    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Clarke needs to come to the party now. Had a quieter summer so far.

    Hussey gone. No - appealling the decision. And gone now. Hussey becoming Australia's Chris Gayle.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Think maybe the baiting of Ponting re the short ball bearing fruit there. Might have made him more determined to pull the short ball whenever he can to prove his critics wrong, at the expense of some judgement as to when to play it.

    Katich gone.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Think the quote was, after Hogg had played and missed a couple of times and was getting heckled, "this kid is better than Sounda", refering to then test bowler Peter Sleep.

    Sheep Draft Version 2.0

    Pretty pleased to have secured Johnston and Dexter in the las round. With Gregory, Johnson gives me the basis of a decent pace attack and Dexter was a quality player. Team so far ---- ---- Dexter ---- ---- Bopara ---- Gregory, J ---- Johnston, B ----

    New Rules Gentlemen New Rules. . .

    Picking fights on a subject utterly unrelated to the thread topic which you've already been arguing at length in other threads = trolling IMO re the Jayawardena, was basing that on the Cricinfo bulletin which I misread - it said Jayawardena was "out with a groin injury", which I wrongly...

    The CW50 - The Top 3

    Depending on team balance issues, I'd have him third, after Gilchrist and Knott. If the balance of the team meant I absolutely needed someone who could bat at an alltime top 6 standard, Flower would sneak in, but in the All-Time 2nd XI, or 3rd XI, there are allrounder options that mean that a...

    Should the ICC drop the two bouncer law?

    **** - hadn't seen that before. Facing such bowling without helmets, or with helmets that helpfully didn't protect your face much have been such a test of skill and courage. Insane stuff. Remember Robin Smith as a tough as teak player, and he certainly looked every inch of that there.

    Apparently Jayawardena had retired hurt before Dilshan was hit. Some were scooting along as grubbers and others landing in near identical spots were rearing head height supposedly.

    Should the ICC drop the two bouncer law?

    This sport. Nothing wrong with that in contact sports. I'm not a fan when its a real bunny batting, unless they've provoked it by given the guy bowling at them a few when the tables were reversed. Not a fan mainly because it's usually unnecessary in terms of getting their wicket. But if a...

    New Rules Gentlemen New Rules. . .

    Back on SJS's topic, the major issue at the moment with the proposed introduction of day-night cricket is that it might be hard for batsmen to cope with the transition and that the ball might do more at night. Pretty bad if that's the case. With all the advantages that have been allowed into...

    Just how good is Ntini?

    "Yes, he was a violent murderer when he first came to the attention of police, but he was clearly picked by them when he was too young, while experiencing a recurrence of a back injury. If we look at his behaviour from September 2001 to May 2008, he was an exemplary citizen, excepting the...

    In other news, I think we can declare Hussey's form slump, if not over, is definitely receding. If Hilditch remains as fixed on getting Hughes into the team, North needs to look to his life. It would require something extraordinary from here for him to have much of an opportunity in this...

    Did you happen to notice what the big fella's batting average over that same period was? :p
