    ODI cricket - T20 without the excitement?

    Well i'm obviously putting myself firmly in the category of old f*rt, but am i the only one who now finds ODI cricket increasingly boring and one dimensional, who struggles to see "excitement" in something where it is largely artificially generated and to the detriment of a contest. Although...

    Fletcher - the alternative perspective

    Reports coming out this morning suggesting that Fletcher has not been totally happy with the team selection on this tour, and that Flintoff is the man primarily responsible for the selectorial element of this disaster. This is not a such a ridiculous assertion and can actually be fairly easily...

    What yesterday showed - the final proof

    Flintoff's fitness

    It's not going to happen, is it? Just like Beckham in 2002, and Rooney in 2006 England are going to go into a major sporting contest disrupting their team for a player who is not 100%.

    Richard

    Can you stop resurrecting threads from 2 months ago? Not only is it pointless - few people can remember exactly what they wrote 2 months ago, or especially, exactly the reason why they wrote it. They certainly can't be bothered to read back through the whole thread to try and work these things...

    A battle for the soul of Australian cricket

    I would be interested in the thoughts of Australians about a possible crossroads (might it exist?) in the WAY that Australia play their cricket. I do not think it would be going too far that this tour represents the final end of the "Border approach" to test cricket. When histories are written...

    Interesting question on the laws of cricket

    It appears that in a further demonstration of Australian professionalism Brett Lee was sent out to bat as nigh****chman at the fall of the 5th wicket. He had made about 5 steps onto the field when... the umpires called time. Will he have to bat tomorrow morning?
