    Ashes XIs - 2025/26

    With all of the talk about David Warner's position in the team, and some injuries to Australia's bowlers, I started wondering what Australia's squad will look like when England tour Australia in 3 years time. My best estimate for Australia's XI is: 1. Matt Renshaw 2. Will Pucovski 3. Marcus...

    Future Tours Programme 2019-2023

    Cricinfo have published a few articles about the FTP over the past week here and here. Whilst still in draft stage, it looks like Australia won't tour India until 2022-23 and they won't host South Africa until 2022-23 as well. No doubt each of the other nations will have their own grievances...

    Best grounds to watch cricket

    I've slowly been ticking off cricket venues and have to say that Lord's gets my #1 because it's like nowhere else. The champers, Pimms and quiet chatting amongst the crowd is still novel enough for me to think there is something magic about the place. The Gabba and the MCG are great venues if...

    George Bailey

    I know it's an opportune time to make this comment but how does this bloke get a guernsey? He's 30+ years old and averages ~ 38 in first class cricket. I don't buy that he is picked because of his form in India because he's surely lost that card by now. And what's the rationale for thinking...

    Too much bottomhand?

    I always tried to use more top hand by only using the thumb and index finger on my bottom hand. Recently when I've had a net every ball hurts the tendon between my thumb and forefinger as it makes contact with the bat. I figure there's something wrong with my grip and I'm gripping it too tight...

    Battle of the AFL Team Songs

    Quite a simple concept. Randomly generated a draw. No need for nominations as there's 16 teams. Round 1 Battle 1 Richmond v Geelong

    Australia's 3rd/4th bowling option?

    Here's a poll to see what fast bowlers you'd have in the test side. The place of Clark and Lee is well and truly secure but what about the other two spots? Play a spinner and one seamer or two seamers? Vote for who'd get the nod if you were in charge of selections.

    Finding a team in the middle of a season?

    Surely this is the wrong thread but I wouldn't get a response if I posted it in the Club Cricket forum. So I want to play a few games over Christmas and maybe until the end of the season next year. I've accepted that it may be hard as teams have been formed and thought I'd try and join the...

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    Reading over the Laws of Cricket there are some rules I think could be modified or removed entirely. The Kasprowicz incident as Edgbaston is one. Kasper's hand came off the bat, the ball then struck the hand and the catch was taken by Jones. According to the Laws of Cricket this should be not...

    New update

    Dire IMO. Although I like the multiquote option. Hate the blue line on the left hand side of a post.

    Preferred format for live sims

    Not sure where I should have posted this but I thought it would be a handy poll. How would you rather the live sims be done? I personally prefer MSN as I get more involved/interested in the game as it happens. On CricketWeb I just think...meh I'll look it up a bit later when the score...

    Stats Guru Comparisons

    I think Cricinfo's Stats Guru is a magnificent tool for comparing two players and their records. I'll start us off.... Laxman vs. Vaughan Similar number of matches. Similar averages. Vaughan has 400 more runs but the thing that seperates them is conversion rates. Both have good records against...

    The Next Big Thing: CricketWeb 'A' in the Caribbean

    November 27 So here I am in a cheap hotel room in Port-of-Spain. It’s not how I dreamed my first tour, sitting under a bedside lamp with mysterious stains on the bed. The place does have a unique charm, not unlike the sidewalk in a poverty-stricken village in Chennai. It’s painful enough...
