    Domestic Re-vamp

    I know this is being talked about in the English Domestic thread, but I think it deserves its own. I suspect we might be seeing some changes pretty soon in the domestic set up. http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/352518.html I will give it some thought, and come back...

    How could this happen?

    August 1983 Essex vs Middlesex at Chelmsford An odd game where Middlesex were bowled out on the first morning for 83, but then in their second innings they scored 634 for 7 dec, after Essex scored 289 in their only innings.... but the odd thing for me (apart from Gooch bowling 56 overs in...

    How to define 'best batsman'?

    As we all know, one of the more popular threads going is the 'who is the best/better batsmen?' type of thing. It would appear that everyone has a different view on what they see as being better or best. There are some who think that it is purely down to who scores more runs, there are some who...

    Harmison and the 2005 Ashes

    This is something that cropped up in the Simon Jones thread which was locked. I think it is worthy of further discussion to be honest. Richard has basically said that Harmison only deserved credit for 3 wickets in important situations, ie the last 4 tests. Seems a bit harsh, considering...

    Cricketing moral dilemma

    This one cropped up when I was playing on Saturday..and a few weeks ago We had played this team a few weeks ago, and they played a couple of young lads (15 year olds) in their team. They made a few whisphered moans about the fact that our opening bowler, who is pretty quick, didn't slow down...

    Hayden vs Hussain

    I dont like these 'who is better' debates really, but this is one that has started to take over the one regarding Sobers, and I thought it might be better to take it away from that thread. The basic gist of it is, Richard is of the opinion that Nasser Hussain was a better batsman Hayden is. He...

    How will the Pakistan team react?

    The very sad loss of Bob Woolmer may well have ramifications for other teams in this World Cup...namely Ireland and Zimbabwe. Pakistan have to play against Zimb on Thursday (?). Given that they are already out of the tournament, and with the further emotional trauma of losing their coach so...

    This World Cup

    Have got to say, I have enjoyed this World Cup loads so far, and mostly because of Ireland.:) We have seen 36 in an over, spectacular collapses, one great tied game, low scores , big scores etc. So far, miles better than the last one. Who says the minnows dont have a place in the World Cup?

    Twenty20 Is A Batsman's Game: Fallacy or Fact?

    In last years Twenty20 comp in England about 35 bowlers had averages of 20 or under. Looking at the stats quickly looks like a wicket fell every 2 overs. Why is it considered that the bowlers have nothing to play for in this form of cricket when the bolwers ultimate reward is gained about 4...

    Is the Champions Trophy just a waste of time this year?

    Would be interested to see what people think about this touny. My personal view is that it is just a waste of time, which may not even have the very best players competing. A tournament just a few months before the World Cup of this size just seems excessive. So really, does anyone care about...

    All Time Classic Catches

    Probably a thread similar somewhere, but what the heck!!!! 3 that stand out in my mind: Kallicharan c) & b) Botham 57 (Adelaide 1980)...Kalli smacked the ball, Botham in his follow through managed to knock the ball into the air, and then fall on his back and take the catch. Ghavri c)...

    International Twenty20 and the future

    What do people think..does this game have a future in international cricket? Personally I do..... I think this is a big enough subject to have a thread dedicated to it
