    Radio 5 - Greatest Test

    Was just listening to the greatest test discussion on radio 5. Agnew chairman, Boycott, Steve Waugh and Vaughan voting. Shortlist was: 1960-61 Aus -WI tied test 1981 Headingley 2001 Kolkata 2005 Edgbaston Kind of harsh on Waugh - 3 Aus defeats and a tie they should have won. Boycott voted...

    Athers I stand and applaud you

    Andrew Flintoff comes up short in great debate - Times Online This article will probably be pretty unpopular among England fans, it's objective and cold at a time in the series when people want romanticism. It's the ballsiest cricket article I've ever read by an English cricket writer, and I...

    Langer's pre-ashes dossier in the Telegraph

    Langer's 'Anderson's a bit of a *****' Dossier Suprised there isn't already a thread for this so thought I'd make one. It appears Justin Langer's written a dossier about some of the England players and English players in general, and it's been leaked in the Telegraph. Agree with most of it...

    Richard Hobson, anybody else think he's an idiot?

    Lauding of wonderkid Phil Hughes should be put into perspective - Times Online Hughes isn't as good as Bopara because he hasn't scored 3 hundreds in a row apparently. Well neither has Sachin Tendulkar, or Lara IIRC. Hughes is however the youngest man to ever hit twin hundreds in a test...

    2 Tier test system

    Top ICC official moots two-tier Test structure | Cricket News | Cricinfo ICC Site | Cricinfo.com Damn good idea IMO, a good compromise to allow the likes of Bangladesh to keep test status, and to increase the frequency of interesting test series. Love the idea of India and England playing a 5...

    This is why Australia will lose the Ashes

    Watson sits out training with knee injury | Cricket News | The Ashes - England v Australia 2009 | Cricinfo.com Watson will never be fit for 5 tests in a row, which means Macdonald will play, and no team with Macdonald in will ever win the ashes.

    What bat do you use?

    Well finally got round to doing the seasonal repairs on my bat this morning and I started looking round the net at what's available these days, there's a lot to say the least. I currently use a Newberry Samurai Player (couldn't afford the SPS...) and I absolutely love it to bits, so much power...

    Mongoose cricket bat

    Just heard about this today, didn't woodworm do something similar a couple of years back? Anyone seen one in a shop yet? Would love to have a go with one.

    Greatest individual performance ever

    Let's isolate this to test cricket, not necessarily just a match but over a series qualifies too. A few that spring to mind: Hanif's triple vs the Windies Harbhajan Singh vs the Australians 2001 VVS Laxman Kolkata 2001 Ian Botham 1981 Headingley/Ashes series Botham 1985 (I think?) vs India...

    Eoin Morgan

    Personally I'm disgusted at his selection for England. He's represented Ireland for years now and they've put a lot of time, effort and money into his development. For England to swoop in and poach him shows a glaring lack of moral fibre. Disgraceful, just disgraceful. Pietersen was one thing...

    How good is Ryan ten Doeschate?

    His record is phenomenal, in pretty much all forms of the game that he's played. Personally I've only ever seen him play once, and even then I didn't see him bat. I'm wondering what are people's opinions on him? Though he's English qualified he has very nobly chosen to represent the...

    Ajay Sharma - why didn't he play more tests?

    Ajay Sharma was featured in a cricinfo article today, I'd completely forgotten about the man, I always wondered why he didn't play more tests as a young player? It's not like India had an embarrassment of riches in the early 90s? Here are some links to his incredible domestic record: Cricinfo...
