    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...

    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...

    Cricket Celebrations (wickets and hundreds)

    A clear sign that the value of cricket has adjusted itself. When Matthew Hayden scored the fastest world cup ton on the 24th, he hit Greame Smith for a massive straight six, was followed by a wry smile, a hug from Ricky Ponting and ready to face the next ball. Andrew Flintoff, seriously, watch...

    I'm dissapointed with the English.

    I'm proudly South African, and living in England at the moment, which has given me the oppertunity to consider the "English Perspective" The newspapers for a start, feature the cricket well in to the sports section, with other international matches not involving England getting little or no...

    Woolmer's final interview... (thanks to news24)

    Woolmer was last seen in public when he addressed the post-match media conference after his team's defeat to Ireland at Sabina Park. One of the worst days of his life He indicated his side's performance ranked pretty highly as one of the worst days of his life as a coach. "I think the...

    Pakistan Fans, please don't panic!

    Jeez, when things go wrong... I'm really upset about Bob Woolmer, but if I could concerntrate on the team itself for this thread... Firstly, it was evident at the post match presentation that Inzi was devestated at being thrown out of the cup in such dramatic fashion, and Pakistan (and possibly...

    England Should Blame Harmison.

    I conceede the fact that England won the commonwelath Bank series. Good for them, well done, I enjoyed it because it's given my team a chance to get to the top, but, if England don't win the World Cup (which they won't), I think that they would have wasted a chance to at least be competitive...

    Current players who should quit while they're ahead.

    Personally, I don't think Shane Warne Should have retired, he still had another season of cricket ahead of him, but I respect him as a cricketer and person enough to realise that if he knows what he's doing, then good for him! But, who should quit test and ODI cricket, before it ruins their...

    ICC Warm Up Matches

    First of all I think these matches are a waste of time, teams should not be playing stronger teams, maybe instead playing regional carribean teams, but anyway. Just really wanted to know, do the warm up matches have official ODI status? ie, will they count towards rankings?
