    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    That 3rd umpire decision was the worst thing I've ever seen, surpasses that ****** in 1986 (yes, I went there anyway).

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    Oh, bugger. Hate those Brisbane downpours (for cricket's sake - I realise a lot of people won't be complaining). Just read that Jayasuriya has been pronounced fit to play, too.

    Duckworth-Lewis

    No pleasing some people - last tour you'd have been thankful for that. For accuracy's sake though, Lee only got 9. It is a fair point though, TBF. :) I suppose I was more thinking about run targets and results. Not a whole lot you can do about the team batting first in an innings less...

    Aussie Fans misbehave again with Murali

    Haha, I remember that Prescott incident, got a fair bit of coverage here in Oz. Even though he was a fat pollie, most people wished he'd beaten the crap out of that red-faced ****. Unfortunately he was gotten the better of after a few seconds, and security had to intervene. Fully appropriate...

    Cricket Web's New Design

    I reckon the forum looks really good - it definitely registers as improved, though I can't for certain remember exactly what it is that's changed. Maybe more dark blue? Anyhow the main cricketweb page looks much better, very professional - and I noticed that the article pages now allow for...

    Caption THIS: Yardy: Ouch!

    "Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep forever and ever and ever."

    A Tribute To Adam Gilchrist

    No real point for me to go on about his clean hitting and his selfless play, I'm sure it's been said many times in the thread already. Apart from his cricketing skills, he just seemed such a likeable person. Has nothing to do with his walking for me, he just comes across as an articulate and...

    Duckworth-Lewis

    I don't fully understand the mathematics of the system at all times (but I am terrible when it comes to mathematics, so that's no surprise), but in what the system tries to account for in terms of available resources, I think Duckworth/Lewis, in its current incarnation is excellent. When we...

    Test cricket should have 6 days of play

    I agree that pitches that offer more for the bowlers are a much better solution to situations such as we've just seen at Adelaide (with appreciation that it's not an easy thing for the groundskeepers), but wouldn't that situation exist more if tests were shortened, rather than lengthened...

    Your dream commentary team

    Blasts from the past... :laugh: Do you still think the same, mate? I had a tolerance for Roebuck at the time of this thread, but I have to say the majority of his material in the light of recent events probably killed my interest for his opinion completely.

    Rate: Ch.9 commentators

    Apart from the fact that Healy (1/10) seems universally disliked (and rightly so IMO) there's a fair variance of opinion when it comes to the Ch9 guys. I used to rate Tony Grieg (5/10) but he's become really sour and pissed off for some reason recently, and I don't enjoy him as much as I used...

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    Some very interesting own goals in this thread. Educational, to say the least. I'm not interested in claiming any high moral ground on this (I live in Australia and my mother was born in Belgium, and King Leopold II murdered and maimed A LOT of Africans) but it seems to me that there are...

    Ian Chappell has spoken.......

    I know you've been saying this for a while now, but it doesn't seem evident from what we see. It appears very clear that there is an ICC executive branch that makes decisions and sets policy direction. Clearly they hire "groups" (for want of a better word) of ex-players/officials to research...

    Ian Chappell has spoken.......

    Yeah, he actually first raised the topic during the Herschelle Gibbs "f-ing Pakistanis" affair, IIRC. He was actually derided for being hypocritical at the time, as Richard suggests, but I thought it was a bit of a pointless criticism as he was quite open in dealing with his own history when he...

    Choosing a good time to retire

    I don't have much time to have a conversation right now as I'm about to hit the sack, but I thought I'd get this in in case the thread is locked by tomorrow. Richard, I don't expect what I have to say here will have much of an impact on you, but I feel this needs to be said by somebody not...

    Are India the second best team in the world?

    Yes. Think I said during the Sydney test that the performance there should remove any lingering doubts. Don't think Ganguly's presence as a factor in this is to be underrated either. I'm guessing they also take a thin lead for second on the official ICC table after this victory, though I...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Well done India :) Really enjoyed the match. India may not be able to win the series, but the Australians certainly haven't got it won. Can't believe all this happened in Perth!

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Johnson so clearly enjoying this... Tait's got a smile on his face finally, too. And there's Mitchell's 50. Great stuff.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Ooh, what a pity. Really fun knock from Clark. Don't want to take anything away from India, who have done magnificently but it's a real testimony to this team that they've managed to have this game still be interesting so late in the day.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Yeah, exactly. I often find the Ch9 team annoying, but you've gotta cut them some slack this time. I honestly think it would be the same were the positions reversed.
