    Who are the Worst International players U've seen?

    TEC, what's your opinion on MS Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik ?

    Changing Nature of Indian wickets

    I'm not overly surprised. Another reason why I think England's pace bowlers may across a pitch more to their liking in India than in Pakistan. Playing on that Nagpur greentop would be nice :)

    VVS Laxman v M Waugh v Gower

    Do you guys reckon VVS Laxman is this decade's equivalent batsman to what Mark Waugh was during the 90's or David Gower was during the 1980's ---- ie massively talented, wonderful to watch but perhaps rather underachieving ?

    Most Destructive out of these players?

    Yes well comparing Gilchrist to Gavaskar.....its kind of a no-brainer :p

    Dhoni as an opener in tests

    Dhoni doesn't even open in first class cricket -- why you'd want him to open in test match cricket is beyond me. And I don't see what Gambhir has done so badly that you want to drop him -- young players need time to develop. Sacking them after a handful of tests (in spite of reasonable...

    Ganguly bats for Greg Chappel

    Did he have much success coaching South Australia ? It would certainly be a very interesting mix -- him and India.

    Apparently Ben Harmison (Steve's little brother) is playing for England u-19 and Mayank Tehlan, Virender Sehwag's cousing for India u-19.

    **Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

    Why can't you ever give credit to the Pakistanis ? They have certainly played very well so far.

    **Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

    Does anyone know if Shoaib Malik is allowed to bowl ? Or have the ICC barred him ?

    The One's That Got Away

    England would beat all the subcontinental sides in England and give them a reasonable run for their money away from home, I fancy. We'd likely lose to Australia but Vaughan's lads are still improving and even if we don't win the Ashes in 2005, there's the always the 2006 series in Australia to...

    *Congratulations* Anil Kumble, highest Indian Test wicket-taker!

    I personally think he would have made an excellent captain of India. But anyway, hats off to him for his achievement !! Nice guy off the field as well according to my cousin who met him when he was at Northants.

    *Marsh to Stand down as Academy boss

    Lillee had a contract under the Pace Australia program as opposed to being employed by the Australian academy specifically. In any case, I understand Lillee's role wasn't full-time.

    *Official* England in South Africa Thread

    Didn't they lose a test to England in 1999-2000 ? Of course that test did attract attention for reasons other than cricket. Before that, Mushy spun Pakistan to a test victory there in early 1998.

    Top 5 pacers of the world!

    Isn't Samit patel the England u-19 left arm spinner ? Were you referring to Sandeep Patil, the India A and former Kenya coach ?

    **Official** South Africa in India Thread

    True -- Pakistan, West Indies and South Africa were all stronger sides say a decade ago. But --- you can only look at the present, and despite all the calls for John Wright to be dumped he's still done a fairly good job in taking India to no.3, a position they have never achieved before.
