    *Official* Bangladesh in Zimbabwe

    Test status If Bangladesh want to be treated equally as a Test status team and keep their Test status then the should be forced to treat Tests with less disdain. Currently they have no interest in Test cricket and if that continues the ICC should take back their Test status and give it to...

    Australia (1995-2007) Vs. West Indies (1974-1986)?

    Pros and Cons Wins for Aussie's batsmen and spinner and Windies win based on their fast bowling. Both teams had a similar middle/lower order hitter in Richards and Gilchrist. In my opinion the Aussies overall because they played against more professional opposition in a tougher era but my god...

    *Official* Bangladesh in Zimbabwe

    What a dumb thing to say before a Test match, totally the wrong mindset and underestimating your opponent big time.

    ICC Greatest Test Team

    Yes that would be a simple solution, or just put together a panel of experts and weight their votes at 50% and the public votes at 50%.

    ICC Greatest Test Team

    People are stupid You can't call it a fair vote, there are more people in the sub-continent than anywhere else in the cricketing world.

    Would you have upheld the appeal?

    Bit of needle and particularly fight from the Indians would have been nice and spicy.

    Bellingham and smith cricket bat

    My first cricket bat was a B & S and it was crap, but it was a beginners one. I don't see many senior players using them, but if you like the feel of one and test it out in the nets and like it then go for it.

    Fast-bowling boots?

    I reckon that with new technology and tests the fast bowlers are using boots that go much higher up the ankle and leg for added protection. I have seen a pair of professional boots and they go well above the ankle, have a lot of strapping, are ridiculously comfortable inside, etc. I would...

    The "W" word

    A long way down if they can't produce some decent bowlers, I have no doubt they will be able to produce decent batsmen, but will they be Test match batsmen?

    Fire in Babylon : Review

    Didn't realise that, most of the footage in Fire in Babylon shows batsmen without helmets. I agree a good bouncer still puts a batsman in trouble (I know that from personal experience). But I still think that with a helmet on there would be less of a focus on the killer element of the bouncer...

    The "W" word

    Yep spinner needs to take wickets, I would have thought India would be able to produce quality spinners.

    Would you have upheld the appeal?

    That just further heightens the sporting gesture and to a new level.

    Zaheer Khan ruled out of England series,R.P Singh is the replacement

    Again more great preparation from the Indian camp.

    Is this Viral Kohli's moment?

    Raina Virat Kohli is clearly a better Test match batsmen than Raina, couldn't believe he wasn't picked even if he didn't make runs in the Windies. His proper technique is suited to batting against quality bowling in swinging + seaming conditions. Unlike Raina who prospers in India and the...

    The "W" word

    I like the look of Kumar in English conditions but he shouldn't take the wickets that Zaheer could, Harbhajan just bowls top spinners, Sharma has it in him. If Kumar and Sharma get it right and the spinner (whoever that will be) is effective as a wicket taker you never know. In the second test...
