    Battle of the Wrestlers

    The recent spate of activity in the wrestling thread got me thinking this would be a good idea, plus it's a battle thread we haven't already done, which is a rarity. What's a good number of guys to include? Maybe 64, or is that not enough? There's a fair few guys who are certainties to be...

    Your English Cricket Season: 2008

    With the start of the English cricket season only days away, I thought it'd be good to have a thread for people to update the rest of us with results, news, performances etc from yourself and your team. :) Everyone getting ready for the season now? I'm going back to Uni for my first pre-season...

    The England Thread

    Here we go guys, about a year to go and we still have no idea of our strongest ODI lineup. Hmmm......

    My new bat - genius typo

    Check this out - not only did the guy I bought the bat off eBay from send me an MRF cover with a Malik bat, but check the spelling on the cover......:laugh:

    The England Thread

    Right people - tabloid stings, broken feet, oversized strikers, too many centre-backs, and Owen Hargreaves. Discuss.

    Your favourite moment of 2005

    Discounting everything to do with the Ashes. :p Obviously there's only one winner for an Englishman (see above), but other than that, it's got to be Bangladesh beating the Aussies - the ultimate underdog victory. A message to sporting rejects everywhere saying "It can be done". Sachin's 35th...

    Rahul Dravid....

    .....Is statistically a better Test all-rounder than Andrew Symonds (higher batting average and lower bowling average). :laugh: Seriously though, this reflects very badly on Symonds - he's got to think very carefully about how he's going to transfer his one-day form to the Test arena. Do the...

    Unsung Heroes

    As someone who watches a decent amount of domestic cricket, certainly in England, I often find that there are a lot of players who get nowhere near the credit they deserve for their efforts. These aren't always the most talented players - most of them never reach international level - but...

    WC 2007 Squad Selection

    Right, in a continuation of my obsession with predicting things, with 18 months to go it's about the kind of time that we get a rough idea of who's under consideration for the World Cup squads for each country. Give potential 15-man squads for any country, and we'll dig this thread up when the...

    The Best Ball Ever Bowled......

    .......That Wasn't Bowled By Shane Warne. That makes it a bit harder, doesn't it? :p I'll start by nominating Harmy's slower ball to Clarke, and Freddie's ripping out of Haydos' leg-stump after setting him up for it for about three overs, and those are just the ones I can think of from this...

    Weeraratne smashes fastest OD fifty

    http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/srilanka/content/story/223832.html :-O :cool: Unbelievable - a half-century off two overs' worth of bowling. If the innings hadn't finished he could have gone on to the fastest century - he was on course to get there in about 28 balls at that rate.

    Bowling speeds

    Without the aid of a speed gun, it's always difficult to judge what kind of speed you bowl at - has anyone on here ever actually used a speed gun to measure the speed of their bowling? I'm quite interested to find out the speed of the bowling I am used to facing more than my own, to be honest...

    Is there an ideal team balance?

    All the talk about whether or not Australia's lack of a fifth bowler hindered them during the Ashes got me thinking - is there an ideal template for building a successful team, or is it just a case of whatever works? Australia have proven that four bowlers can work extremely effectively, but...
