  1. Slow Love™

    Nathan Astle Retired

    Sad to see the guy go - obviously a great servant of NZ cricket that either seems to be regarded as a guy who's output didn't really match up to his degree of talent, or as somebody that regularly punched above his weight amongst people I know. Seemed to run very hot and cold to me, and I feel...

    Who do you think are the best and worst odi captains currently?

    I would have ranked Lara very lowly too, but it does seem that people have been talking him up lately. Mind you, some of it could be relief after the sheer awfulness of Chanders. With Ponting also improving a reasonable degree it obviously indicates that it's a hard skill to learn, but if...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Wow, was Hayden at one-time ranked best ODI bat in the world? I missed that completely. Anyhow, some extreme remarks aside, I pretty much agree with kwigibo and Clapo - seriously, given the crap opposition, it's a bit of an idictment to go on about Hayden getting some confidence or some form...

    Trolls and Moderation Policies

    Surely you can tell the difference between JustTool and adharcric, mate. :huh: One's a valuable contributor to the site, and the other's pure troll. IMO JustTool's really not that much of an issue anymore - he comes and posts his Tendulkar rant, then he doesn't seem to hang around long unless...

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Good win to India, the bowlers kept their nerve and the target just got out of hand for poor Chanderpaul - was probably asking too much by the start of the 48th, really. Looked to be a really good innings though. Jono collects again. :)

    Has there been a boundary hit since Smith was dismissed? Not sure there has been, and that was around 10 overs ago.

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Yeah, I know, I feel really ominous about that call now. Could bring grief.

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Haha, thought Chanderpaul was run out. Carry on. But WI in deep poo regardless.

    Game over.

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Chanderpaul's on 64 now - I think he was on 60 around 11 balls ago (that he's faced).

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Nah, they probably know too, they just don't care. :laugh: I actually would have been barracking for the West Indians in this match, but I always find in a situation like this (unless it's Australia batting) that I find myself willing the wickets to fall for some reason...

    Two wides this over! Bloody hell, he's frustrating! But everybody knows that already.

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Haven't seen any of it, mind you, but Chanders appears to be in fantastic form so far this series. Going 100mph in the first game, and this time, the more eking out what's needed approach. Pacers are gonna have to bowl at least three overs here.

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    TBF, you'd probably have India behind if there were 70 more to get. WI have to get these runs. Still put India in front, myself, though obviously it's close. Don't need Tendulkar bowling wides though...

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Woohoo, this could be quite the sizzler. Smith out, 6 down and 50 runs needed. India in front for mine, Chanders a real threat though.

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    He's referring to the fact that what he said was intended only for whom he was speaking to, but it ended up being broadcast to a massive audience via microphone. Therefore, in these times with stump mikes picking up much that is said, players need to be more responsible about their incessant...

    The one player you want to play for your country

    Doesn't seem that crazy to pick Strauss over those players. Hayden's getting a bit long in the tooth, and Fleming and Gayle are a bit down on big innings by comparison to Strauss, who's got 10 centuries in 36 tests and has a 40+ average, and no cashing in at the expense of minnows. Yeah, he...

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Looks like it's hard to ramp up the scoring on this pitch - could be a nice one for Sharma to improve his average on. Had to go to cricbuzz to find that the second wicket had fallen, after cricinfo stalled.

    This is the moment Dr Bellows enters the room and says "Who are you talking to?" Wish this was on the bloody Foxtel.

    What is Ponting doing to Bracken?

    Nnanden's Bracken disguise would have passed muster without comment despite the fact that the long years of sewing with his mum's Janome meant the strip was well out of date - but ultimately it was Punter's keen eye on his rear end that revealed a tell-tale zipper.
