    He's more convincing as an opener than Watson IMO.

    Was a toss up between him and Sourav for me.

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    The solution to that is to drop the player who isn't performing, not to shuffle around our best current batman to accomodate our current worst. For me, for Perth, I'd go: Hughes Katich Ponting Watson Clarke North Haddin Johnson Hauritz Hilfenhaus Bolinger If Hilfy isn't fit and Siddle is...

    It is frustrating having Hussey in the team in his current form, albeit he's improved a bit, while we have a middle order batsman opening and openers like Hughes, Jaques and Rogers out of the team. Can't see them axing him ahead of Perth, but could give him the word that a change will be made...

    Surely Hilfenhaus would come back in if Siddle's unavailable? Or has his niggle got worse? Even if Sids is fit, he should make way for Hilfy, rather than Bollinger on the form in this match.

    Referral System claims its first victim

    People are up in arms because the 3rd ump is only meant to overturn decisions on review when conclusive evidence is available - that clearly was not the case in that instance. Otherwise, they're meant to give it back to the onfield umpire.

    Referral System claims its first victim

    Think it does prove that for any protestations to the contrary, players usually have no better idea than umpires as to whether an appeal is out - batsmen and edges being the obvious exception.

    The CW50 - No.51...

    Mate, if this is indicative of the quality that you're going to be producing for each player, you should speak to James about getting it put out in blog/column form on the frontpage of the site. This thread could be for the discussion but it would be a good feature for the site. Also as a...

    A.F.L Thread

    Tbh, given the choice of living on a submerged Samoa or in Western Sydney, I'd be looking for a coin to toss or a gun to put to my own head.

    Yeah, great match. Was worried when we went five down, but my love of Clarke and Haddin (with bats in their hand) grows apace.

    The CW50 - No.51...

    Yeah nice start. I admit I couldn't find room for Scarl in my 25, but he'd be in my 50 easily.

    The 90s and 00s banlisted draft thread

    Sourav Ganguly. Surprised he's not gone yet, considering how dire things are getting (I've checked twice so hopefully i'm correct in saying he's available). Strauss Vaughan Younis Ganguly Flower Flintoff Streak Fleming MacGill

    India: Deserved of No. 1?

    So you think the current system of ranking gets it wrong? What would you alter in it?

    The CW 50 - CricketWeb's view of the top 50 cricketers of all time

    Well it's meant to be everyone's individual lists. The power of democracy will decide where the correct balance lies.

    Favourite shot?

    To see someone execute perfectly. For me, its the pull shot, when someone absolutely nails it. Even though it went straight to Bravo, Ponting's pull shot was my favourite shot of the summer so far. Second, would be the lofted straight drive, right over the bowler's head.
