    Whatever happened to Ashton Agar?

    After watching a young barely 20 something Agar slap nearly 100 coming in at number 11 for Australia last year, I was thinking I might see more of him in the future. I heard he wasn't up to scratch with the ball, but has ever such an incredible performance led to such a narrow career? Or am I...

    Why does cricket need a strong West Indies?

    I keep hearing time and time again that the West Indies decline has been such a shame and that in order for test cricket to flourish, it needs a strong West Indies team. I hear it in particular from Ian Chappell who must have faced a few decent West Indies quicks. I don't understand why cricket...

    I want to attempt a world record

    Okay I've had this idea for a while. I want to break the world record for net batting, I hear this was done earlier this year at the Loughborough school.. Anyone who has met me knows I enjoy batting and batting, and while not gifted with bags of talent, and being bowled by one of Goughy's 13...

    In the event Cook's back gives out

    Who would/should be captain? Despite batting all day yesterday he looked very stiff between the wickets, and surely a whole day in the middle wouldn't have done him much good.

    India news: Kids shouldn't "sell themselves short" with T20 - Rahul Dravid | India Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo This guy is such a hero.. Absolutely brilliant and honest player, and then he comes up with this, eloquently put piece, which manages to big up the purest form of the game without...

    Who cares about a strong West Indies?

    I recently heard a spokesperson for the ECB explain how it was important for the game that cricket is strong in the Caribbean and was shocked at how the ECB actually pledge some sort of funding to the WICB in order to pull their cricket out of the situation it finds itself in. This is connected...

    Adrian Shankar

    Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but what a bizarre story about a player faking his way to the top of the game.. Reminds me of Ali Dia County news: Exposed Shankar released by Worcestershire | Cricket News | County Cricket 2011 | ESPN Cricinfo

    Hansiegate versus Spot fixing

    Which event left you feeling more depressed for the state of the game? I was a kid when Hansie came to light (or to the dark side).. But I remember being really affected by his plane crash. Something about there not really being any closure to the whole affair because of his death.. This whole...

    Your favourite "random" team

    Chile Without the best fans we have had visit South Africa.. Of course there are nice people everywhere, but I've never seen such a massive group of people as a collective be such good ambassadors for their country.. Didn't think I would be holidaying in Santiago this summer, not to mention...

    Advice/Accomodation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup

    Should probably have put this in the World cup thread but I imagine the event will have its own forum before long.. Nothing concrete is planned yet, I don't even know if I'm going to be taking a trip to England during it, but me and a friend are planning to let our house out to anyone...

    Bangladesh agree to day-night Test in England | Bangladesh Cricket News | Cricinfo.com What is the point in this anyway? Why can the authorities never address the key issues? 1/ England and Australia are currently blowing off Ashes steam by playing a pointless 7 ODI's against each other 2/...

    Donating Cricket Equipment

    Obviously this is very niche, as we have about one other SA poster on here, and I'm also looking at Goughy who used to live here.. Basically my club is getting rid of a load of old, but perfectly decent kit, and I'm looking for a needy school/club in preferably the Eastern/Western Cape or...

    "Connection Reset By Peer (104)"

    What does "Pigeon Toed" mean?

    I keep hearing this from the British Radio commentary feed.. They only use it to describe Graham Onions or Glenn mcGrath.. I have never heard of it anywhere else and they never seem to hint at what they might be talking about.. Can anyone shed any light on it, and why do they only use it during...

    County/State/IPL cricket using the "border rule"

    I've been interested in seeing what the makeup of different teams would be if a rule was suddenly implemented that a player has to have been born in the state/county/provincial limits in order to play for said team/franchise. Which teams would weaken massively? Which would be strengthened? I'm...
