    **Official** New Zealand in West Indies

    So, you're batting at 7 while your team's innings is in some trouble. What to do? Call through your partner, an opener doing well on 70 not out, for a risky single, jus when he showed some trouble with his muscles?

    **Official** India in Sri Lanka 2012

    I agree this is probably not enough, despite the late burst. However, afaik, India have only once successfully chased 250+ in SL. But that was three days ago.

    Oh.... just for a split second I was thinking that CM tried to reverse sweep........

    Here comes Chris Martin, the saviour with the bat!

    Which makes me wonder......, when did the Windies win their last Test?

    Yeah, most definitely this is WI's best chance to win it from here.

    I was wondering: Is Darren Bravo dropped or injured?

    **Official** New Zealand in West Indies

    Yeah. I like the fact he didn't try to pick up Gayle's blazing run rate at the start of the innings. He's showing far more maturity than his age would suggest. About the LBW appeal on CHG: I figured that nearly hit his arse! Ok, replays showed it was not that high, but still way too high to...

    I totally agree.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Yeah, read past that. Anyway,12 no-balls. that's a lot. And leg-byes are, not always, but often enough, caused by poor line consistency. Not sure that's what going on here, as yesterday it seemed it was a tactic to get Cook out by a leg snick.

    IMHO, they're invented problems. Ravi is proven non-Test material.....

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Apart from not having an obvious alternative, there is another reason he was not going to be dropped. He has always look promising and simply was too good. All the chit-chat about Cook's place in the past was merely, as you said, a press hype. And not even a strong hype. It was like "a few more...

    I agree these tow do fine, which is not really a surprise. However, in the past, I've seen a different Dale Willem Steyn that looked a bit more threatening. I was hoping to see that Steyn today.

    :D No intentions to get some dirt in this thread, but I've always felt that there is not too much wrong with KP's attitude. It's just they he way he expresses himself: too quick and too loud. Must say that the SA bowling disappoints me so far. A great move to have Morkel have a go at the...

    Runs coming in now. Well South Africans, Welcome to England and the new style England team. Obviously I'm getting excited way too early, but I can SA having a tough tour.

    Shane Watson- massively overrated test cricketer

    Watson is imho judged too often as an openings batsman that can bowl a bit, rather than what he actually is: an all-rounder. I guess the way to build a test team (in Aus) is to pick your best keeper, pick your 3 best fast bowlers, pick the best spinner, pick the 5 best batsmen and see if it...

    What is an acceptable, or even good, strike rate for batsmen in ODIs?

    As a matter of fact I have only been watching ODI's since 2006..... Before that time, I didn't know ODI's existed :) .Not sure what you are on. What I see is England closing in on the #1 ODI spot with Bell, Cook & Trott...... And as facts show, hardly any players strike over 90 while having...
