    Pakistani players *fined* for under-achieving

    Pakistan's cricketers have reportedly been fined 50% of their World Cup earnings because of their dismall performances. Apparently this was decided before the WC - and after Australia thrashed then 3-0. It was supposed to be a form of motivation or something during the cup... Ex-captain Waqar...

    Aussie XI for 1st Ashes Test

    This is what I think... Hayden Langer Ponting M.Waugh S.Waugh Martyn Gilchrist Warne Lee Gillespie (if fit) McGrath HOWEVER....... After the Pakistan series, I'd be putting *big* question marks on Mark Waugh and Brett Lee. I'd say that if they don't perform in this test, then they should get...

    Indoor stadiums for England...

    What do you guys think?? Would an indoor (closed-roof) stadium for cricket (a la Colonial Stadium in Melbourne) be useful in the rain-drenched Mother Country?? And the more important question: How much longer before we see the first indoor Test Match, and what will be the implications for this??

    *Official* Australia in decline thread

    How much longer do you think Australia will last at the top of the Test-rankings?? Australia has had a pretty good run over the last 10 years... - strangely enough, about the time Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath came along. So how much longer will the Aussies last and which country will topple...

    Chuck on this...

    I don't even get what all the fuss is about... So what if your arm is slightly bent in the delivery action... it surely wouldn't provide any advantage for a spinner trying to spin the ball, and while the ball might come out a bit faster many spinners get their wickets giving the ball more...

    Cricket, age and the Waughs

    "The selectors have a great opportunity to get rid of both Waughs right now. They've dropped them out of the one-day squad and I can't see any reason why they should even play Test cricket again. They've had their time and now it's time to rebuild." - quote from Neil Harvey in recent Inside...

    Sledging...

    I just wanted to say how much of a dickhead Graeme Smith is after he came out about how the Aussies "abused" him in South Africa earlier this year. I think what happens on the field should stay on the field, and if you can't take it, go back to grade cricket. I think sledging - or "mental...

    Are One-day games getting too boring and repetitive ????

    There have been some suggestions around over the past year or so I've heard about changes to the one-day game to make it more interesting. Some I've heard have been: - making boundaries worth 5 from overs 25-40 - having another 5 over period after 15 overs (choosing where to start it (between...

    Gilchrist and Muralitharan comments

    I just wanted to say how disappointing it was that the Australian Cricket Board charged Adam Gilchrist over the comments he made about Muttiah's bowling action. I just wanted to see what others thought about players commenting about other cricketers, what rules (if any) should be in place and...

    Which players should've played more??

    Who do you think are the unluckiest guys in domestic cricet who should've played more for their country?? Aussie names that come to mind include those of Michael Bevan (in Tests) and Darren Lehmann (probably more of both forms), but I'm sure there are heaps out there... (probably half of the...

    Who's your pick for a Northern XI vs Southern XI??

    Ok - here's a test for every cricket fan... If (by some complete miracle) the ICC organised a test match between a Northern Hemisphere XI versus a Southern Hemisphere XI who would make your cut? (a question bound to generate some disagreements...) So basically, it's Australia, South Africa, New...

    Cricket 2002 on PC...

    Hi, I was just curious - I have seen some online shopping sites taking orders for Cricket 2002 and say it'll be released on May 1st in Oz. Just wondering if anyone can verify this?? Thanks. Joseph.
