    South Asia's natural game

    Haha, that was part of what made it so tragic - the last paragraph clutch for some positive out of all that depressing history, hoping that a subcontinental team could upset the team to beat, like they did, once before, 24 years ago. So are ODI games actually sellouts? I didn't know that - I...

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    I liked Hookes (as much as you can like an international cricket player you don't actually know) - he was my favorite player when I was growing up, I idolised him. My dad remembered and called me when he heard the news of his death on the radio.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    Wow, did he just say that? Probably the latter (and I only say this because I can't conceive he would stoop as low as the former), but woeful judgement on his part. Hard to expect Ponting (and the Aussies) to do anything other than go ballistic about this, and fairly unseemly for a guy in his...

    Site extrememly slow \ down 6\3\2007

    Experiencing a lot of slowdown, inability to connect over the last hour or two myself. It's right on the 12 hour mark though, so I guess it might be sorted soon. Just thought I'd let you know in case it's supposed to be resolved by now.

    Reason why we need 10-day tests

    Perception of Chanderpaul's defensive outlook has probably lagged similarly to that of Justin Langer. Is often an extremely quick scorer these days. Taware sounds vaguely African... :)

    Should Kenya be given test status

    My answer to the original question is no. Are they playing five-day (or four-day) cricket on a regular basis domestically in Kenya ATM? I may be getting confused, but I thought a short while ago the answer to that was no. How about Bangladesh? Until that's true, it should not even be a...

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    Sunil Gavaskar, 57 (going on 90) vs Ricky Ponting 32 (going on 16). Surely the mother of all battles here. 8-) My personal opinion is that over the last decade or so, Australia have been fairly poorly behaved in this particular way, and I don't believe it's down to just being the number one...

    South Africa had been lambasted as "chokers" by their former opening bowler

    TBH, reading Donald's actual remarks in the link Corli provided, I don't think he bears ill will with the comments at all, and I can't really see why people are acting as if he didn't include himself and the teams he played in as exhibiting that fragility, because he quite clearly does. He's in...

    ICC name World Cup Umpires

    Haha, reminds me of that old "What's the difference between Australia and yoghurt?" gag. Seriously though, mate, a bit offensive there.

    Wow, reading through the thread, I got the initial impression that Mortaza hit two sixes off the final two balls for victory, but it looks like that was the second last over. Still great win for Bangladesh, regardless of whether it's a practice match. It would be great if they could continue...

    Glenn McGrath - Batsman

    "If he bats, it means Australia are in trouble; if he passes 5, they lose." "If McGrath bowled to himself, he'd never concede a run." Haha, starting to sound a bit Chuck Norris/Vin Dieselesque...

    Commentators for the World Cup?

    Can't argue with much thierry has said in this thread, really. Yeah, he's got a bit of an arrogant attitude (though to be fair I think it's mostly TIC) but Fiery, if you're gonna wield your age like that, going where you did in your last post won't do you any favors. Anyhow, while I appreciate...

    Greg Chappell - just how good do people think he was?

    Actually I don't have a high opinion of Kerry Packer at all - by many accounts he was just the typical idiosyncratic, badly-tempered billionaire magnate. And I've actually found it bizarre that Ch 9's dedication to showing the cricket has actually gotten better since his death, despite his...

    Interesting - can't see England making the final four despite their recent heroics, and I have this weird feeling that Pakistan are gonna be a real no-show this WC, but you never know with them.
