    Ponting's solution: Bat second

    Yeah, agreed, unless he's playing funny buggers. But I'm sure the bowlers have their doubts about themselves in recent times, and some of them have had to address the issue in the press anyway, so I don't think he necessarily did a lot of harm there. It's all very well for people to say that...

    Why Pakistan is best known as cornered tigers

    :laugh:

    Ponting's solution: Bat second

    He may just be kidding, but I don't think it's stupid at all. Yes, Australia really need to sort out their problem defending large totals, but it's a tournament that gets played once every four years, and we should be giving ourselves the best chance to win. We're very good chasers, so why not?

    Stuart Clark - ODIs

    Can't say I disagree with much that has been said here about the OTT talk of Clark's obvious numero uno status in the media when it comes to one-day cricket, but I have to say I still hold hopes for him becoming a decent ODI bowler. I'd have probably had him in front of Tait, too.

    Males banned from watching the women world cup qualifiers in Pakistan

    Sorry mate, I meant here as in Australia, not the forums.

    I blame death by punning.

    Why Pakistan is best known as cornered tigers

    This thread title has me thinking of Rob Sitch with a silly wig doing his "Like a Tiger..." routine. Aussie fans of "The Late Show" might remember it.. :)

    How good a captain is Hussey?

    :) Inevitable, really. Welcome to the "George W. Bush or Chimpanzee" webpage. This is a little project I decided to start once I realized how much George W. Bush looks like a chimpanzee. I'm not a member of any political party, and I have nothing in particular against the man. I just think he...

    Males banned from watching the women world cup qualifiers in Pakistan

    Yeah, pretty much, though an addition to "banned", might also simply be "not organized", "discouraged" or "not supported". It's a subtle distinction, though it can often mean essentially the same thing. Wouldn't change my point, anyway. As to the bolded part, there are of course standards...

    Males banned from watching the women world cup qualifiers in Pakistan

    Well, it's obviously complicated, because to my understanding most of this doesn't follow a linear historical path anyway, and in parts of Pakistan (and other parts of the world) things moved radically backwards in the 80's and 90's in terms of rights for women with the upsurge in fundamentalism...

    Australian Cricket .... Beginning of the End ?

    Yeah, I kinda agree with that to a degree, but the choking thing is more about the moment, in terms of how you feel with the series/tourney at stake. Though obviously, if a tendency is identified in your past, that can sometimes have an additional effect on the pressure you feel - and I daresay...

    How good a captain is Hussey?

    But a monkey clearly can, and does. OK, probably one response to this too many.

    How good a captain is Hussey?

    Haha, can't tell if Richard is being sarcastic or not here. :) If not, I wasn't talking about his wicket or batting celebrations, at all. Quite the opposite.

    Australian Cricket .... Beginning of the End ?

    That's only in your opinion though, and in terms of the South African cricket team wanting to win ODI tourneys, be they their own home series, the VB/CB series or whatever, I doubt they would share your viewpoint when the series is at stake. You're at your most tested in those situations, and...

    "Fielding is the most important part of cricket"

    Well, yes and no, I guess. I do agree it's said by coaches to make you work harder in fielding drills (in order to make you better fielders of course), but while it's not the most important part of cricket, I do believe it's a crucial aspect that can operate as a foundation on which to build...

    Australian Cricket .... Beginning of the End ?

    Can't help feeling you're perpetually missing Faaip's point, Richard. The argument he's making is that Australia had a tendency to WIN those important, decisive or "crunch" games, and the Saffies had a tendency to LOSE (or tie, in the '99 debacle :p) them - and pointing out that Australia could...

    Males banned from watching the women world cup qualifiers in Pakistan

    I had this two or three-day flamewar with this guy a few years ago at a forum, and he said the most obscene thing about my mother - it was simply so disgusting that I had to laugh. I told the guy that my mother had been reading over my shoulder (this wasn't remotely plausible considering what I...

    Males banned from watching the women world cup qualifiers in Pakistan

    TBH, this really isn't the greatest advertisement for your beliefs. Where my tolerance of this ends is where the woman has no say in her ability to interact with others. IMO that is not evidence of women being a symbol of honor so much as it is treating her as a possession without her own...

    Males banned from watching the women world cup qualifiers in Pakistan

    Haha, yeah, I was so deluded about the forces at work here that I specifically mentioned them. 8-) Sometimes I wonder how people think change is enacted. In my teens I probably would have had a similar stance to yours, and I still refuse now to treat all cultures as if they are merely...

    **Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

    FRAZ obviously accounting for the Saffie choke factor. Dunno who I'm picking really, I favored the Sri Lankans in the Champions Trophy and got burned, but they're certainly a chance. The Aussies are no certainty, particularly with a few key players under injury clouds. My sentimental favorite...
