    Apparently released last week. Anyone have it or played it? Thoughts?

    Just bought this for my 8 and 10 year old

    Basically a ball on a stick. I cant imagine why everyone doesnt have one - perhaps they do and it has just passed me by until now. Anyway, no more balls on disk cones for drives. Can easily replicate any shot. Will report back if it is worth it...

    Why not Test cricket in Gibraltar?

    We all know it gets cold in England in the winter and dark very early. Wouldnt it be great if England could squeeze in an extra Test without condensing the FC calander and tap into the revenue from the English supporters to travel the globe to watch England play? Why not play an annual Test in...

    Article Suggestion

    Bleacher Report is normally **** but this is one of the better things I have read there. Dreams to Dust: Life After Football for the Future Stars Who Never Quite Made It | Bleacher Report Could CW do a cricket one? If so, I would love to read. Anyone know where Giles Haywood is?

    Interested in your opinion on a choice I need to make

    I used to be a tidy cricketer. I still believe I am but have not played a serious game in 3 years since..well some of you know what happened to my face. Anyway, I have been in Trinidad 6 weeks or so and have been doing the usual rounds of getting to know people. I want to play decent cricket...

    10 Years On

    I thought I'd have a look at what appeared to be the busiest thread on CW 10 years ago. Surprising at the number of guys still around today and a very sad reminder of what tragically happened to Craig. http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/9907-cricket-s-nicest-guys.html

    Ten Cricket

    Where I currently live I can get Ten Cricket as an add on channel - I forget exactly how much it is but it isn't that expensive. The question is, is the channel any good? Flicking through the guide it seems like a lot of 'old' cricket - which would be great if that meant Tests from the 50s and...

    Pick 'em

    For each pair pick one from either column A or B to make, in your opinion, the best Test XI. Once selected you can rearrange the batting order. Apologies for formatting errors, spelling mistakes, ill balanced lists and lack of imagination as I am on my phone and in the pub. Column A...

    CW Meet Up - Barbados May 1-5 2015

    I am in Trinidad for the next few years but unfortunately England do no play here during there next tour of the West Indies in early 2015. Barbados is less than a 1 hour flight away and I am thinking of going - especially as it is a very popular location for English cricket fans to tour. Is...

    Pakistan in UAE, Where Would Your Back-Up Be?

    If your country was forced to play Tests in a non-Test playing country, where would be the most logical choice? I suppose for England it would have to be Ireland. Close proximity, easy to travel to, same time zone etc.

    Your Nation As... England as the WWE

    Possibly the worst thread I have started. Take a suspect idea while bored but not bored enough to do it justice or well. :dry: Any way. England as the WWE. Alistair Cook Not the best in the world but very close and is trying to get back to where he was a year ago. The most consistent and...

    The Other Leg Theory

    It has been a long time since I have taken my umpires exam but I can't see why, under the laws of the game, this has not been tried before - at least in desperation. Why not a right arm quick go round the wicket, pack the leg side field and bowl full tosses on middle and leg to the right handed...

    If Australia win the first Test...

    Will they win the series? England are favorites, Aus won the first Test in 2005 and we all know what then happened but a win could settle an awkward looking Australian squad and set them up for the rest of the series.

    A Single Test or Fifty ODIs?

    As most of us are social cricketers and will never get close to international cricket; given the choice of a career at the top level, would you rather play a solitary Test and no ODIs or 50 ODIs and no Tests. For me it isn't even close. A single Test would be special. The top of the mountain...

    Do Over

    There are countless players who didn't fulfill the expectations we had. It could be for any number of reasons. Who would you back to succeed now after they had a less than illustrious playing career? Lots to choose from but try and limit it to one otherwise we will be listing all SA crickets...

    The Great Leap Forward

    A subjective question, but in your opinion which decade since 1900 saw the biggest leap forward in cricket compared to the one that preceded it? You can take anything into account including playing standards, playing conditions, law changes. I'll throw the 90s into the mix. The 80s were...

    English County Cricket - Most Consecutive Seasons 1500+ runs at over 50

    I thought I'd have a quick look to see who had the longest streak. This is by no means comprehensive so if anyone can find other then please do. Consecutive English Seasons 1500+ runs at average over 50 Hobbs - 9 Gooch -7 Hick - 5 (all before Test debut) Boycott - 4 (all after last Test)...

    A Question For Indians

    I live in Malaysia where approx 10% and 2.5 million of the pop are Indian Malaysian. There is very little interest in cricket in this large group of people. I assume that it is because their families have been here for close to 200 years and they are still relatively disadvantaged people. That...

    Heaven vs Earth Vowels Only

    It is easy to pick the best. They speak for themselves. Here are my XIs for last names beginning with vowels. Also an attempt to throw the names of good cricketers out there who may not otherwise make all time XIs. Y only counts if it is a soft Y For those who will be disappointed if they read...
