    Do you go to office dressed up as Lady Gaga?

    As I am a guy, it isn't possible for me to dress up like her. So the answer is no.

    ***Official*** IPL match discussion thread

    Dhoni told in an interview that Kapu came onto bat when Dhoni was batting, it was the coach and not his idea to send him up the order.

    Shane Watson, you're a star

    In a team like Australia, where guys like David Hussey having a first class average of 56 don't make their international debut till the age of 29, Shane Watson made his debut at the age of 21. The selectors must have spotted something special in him to give him a break at such a young age. Hats...

    Who will end up having a more illustrious career?

    Harbhajan started his career at a young age and the 2001 series vs Australia will always be echoed in history as one of the best performances ever by an off spinner. Also, since Kumble is on the verge of retirement, he will become a permanent member of the team. Sreesanth has a lot of...

    Joginder Sharma vs Rikki Clarke

    Being a fan of the Devil Ducky, I should have opted for The Clarke. But then, he didn't bowl a slow wide ball in the final over of a WC which turned into a wicket, nor did he kept on looking at the batsmen with ball in hand instead of running out the batsman(L Shukla, CSK vs KKR, 26th April 2008).

    Which international players went to your school

    I studied in Dayanand Model School and Apeejay School, both in Jalandhar. Harbhajan Singh studied for a few months in Dayanand Model School, Jalandhar. It's another thing that he has studied in 10-12 schools, he used to change his school every year because of Cricket. Whichever school's...

    Vivian Richards vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Sachin Tendulkar. Viv Richards didn't have the pressure of 1 billion people when he came onto bat. Neither did he alone have to handle the entire mantle of the team when batting. In 2000 when Azharuddin, Jadeja and Prabhakar were accused of match fixing, the bookies told that Sachin never took...

    Indian Premier League

    Maybe the WI Cricket Board feels that if a group of young Indian players could defeat the Australians, then a group of young West Indian players can also repeat the same act.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    See, India has won many series before, but here it just wasn't about 22 players on a field with sticks and bails. The way certain players like Ponting, Hayden, Symonds and Clarke behaved, it wasn't in favour of the game. They were behaving as if they are the king of the world and the young...

    Should Jayasuriya retire?

    He should retire only after Sri Lanka finds a suitable replacement for him. Even if not in form with the bat, he brings a lot of exprience and motivation to the side.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    Agree, but Ponting didn't live up to what he said. Probably he meant that he'll score 2 runs in the final sans any boundary. Sachin also told a fan that India may wrap up the series before the 3rd match, and look at the way he performed.

    Do some players get under-rated sometimes on basis of nationality?

    Yes, some players do get under-rated. Had I been born in Somalia, I'd have been playing for the national team.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    LOL @ Hayden and Symonds!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Ponting as well, he wrote in a column two days ago that India will lose 2-0. Way to go, Chak De India!

    If you could get rid of one thing from the cricketing scene...

    Gun thread, Zac. I'd go with Sledging, as Cricket is known to be Gentlemen's Game. Franchise Leagues are good as they bring in the money which is required for developing quality coaching facilities and stadiums. Batsmen friendly pitches should be there, as there as several bowler friendly...

    cricketers after retiring

    This is because their body is used to doing so much physical excercise in order to stay in shape, and when they don't do that their body loses shape. If you look at recent pics of Azharuddin, you'll observe that he is as fit now as he used to 10 years ago. The reason is that he goes to the gym...

    When do you think Ajit Agarkar will make his return to the international circuit?

    No idea, but it shouldn't be too far, considering the fact that both teams haven't played against each other for quite a while.

    When do you think Ajit Agarkar will make his return to the international circuit?

    With Ishant and Pathan establishing themselves as India's key medium pacers and Zaheer Khan about to return, plus the advent of Sreesanth and Munaf, AA's return doesn't seem likely in the near future. When do you think he'll return?

    Who will get to 50,000 posts first?

    Agree with you. Richard has had his fair contributions to CW and he must be appreciated for them, a week's ban shouldn't make us think that he is that kind of guy. BTW, I am also backing Marc's return, though I doubt if he has any idea about why we all want him to be back.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Well said Uncle! Also, Zac, right on! aussie_26, I am not following this thread much so may not be able to reply to you, but will just say one thing. Win is a win, no matter what. Of the other 9 test playing nations, only India could achieve it.
