    Safeguarding Test Cricket's Future

    Granted it is one of the lesser points you make but Zimbabwe were not given Test status too soon. They didnt lost either of their first two Tests. Only lost 4 of their first 10 and didnt lose any of their first 5 homes Tests. Zimbabwe had other issues rather than timing.

    My passion for first-class Cricket

    I can see why it would work in Aus but not something I would want to see in England.

    ***Official*** Australian Domestic Thread 2014/15

    Watched my first ever game of Big Bash on TV last night - i thought it great that it is being carried in WI - but there appears to be a team called the Sydney Sixers. I ask you?! That will probably be the first and last game I watch.

    Time for a reassessment of Indian quicks?

    I remember when I first played in an all Indian team and this topic was brought up by someone else. They told me a term which I cant remember with translates to something like "batting thief." IE People would play informal cricket, have their turn batting and then leave. Generally few wanted to...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Yeah. Not sure what to make of it. It is a win/win for UFC. Not sure what Punk gets out of it except money. If he wins a few fights against select opponents then he will bring bums on seats, PPV buys and lots of attention to UFC. If he fails then DW gets one over on Vince Jr by taking what was...

    Cricket on YouTube

    Ignore the 5 step ambled run up, bowling in a cap, and the fact that it isnt quick - for a 38 yr old opening batsman he has a proper, forceful action, doesnt just roll his arm over and gets good shape.

    ADEPT OR DIE(the death of test cricket)

    Warren Deutrom has an agenda - one I am sympathetic towards but still an agenda. As already stated every year for the past 100 years people have been declaring the death of Test cricket. It will be fine. Test cricket may not be in great financial shape all over the world but it is a healthy...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    We are complaining about Bryan being mistreated in a storyline centered on The Authority screwing him over?! It was a long slow burn of a storyline with possibly the ultimate WrestleMania pay-off. If anyone was screwed it was Dave. I dont like him or have any time for him but what I am sure what...

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    I am sure someone else must have mentioned it but I loathe the concept of "seeing a bowler off" in limited overs cricket. I was talking to someone today about taking what you are given against the best bowler, seeing him off and attacking the others. That is absolute bull****. Not one good...

    ***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2014

    A long time ago on here I posted about what I considered to be the best stats to predict player ODI success. Anyway, I set my criteria for the 2014 players and this is the team which has been spat out. I can handle people saying it is ****. I dont claim it is right. There isnt much point going...

    Vale Phillip Hughes

    I dont think anyone on here would find such a discussion disrespectful. There are issues here worth discussing and probably should be discussed. I am sure we could have a reasoned debate about it right now if we had to. But, for me, the key point is that we dont have to do it right now and it...

    Agreed. It is what people do when they can't do anything else well.
