    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Think this series will be a lot tighter than people on here seem to think. One of the major battles which will go a long way to deciding who wins the series (imho) is Broad & Jimmy vs Steyn/Morkel. Both sides have pretty ordinary batting line-ups with exceptions to a couple of players and both...

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    A Pakistani team actually fielding well. My word, maybe things are changing after all.....

    Isn't the squad to SA just the Test squad atm? Pretty sure Topley knows he is nowhere near the Test match squad.

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Come up with my XI for the 1st test: Cook* Hales Compton Root Taylor Stokes Bairstow+ Ali Broad Footitt Anderson Really can't see how Woakes can play whilst Stokes is in the side. Footitt also brings a different angle with his left armers.

    Strong rumours he'll go on and play in the BBL (strong rumours it will be with Adelaide too, of course linking him up with Dizzy again). Maybe first signs that Strauss does actually mean it when he says he's putting more weight on white-ball cricket?

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Please do not play Chris Woakes as the 3rd seamer. He is not a test match cricketer. Why isn't Plunkett on the tour? Anderson, Broad, Stoke and Plunkett looks a lot stronger than Anderson, Broad, Stokes, Woakes/Footitt.

    Any highlights in the UK for this game?

    Cricket All-Stars 2015 - Sachin's Blasters vs Warne's Warriors

    I'm happy with the game only trying to attract business interest in the US. At least the ICC in supporting this game are showing some intent to expand the game I guess. Think it's better spent on current associates who are ready to go but whatever...

    West Indies Domestic Season 2015/16

    Don't know a lot about WI Domestic set up at all tbh. Does it generate much interest and what's the standard like?

    Cricket All-Stars 2015 - Sachin's Blasters vs Warne's Warriors

    This match is great for me, all the cricketers I watched growing up all in the same game.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Sri Lanka 2015

    Have the WICB cut the fitness coach from the wage bill also? Half of this team look in worse shape than Samit! In all seriousness though, how can the WICB not select the likes of Pollard, Dwayne Smith etc.. when their team is struggling so badly like this?

    Announced his retirement with that shot (if you can even call it that) in the 2nd innings :laugh:

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    Coming up to about that yeah, I think Mushtaq played 'till around 2006 and Warne 'till around 2008 maybe? Edit: Murali played about 2 years ago though, but only as a T20 player I think.

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    I'd certainly drop him for the last test of this tour. He isn't going to get out of his slump playing on spinning decks. Problem is he hasn't really looked himself for a while now, I think it's best to give him and break and let Billings sample a full tour with squad.

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    I'd stick with Bairstow and drop Bell. I agree with you on the shout of Hales to open and Taylor to be given a chance. Hales Cook (c) Taylor Root Stokes Ali Bairstow (wk) Rashid Broad Wood Anderson I'd also give Jos Buttler a chance to have a rest and try and find his form ahead of the Wt20...

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2015

    Yeah. Fair enough if they pull it off and win it then he is a hero, but a chase of 300 with arguably the best batting line-up in the country vs one of the worst bowling attacks in the county and it doesn't really look like a great deal of thought had gone into it. But I guess on the contrary he...

    That's pretty much the English season wrapped up then :( Only 1 place left to fight for in the Championship (and I can't see Hampshire getting out of it).

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2015

    Gap between the top sides and the rest of the pack will only get bigger if 'big' teams come in an swoop up all the talent from 'smaller' teams. Sad but I can see a premier league-esque 'big 4' developing and it being the same sides challenging for the title year after year.

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2015

    Relegation confirmed for Worcs. Hard to take but saw it happening from middle of the season. Ajmal's wickets weren't replaced and the side lacked a quality seasoned batsmen. Expect them to come back up next year. Clarke, Fell, Leach, Morris etc... should be a very good squad in that division.
