    Allan Border Medal Predictions?

    The cricketing feats not recognised by the Allan Border Medal solid gold article. pretty much sums up what the AB medal should be cancelled!

    Best bowling actions ever

    Best bowling actions ever

    Lots of actions can be very effective & wonderful. Three factors that are worthwhile for me: Whether the action supports "durability". Whether the bowler takes wickets, especially top-order ones to bust open a game. Whether the action supports being able to bowl wide of the crease, close to...

    Best bowling actions ever

    I agree that DK Lillee had a wonderful action but Richard Hadlee has got to be right up there.

    *Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

    More than that, they'd smash them because they would have nothing to lose. PS: Why not rest Haddin and give Paine the gloves?

    *Official* West Indies in Sri Lanka 2010

    I have to say that I wouldn't want to be up against WI in a knockout match. I can see Gayle scoring a double ton if he bats for 40 overs. He's absolutely tearing it up in our 20twenty domestic comp in Australia. Mis-hitting some sixes and connecting with some monster hits on relatively large...

    Movie Character XI

    *Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

    My view is that there's no downside to S.Smith. Roger Harper of Aussie cricket.

    Indian Discussion

    Part of me wants to have a laugh if India fail in this WC, but I do concede that: On paper India has a very, very strong side. All of the hosts, but especially India, will put on a colourful and exciting show. No total will be easily defendable against the non-minnows. I'd argue that with the...

    Is Steyn as deadly as Lillee?

    Well I tried....... maybe it is a cultural thing. I guess I will have to agree to disagree with people about the notion of having a personal set of values. Is Steyn as deadly as Lillee? Well if everything is taken literally, then neither of them have actually killed anyone so the answer is...

    Is Steyn as deadly as Lillee?

    PS: What doesn't amuse me is the arrogance who those don't respect people's rights to their personal views, opinions, biases. It depends on what you're arguing - but never dismiss the human factor (passion, fear, courage, grace, trust, aggression, dare I say it love), in this forum and in life...

    Is Steyn as deadly as Lillee?

    Bull****, or course you can. Who was better value as a batsmen? Jacques Kallis or David Gower? Who was better value as a bowler? Stuart Clark or Jeff Thomson? Stats are just one measure but if the question has an element of personal opinion or subjectivity, or seeks to tease out what people...

    *Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

    I do like Swann. Thinking man's clown. We Aussies get Merv Hughes :unsure:

    *Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

    But if we didn't have to post the 15 man squad until the last minute for the WC, and Clarke scratched another 60 runs off 100+ balls over the next four 1-dayers against England, would he still be selected by Hilditch & Co? The answer is "yes". He has a good record in 1-dayers over the past 12...

    *Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

    Easy to say when you buggers hold the Ashes. 8-) I'll take the Ashes & #1 Test rating over the ODI World Cup any day.

    Which is the team that you would least want your side to face in a knockout clash...

    Losing to England in a knockout stage would be the last straw (especially if it was the final)
