    'Poppadom fingers' in modern times

    Would any test cricketer weather the inevitable Twitter storm if they used a term like 'poppadom fingers' to describe a cricketer of Indian origin today? Backstory: Nasser Hussain was given the nickname by the Australians in around 2001 after breaking yet another finger. All in all he suffered...

    Ban Question

    I for one am sick of getting second hand smoke on this forum and would like a ban similar to the ones found in Britain's pubs, clubs and rail stations. This would in turn lead to the reduction of fun and hi-jinks on the forum due to non-regulated nicotine abuse. Regards.

    Tour de France 2010

    Is that time of year again, starting in Holland for some reason (well, $$$ reasons). Contador will walk it unless he gets crashed into, so that's something to look forward to. Cavendish to win Green though. Moerk to disagree, but he thinks Hushovd deserved it last year despite whinging over...

    Association Football Draft

    All the other sports are having one.... I propose 1986 - Present due to '86 being a World Cup year. All those wanting in, pipe up.

    Birmingham Bears Aussie Rules team

    As a couple of you know, thanks to the indoctrination of CW i'm in the process of setting up an Aussie Rules team in Birmingham. We've been entered into the National Walkabout (who else) League for this season, starting 2nd May, to play other teams such as Manchester Mosquitos, Huddersfield...

    Ryder Cup

    Ryder Cup has started... Currently US 2 1/2 Europe 1/2 with only one of the morning fourballs remaining. Will be the first time the US have led after the morning fourballs since 1991 apparently.

    Jumping

    Isn't strictly a cricket question, although i suppose it could just about be used for fielding in some way, but is there any way to improve your achievable height whilst jumping upwards from a stand still?

    *Official* 2008 Tour de France Thread

    Well, it starts tomorrow/later, no prologue this year, so straight into things. Cadel Evans, Valverde and Menchov are the GC favourites. Cavendish is an outside tip for the Green, won't get it, but should get at least 1 stage win. Soler to walk the KotM if he wants it. http://ifarm.nl/tdf/...

    Me - My Team - Time Away

    I'm going to be living in a minibus at various locations around mainland europe for the next 5 weeks from Midnight tonight. Guess best thing to do is to just default to the First XI as i'm happy with how that's been doing anyway for the most part, any injuries or the like, use your judgement.

    Leg-side Batting

    Having a major problem with anything either pitching on leg or inswinging to leg. Hingston's bowling at the meetup is a fine example, but at Uni nets today fuller length stuff was doing the same. What's the best way to improve picking it up and then playing it for someone whose batting is mediocre?

    Poll.

    Important issues raised in the 'who's more aussie?' thread. Beevs or Dicko. Not fussed on what your vote is actually based on, be it - wit, northernness, cricket brain, bird loving skills or piper loving skills.

    Cup Opposition

    Pick and choose. The teams have been ordered according to quality. It's not supposed to be perfect as it's only a guide so some teams will have been underrated/overrated. The poll will stay open for 5 days which should easily be long enough and is public so everyone will know if someone votes...

    ***Official Cup Competition Discussion and Results***

    So then, the cup competition. My idea is to invite 20 teams from across the world of middling ability (i.e. not Champions League or even Premiership teams) to play against each other in the first round. This'll see 10 of those teams make it through at which point the CW Land teams are added in...
