    Pak squad against Aus announced

    Should be merged with the official thread?

    ***Official*** Australia vs Pakistan in UAE

    Fair to say we're treating these matches really seriously given the only top liners being left in ate those returning from injury or suspension, plus Clarke and Haddin. Fair enough, given the importance of these matches vs the Ashes. .

    A.F.L Thread

    Early doors this season, but is anyone else finding the resumption of full scale saturation coverage off putting. It's amazing the number of column inches and tv and radio minutes dedicated to stories that matter only to members of the footy media. Craig Hutchence's section on the footy show is...

    Pak squad against Aus announced

    lol good to Akhtar back from his most recent life-ban 8-) Does anyone even expect to take the field fully fit?

    Sri Lanka honour 'hero' bus driver

    Not sure why the inverted commas around hero in the thread title tbh

    Mitchell Johnson vs Allan Davidson

    Plus he bowled spin for a good chunk of his early career, and was discouraged from switching to bowling seam, IIRC.

    The relevance of Bond today

    SPECTRE are still out there. James Bond remains as vital to our safety as ever.

    Victor Trumper - A Tribute

    Agreed. Thanks for posting it SJS

    Steve Waugh used Better Man by Pearl Jam. Which was apt.

    Cricketers Songs

    Mark Waugh used to use Mr Natural which was pretty fair. Jason Gillespie might have used wrestler Triple H's The Game for a while IIRC.

    Superman weeps

    Feel it appropriate to add that for all his talk of how much of a mess he was, rarely did it impact his performance - indeed some of his best was produced when he was most upset. Only in 05 does it appear to have affected him, and even then it's prolly a chicken-egg thing re his technical prob...

    Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time

    Hmmm, would tinker with these a bit. Certainly would drop Pollock and Barry Richards down a bit now as I think they just didn't get enough of a chance to play at the top level - having them so high is really rating them on potential. Would have Sobers higher on that list, and probably sneak...

    Jumping the Shark Draft

    Interestingly enough, possibly by process of elimination by you guys, the ten guys taken in round 11 were the top ten. I was wondering if, and kinda hoping, that team balance issues might see one of those guys slip through, ie. someone gets to the last couple of picks, knows that Marshall...

    Jumping the Shark Draft

    As long promised, here's the collated list of who was banned, with how many votes each person received. I've ranked them, with the top 31 vote getters being those who were banned. Viv Richards was placed in 11th, and was hence available in rounds 9-10, despite tying with Marshall, McGrath and...

    Jumping the Shark Draft

    Sorry, got my computer hooked up last night, and was starting the post when my son woke up. Three hours later when I got him settled again, it was way too late. CWs version of Chinese Democracy will get done tonight!

    I'm supporting our troops. Will do it tonight.

    shiv vs lara vs ponting vs sachin ?

    LOL. Feel vindicated in my initial scornful response. Not much more annoying than loaded poll questions designed to boost the originaters favourite players, esp. When they then get shirty that no one agrees. Shiv, as a batsman, isn't in Ponting, let alone Lara or Sachin's class. If you want...
