    John Howard to head ICC?

    Razor sharp deductive logic there. Because surely there's only one person in the known universe that could support the preposterous notion that a person elected three times to run a country, is better credentialed at running an international governing body than a New Zealand businessman.

    He scored a century not too long ago.

    John Howard to head ICC?

    Try this simple experiment. Take both of their resume's to any non-NZer and ask them who is more "qualified." You're argument collapses unless you start talking about cricketing experience. Maybe according to your criteria Steve Waugh would be even better. I can see those goal posts shifting...

    Andy Zaltzman

    Both his columns and his podcasts are hilarious. International cricket these days is just begging for that kind of satire.

    John Howard to head ICC?

    And let's not bring clarity into this either. Let's keep equivocating so that our criteria can be tailor made to suit our candidate.

    Ball tampering, does every team do it?

    Sacrilege ;)

    Time for Divisions in International Cricket?

    Four years is too long of an exodus from the highest level and would really hurt a team badly. So let's go with 2-year cycles. To keep interest in test matches, let's limit it to two series per year and possibly one playoff for relegation and one for the winner (and one more in the other year...

    John Howard to head ICC?

    Actually I read up on him as soon as I saw the story and I find it amusing that you think this dude is more qualified than someone who ran a country for 11 years. If anything, John Howard is too qualified. Though obviously that depends heavily on the arbitrary criteria you are creating for the...

    John Howard to head ICC?

    Looks like I touched a raw nerve there by stating that some knighted Kiwi isn't well known. He is anonymous compared to John Howard and no one outside New Zealand would contest that.

    John Howard to head ICC?

    Running the ICC doesn't involve training players and picking teams. It involved political maneuvering between boards. John Howard is a politician extraordinaire, is well known internationally, and commands far more respect than.... what's his name again? You need someone powerful to stand up to...

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    Doesn't say much for the Windies attack the way that Tom Cooper smashed them.

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    Well then what exactly are you saying? If 20+ camera's don't pick up ball-tampering, practically speaking, that's more than enough evidence to assert that they don't. Though of course it is logically impossible to absolutely prove that. The burden of proof here is on those making making the...

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    Burden of evidence. I completely disagree. It is impossible to prove a negative. It cannot be proven that Glen McGrath didn't ball tamper just as it can't be proven that Shane Warne can't fly. But saying that there is no evidence that Warne can't fly and therefore the proposition that he can...

    Afridi The Cheat Strikes again

    Hair Bring back Darrel Hair! Seriously, after the way the ICC shafted him, all other umpires are afraid to call out Pakistan for ball tampering.

    ***Official***Australian Domestic Season Thread 2009/2010

    Michael Klinger The best Aussie batsman over the last 2 years. SA would be fools not to send him to India for the Champions League T20. He can his sixes as well as anyone else.

    Michael Clarke Discussion thread

    Snail Clarke Michael Clarke has curbed his attacking instincts and become a snail of late. He rarely hits boundaries and he just tires out his own team by making them run constantly. I really can't make sense of the selectors decision to play him in 20/20 much less as captain. He has no record...
