    ***Official India in New Zealand***

    I tend to utilise this argument in regards to Yuvi. I'd rather see Badrinath, Kaif, Tiwary or Raina be given a chance ahead of him. * R. Sharma is not close to being ready yet.

    Kevin Pietersen

    Interesting, the tempt to have him in the team is undeniable, but the SA line-up is solid enough. Thats not even considering the changeroom politics. Don't worry about Smith, what about the likes of Prince, Ntini and co (bare in mind, I make this comment in reference to what KP has said about...

    What if?...

    If India lose today, depending on certain circumstances, Yuvraj may be dropped once again. What would happen if Boucher retires and Ab takes the gloves? (Question more in regards to AB than SA)

    Cameron White - why?

    White shouldn't be any where near the Test side unless he does what Steve Waugh did - concentrate on his batting. As for ODIs, I think he has been a little bit wasted. He bats at 4/5 for Victoria and there is no doubt that he is one of the better 50/50 batsman in the country. Him coming in at...

    What's Your Aussie Ashes Squad?

    Yeah, I think he will get picked and more than likely play. Barring anything amazing in the first 2-3 Tests, I think he may get the Dizzt treatment and sit out of the last games.

    Cricketing Clichés

    Usually by Ian Chappell in regards to Sehwag: Context: an over before tea, 15-20 session before stumps, India chasing 600. Sehwag gets out cheaply playing an ambitious shot. "Thats just how he plays."

    ODI Batsmen- Neither One thing or the Other

    Don't think Shah should be there, the guy has been England's best batsmen for the last 18-24 months.

    Cricketing Clichés

    Haha. "That one had hit me written all over it." I don't think you hear this one by commentators all that much, but surely everone who has played semi-serious cricket has heard from a coach or an old-timer - "cricket is a funny game."

    Kevin Pietersen Vs Abraham De Villiers - Who's better in tests?

    Geez, that is rather suprising. Four years soon since his debut, I thought he was on about 35-40.

    AB De Villiers- The Complete Batsman?

    Must be aware of CW's method of analysis.

    The Road to the 2009 Ashes

    I know, but it has become so, so, so pointless and illogical. Firstly, the guy is so fragile. His career has been plagued by injuries to different parts of his body - its a bit of a catch-22, but I think multiple injuries to a sole part of the body is better than a dispersion of injuries...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    He seems more helpful than anything. Thus far, his bowling is decent, but his batting has been terrible. If anything, Australia might as well pick a frontline bowler instead of Ronnie.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    In regards to Tahir. Simply put, that will happen when it happens. Harris had done enough to keep his position in the team for now, although Tahir's attributes are very tempting.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Exactly. I'll be the first to admit that he is probably punching above his own weight, but the fact of the matter is that he is still doing his job (and relatively well). I think the fact that he has maintained his poisition in the team is something to look at too. Understandly there aren't many...

    The Road to the 2009 Ashes

    Its been nearly four years and you are still mentioning this blokes name? I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but please. The bloke hasn't played for England in any form of cricket for nearly four years. He hasn't been selected for a Lions tour in that period. He hasn't been rarely fit for county...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    I think its time for Harris to be rated fairly. The bloke isn't a bad bowler and the fact that he is still in the SA set up is testament to that. He isn't going to be in the same class as Warne, Murali, Kumble et al., but I think after Bhaji and Vettori, he is the 3rd best in the world...

    What is the worst spell of bowling in international cricket ?

    That whole series was pretty bad for all English bowlers involved.

    AB De Villiers- The Complete Batsman?

    His attitude is much better now (not saying he had a bad attitude previously), but he has said that he wants to be the best batsman in the world. To add to this, a Cricinfo article says that he wants to be a specialist - batting solely at no. 5 and not keeping. The latter could be detrimental to...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Its happened at a good time I must admit. They don't play a Test for a while. After I read an article in the paper I was rather shocked. I thought the SA players were nice guys, but they all seem to be at loggerheads with Prince. AB didn't want to give up the no. 5 position and it was written...
