    Mark Vermeulen. Still Crazy?

    Whether he's actually done this or not (I really wouldn't know), he probably shouldn't have gone home to Zimbabwe. Was he planning originally to relocate in England at all? If so, I guess his ban might have scuttled that idea, given he was looking to get back into international cricket.

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    Haha, among the more conservative of Fat Lady calls.

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    Getting downright embarrassing for the Saffies now. Could we see a ten wicket victory here?

    Ah, I see - cheers for the help. Yeah, that must be what happened: I was posting in the Champions Trophy thread, and I saw my sig appear multiple times. I generally just do a quick reply unless I'm quoting, so I guess that explains it. Weird that I've never noticed that before.

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    I think he's still got two to be used. EDIT: Power Plays

    LOL, gotta love Chanders' "Take me to your leader!" photo when they do the stats onscreen.

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    Not quite sure what I'd call the greatest ODI ever, but I'd comfortably rank Bangladesh's victory above the Wanderers game. Thankfully there's not much fear of that kind of outcome in this tourney. Anyhow, I'd still rather play South Africa. There'd be a fair bit at stake though - either...

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    Haha... To be fair I meant big finals. That game was probably the silliest I've ever witnessed, and I have my suspicions that either team batting second would have overhauled the other's total. Incidentally, I was watching highlights of that one the other day, and Tony Greig called it the...

    Didn't we used to have a setting where everybody's signature only showed once per page viewed? I'm seeing everybody's sig every post at the moment. I kinda liked that feature - any chance of having it turned back on?

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    Smith brings himself on to take a bit of pace off - good first over, only one run.

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    I'd love to see the West Indians take this - before the innings, I don't think I'd have given them a big chance to overhaul South Africa's target - regardless of the pitch. Funnily enough, I thought they actually put in a very good bowling performance - just thought it might be beyond them...

    **Official** Semi Finals and Final

    Plus he was out twice LBW. I had to feel sorry for Kallis earlier, he was striking the ball so well, but just picking out the fielders, and in the end, he just snapped - but given the criticism he gets for selfish play, you couldn't say he lacked intent. I'm really impressed by the West...

    Pakistanis warned for ball tampering again

    To be fair, probably implies he tried to rename the title after it seemed the first one didn't go through. I've done it myself, but you're best off loading the page in between just to make sure the first one didn't get posted.

    Box or helmet?

    I choose my testicles.

    Mark Vermeulen. Still Crazy?

    It's quite possible, although things have obviously gotten very serious for some of these players, with allegations that their safety (and in some cases, that of their families) has been threatened, and careers being effectively ended via political cronyism. Who knows what's going on behind the...

    How come English can't bat?

    LOL. Sterling work from aussie tragic in this thread. Though it should be said that the English have a remarkable ability to be self-critical which I quite admire, that I doubt many Australians could muster even after a long period with little success (it's broader than just cricket, or...

    Pakistanis warned for ball tampering again

    Wasn't that pretty much how it was though, before the new five run penalty? Don't know the specifics of this one, but a bit of a funny "opinion piece" from Conn. Probably well handled by Taufel though - if nothing was going on, no harm done, and if Pakistani players were doing anything rotten...

    Helmet or no helmet

    Yeah, pretty much. Certainly at professional level (as the original poster asks), I wouldn't contemplate going out there without one. Back when I played I often wore one without a grille/visor, but that was more due to laxness of team resources than anything else. Never wearing a box is...

    Shoaib 2, Asif 1. Both banned

    Sad, but the lengths of the bans seem pretty appropriate to me. I've got no qualms. Thought Shoaib looked a bit manbooby in the pics as he and Asif headed home after the test results, myself. Disappointed at the sloppiness of Akhtar's testimony, it seems kinda apparent that he knew what he...

    Slowness and Adverts

    Gah. Pretty awful for me over the last hour.
