances for batsmen that have made spin bowling harder to be successful, I'd say he deserves...

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    Come clean Rich - have you ever tampered with a ball, in the sense that would be commonly denounced if caught in international cricket?

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    That's because you're a cheaty medium pace bowler who hates batsmen. :p

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    If you believe that, you must believe that cleaning, shining or otherwise maintaining the ball, is illegal, as that reverses the 'natural state of wear and tear'.

    A.F.L Thread

    Propose this new regulation be named the "Matthew Lloyd Memorial Law". Oswald retired just in time.

    Why no crowd barricades?

    Lol, Streetwise is a fool. Embodies the kind of ignorant, contempuous superiority that we see from time to time at places like Cronulla. Wasn't him who tackled Latif was it?

    Why no crowd barricades?

    Tbf, the joke sentences bear some responsibility for the fact that a good siZed chunk of our society just don't respect the law.

    Why no crowd barricades?

    Afridi should have walked off tbh. It's not that Ponting is precious or cowardly, it sometimes seems like we're the only team who places a sensible premium on our safety.

    Why no crowd barricades?

    If we'd had landmines around the edge of the Gabba in 2002/3, then Simon Jones' knee would NEVER have recovered in time for him to sink us in 2005!

    That wouldn't be a calender GS, that would have been a 'Serena-slam' type thing.

    wtf? I thought it would be a cute link like this:

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    Good points. "hmmm, there appears to be an incisor embedded here in the seam". The five run penalty thing is a bit of a joke - it's surely now gone the way of umpires calling chucks on the field - noone is going to be willing to do it, and that's maybe not a bad thing as opposed to reporting...

    Yeah, but they don't have the opposable thumbs to hold them.

    Reckon Fed could just possibly rip through a couple of French opens now that he's got the monkey off his back.

    Aside from the constant cross-promotion, which was admittedly a big negative, I really enjoyed 7's coverage this year. I like Jim Courier, although that apparently puts me massively in the minority, and Henri LeConte was brillant. No Newcombe was a bonus as well.
