    Signatures

    Don't know if anybody else is affected by this, but I seem to be seeing everybody's signatures with every post they make, rather than the normal seeing it once per page. Is it just me, or is it something that crept in with a forum upgrade?

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

    Don't think that "inside edge" of the boundary explanation made much sense...

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

    Quite a deadly trio to have at 5, 6 and 7.

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

    The commentators have been very unclear about these fours or sixes when it hits the rope. My understanding was that it was a four the other night because it hit the ground at the same time as the rope, like a yorker. I had always thought that hitting the rope/barrier on the full (as that...

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

    Thought Taufel's calling for clarification from the third umpire (after asking Rauf) on the Hayden appeal for caught when he hit it into the ground was both excellent umpiring and good use of the technology. I like his putting of the game first over his own opinions, given from memory he's...

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

    The Aussies finally relishing a chance to bat first and make a big one - good chance for a 320+ score here. Extraordinary innings from Hayden today though, kinda like watching a guy who hasn't picked up a bat in the off-season. They kept tossing up the watermelons, he kept mis-hitting it, but...

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Yeah, Sri Lanka under Ranatunga were stronger at chasing generally, but he'd still often opt to bat first on a belter. Particularly against a batting lineup that's a bit fragile under pressure like India's. But I guess they didn't lose by that much in the first game and they're looking fairly...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    Yeah, they're not going too bad here, I spoke too soon. I'd forgotten about SAF's difficulties cleaning up the tail of late (Nazir and Sami have put on nearly 50 now). If they can eke out a 170 lead or more (and currently it's around 140 or so) they could actually be in a somewhat decent position.

    Inzy gone. Think that's all, folks.

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Well, Gayle out first ball will sure help. Good old AA, never doubted him.

    Why is Jacques Kallis so disliked?

    He, too, uses Sanex products for his hair, feet and body.

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    Wow, can't quite believe what happened here. Last time I looked India were 3 for 230 or so with 15 overs to go, and Tendulkar and Dravid were cruising. Was it a case of a great comeback from the WI bowlers, or did the Indians throw their wickets away? (Or a combination of both?). Again, I...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    Things looking very hairy for Pakistan with the dismissal of Younis, 3 down for 20 or so ahead. What's the minimum needed here to challenge South Africa in the last innings? I'd think 170 or more would have to present a fair ask - seems quite a distance away now though.

    JustTool possibly tearing open his scrotum sweating on a Tundulkar ton-up scenario.

    Cricket Web RSS Feeds

    Think it might be something like: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/rss/" /> or <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/rss/latestnews.xml" /> or along those lines, anyway. Might need to cover a few mime types, I dunno.

    Cricket Web RSS Feeds

    Cool, I subscribed. BTW, most sites that have an RSS feed that I visit put a little icon in the far right of the address window to let users know instantly that it's available, but I don't see one at cricketweb.net. Maybe it needs a style tag or something in the header?

    ***Official*** West Indies in India

    This is going to be a big 'un, by the looks of things. Nice stuff from Uthappa to get them going. Out of curiosity, why has Lara sent India in twice on pitches yielding such big totals this series?

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    Interestingly poised match this one - anybody's game, and it'd be redundant to say the next session is absolutely crucial, obviously. Just watching the fill-in replay from the B&H 2nd final of '83 - wow, I remember that match pretty well. At the time I was 12 and was bitterly disappointed that...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Going into Gibbs' racial background before declaring it irrelevant was a bit of an odd tangent, but couldn't agree more with the rest of it.

    Why is Jacques Kallis so disliked?

    Haha, don't think I had quite the same picture come to mind, but he does look a bit of a thug, doesn't he? Once you've visited his website though, particularly regarding the Foundation and the Q&A ("I use all Sanex products for my hair, feet and body"), you can't help falling in love with him...
