    ***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

    England's #1 position depends on this match, right? So not a proper dead rubber for England then. Apart from their position, they have a point to prove anyway.

    ***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

    That's that! Very impressive by England. Or should we say, this is another typical Pakistan variety between being brilliant and being dreadful? Question: why did Swann only get 1 over?

    ***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

    Apart from the discussion about playing 1 or 2 spinners, I can't see Morgan keeping his place for much longer. He probably gets a nother chance next test (assuming he won't bat 2nd innings), but that should be it. Morgan hardly has any decent contributions. His best scores are, iirc, either...

    ***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

    England put on 150 runs for the last 5 wickets. That's a fine effort, especially when under some pressure. Obviously Pakistan are still in a good position. But this England team won't break so easily.

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

    First of all, I only tried to say there is a small hint his form has dropped from 100% to 95%. So, I agree there is not too much to be worried about.. However, regardless of Dravid's from, I do think form can indeed change overnight. Both ways!

    Dravid being bowled 3 times now (right?) might be a hint he is not in 100% top form.

    That was a pretty straight forward chance! Wouldn't want to judge him on this ball, but how is Haddin regarded as a Glovesman in general?

    *Official* Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011/12

    A double 100 straight after bagging a pair. Makes it even more impressive, for a man who has so many times been criticized for not getting on with it.

    Best All-Rounder ever

    Today Cricinfo showed another Ask Steven. It has a list of cricketers taking 5-ers and batting centuries in one Test. That list is limited and clearly there is one leader of the pack in Sir Ian. Obviously it is not the only way to judge an all-rounder, but it does feel us something, I guess...

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

    I'm with you! I want a tight contest with India losing the series on day 5 of Test 4 after tea, by a poor umpire decision that would be reversed by DRS, had there be such a possibility :ph34r: . Just something I wonder: During Ashes series, taking the urn is the goal, rather than winning the...

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

    Does it matter if he really gets back to his standard level? Sure would be nice, but I would select this Ponting anyway. Since the start of 2010/2011, Ponting has averaged 33,2. Obviously, that is not even near his own capabilities, and not justifying a place in the AUS side by itself. However...

    I was thinking the same. I'm really looking forward to that. Might as well plan a trip or two to England

    Surprise surprise! Sehwag out to a short ball on off.

    Lol! Aus have done there homework. First ball short & wide to the off-side...., and Sehwag plays and misses....

    Looks like a very good set up to me! It sucks it is 2 am here. No way I'm gonna stay awake during lunch, when lunch is from 2:30 tot 3:10 in the morning........

    Yeah, I agree Aus are favourites now. But strong favourites? Not so sure. The fact that the Indians didn't do well in England doesn't say too much. That was England, the best Test team around these days, due to their superb bowling attack, bowling in helpful conditions.

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

    Indeed. If Aus can score 60+ runs for the last two wickets in the 3rd innings, 300 doesn't seem an impossible target with Gambhir, Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Kohli, Dhone & Ashwin....

    Not the plumbest of LBW's, but still pretty plumb, not?
