    The Australian team - A disgrace to the game

    agree witty comments that get under the batsmen skins rather than abusive comments are what i prefer to use. And for the most part they are much more affective. But the thing is some people aren't like that and have thin skins and get upset when people start saying stuff like that. Your right...

    WI of the 80's or Australia Current?

    it would be an interesting battle for sure. The two big things: "The Australian batting line-up would've never faced a four pronged attack as strong as the West Indians where all four bowlers could potentially win the match for them" but "The West Indies bowling line-up would've never faced...

    The Australian team - A disgrace to the game

    have only just entered this thread (can't remember if i've posted on it before, but if i did it would've been a while ago) so don't know what has been said but anyway, here goes. Just because the Australian's sledge, doesn't mean it is neccesarilly racist sledging. Every now and then it does go...

    Does Chaminda Vaas chuck?

    i dont even think Vaas gets close to throwing and i was shocked when he was put on that "supposed list".

    Biggest hit you've ever seen.

    well the biggest hit i've ever seen was in a local first grade match, so i'm going to assume no one here was at that particular ground that day, so this may be a little hard to explain to people. I'm sure there have been bigger hits (couldn't imagine to much bigger) but personally have never...

    South Australia all out for 29 v NSW

    yes but if you check the times this one was first ;);) anyway, moving along, NSW are 0/16. I live about 5 minute walk from the cricket ground so i'm gonna go head over in a couple of hours and i'll give you guys the low down on the pitch. don't care how bad it is but getting bundled out for 29...

    Will The Toss Decide The Fate Of A Test Match..indian Cricket On The Back Foot:

    in general test wickets should provide a contest that gives both batsmen and bowler a chance. A bit of grass on the deck, particularly in the areas in line with stumps, is always good. Wicket must always be flat. And typically a wicket will start to crack up and dry up on the last two days and...

    Favourite Cricket Picture

    can't be bothered to go search for pics, but didn't think it would take 79 posts for the Javed Maindad-Dennis Lillee incident to arise. And didn't think it would take 83 for some too mention the first tied test photo. It's soo famous i don't think there is a need to put a link to it.

    Match Fixing?

    I'd like to think Match Fixing isn't a problem, but sometimes it can be hard to believe...... We do put it down to just a collective group of individuals who all had an off day, and 99% of the time i reckon that is what happened. But it wouldn't suprise me in the slightest to discover some...

    Breaking News - Ganguly Dropped ???

    my first reaction when i saw at and Dean Jones asked Dravid "what is wrong with Sourav" and his response was along the lines of "yeaahh...ummm...he's just got a big of...ahhh....a..umm..leg problem....." I don't think he would have been dropped. My first theory was he has had a huge dummy spit...

    Whos the better off spinner, Muralitharan or Laker?

    yeah not much difference, but it's still good fun to have some topical debate and see some opinions out there.

    Whos the better off spinner, Muralitharan or Laker?

    always liked O'Reilly. Warne, O'Reilly and Grimmett (who knows what this guy could've done if he was given the approriate opportunities) pretty much all have their own things that they bring to a team. I just reckon O'Reilly has conquered on all pitches, whereas Warne hasn't quite done it in...

    Whos the better off spinner, Muralitharan or Laker?

    was having a bit of an argument as to an all time XI on another forum, and the debate is who the better spinner is - Murali or Laker. For mine it is Laker, this is the extract of my post with my reasonings for this decision. ------------------------------------------------ In terms of off...

    Gary Kirsten : the whistleblower

    yeah i played in the CAS (another private school) competition in Sydney. We used to get stuck into each other a fair bit. Coming in at number 9 those days, i used to let the bowler know if i was hitting him around. You could always pick the best bowlers to give it too - if they were prone to a...

    Sri Lanka in Australia thread

    107 wkts at 15.66 from 16 tests definetaly helps. Do you think he's rest time would've been better utilised against Zimbabwe or Australia?? has nothing to do with whether he chucks or not.

    Sri Lanka in Australia thread

    well for mine Murali has taken the soft option. He needs a rest apparentally. Wouldn't one think it better to take the rest against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh whom his teammates would flog either way. Thus leaving him fit and firing for an assault on Australia?? Crickets ultimate challenge at the...
