Most other forums (infact, all) I've visited before have this marked with a small dot or arrow to the left of the thread title...

    Michael Clarke retains Australia's Twenty20 captaincy | Cricket News | England v Australia 2010 | Cricinfo.com Give it to White, TBH. Not complaining about Clarke gaining experience though, if I gave a stuff about Twenty20 I'd be raging though.

    Australia's opening batsmen

    With Hughes recent success in the Test against New Zealand, are you in favour of him opening with either Katich or Watson, with the other slipping down the order, or keeping the winning combination? Seeing as a lot of people have recently been wanting North dropped after his poor Australian...

    Captaincy

    Yes, another captaincy thread. Well, now, I'm having massive second thoughts about captaining my school side. I don't know whether to do it or just be a player. I don't really know much about setting fields, but the rest I know what's going on. So, should I captain, and how can I set fields...

    Classifying pace bowling

    How would I classify my pace, at 13? For example: Fast bowling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Is for full grown men, how would you rank for a player of my age? On that scale, I'm not even medium, but I'm not exactly a slow bowler, for my age.

    How much cricket do you watch?

    1) When your team is playing. 2) When your team isn't playing 3) When it isn't on your T.V. (eg going to pubs, getting streams, going to mates, the game, etc)

    It's just not cricket

    You know what I'm talking about. The IPL. It's a waste of time. Only the Indians like it. It's a money grabbing scheme. It only causes injuries. It's not entertainment. People take it say to seriously (eg Indians saying "OMFG YYOUUU MUUUUSSSTTTTTTT PICKKKK THIS PLAYERZ FOR AUSSIES THIS...

    If Test cricket died

    Would you still watch cricket? Personally, I would watch the occasional game of One Day cricket, but then I would probably end up getting desperate and start watch lots more OD.

    Jakes pre season cricket log

    OK, firstly, welcome to my log. So I've taken a bit of a break from the weights, training, whole working out thing. I'm back now, and am ready to go again.
