    The stats do not do him justice!

    For me, the reasons why he got injured are a completely separate reason to how highly I rate him. I said that he had valid reasons for much of the time he was below his peak, but all players have issues to deal with. Those things can be taken into account in a detailed specific examination of...

    The stats do not do him justice!

    Yeah, I'd dispute that Junior deserved an average of 50. He looked to have the talent to do so, but obviously either lacked the application (the common theory) or else that appearance that he found it easy was misleading (which is his explanation). I think it's more the latter than the former...

    Codemasters announce Ashes Cricket 2009

    That's stupid Golaxi. Since when does graphical accuracy equate to good gameplay? In a sports sim, I'd take replay value and clever integration of the various factors of the real sport, plus good control design over graphics everyday. Hell, if they can get those factors right, I'd be happy for...

    Should Brett Lee be selected for the Ashes?

    Lee should be at the bottom of the pecking order out of the tour squad IMO. He doesn't have the work into him to think he'd improve on his pretty poor record in England. A few overs on a couple of T20 matches isn't enough. Needs to working his tail off in the nets and in the few tour games to...

    Codemasters announce Ashes Cricket 2009

    Well, in that case (if they're reading the forums for ideas), and its not too late: - Bring back the classic players as unlockables. - Bring back fully customisable teams - Bring back proper career mode. - Stamina for bowlers (although I think I've already seen that this is in the game) - Make...

    Fake IPL Player - Very interesting blog

    Its also crossed over and garnered a profile outside of the Internet, which would make it attractive.

    Codemasters announce Ashes Cricket 2009

    @ Barmy Army: Thought I remembered a fairly terse announcement that the guys from CM weren't going to be available anymore after the review. But I did stick in the caveat IIRC (IF I recall correctly), and I'm very much sorry if that memory was inaccurate and I've done anyone a disservice. I...

    Dutch team etc.

    If you love Pakistan so much more than the netherlands, strange you don't choose to live in Pakistan. What a stupid thread.

    Not sure he'd want to - in terms of off field stability and resources. Plus Brayshaw has essentially said North can't afford to pay top dollar, and Bucks probably sets a pretty high price on himself.

    That he's been chosen to shield Wayne Campbell. That not even Rawlings own Mum would expect him at the moment to keep the job next year. But that he seems a decent coach from the little they've seen of him, and he has opportunity to make a rep for himself, and should Richmond somehow win more...

    Group C - Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies

    Nannes would be playing for Australia if he'd been asked - only took the Dutch gig when that didn't happen I believe. Any of the spinners who have done well in domestic T20 would also have helped, along with Shane Harwood.
