    ***Official*** Australia in Ireland and England 2015 (limited overs)

    I really think Australia have missed a trick here in not picking Usman Khawaja. He's been the best OD bat in Australian competitions for a couple of seasons straight. Picking Burns here is a bit of a cop out for leaving him out of the test squad. I hope he does well though. Also, why on earth...

    *Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

    Wonder if Shaun Marsh is a chance to come in and replace Voges. I wouldn't agree with it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

    *Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

    What would Watson even be in contention for (I imagine that's tongue in cheek)? Voges' spot?

    *Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

    As an Australian I hope Moeen goes up the order. He looks an absolute world beater at 8. Some of his shot making is pleasing to watch. But he's about as loose as it gets.

    *Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

    Really? 450 is where they should be not long after lunch.

    Haddin?

    Yeah agree big time with this, Even if Watson is replaced by marsh it's the same issue.

    *Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

    Tough to ask of a keeper batsman, but especially fi Marsh comes in, Nevill at 6 would be the go for mine.

    Road to the 2015 Ashes in England

    This is going to be a really close series for mine. So much rests on Starc who really is yet to stand up and be counted in test cricket with the pill. 2 very equally matched sides with Harris out for mine.

    New Rain Interrupted Idea

    I've always wondered why day-night games seem so static in terms of time they have to finish. Surely 10.30 could be put back to 12 etc etc. Some of the great matches of tennis run into the early hours and the crowd remains.

    1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

    I still can't help but feel but the lack of a genuine all rounder really, really hurt South Africa in this game. They weren't pathetic but Duminy and De Villiers as the 5th bowler just isn't good enough.

    23rd Match - Pakistan v Zimbabwe

    I know Zimbabwe don't have the deepest of talent pools but **** me Sikander Raza is an absolute waste of space as an opening batsman. I'd have no problems at all with him being used as a lower order all rounder type given they've got no actual spinner and he's a gun fielder. But his batting is...

    23rd Match - Pakistan v Zimbabwe

    Wonder how many no-balls Irfan bowled tonight that weren't called. I'd wager at least an overs worth. The cameras showed 3.

    Praise the lord Zimbabwe picked their best xi

    15th Match - West Indies v Zimbabwe

    Yeah playing Chakabva and Matsikenyeri (while you carry 'I'm Kamungozi, get me outta here') is just absolute ****ing madness. How Mupariwa hasn't played yet I will never ****ing know, especially considering the abortion that has been their death bowling, even before this game. In no order...

    WC Useless XI

    Chakabva has to be one of the openers.

    Who should bat at Seven for South Africa?

    He's been playing List A stuff in South Africa. If an injury happened, he's who I'd be on the dog and bone to....besides Kallis.

    15th Match - West Indies v Zimbabwe

    Zimbabwe probably need to bring in another bowling option (even if it's just Matsikenyeri to cut Raza from the attack) if they're dead against Chibabha. Picking Chakabva almost cost them against an Associate and definitely will cost them against a test playing side. Edit; Chibhaba's injured...

    8th Match - United Arab Emirates v Zimbabwe

    Why on earth is Chakabva playing?

    5th Match - Ireland v West Indies

    Don't have the time to read the entire thread after working all day, but was their much said about the disgraceful XI picked by West Indies? One of Benn and Miller should have played (if not both). Couldn't be more obvious IMO. This is not what I'm getting at but fmd mediocre medium pace is...
