    ***Official*** India in Australia

    The reality though, as Jono and others have pointed out, is that this actually IS a really good period for Indian cricket. And they are actually doing really well this tour - they arguably could well have won the last test if not for the umpiring, and even if they lose this one (against an...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    About India collapsing for less than a 300 lead? I'll let you know after Tait's spell. :p

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I think you should stop dishing out financial advice. India are no doubt favorites at this point, but Australia at this stage are still well in this. It's an exceptional team and they do exceptional things.

    Appeal for Bucknor

    I don't know how you formalize a situation that's outside the bounds of formality, though. As far as I know, an umpire hasn't been immediately stood down after a poor performance before, so this is a new precedent (and yes, that's a problem in of itself). Bucknor's option of grievance would...

    Matthew Hayden most centuries in a decade?

    Was scratching my head over that one also.

    Who would you rather have in your team as a batsman - Hussey or Kallis

    Of course he's an Australian! TBH I tend to think of him as a lefty, more than "Indian guy living in Australia", plus he's so anti-national identity anyway. But yeah, those were the three I was thinking of (haven't seen much of Corli, so wasn't completely sure there.)... :)

    Who would you rather have in your team as a batsman - Hussey or Kallis

    Interesting to note the voting in the poll - unless I'm mistaken there's only three Aussie respondents who voted for Kallis, and of them, only two support Australia. And from memory one of them is probably one of the biggest (if not the biggest) fans of Kallis on the forum. I would be really...

    Real culprit of world cricket farce....

    I like this Malleeboy fella. Seems the old awards have gone by the wayside, but I'd cast a vote his way for best new member.

    The PCB want result changed....

    It's interesting that England are in support of the changing of the result, but it's strikes me as too much of a hornet's nest. Not many players (in the sense of anyone involved) in that fiasco have clean hands, even if Hair copped the brunt of the criticism. Although I could sympathise at...

    Agreed.

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    Yeah, when I saw you'd left, I was straight back into the fray. ;) Just kidding, good to see you too mate, hope all's well. At the risk of complicating this mess further, I think maybe a bit of a false dichotomy is being built between the term "bastard" being an absolutely casual term in...

    The beginning of the end for sledging?

    I agree with your basic premise and the yardstick is an interesting idea, though it's become a bit hard to tell the difference between Richie's smile-face, impassive-face and disapproval-face in recent years. Would be interested to see his ***-face to see if there's any variation there.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Fair enough. Didn't really think it was worthy of a FFS, TBH :p

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Yeah, I re-read it several times already, trying to find where you might have gotten your interpretation from. He was answering this question: "Iranian women are now denied basic human rights and your government has imposed draconian punishments including execution on Iranian citizens who are...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    This is off-topic, but I honestly don't know how you've come to your interpretation of Ahmadinejad's comment. He was answering a question at Columbia regarding Iran's treatment of women and homosexuals, and he responded: "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals, like in your country. We don't have...

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    Yeah, I feel some sympathy. I don't feel that he went out of his way to make poor decisions. It's a brutal job, and because of uproars like this, you tend to get remembered far more for the way your career ends than when you were at your peak. Just addressing a question you asked in another...

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    Could there be an error here on the part of the paper? (The Courier Mail is hardly a bastion of quality journalism.) If I read this correctly, the Indians are trying to claim that Hogg's "bastard" comment is racist, because it raises the matter of somebody's descent. If this is true, it's one...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I think shortpitched was being sarcastic... Stranger things have happened though, there aren't any homosexuals in Iran, for example.

    Andrew Symonds as a Test cricketer?

    Missed this earlier - it feels a bit indulgent to bump the thread (I feel guilty for not responding to everybody who said hello to me individually, but it's for the same reason) but I very much appreciate your mentioning me in creating the thread AND everyone who wished me a happy birthday...
