    *Official* T20 and ODI matches

    200 ODI strikes for James Anderson. Should have had far more by now given the way he started. But still, top effort!

    Patel 94* Should have been out 3 or 4 times at least. Why can't we get an opening keeper with that much luck!!! :@

    *Official* T20 and ODI matches

    If Parthiv gets a ton here, then England should forfeit the rest of the series in embarrassment! Oh for a 93+mph bowler who can break stumps in the middle overs!

    Can't wait until Jade gets into the batting power play. He'll Dernbach the Indian batting!

    Are England trying to get Parthiv to a hundred so they drop Dhoni? Can be the only explanation of their bowling to him!

    *Official* T20 and ODI matches

    This is the problem with "walkers" and "honest" batsmen. You see a Dravid or Gilchrist not walk in a situation like that and they'd get away with it and yet he's actually out! Did he just not feel the edge, or having seen HotSpot fail so often, did he take a gamble?! We'll never know!

    ICC player ratings relevance

    Before the Test series, India had 3 bowlers in the top 10 or 11 in the rankings. Zaheer, Harbhajan and Ishant were all in there. So any runs in that first Test will have scored bigger ranking points than runs at the Oval!

    Have you ever edged a 90mph delivery, while playing forward?

    Erasmus is watching that in HD with the sound feed almost perfect. Snicko confirms he was right. HotSpot is becoming farcical it can't detect thin edges! Dravid's reaction worries me more though. He must have known he hit that! And Rahane out to the short ball again. 2 innings, 2 short ball...

    *Official* T20 and ODI matches

    I still think Davies deserves a run somewhere at sometime, but Flower obviously doesn't really rate him that highly. The way he was discarded in Australia was absurd. He is a wonderful timer of a cricket ball and his List A opening record is amazing. I wouldn't be shocked if he gets dropped as...

    So does anyone else think Nasser should apologise for his 'donkey' comment? Personally I was disgusted by it and think he should apologise immediately on air tomorrow...... to all donkeys across the world compared to Parthiv Patel! :laugh:

    ICC player ratings relevance

    They are generally fairly accurate. But they need a bit more consistency factored in to them. It's too easy to slip from 3rd to 23rd in a Test series, which is wrong really. If you're the third best batsman in the world before the series. A couple of failures don't suddenly make you the 23rd...

    Maybe Punter is reinventing himself as an all-rounder to stay in the side?!

    How Much Impact Can A Captain Have?

    My point is, bowling full tosses on leg stump ain't going to work, so you can't just do whatever you want, but the general concept of top of off tends to work for most batsmen, so it's hardly genius captaincy required. But then you knew that anyway. Didn't you?! :-O Just noticed you're a Kiwi...

    G'day mate. No worries cobba, just replying to that fair dinkum post ya flamin' galah! The post said Australia can challenge England in 2013, I said they won't. Opinions! :D

    ***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

    Excited about a team that has 9 players who got massacred by England last Winter? I doubt Lyon and Copeland are THAT good! Not to mention the fact that England will be much stronger by then with the likes of Broad, Bell, Cook, Finn etc. getting better and Taylor, Stokes and co. replacing...

    Is 75mph the new 85mph? Copeland, Kumar, Sammy, Watson. All been pretty successful of late bowling medium dobbers.

    Prassana goes. Harris cleans him up. PJ looked good in England. Looked awful here.

    The Best Team Man

    Being world class doesn't necessarily mean you are a team man. A team man is someone who does his job to the absolute best of his ability at all times and doesn't put milestones or personal glory ahead of the team's situation. Players like Bresnan and Prior are perfect examples of this.
