    Test Cricket: The Best

    I think the last eight Tests involving Australia have been some of the best I have had the pleasure of watching. The reason for this must be the pitches which are actually favouring – slightly – the bowlers. This means the ‘flat track bullies’ and those with poor techniques are being exposed...

    Poll Changes

    Was wondering if we could make a slight change to the way the poll works on CW. Atm the poll records votes alphabetically. This makes it hard to work out who was the latest member to vote. To give an example the Sobers V Imran vote was 16-8 after my posts supporting Sobers it changed to 16-11...

    *Official* Road to the 2010/11 Ashes

    I have been waiting for James to start the next Ashes Official thread:-O Is it too early? Am I the only one excited enough, who wants to start talking about it now? Is Ricky going to retire if Aust win? Is it going to be all over by Melbourne again? Can this thread be deleted as...

    When 50= Greatness

    Listening to the ABC radio and they were talking about how many players now average above 50, and how right through history 50 meant great. In the 70s there were only four who averaged 50+ now there must be close to a dozen. They also said that Johnson will be the bowler who has taken the most...

    20/20 Hype

    I have not watched any of the 20/20 WC (is that the correct name:unsure:), but I would still like to have some sort of interest :) So lets pick a team that were never given the chance of playing the 20/20 format, but which would be very hard to defeat if given the opportunity:cool: I will...

    Brains Trust

    OK this is a thread to ask questions that are of no interest to anyone but me:p (and maybe someone else:unsure:) The first question:) In 1893 the MCC sent a letter to the ACC (Aust. Cricket Council) telling them that they were considering changing the law so that a side that was 80 behind on...

    20-20 Saves ODI

    I think people started to get bored with ODI because it was predictable during the middle overs, but now that players can score so quickly in the 20 over game, it will start costing teams ODI matches if they take their foot of the accelerator (spelling) even just for five overs it may cost them...

    Ponting The Captain

    I must admit I have never been impressed with Ponting the captain, even when Aust are winning, but especially when they are struggling. I would rate him well below Waugh and Taylor And no one loves the little devil more than me:)
