    What is wrong with Paul Collingwood?

    It's pretty simple - he can only bat when the pitch is dead flat. Put any sort of pace or movement in the wicket and he's just another tail ender. Look at the tons he's scored: 134* n/o vs india - 1273 runs scored in total, match drawn...other centurions - 2 (although there were 4 other...

    I'm dissappointed with England, 5-0 - McGrath

    My favourite is the one about Flintoff being the world's greatest player. Flintoff - can't bat, bowl, field or captain. All round useless. One series doesn't make a player great....but one series can really make a player look ordinary. Back off on McGrath - I can't remember him making any...

    ***Official*** 5th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground

    Even if we do bowl them out for around 300, which is very possible if we strike early tomorrow, I think 300 is pretty good on this pitch. It didn't look all that easy for batting out there...certainly easier than Melbourne, but I think if you bowl well enough you can get the wickets. Dam i...

    If Vaughan, Trescothick and Jones had been fit England would have won.

    Vaughan has been out of form for ages, Trescothick can barely lift a bat these days, and Jones would've had no more success than Mahmood or Anderson considering they've had zero success getting the Kooka to reverse. Making assumptions that these guys would've all fired if included is way off...

    Why do Aussies hate murili?

    It's because he has had his action queried countless times - he's been called for chucking....it's not a once off - there hasn't been a year go by in his career where people haven't queried his action. He has never had his action officially cleared - his doosra has always been judged dodgy, his...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    Haha - hell yeah - I counted 3 "boofs" from Hayden to Roy. Mind you that was with the super slow mo....in real speed you can see it's just him trying to get a better grip and keep the big unit in the air. But he does give him one last boof in the right buttock when he loses his grip....ahhh...

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    Here's a couple of day 4 photos. The first is just as Gilly takes the catch to dismiss cook late in the day - very flukey photography I tell you. The second is of GD McGrath on his way back to his fielding position after that crucial over, receiving a standing ovation from the members.

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    KP sure is a jet...wish his mum was aussie. I'm not sure what the world's bowlers are going to do to contain him, but i'm tipping it's going to take longer to sort this guy out than it took for people to sort Gilchrist out. What was he doing at the end though????? Why was he refusing...

    Aussie Public going soft?

    I think the team has gone soft on critising the opposition off the field...but on the field you can still hear warney and co ribbing each and every one of them and that's music to my ears. The media have been pretty harsh over here though I reckon, whilst still praising the few good english...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    KP is the best player of spin i've ever seen. But you know it's not his great technique - it's his bravery to hit them out of the attack. He takes huge risks and it doesn't always pay off - but when it does, he reaps the benefits of the bowler having to bowl unthreatening deliveries for the...

    The Barmy Army

    Let's be honest - you can only get so much "barmy army...barmy army...barmy army...repeat 1000x" before you get really annoyed. There isn't great variety, and quite frankly there's a distinct lack of nice looking women amongst them to at least please the eyes. As they are scattered about their...

    ***Official*** Tour Games

    Good to see Marsh get some runs - that guy should be one of our premier batsmen in a few years if he can stay fit.

    Umpires Announced

    All I can say is I wish they'd agreed to let hawkeye/tv make the decisions for them

    ***Official*** 1st Test at The Gabba

    I reckon the English team should be: Strauss Tresc Cook Bell Pietersen Flintoff G Jones Mahmood Hoggard Panesar Harmison I think Read has already shown that he's not up to international standard. Jones played well in 2005 I reckon - sure he played some stupid shots at times and kept pretty...

    McGrath could play in 2009 Ashes

    the thing about Glenn is that he still hits that akward line and length 5/6 runs per over - it doesn't matter what pace your bowling at, and it appears he hasn't lost a lot anway - it's still bloody hard to score runs out of the corridoor of uncertainty. England are going to have to take...

    Group A - India, England, Australia, West Indies

    They use to say Australia's future looked bleak when the likes of McDermot were on the way out. A fast bowling lineup of Tait, Johnson and Lee could well be the most destructive fast bowling group we've ever had if they all stay fit. Watson was impressive last night and ive never said that...

    Smith issues warning to Flintoff

    it's all a load of ******** this racism stuff. I can't remember anyone complaining in the last decade except for the south africans...and the words that were thrown around were something like "k**** b**"...which was something directed at white south africans for supporting the black people in...

    Englands Weakest Link: Trescothick

    At least the aussie media is starting to fire a few shots back. Been boring as bat sh#t listening to all of the english garbage about aussies fearing the poms etc. How about McGrath's latest predictions? Absolute gold. He speaks the truth does pigeon, can't wait for him to send Bell back to...

    McGrath Goes The Full Monty

    I'm sure a few of the aussie players visited the shrink after last year... But I think that by seeing a psych, particularly before anything has been said, and announcing it to the media as if "I'll be ready you mean aussies"...just goes to show just how worried they really are.
