    Rules Question...

    This is an intersting one and was very close to what occured when Astle was dismissed first ball to put Vaas on a hat trick in the second test over in kiwi land. If the batsmen goes forward to defend the ball, the ball hits his knee flap and wedges the knee flap between bat and ball and the...

    Move over Gillchrist....

    The problem is that so many Indian cricketers have been wrapped as the next big thing only to dissapear totally 3 years later. There is a serious management problem in Indian cricket and has been for a long time.

    Dutch cricket

    there's not much you can do without the money these days. What other sports are played in Holland outside of soccer (which is pretty massive over there). There are some quite talented cricketers over there but the only thing you can do is just develop them and wait for a slice of luck - i.e...

    Cricket in Non-Test Nations

    I think the ICC has to put more into developing cricket nations. Just one of the thing's i would like them to do is a bit of "buddy" system i get. Basically, they'd pair up an associate/affiliate country with a state/provincial/county team and get the two to work together to develop the...

    **Official** New Zealand v Australia

    how long has the rule been in where the follow on changes if a day's play has been washed out??? I had never heard of it until this test?? personally, i don't like it.

    Michael Clarke - all hype, no performance

    I couldn't see Clarke getting dropped from the time but he does have to start performing again. He's having a bit of a down turn but i wouldn't get too worried just yet. He's such a promosing cricketer that it would be a bit silly to send him back to state level on the back of half a dozen...

    Worst Pace trio ever??

    The Windies in recent years have put some pretty shithouse attacks on the park. New Zealand have been average but theyre always been someone to bolster them - i.e. Cairns or Bond.

    Warne blasts Bracewell

    what your talking about there is really moulding a young cricket. Things like technique and actions in young guys is where coaching becomes important. But once guys make it through the ranks, they've got their own certain style of play and you can only offer little bit's of advice. I'm not...

    Warne blasts Bracewell

    Maybe he can't be blamed, but that's not my problem with him. My problem with him is the stupidity of him as a human being. On a sidenote, I think coaching in cricket is pretty irrelevant. If i wanted someone to have a look at my bowling action i'd take Glenn McGrath or Jason Gillespie's advice...

    Best Bowling-line up that played togather

    doubt it. he finished up in 1948, and that particular test was in 1954. Archer was a quality FC all rounder who had limited opportunities but did well at test cricket. Probably liken him to a bowling version of Simon Katich at the moment.

    Best Bowling-line up that played togather

    he didn't play in that test. In fact he didn't play in the 50's at all. BTW, being an Aussie we prefer to call him Ernie ;)

    Best Bowling-line up that played togather

    how bout this for a great bowling line-up: http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/1950S/1954-55/ENG_IN_AUS/ENG_AUS_T1_26NOV-01DEC1954.html Ray Lindwall (228 wkts at 23) 1945-60 Keith Miller (170 wkts at 22) 1945-56 Ron Archer (48 wkts at 27) 1952-56 Ian Johnson (109 wkts at 29) off...

    Warne blasts Bracewell

    very few have that have come out with the quality and quantity of JB's. Of course everyone says stupid things, but this guy takes the cake. And we've been subject to Kevin Sheedy. One of the great coaches, who's been in the AFL for 20 years and has made some quite strange post-match comments -...

    Best Bowling-line up that played togather

    if you want to look at great teams/bowling or batting combinations etc,. i think you have to look at it over at leat an 18 month period. In some respects this is where the Aus 48 team gets let down a bit in terms of talking about great teams, but that is a bit harsh on them because of the...

    Best Bowling-line up that played togather

    yep without a doubt the Windies of the early 80's. All of those original 3 mentioned are great, but i'd have this current Aus bowling line-up in front of the one around 1999 which had Lee in it. Back in 99, Lee was bowling better than Kasper, but Gillespie was still a bit green back then...

    *Official* Australia in decline thread

    The thing that sets Australia apart is the set up of cricket in this country, and the amount of money CA has in their accounts to pour into the sport. Unlike back in 48 when Australia were dominating, or the 80's when the Windies dominated, cricket wasn't proffesional then. Teams really didn't...
