    **Official** Australia in West Indies

    This is an interesting series for Johnson. I think some of the better windies batsman are going to try to target him early. That could be his opportunity to grab a bag or two. While he has matured over the last 12 months it could still be a kick if the runs flow off him and wickets are slow in...

    Official Under 19 World Cup thread

    The Tournoument has started and it looks like India are on track early to paste PNG 0-30 in the 4th over.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    There are precidents, I think Dory may have been called up in similar circumstances. Its not ideal but there is a possible injury.

    who is the best batsman at present?

    Kumar and Hayden running a close contest. We saw how Much Australia lost by not having Hayden and Ponting not in peak form in the Perth test. So right now these two are pretty close, Sangakarra is holding the batting togheter on his own against the better teams while Hayden is not carrying that...

    Appeal for Bucknor

    Forgetting the behavior of the teams at the SCG Bucknor's performance was not just poor it was diabolical. While I don’t like the idea of teams jumping up and down to get an umpire removed for form it is time the ICC made some reforms to make changes to the panel and matches a lot more flexible.

    Kumble – high on wickets, short on manners

    Kumble has always come across to me as a quiet modest sort of a bloke but you can see the desire to win shine through. his appearance of shyness may have come across as aloofness. Of course I don’t know him but I'll bet neither does the author of the article.

    Enforcing the follow-on

    I would want a full scenario. Each follow on consideration is different, like the way the pitch is playing, how much time is left in the match, what the weather is doing and just how much bowling did the bowlers do/ how many did they score. These are the factors needed to be analysed before...

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in New Zealand

    Scott Styris has been dropped from the test team, did our Aus radio people get that right?

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in New Zealand

    Weak as effort here. For the sake of the crowd New Zealand should have the right to get in front surrender some of their over’s and try and win this outright.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    The Age. An Australian paper is reporting that the team is not happy with Yuvraj attitude and Kartihk may replace him and open and Dravid drops down the order.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Zimbabwe and South Africa

    Is anyone aware if South Africa are still using a race quota in there team and if so what that quota is. It's time Gibbs spot in the team came up for serious discussion but are they able to replace him if the player replacing him is not mixed race or of African ethnic origin.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Zimbabwe and South Africa

    Its a big welcome back to fold of competitive test playing nations to the West Indies. Its been far too long between drinks on the road and this win will lift the respect stakes of the people back in the Caribbean I’m sure. More importantly it may give the players some belief in themselves...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Zimbabwe and South Africa

    I feel the difference Archie. When I watch a replay It does not give me the same aura as a live match, I would prefer to listen live on the radio than watch a replay. Particularly as it looks like the West Indies are about to do something dramatic in the first test. I like the cricket channel...

    Brad Hogg

    McGain is going no where near the SCG on the 2nd of Jan unless he is paying to get in the ground. Hoggy bowled Ok but there was still plenty of loose stuff, I would have been more interested to see how he would have handled it if the Indian batsman where on the attack. It happend for a short...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I'm doubtful India can bounce back as a team. A few one of performances maybe but to beat Australia you need to work very hard, like the England team that won the ashes or the great partnership of a past India team. The lack of preparation is one factor but as a unit the work ethic was...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Well done from Punter here to allow Johnson and Hogg finish this off. Lee and Clark are the 2 who really destroyed the Indians but to keep the confidance of both high as let them bowl at the right times. Punter has also rotated his bowlers supurbly through the heat, though India's effort has let...
