    Spineless pathetic bastards...

    I always thought the rule was that sledges about things that were happening on the field were fine but dragging in off-field stuff was in poor taste.

    Prior V Haddin

    This is a bit of an unfortunate comparison because Haddin did not get a chance in tests until he was past his best. I have a suspicion that Haddin was probably a better cricketer in his prime but there is no doubt that Prior has had the better test career.

    Spineless pathetic bastards...

    Apologies, sarcasm does not come through well on the internet. Player rotation is a crap idea but you just know there are people out there who would think it after seeing those stats.

    Has England thought about instituting some sort of rotation policy?

    Ajmal claims special concession to 15 degree rule allowed by ICC

    And to be fair, Chappell whines about everything so at least he is consistent.

    Ajmal claims special concession to 15 degree rule allowed by ICC

    Assuming his action did not change for the third test, of course.

    ****Official****Pakistan in South Africa

    When did Steyn turn into such a wanker? His post-wicket celebrations are a new low.

    Your biggest CW epiphany

    A lot of people are really obsessed with fantasy XI's and individual statistics. Game results, not so much.

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia 2012/2013

    Doesn't happen in Australia. They are worried over the bits that would not have been covered anyway.

    Isn't it a sell-out?

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia 2012/2013

    A really good example today of why you don't waste DRS appeals on close decisions.

    Viv Richards gentlemanly conduct

    Don't you have to be in your delivery stride before you can run someone out now? Maybe I should have said it is more difficult to do.

    why do nz keep patel and franklin in test team?

    Answer is pretty simple. Lack of talent in NZ cricket. Beggars can't be choosers.

    Viv Richards gentlemanly conduct

    I thought it was a generally accepted convention at the time that you did not mankad someone, at least without warning them first. Aren't there literally dozens of examples of this type of thing from back then? No longer possible to run someone out like this, of course.

    Wicketkeeping standards

    Goes back further than that. I can remember that Healy was picked in part because he was useful with the bat. Maybe we can blame Dujon? Marsh??

    Viv Richards gentlemanly conduct

    Bizarre commentary as well. They seemed perfectly OK with WI doing this at first and only changed their minds after reading the rules.

    Viv Richards gentlemanly conduct

    I don't know about that but Viv Richards was captain for the most unsportman-like action I can remember from the West Indies. Dean Jones, 1990-91, West Indies v Australia, 2nd Test, Guyana The "run out" of Dean Jones was a cruel blow to Australia who faced a deficit of 221 runs. Jones was...

    Sure was. Economic suicide.

    RIP SL cricket thread

    Might have missed the bit where Briony suggested Australia tour SA over Saturnalia and NY.
