    Deja Vu?

    McGrath takes a bag of wickets in the first test.....wins man of the match........Australia home comfortably. Very familiar. All we need now is for him to step on a ball at Adelaide. Is history going to repeat itself? Will England bounce back? Never thought I'd find myself thinking it but I'm...

    Is Freddie the right man for the job?

    ...captaincy that is. I know I'm not quite in the same league as the man but in my experience as a bowler/captain the last thing I feel like doing during the middle of a long spell on a 40deg day is stand in the infield, setting fields and geeing up the side. I'll take fine leg anyday with a...

    Why didn't Ponting enforce the follow on?

    It's got nothing to do with wrapping McGrath in cotton wool or letting England bat on a day 4/5 deck. Surely the message came direct from the top: "We've got the ground sold-out for day 4.....let's make sure there IS a day 4"

    What's a Pakistani shirt worth?

    If I can buy an Australian One Day shirt for 40 pounds (or AU$100) and I can buy a Pakistani shirt for 20 pounds (or AU$35.99) does that mean I can buy 2 Pakistani shirts for AU$71.98 (or 40 pounds) and trade them for one Australian shirt which i can then sell for AU$100. I think I'm onto...

    5 things I don't expect to see

    Shoaib Akhtar to hit 100mph again Shane Watson to become a world class ODI opening batsman Monty Panesar to avoid being heckled by Australian crowds Warney to abstain from *** Mark Vermeulen to hit a test century

    Bit of a stretch isn't it Jonesy?

    Jones again expressed his remorse for the "terrorist" remark but said the comment was actually directed at Boje, the bowler, not Amla, the fieldsman, as most had assumed. "In the long run, I wasn't even really referring to him [Amla]," he said. "What was my comment? And who got the wicket? Amla...

    What is it with the Australian selectors and freakin' Simon Katich???????????

    How the hell can the selectors justify selecting him in ODI's game in, game out???? We're the world champs, we've got the best middle order by miles yet the selectors are determined to pick this dufus to get us off the slowest possible start and then try and bat through the innings (which he...

    Shane Watson is a tool

    .....and overrated and wins MOTM awards when he doesn't deserve them. Discuss.

    Poor old Warney

    Ponting pleads 'give us a break'.....give ME a break !!

    I love Punter as much as any Aussie cricket fan does but I don't want to hear that International cricketers play too much cricket - NOT FROM PUNTER OR NOT FROM ANYONE ! I say to Punter - STOP WHINGING....you're getting paid a fortune to entertain us, you've got a great life, you travel the...

    DIZZY - will he be dropped?

    When Dizzy was dropped in England I stated on this website that he will be in the Australian IX for the first Ashes test in Australia later this year. This comment was met with much hilarity by many a pom on this website. Question is - will he be selected? Stuart Clark has just come off a man...

    Hussey's average - How long do we have to wait?.......

    ........until his batting average is considered extraordinary? 2000 runs? 5000? I know 1000 odd isn't enough to deteremine where this man stands in history but how many does he have to score? I say if he's still averaging 75 when he's hit 4000 runs then he's the greatest batsman since Bradman.

    The Greats

    Not long ago (six months?) someone started a thread with the same title as this one asking who in the current era people considered as the 5 greats. Names such as Warne, Tendulkar, Lara etc were regularly thrown up. I included Ponting and was rubbished by most people. Just wondering if...

    Prediction

    Unless Ponting continues the way he is going, Mike Hussey will be the number 1 batsman in the world by the end of this year. There isn't a batsman in the world at the moment (Ponting included) that looks more solid from ball 1 than Hussey. The guy has no flaws and an impeccable technique...

    Is This Where One Day Cricket Is Heading?

    I'll remember this Aus v SA game as long as I live The result had nothing to do with Choking, this game showcased the best sustained batting/hitting in the history of one day cricket without a doubt. The whole game had a surreal feeling like none other I have ever seen. It was literally 20/20...

    World Cup - Australia first.... daylight second

    Can anyone seriously see any side getting close to Australia in the World Cup if they play anywhere near their ability in all games? The only side that will beat Australia is Australia. Obviously this is coming from a one eyed Australian but frankly I'm not bothered who wins it as I have no...

    Who will make a big impact in 2006?

    2005 had Flintoff, Pietersen and the like with some others like Akmal and Hussey making their mark late in the year. Who will be the stars of 2006? For me I'm expecting a big year from the following: Hussey Akmal Pathan Akhtar Ponting Fulton to name a few

    I'm sure this has been done before but anyway..........

    How would Bradman fare if his career was taking place now instead of when it did? Would he stand out like he did and would he average 99? I know he played on uncovered wickets, without decent protective gear etc etc but still........how would he go now (as a 20-30 year old not a dead 90 year...
