    Odd dismissals

    Inzi has a knack for being involved in strange dismissals... There was that one where he was daydreaming in the slips and still managed to catch Greame Smith, but remember in the series against England where he blocked the ball to prevent a runout attempt? And then the next game he made way for...

    What is Indian Cricket League?

    How rude is this guy? Get off your high horse mate, if you don't want a discussion, then go to the next thread. And by our game, I mean EVERYONE'S game, not just those with the money... you don't see anyone jumping to help Zimbabwe, West Indies or Bangladesh do you? Least of all India...

    England can have the South African Scraps.

    I really don't mean this disrespectfully, because I love the New Zealand team. I'm looking forward to seeing them under Vetorri, and I have so much respect for their team, but seriously, it is going to be easier to play for NZ than it is for SA or England. The country is rugby mad, it's a small...

    England can have the South African Scraps.

    Well, at the time he was eligeble, he wasn't good enough... besides, and here's one to keep all the English fans awake tonight... I'd rather have Kallis, Dravid, Ponting, Lara, Cook, Yousuf, Jayawardene playing for my team, because at least you know they are playing cricket and not playing for...

    England can have the South African Scraps.

    Richard, you have your head screwed on the right way! I like that! It's an excellent point. KOLPAK is damaging England aswell as South Africa (and probally associate countries like Holland, Ten Des Cota plays for Essex). So why is it allowed? Because at the end of the day, it suits England a...

    England can have the South African Scraps.

    Right, before we start this, if you already have a negative view of South Africa and are here just to be judgemental, don't bother, we're here to have an educated discussion. KOLPAK. Not sure if any of you heard about Garnett Kruger leaving South Africa to play for Leicestershire because he was...

    What is Indian Cricket League?

    Ok, so we have been bombarded over the past couple of months with this ICL... Can you answer a few questions? 1) What format does it take? 20/20 I guess. Will the rules be the same? (eg Powerplays, No Ball Rule etc?) 2) Who is involved? Why is it called the Indian Cricket League and not...

    **Official** Afro-Asian Cup

    What a waste of time and effort this competition is... I bet you the Indian terrential rains washes away the millions of dollars being pumped into this series. Everyone knows that in order for Africa to win, most of the players will have to come from South Africa... and as a South African fan...

    If the ranking system was invented in the 90s...

    That is amazing!! WI by far the superior team than the Aussies according to that! wow!

    If the ranking system was invented in the 90s...

    Richard is right. That was a great series which England could easily have lost or drawn. Hoggard was briliant at the Wanderers to get those 7 wickets in a session, but Kallis and Langerveld were just as impressive in Cape Town, Ntini was on fire at Centurioun (at one stage England had scored 24...

    If the ranking system was invented in the 90s...

    Fair enough, I guess... To Be Honest, I think Australia will still be number one for a long time, the only dfference is, they will be drawing more Test Matches than usual without Warne to turn a match in a session... Look at the last Ashes series... at least two of those matches could've (and...

    If the ranking system was invented in the 90s...

    Yeah mate, when the English team has 11 South Africans playing for you, then you'll dominate...

    If the ranking system was invented in the 90s...

    Do you think Australia would've been ranked number one throughout the 1990's? I rekon Hansie Cronje and the South Africans might have come pretty close to topping the rankings for a few months... Maybe the Sri Lankans would've prevailed after their 1996 World Cup sucsess... No doubt, I'm sure...

    Best Ranking Position For Each Nation.

    Just out of interest, can anyone tell me which was the peak positions of each ODI team? I know Australia and South Africa have both reached number one... I think New Zealand peaked at number 2... Is this a difficult question to answer? Might be interesting... Shouldn't be that difficult, the...

    Is KP worthy of No.1 title?

    Then why on earth are there so many white players in the domestic setup? Surely they too would be on the first plane to England? To be honest, I think far too much has been read into the quota system. It's a complete over reaction to a system which was put in place to promote a smooth...

    Is KP worthy of No.1 title?

    De Villiers had not made his debut yet, so yes, Tsolikile was the next chioce for a keeper... So what if it had been the Titans keeper, or the Eagles' keeper... they're white, would it have made a difference then? Of course not, because the fact remains, Boucher and De Villiers are South...

    Is KP worthy of No.1 title?

    Okay, Bosman has the potential to become a very dangerous opening batsmen. all he needs is some guidance and experiance. It's a knowen fact that South Africa battels in the spin department, and Boje ruffeled a lot of feathers with Cricket South Africa last year... So, Peterson is our next choice...

    What's happening you guys !!

    Are you serious. When we lose we don't burn things.... and we're the disgrace? Our coach is called Micky Auther by the way, and he took us all the way to number one. I'm sick of peole blaming the coach when the team is beaten, its such a cop out. Sort your game out at home before picking on the...
