    ***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

    Great effort from the Windies. It seems a world wide phenomenon that pitches seem to be improving as matches go on. No wonder most captains no longer enforce the follow on and batsman seem to be chasing down bigger and bigger fourth innings totals.

    *Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Well handled by the umpires. Broad in there straight away - no need Clarke!! YEAH!

    ***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

    They showed the averages of their leg spinners down through the ages and they made from sad reading but as the commentators said it can take a long time before they are Test quality bowlers. I'm quite impressed with Deonarine, looks a decent prospect. I was surprised on his batting average...

    Monty V Swann

    I agree, also their batting value is important. As for the better bowler, I think Swann has the better variety and also looks the most dangerous.

    Should the 2013/14 series be the final Ashes series held?

    Yes. When he told the Judge he had streaked for a 20 pound bet, the Judge said the court will have that 20 pounds.

    Should the 2013/14 series be the final Ashes series held?

    Haha, well there was that. I was referring to the Aussie players and the media. Chappelli and the rest thought he was a great bowler. Even Jenner said the hit he took was his own fault. Snow liked to antagonise the crowd. I think if he was playing now he would be public enemy No.1 for the Aussie...

    Should the 2013/14 series be the final Ashes series held?

    Bradman didn't think he was out and either did the umpire or non striker. Broad new he hit it. Not that I thought he should have walked anyway. Bodyline and Lillianthompson were not even close to the same thing. Snow bowled a lot of bouncers in 1970-71, no complaints from memory. If you're...

    Chris Rogers

    Rogers but applies to both. Seems like a nice fellow does Rogers but not convinced on his ability

    Should the 2013/14 series be the final Ashes series held?

    Good post. McGrath was annoying and then when it was given back he lost the plot It was becoming pretty bad in the late 70s and into the 80s. The send off was a big one. I think Lillee was the worst though Thommo and Tong Greig were not far behind with their antics. The fact they needed to...

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    I don't think anyone has forgotten, but we don't want to go back there. The way they stopped this was to fine and suspend players. I shudder to think how bad things would have become otherwise. Hence the need for a match referee.

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    Would have like to see a poll for this topic. I thought it a little over the top. Just for the record

    Should the 2013/14 series be the final Ashes series held?

    I don't have an issue with what was said, it was the body language I thought over the top and unnecessary.

    Should the 2013/14 series be the final Ashes series held?

    I didn't think we needed the finger pointing and in your face posturing. Bowl the ball, give him a stare and mutter some things from the slips under your breath. I fail to see why finger pointing and fronting up means you are anymore fired up for the Ashes then copping a bouncer on the helmet...

    Chris Rogers

    Still not impressed with him tbh, struggles outside his off stump. Hope he proves me wrong but not Test standard despite his fine FC average

    Should the 2013/14 series be the final Ashes series held?

    I agree that both teams were over the top but calls to end the Ashes are even more over the top. A few fines and threats of missing a Test match for the respective captains will calm things down. I fail to understand why sportsman are considered role models? So your good at hitting a ball with...

    Rank your country's commentary team

    ABC Radio Agnew = 7.5 - chatty style and unbiased makes him a quality commentator Jim Maxwell = 7 - has been around since the early 70s, can become excited when there in no need. 'he smashes that ball, what a shot. and the batsman take a single'. Kerry O'Keefe = 7 - funny, which is entertaining...

    Nice of him to send an explanation but surely if he's doing the review he should give the rating? I wonder if the people who down graded the score actually read the book

    Haha, they're not sticking to that Although I prefer they post what is being written excepting specific name calling. I thought in the end they presented a fair example of the view of posters from both sides. And that both the authors replied very professionally and in the end won over some...

    yeah, they love to label everyone as racist. Let's not worry that Lara appears in the top 25 three times more than anyone else. I also noticed Cricinfo reduced the rating from 4 to 3.5 stars. Peer pressure? I did reply to the crap on Cricinfo but typically they didn't post my reply . Thanks...
