    Which batsmen scored the most memorable Test centuries in history?

    I'm hating that I put so many Australians in this list. But I must say they stood out to me. 9. VVX Laxman Made perhaps the most memorable Test innings in Indian history, and saved a Test and Series that Australia thought they wrapped up. 8. Ricky Ponting His 2005 3rd Ashes Test innings was...

    Great Players Who Are Difficult To Compare With Other Great Players

    WASIM AKRAM v GLENN MCGRATH I hate comparing these two guys. Akram was definitely the more exciting player. He could swing the ball both ways. It's said he was a bit like Keith Miller in that he only needed a few steps to generate 140km. Wasim had the whippy actions. The thing about Wasim is...

    Who belongs on cricket's Mount Rushmore?

    Who belongs on cricket's Mount Rushmore? This is an exercise I got from a NFL show that talked about which faces you should associate with American football. For example, let's take professional wrestling (or "sports entertainment). I don't regard Hulk Hogan as a good wrestler. He's very...

    Is Mitchell Johnson like Dennis Lillee or Jeff Thompson?

    I don't think it matters which country you're from. If you're not enjoying Mitchell Johnson right now, you're not a cricket fan. He's hit rare form and really is the most entertaining cricketer out there right now. So here's my question: Is Mitchell Johnson a bowler more akin to Dennis Lillee...

    So who's going to win tomorrow? (4th Test, final day)

    Who will win tomorrow? The last two Ashes series have been weird. In England I thought it was much closer than 3-0 suggested. In short, 3-0 was absolutely the best result England could have achieved. Australia would have won the third Test, and while the first Test was a bit flukey with Agar...

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    I'm uncertain if there's a thread to discuss this, so please can some moderator subsume this into another discussion if I'm repeating something. I love intimidating cricket. What I loved about Mitchell Johnson's bowling in this Test was that it was intimidating. England needed to send a message...

    The value of Anil Kumble was underestimated

    I've been watching plenty of cricket lately. I watched Australia bat better than South Africa in two Tests, and saw them unable to finish them off in the second Test. I saw them beat a very bad Sri Lankan side, but only barely, in Hobart. One thing kept popping into my head: We never fully...

    Best bowling actions ever

    What are your favourite bowling actions and why? Here are some of mine… Wasim Akram The first thing to note about Wasim’s bowling action is it made him seem faster than he was, and he was fast enough to begin with! Consider Brett Lee for a moment. Brett Lee in his prime was extremely fast, but...

    Great series that between India and OZ

    In the last few years I've had a declining interest in cricket, which is sad because for most of my life it's been my number one sport. My declining interest can be attributed to a number of factors: The 2007 World Cup A horribly long, slow, boring World Cup. There was no emotion from the...

    How to ignore people?

    If there's a poster here who's annoying me, and I'm not saying there is, and I want to put him on ignore, how would I go about doing that? I have absolutely no idea how to use the ignore function so you'd have to go through the process methodically with me.

    A different side to Matthew Hayden

    This video shows a diffrent side to Matthew Hayden... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldvq3HlKKLI Quite frankly I don't know what to write about that video, but it's worth a look.

    What's sports do you play?

    What's sports do you play? Right now I'm playing rugby and tennis and trying to balance both while living a hectic life. I'm pretty good at tennis but my game's gone down a bit in the past few years for whatever reason. I'm very much a confidence player. The thing I love about tennis, aside...

    Murali vs. Kumble (right now)

    Just to make things clear, I don't think Kumble is as great as Murali or close to being as great as Murali, this thread is simply questioning who's better right now. Two best bowlers in the world today. I think Kumble is slightly better right now. You can't compare the two very easily because...

    Sri Lanka lead the world...

    ... in sportsmanship. Did anybody see Sangakkara have that little chat with Rudi Koertzen after this last Test versus Australia? The dude seemed so breezy and he just accepted it! Smiles and everything! And that's not the first time I've seen a Sri Lankan act so well. Mahela Jayawardene's...

    Jonny Wilkinson - how good is he?

    How much praise does Jonny deserve for England's success in this world cup? You just know if England win people will be all like, "He lit up the world cup like last time etc." But in all honesty, I think he hasn't been that influential in England's success. His kicking hasn't been great... I...

    Best three teams for each country ever...

    After the boring world cup ruined my interest in cricket for a short period, the competitive series between England and India has rekindled it... BEST THREE TEAMS FOR EACH COUNTRY EVER! I'll start with Australia since it's the easiest... 1. 1948 Invincibles Pretty easy really. Any team with...

    Graeme Mourie

    I've been watching some old rugby footage lately and I'm somewhat intrigued by Graeme Mourie, not so much by his excellent play as a breakaway, but more because I don't hear much about him. Graeme Mourie, what do New Zealanders think of him? This is probably best done with a questionaire... 1...

    Does anybody dispute this about Bill O'Rielly?

    Originally I was going to ask, does anybody dispute that Bill O'Rielly is the third best spinner ever since I think most people would have Warne and Murali (in any order) as the top two best spinners ever. But there's one or two people here who think O'Rielly is one of the ten best cricketers...

    The Ten Best Cricketers Of All Time

    Hopefully this thread can exist without getting out of control. This is definitely a contentious issue where there were be posters completely opposed to some of the selections. But it'll be interesting to get everybody's point of view I think. The Ten Best Cricketers Of All Time Firstly I want...
