    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Would Imran get in a Test side as just a batsman? Yes. But not many top ones. Would Sobers get in a Test side just as a bowler? Yes. Not all, but quite a number over the years. 6 hundreds in 88 Tests isn't exactly top 6 material. Even Matty Prior has 6 in just 47 games.

    ***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

    Copeland is basically doing what Andrew McDonald did for them a few years back. About the time they were beating South Africa in South Africa. Except McDonald could bat too.

    *Official* T20 and ODI matches

    D/L is saying England would need 164 in 20 overs if it was reduced to 20 overs. I'd say 164 in 20 is about fair, if the side batting first get 274. That seems equivalent. HOWEVER! England have already batted 7.2 overs in a 50 over game! How the hell can it still be 164?! It should be about...

    ***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

    Sri Lanka's attack is just abysmal at this level. All their bowlers averaging high 30's or 40+! Just not up to it against world class batsmen. No way England will lose in Sri Lanka, just whether they can take 20 wickets. Harris is the key to this Aussie attack. He is their 1 world class...

    I realise D/L is based on "resources" available and England are 2 down. But that is an absurd recalculation. England have been stuffed good and proper by the D/L! Thank God it's raining! Phew! Deserved to rain there because that calculation was absurd!

    So England need 224 in 32 overs overall. India scored 274 in 50 overs. Laughable. Time to scrap D/L it's laughable!

    I'd quite like to see Buttler in as the keeper batting down at 6 or 7 as the finisher. Open with Cook and Bell (KP at 4) in England and Cook and Pietersen abroad.

    Kieswetter's destroying his chances of a long Test career! Davies has had 2 cracking FC games for Surrey lately and now CK showing he can't play seam or swing. Davies has probably saved his place as back up keeper!

    17 dots in a row. 2 maidens in a row. 6 runs from 4 overs. Kieswetter 2 from 11. Is there any point CK opening in this manner? Just open with Bell and Cook if you want to see off the new ball!

    ICC team ratings relevance

    Does any ranking/league system in any sport include points for how good a win it was?! Man Utd don't get 6 points for winning 6-0. Federer doesn't get more points for winning 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 in a Grand Slam. It's all based on just winning.

    I have no problem with UDRS. I don't agree with guessing. But in this case it was correct, so who cares?

    Don't see why a few bad displays for Yorkshire have had such an impact! He was EASILY our best bowler in the World Cup. Comfortably. He was in the 1st XI. His International record is superb. Forget Yorkshire, he's a big game player! If you're telling me that if at the start of next year...

    ***Official*** DRS discussion thread

    First replay Sky showed had a clear sound. I said that sounded out. The immediate reactions of Dravid, Kieswetter and Broad suggested it was out. Snicko suggests it was out, as bat was nowhere near pad and the sound was perfectly synced. Only HotSpot and the lack of deviation suggest...

    Dernbach and Bresnan look like great death bowlers. Jimmy is a good opening bowler. Broady is a good middle overs bowler. Just need a real wicket-taker from somewhere early on! Maybe Steven Finn? Maybe a Graham Onions? Maybe back to Ajmal Shahzad?!

    It's the new verb appearing in cricket everywhere. If you get done by a great slower ball it's called being "Dernbached". :D

    England really lack some devil with the ball in ODIs. Maybe they should try setting Test fields and treating it as a shortened Test match!
