    Shane Watson

    Haha, Clapo letting loose with his true feelings here. Be sure to include that part in your letter to the editor. But seriously, he's ghastly, IMO, worse looking than Amanda Plummer. I happen to enjoy his wicket celebrations though - I thought we were a bit lackluster at times, and he's...

    Males banned from watching the women world cup qualifiers in Pakistan

    So, just to be straight on this, it actually is a step forward in the sense of women being allowed to play competitive cricket in Pakistan, right? (The article suggests that Pakistan wouldn't recognize or host such an event in the past.) If that's the case, I guess it's a case of baby steps -...

    How good a captain is Hussey?

    Yeah, that's it. Looked really livid - kinda reminded me of of AB after that one run loss in Adelaide against the WI, except that was a tad more savage. Showed he cared though, and demanded better.

    Plunkett admits to drink driving

    I'm with SS and social on this one. Plunkett was twice the legal limit AND he crashed into another vehicle. Given the case being discussed, I don't really think SS was overreacting either, and it seems to me that people were seeking from the outset to shift the argument away from what he was...

    oneday games in the 70's 80's and 90's

    Yeah, aside from conditions and whatever you think about the quality of batsmen and bowlers, I think Goughy's right. Batsmen were aware they should be scoring quicker than in tests, but they were (in hindsight) limited by their own expectations. Witness how innovative and groundbreaking it was...

    **Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

    Haha, I didn't mean eating out, it's just a longer way of saying eating Dick.

    Australian Cricket .... Beginning of the End ?

    In terms of this being the start of Australia's decline (I presume we're talking in the context of ODIs here), it's just all a bit too sudden for me to see it that way. We've just lost six out our last seven games against teams we were beating comfortably only days earlier. I think something...

    **Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

    Just a fantastic game. I would have comfortably won the Greiggy myself if I'd been able to get online - I gave the Kiwis no chance. At the start of the innings I was just sure it couldn't happen again - and then with 4 of them down in under 10 overs I was satisfied it was game over. Had in...

    How good a captain is Hussey?

    Doesn't he have a back problem that's been causing a fair bit of trouble though? In the long run, in order to make sure he was as fit as possible for the World Cup, not sending him over to NZ was probably a fair decision. Yeah, it sucked to lose, but a) it's only the C/H trophy, and b) there...

    **Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

    Haha, maybe they'll steal one somewhere, but by the last game, the Kiwis suspect fitness will be their undoing, and softies like Bond, Vettori and Oram will inevitably miss out, and we'll finish them off. BTW, I loved McMillan's reaction when he got his century and McCullum had to tell him...

    Hayden's 181*, how good was it really?

    You're not wrong. (I also thought Fiery's reaming gag wasn't too shabby either...). Hayden scored a century a couple of weeks ago that I thought was one of the scratchiest I'd seen. I'd been pretty much against his going to the World Cup up to that stage, tbh, and I was surprised that the...

    **Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

    :laugh: So, when does this Chappell-Hadlee thing get underway? Should be fairly interesting with a couple of ours having a well-earned rest. Can't see the Kiwis being much of a challenge though.

    Shoaib, Asif test positive again?

    I looked for a transcript, but to no avail, but I've found a way to download the whole thing. ;) Might take some time though. Nevertheless, it seems like it's only been mentioned by Warne himself. To my knowledge he didn't front any courts, and I certainly don't recall any time during the...

    Who is the worst C9 Commentator?

    Wow, Healy really dominating this poll. I just added to his lead - Breastcancergate didn't really contribute, I don't know WTF he was actually doing there, but I genuinely doubt he'd be mocking breast cancer victims, and his comments about Jane McGrath and others people in his life establish...

    Shoaib, Asif test positive again?

    Come again? Of the many discussions of this I've either read or participated in, that's the first mention I've seen of such a thing. Can you substantiate this claim?

    South Africa can topple Australia at top of LG ICC ODI Championship for first time

    Seems a fair enough comment. Generally speaking, finger spinning tends to be easier to control, while wrist spinners are more likely to do more with the ball but can struggle in terms of accuracy. Anyway, on the subject of the thread, the Saffies have certainly been in very good form in ODIs...

    Simon Barnes

    The split of opinion on this is actually quite funny. :) Don't know that I'd describe it as crap, but it's far from enlightening or interesting, from where I'm standing. He really didn't have to respond to Graveney's demand, I think most people would have regarded it as mind-numbingly idiotic...

    Sack Fleming says Parore

    Actually, unless I'm mistaken, Fleming's winning record is more around the 43% mark, which, if the other stat reproduced here is correct, makes the winning record under his captaincy lower than NZ's overall average. That's actually a really surprising stat to me. But this is one of those times...

    Paul Nixon

    Haha, not sure about that claim, Richard. I think your concern about being perceived as gay might set you back around the middle of the pack, TBH.

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

    True. Have to admit I giggled a bit at Fiery's faux pas though.
