    Battle of the Nincompoops

    Bit of a surprising result here, to me - could be the case that there's nothing specific cited for Speed that has resulted in him getting no votes. I don't think Malik's crimes go down to nincompoopery so much as just being a greedy, corrupt SOB. I might have said Goughy, if he ever expected...

    Michael Hussey - best ODI batsman in the world?

    Haha, fair enough, although Ponting's still like that fairly often, IMO, only with loads more experience. But I think our respective positions on Punter are obviously pretty settled by now. You're probably right about Clark, although the prime motivating factor there was possibly just...

    Michael Hussey - best ODI batsman in the world?

    I wouldn't quite say that - I think it was more the case that he lost his mojo (albeit temporarily, maybe if you consider his Tasmanian domestic career). But Bevo always had a problem when the scoring rate needed to escalate into the 9-10 run an over range, because he wasn't a real power...

    Caption: Razzaq and Mashrafe

    Mashrafe: "Um, your hand's got kinda a tight grip on my thigh." Razzaq: "You wanna complain? Your butt is like a g-clamp around my ****."

    The Bengali version of Purple Rain was a smash hit, with Mashrafe Mortaza as the troubled Kid, and Abdur Razzaq as Appolonia, leader of an all-girl dance/funk group.

    Vermuelen's Outburst - where will this all end?

    Hahaha, tough crowd, SS.

    Battle of the Nincompoops

    You're probably right about this, although it has to be said there's plenty about Punter's captaincy to criticize apart from his unfortunate Ashes toss mishap. Mind you, I can't stand him, so I'm happy for nature to take it's course. I'm not really familiar with the Slats Cold Chisel...

    Battle of the Nincompoops

    I guess nincompoopery can cast a fairly wide net. My recall of McGrath's comment was that it was more along the lines of what the side was aiming for, rather than an arrogant prediction, which is probably why nobody's voted for him so far. I guess you could say that Emburey was being a bit...

    Langer haunted by Ntini delivery

    Methinks James might have used a little dramatic license in that article, unless there's an actual quote out there where Langer actually says "I'm haunted by it". He's a tough bugger, Langer, and he's been hit in the head a fair few times. I also suspect he has the memory of a goldfish. :p

    Ponting faces Ashes ban

    Not the first time I've heard that said. I also wonder if he might be the least liked captain since Lawry. Obviously Kim Hughes was targeted internally by players that had issues with him being rewarded for being the ACB's boy, but I didn't get the impression he was that disliked that much...

    A Suggestion...

    There's a hack here that seems to be doing something similar to what you're looking for. You might have to upgrade to ver 3.6.0 though. (Of course, if captcha is built-in as this says, you could just use that.)

    Most boring batsman in the world

    Wow, I never heard that one before. Although you obviously could never compare the excitement level to that of his replacement, he was always a very busy batsman that looked to take control of a match. I noticed that a few people mentioned Chris Tavare, and he was certainly the most boring I...

    Vermuelen's Outburst - where will this all end?

    It really sucks when you're late to a thread with a juicy quote like this and everybody's already had a crack at it. All I can say is Craig, don't ever change. ;) As to the harshness of the penalty, I guess it's the thought of what he might have done with the boundary spike that resulted in...

    Caption : Ponting and Lee

    John Buchanan's latest innovation to keep the Aussie bowlers charged up was demonstrated ably by Ricky "Colonic Boy" Ponting, showing a dab hand with the team enema between overs.

    Is Adam Gilchrist an overrated test batsman ?

    Yeah, somebody posted this in a thread here last year. I don't know that he bails the team out as often as he comes in with runs on the board (it's a strong batting lineup, after all), but he certainly does it often enough to avoid being knocked for not doing it when the chips are down. As you...

    Cricket on YouTube

    I have no opinion as to the legality of linking to Youtube, but I don't know where you're getting the "Youtube owns the copyrights" stuff from, can you elaborate on that? Youtube's copyright help page has the usual provisos: What is your policy on copyright infringement? YouTube respects the...

    Is Adam Gilchrist an overrated test batsman ?

    I think he's probably past his best (and I'd have no problem being proven wrong on this) and has suffered a couple of slumps, but overrated seems to have various meanings, and I think there's an insinuation in this that somehow Gilchrist isn't equipped to perform in difficult, testing...
