    Australia lack world class batting talent

    Australia are going to lose this Ashes. And it is because their batting isn't good enough. The holes in their batting were glossed over in this home summer's success but they have always been there. It's not hard to see why: 1) Warner is formidable in Australia but an average player outside...

    Dammit ....when will the revival happen ?

    My childhood favorite sporting team - the mighty West Indies. The only reason I got somewhat distracted from my beloved field hockey to this bloody sport was the West Indies - not even Pakistan enthralled me as much as watching Richie, Curtly , Ian Bishop and co. Loved watching Curtly putting...

    Now or never for Kiwis

    Ok maybe the never is a slight exaggeration but this is easily the best chance NZ have ever had to win a world cup and probably the best chance they'll have until the next time the circus comes down under. -- playing all games (barring the final) at home --- a very experienced squad with the...

    Is Brad Haddin the best keeper Australia have ?

    When Australia picked a couple of 35 year olds after the India tour this year for the Ashes in England, I was bemused. For a team that really needs to look forward, it seemed a short sighted move to me. Rogers I guess you could understand the logic behind the selection given the lack of...

    West Indies will rise to the top again

    Why you say ? Well two reasons - after many, many years - there are numerous promising fast bowlers in the region now. Roach, Delorn Johnson, Jason Holder, Jason Dawes, Carlos Braithwaite, Beaton , Jermain Jones, Kevin Mclean. At the u-19 wc, the West Indies quicks terrified the Aussie batsmen...

    Should Virat Kohil replace Dhoni as the Indian T20 captain ?

    Jono's heart flutters as someone else broaches the subject of his man being numero uno. But seriously, with India's failure in the past three T20 WC, should Dhoni be replaced as captain at least in the t20 format for starters by Kohli ? Kohli obviously being the long term (or maybe not so...

    Tendulkar is selfish

    Doubtless many Indians here will have their feathers ruffled but the truth is SRT is basically standing standing in the way of young players like Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma by prolonging his career. A batsman of his stature really ought to take a leaf out of Rahul Dravid's book and...

    Why Indians are not picking Varun Aaron ?

    Surprised Aaron wasn't picked on either the India A tour of West Indies or the Indian team to Sri Lanka. He is probably the quickest bowler India have ever produced and they're not investing in him :wacko: I know Pews the Baulko boy will chirp in with his oh but look at his first class record...

    So I guess England won't rule and dominate world cricket after all

    Remember what was said in the wake of England's 3-1 win down under and their 4-0 win at home against India. "England will be like Australia of the early 2000's" - Vaughan crowed "England are a great side in the making" - Boycott huffed "England are unstoppable" - our own GIMH (hello Sweetheart...

    Why did Australia hire Tim Nielsen and Greg Chappell to be their coaches ?

    Tim Nielsen is the national coach and Chappell is the academy director. Both of them were spoken of very poorly as coaches when they were in charge of South Australia in the 1990's.

    MS Dhoni as a test wicketkeeper

    I know there are a number of people on this forum that rate Dhoni poorly as a test player. Questions I have are this: 1) Is his "poorness" exaggerated somewhat - I think his wicketkeeping looks competent enough and the guy does average ~ 35 . I do believe he possesses the highest test...

    Do you think Brad Haddin will be as a good a test batsman as Gilchrist ?

    Haddin must be a very good player if he can average 40+ in teh Aussie domestic comp. I haven't seen him play much ....how do you guys rate him vis a vis Gilchrist ?

    Why are England not in the top 3 teams of test cricket ?

    The general feeling in the cricket community is that England's first class system is only bettered by Australia's. If that's the case, why are England not even in the top three test teams in the world ?
