    Would be surprised if it ever gains a significant following outside of the subcontinent in it's current form, beyond hardcore cricket nuts. Personally not a fan of the IPL and don't like it potentially negatively affecting real cricket, so hope the business model does fail, but don't agree...

    Averaged 44 in one test against the best batting line up in the world on an utterly flat deck, as part of a dysfunctional bowling attack in his debut aged 23 iirc. Hardly representative circumstances to judge him, other than to note he kept trying and didn't drop his head. And despite that...

    Freddie at the Oval

    After the spanking at Leeds, English fans are understandably seeking hope in the return of Flintoff for the decider. Given his injury was so bad that they could not give him enough painkillers to let him play at Headingly without endangering his overall health, I'm curious to know what English...

    Cue sniffy sniping from traditionalist and impassioned defence from fanboys.

    That's true. That MOTS performance against SA has left him with a significant debt to repay. Hang on, what? He had one shocking test and two poor ones either side of it. Hardly likes he's, oh I don't know, Steve Harmison or Stuar Broad.

    Equally saying "the truth is that the world is square but I'm the only one who sees it" two million times doesn't make you right either.

    Was saying rest Hilfy for this tour match, not drop him for the Oval tbh. Siddle's bowling has got better as he's got more work into him. And saying he needs to bowl better if he wants a long career is silly when his averaging <30 and falling having played tests against India (away), SA (home...

    Luke Pomersbach... wow son. You are insane!

    Look forward to seeing him continue to piss his career away.

    Was good to see Geelong worked hard tonight. Hope the last couple of games ahead of the Qualifying Final are equally torrid - especially that trip over to Perth. :ph34r: agree re Sydney. Would never expect guys like Hutchence to admit they're wrong (Kerr is definitely leaving WCE!) but would...

    You guys are all just bent out of shape due to your unnatural hatred of Didak and the Pies. You should try doing the natural thing and loving them, you'll feel better. ;)

    So....what happens next?

    Aus have got their mojo going and will win at the Oval.

    Wow Richmond were appalling today. Can't remember off the top of my head a worse effort from an AFL team. We won by nearly 100 points but I reckon Mick will tear strips of the boys after what they turned out today. We should have won by another 8 goals - there was a lot of fumbling and lack of...

    Should Australia play for the draw?

    Agree.

    Should Australia play for the draw?

    I was talking FC as well as tests.

    Hilfy out for Hauritz would be the only change I'd make to the bowling. Can't see them dropping any of the quicks from Leeds to make room for Lee so it's pointless playing him vs the Lions. Johnson and Siddle need to just keep on bowling. I think this series has shown the fallacy of sparing...

    Ah, that would be why I didn't get it.

    The Greatest All-Rounder of All Time

    In an all time team, where he wouldn't be one of only two top drawer quicks in the team and could be used as a shock bowler for a couple of spells a day, i'd back him to average mid-40s at least.

    The Greatest All-Rounder of All Time

    Millers batting form was frequently affected by the bowling load he carried. His inability to function as well with a full load in both disciplines should probably count against him a bit in this kind of elite company. He had a persistant back injury that would become a distraction when he...
