    Brad Haddin

    What are your thoughts?? I think he isn't really a test quality keeper, and at his age, he isn't going to become one any time soon. Granted, he adds a lot with the bat, but he seems to let through an amazing amount of opportunities AND byes.

    Ashes on FTA TV??

    Any news on whether the Ashes is going to be picked up on Free-to-air TV like the SBS did last time?? Thoughts would be towards One HD considering that's up and running now. 9 won't take it.

    The death

    You're the captain, it's a 50 over match, the other team needs 10 runs off the last over. Pick any bowler in history - living or dead - to bowl that last over. Who would you choose??

    Damien Fleming

    I feel that Fleming seems to be one of the forgotten bowlers in Australian cricket. I reckon he could have easily played a lot more test matches than he did and he was a very handy member of the Aussie team when he did represent the country. Just a little note to ensure Flemo that he isn't...

    Australia's Dominance

    Mainly for those who watch Aussie Internationals often. Yes, I am happy that we are winning, but there is just nothing, NOTHING from the opposition. The entertainment value I think is dwindling. It still leaves me satisfied that Australia wins, but in all honesty, I went to watch decent...

    Playing spin bowling

    I do ok against fast men if they keep the ball pitched up, being a front foot player; but I'll be buggered as soon as a spinner comes on I am in all sorts. The ones that especially get to me are off spinners who get good bounce. Are there any tips to playing better against spin? Is it more a...

    AFL Trade Week

    So, with trade week done and dusted, what are your thoughts on your supported teams trades?? I support the Tigers. Jordan McMahon seems a little bit like one of them iffy players. If he gets it right, he'll be a gun; but if he doesn't, he'll be delisted in the next 2 years, and I hate that...

    Is Shane Watson's Career Over?

    With another SOFT injury to Watto, this bloke seems chronic and should stop wasting CA's time, tbh. Go home, go back to playing on matting, give it up. It's over. However, he'll be on CA's books for another 37 years.

    Afridi 50 off 13

    Afridi has scored a half-century off just 13 deliveries in Pakistan's victory over Uganda in a Twenty20 match earlier today. Pakistan ended up scoring 226 for the loss of 3 wickets, with Salman Butt also contributing with a not out 74. Uganda were 78/7 at the close of their innings...

    Name sports you cannot bear to watch

    Thought it'd be interesting for a thread on people's most hated sports that they absolutely CANNOT watch under any circumstances. I'm thinking more mainstream, not things like synchronised swimming or equestrian. For me, basketball is an absolute shocker, so is field hockey; just can't do it!!

    Bracken's test chances

    Anyone else reckon, that now with the retirement of McGrath, Nathan Bracken might be a chance to make it into the test side? I mean, look at his form of late, I know a lot of people don't like to compare OD and 5-day, but honestly he's gotta be right up there. How was his FC season?? The bloke...

    Wanted: Melbourne Northern Metro cricketers...

    I am trying to get 2 teams together to play cricket during the off season as I know of some unused grounds that will probably leave their wickets uncovered (hopefully, anyway). Point is they will probably be played every second Saturday in the Ivanhoe and Thomastown areas. If anyone is...

    Cricketing terms

    As someone interested in word origins in general, and also one whose favourite sport and hobby is cricket; I am very intreagued as to the origins of some cricketing terms we see in the sport. Bowling terms such as "chinamen" and "yorker", even the name of some of the fielding positions "silly...

    Unwanted ticket for MCG Day 3

    G'day folks, Decided a few weeks ago I no longer want my day 3 ticket to the Boxing Day test. Rather than put it on the black market, I've decided to offer it here to anyone who wants it. $40 -- face value Section Q55; Row K; Seat 13. It's a concession ticket so I don't know if you'll need to...

    Dunno if this has been done before but does cricket warrant a place in the Olympic Games. Yay or nay??
