    Top Five Most Underrated Cricketers Ever.

    No comment on the quality of the bowling but 115kph would be far closer than 130. Sobers could bowl but we dont need to exaggerate the pace.

    Misleading Teamsheets

    This collection of modern champions, West Indies Legends and All Time Greats all at different stages of their careers - and off the back of a series victory against Pakistan including Wasim, Waqar, Inzi, Saqlain, Mushy, Mohammad Yousuf - became the first WI team to lose a series against England...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    The opening to Raw was so typically WWE. Christian, Edge, Lesnar and Heyman all in the ring with the potential of something special and the segment finishes with Cena clearing house and finishing in the ring on his own basking in his own glory!

    *** Official *** West Indies in South Africa 2014/15

    According to Cricinfo "The pitch already has a few cracks, so if West Indies can get around 350 it could be interesting." but I think in reality they will be lucky to get 320. If they hit that then they have done well.

    Clearly not out on hawkeye but I would have given it.

    A better one of Boycott practicing the pull. Great prep for facing Holding! I cant fully remember but I think the story is that they were in St. Vincent and there were not any practice facilities provided so the players were on their own to find anything they could - hence the goat field

    Yeah, doesnt do anything for us as spectators but there is no reason to declare. Prevent the win and make the Indian bowlers bowl more than they would want.

    Top Five Most Underrated Cricketers Ever.

    People talk of Wasim being an alltime great and people barely mention Pollock anymore. They have comparable bowling stats (av, wickets, SR etc). I rate Pollock higher but even somebody else doesnt the difference isnt great. Pollock is either massively underrated, Wasim massively overrated or a...

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

    I have not watched too much of this series and have not watched as much cricket as I used to in the past year or two so it it always interesting to turn on and see something of I have not really seen before. Mohammed Shami's run up and action looks like a video game graphic - ie basic and simple...

    Why is a bouncer now called a bumper

    Bumper was always thought dated and Australian. The sought of thing Richie Benaud would say in old interview from the 50s. Perhaps it is making a comeback? Take a look at Vitai Lampada from the 19C as well."A bumping pitch and a blinding light, An hour to play and the last man in."

    Enjoyed the play in this morning session so far but the Aus commentators again proving to be an insight vacuum.

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

    Excellent innings from Smith. I am firmly in the camp that it is all about production rather than aesthetics but I find it really hard to watch Smith. Brutal on the eyes and ugly as all Hell to watch but that is a distant second priority to runs on the board. Must really hurt the moral of...

    Who is South Africa's Greatest Batsman

    FWIW Pollock's Test + Rebel Test + World XI 'Tests' (Eng 1970 and Aus 1971/72) over his 25 year career looks like this and I would probably say that is a decent reflection of what was a fine player. The greater sample size does bring him closer to the norm. 47 'Tests' - 4091 runs at 54.55 with...

    Safeguarding Test Cricket's Future

    No but big golf tournaments do and they are the closest in length - both in days and play per day. As I previously said, I think Day/Night Tests need to fit into the sporting culture of the host nation. Day Test cricket works very well in England. Book the day off work, spend the day in the...
