    10 Years On

    I thought I'd have a look at what appeared to be the busiest thread on CW 10 years ago. Surprising at the number of guys still around today and a very sad reminder of what tragically happened to Craig. http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/9907-cricket-s-nicest-guys.html

    Scared of ball

    Ive always been a little nervous of the ball when facing quicks. It is more likely when playing at a higher level as I bat lower, dont bat as frequently and the bowlers are a yard quicker. Id say the higher you bat, with more responsibility to score runs, helps get rid of the fear. When I have...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    Sounds pretty credible and, if true, is not how sports should be played. Clearly during the previous few years things have not been right in the squad. No one should be given **** for making a mistake though I do think an apology should come voluntarily after a mistake rather than being...

    English Football Clubs Survey

    Grew up in a house where my old man idolised Clough. Also, I always enjoyed Nottingham as a good night out. For those two reasons Forest have a lot of currency still with me.

    *Official* NRL 2014

    Not sure I have ever seen athletes react with such naked emotion as the Rabbitoh players at the end of this game. Remarkable.

    New Feature: Top 100 Test Innings: Revised and Updated

    I dont want to get into a pissing contest or protracted argument so I will leave it at this. I think the rating system, while clearly a weighty and admirable effort by you, is flawed and I do think you are being precious regarding comments and observations. I highlighted the bolded area as I...

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2014

    Agreed which is why I am questioning the wisdom of a club offering a good money guaranteed contract (which I assume they are for him to change club and leave his current) for an injury prone player with a very limited record but good potential. Not the best way to run club finances IMO. If it...

    New Feature: Top 100 Test Innings: Revised and Updated

    It is an impressive labour of love and I admire the effort but you cant get precious about observations especially with an arbitrary weighting system in place.

    New Feature: Top 100 Test Innings: Revised and Updated

    You are right I would. I think the weighting of this, strike rate and possibly others dont add up.

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2014

    Young bloke with apparent potential but I would be interested in the type of contract he gets. It would be wise to be a development contract with certain incentives. He isnt the finished article and doesnt have a FC fifer in 30 games. You dont know how he will develop and you dont want to have a...

    New Feature: Top 100 Test Innings: Revised and Updated

    While I am not doubting 1 and 2 (Lara over Gooch) I do notice that Lara ranks over Gooch based on "1. Match result and closeness of result (max 3.98 points for a 1 run victory)" Lara's innings is for batting second and a 1 wicket win - great innings. Let us ignore that and look at Gooch's...

    Ten Cricket

    Where I currently live I can get Ten Cricket as an add on channel - I forget exactly how much it is but it isn't that expensive. The question is, is the channel any good? Flicking through the guide it seems like a lot of 'old' cricket - which would be great if that meant Tests from the 50s and...

    Should Yorkshire be granted Test status?

    In 2006 readers of the Yorkshire Post selected the following 1st and 2nd XI teams based on contributions to YCCC. If it was an alltime Yorkshire XI though then players who did well for other counties (eg Laker), those who played more for the national team such as Gough and Hoggard, those who...

    Should Yorkshire be granted Test status?

    Yep and interesting selections such as who to bat at 3? Laker and Johnny Wardle both in the 2nd XI having around 300 Test wickets at just over 20 between them :-O

    Historical Discussion- Best batting all-rounders after Sobers and Kallis

    I dont think there is an argument that could be made otherwise. If there is then Id like to hear it.
