    Strauss...luckless

    Couldn't agree more. In just about every article I've read, that particular dismissal is being cited as unlucky. In fact, the exact opposite is true, IMO. If he'd been given not out, he'd have been extremely lucky. Umpires will give those out 9 times out of 10 if no shot is offered, and so...

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    I'd seriously consider Gilly - aside from how extraordinary it all was, wasn't it essentially chanceless? Hussey had a fair few let-offs/chances in his second dig, although he could certainly still take it with a strong first innings also.

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    No point, by now. It'd look slightly preposterous, IMO, unless rain was really on the horizon, which doesn't appear to be the case. Great stuff by the Aussies, the Ashes are returned, and a whitewash really looks on the cards - but you never know what can happen when you get to the dead...

    I think Prince might have copped that one in the janglies.

    Caption: The Shoaib and Darryn Lifson

    Akhtar blinked the crap away from his eyes and gasped for air after being rescued by the Pakistan physio once again. This time, his head had been up his ass for a whole six months.

    Aussie Public going soft?

    OK, I admit I felt some hardness watching Gilly tearing it up yesterday. That aside, I'm probably getting more thrills out of India serving it up to the Saffies.

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    I'd agree there's a chance. It'd probably be more tired than emotional though (with Hughes it wasn't so much about results as the constant harrasment by other senior players), and I don't know that he really coveted the job like Kim did. Got no problem with sending in Hoggard as nightwatchman...

    England - A rabble?

    LOL, I guess that question was rhetorical, but I think some of the players might have gotten a kick out of it. ;) Anyhow, like a few others, I don't think attending concerts would have much of an impact on anything, and if they were winning the series (which they're clearly not good enough to...

    How much have England being missing Monty!

    He's done really well - there's certainly a possibility that the result of Adelaide might have been different. I just couldn't believe it when he stepped into the side and immediately took a five-for. Looks to have a great temperament, and ought to have a good career - didn't seem too cowed...

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    Funny game, this. I caught the Gilly knock, absolutely superb, I felt privileged to see it. Amazing hitting. It was surprising to note how often the commentators today entertained the notion of England actually winning this match. Chasing 550-odd, I just can't see it, even taking the...

    Disappointed by Channel 9

    Relatively speaking, IMO Channel Nine have been excellent this year, so I'm surprised at the criticism - they've been repeatedly willing to stay with the cricket and delay the news at the end of the day. This test has been more awkward because of the timezone differences, and the fact that if...

    Aussie Public going soft?

    I've been a bit soft for some time now, to be honest. Besides, I can't see how you can really rub it in, the English supporters are used to all this anyway. You've got more of a chance of some serious taunting/ridicule when there is more of a contest and one or two of them get mouthy...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa

    Don't mind Nel either. You're right, he does sometimes go overboard and make an ass of himself, but often he's just as likely to have a real go at himself for bowling a poor delivery as he is an opposing player for taking him on, and he seems capable of giving credit where it's due.

    Murali's run out and the spirit of the game.

    LOL, weren't NZ awarded some big "Spirit of Cricket" last year? I agree with much of what Jono has said in this thread. The "spirit of cricket", or good sportsmanship, or whatever you want to call it, isn't dead as long as we see examples of it, and we obviously still praise those situations...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa

    Wow! That exchange between Sreesanth and Nel was one of the best I've seen for a while. Nel delivers a lecture about "heart", and then gets hit straight over his head for six - what a reply! Loved the bat-twirling afterwards, too. I know that Nel did some arm/hand twirling afterwards, but in...
