    *Official* West Indies in Sri Lanka 2010

    I think Gayle has too much "rockstar" about him to be the best guy to lead the Windies. It was just that Gayle was always first picked... Captaincy - the rockstars are not usually the best call: Clive Lloyd > Vic Richards Mark Taylor > Ricky Ponting I.Chappell > G.Chappell Michael Vaughan >...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Fair enough. Given that the rules have been changed, Murali is officially legal and statistically superior to anyone else. But people are entitled to their opinions, whether you agree with them or not.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    IMHO. Warne > Murali due to the * next to Murali's records. just an opinion for the record. and am happy to drop the discussion as it has been done to death.

    Top 3 fast bowlers in tests ATM?

    The responses speak volumes about the dearth of top class bowlers in Test/world cricket at the moment. We were blessed in the late nineties, early-mid 2000s with top-liners like (in no particular order) Murali, Warne, McGrath, Harbhajan (spelling), Ambrose, Walsh, Waqar, Akram, Ntini, Donald...

    *Official* Australia in India 2010

    My quick read on the India/Australia tour. I'm a rabid Aussie supporter. 2 Tests doesn't justify either of these two sides. Minimum 3 Tests, should be 5. Best side won and won well - good luck to the Indians. Result could have been much worse if Sehwag occupied the crease for longer and...

    Greatest All-rounder if captaincy were to be included

    Based on the descripton of great allrounders,Khan would never have been picked as a batsmen only. Scrap him off the list. Perhaps the criteria need to be clearer because if we're just lookig at "the best captains", someone like Stephen Fleming did well with ordinary talent. Vaughan may not...

    Cricket in Commonwealth Games?

    If Netball gets a run, then 20-20 is a certainty, as much for the TV rights cash injection for the next comm games as anything else. Plus it could be a warmup for the world cup (which has the same teams participating anyways). Yep, mix up the format somehow. Great idea.

    Greatest All-rounder if captaincy were to be included

    sobers, then daylight, then the rest You're kidding aren't you? :dry: Sobers daylight the rest If the poll is about the best allrounder when considering captaincy as a discipline, then it is Sobers by a country mile. He's probably in the top handful or batsmen of all time let alone...
