    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Thanks for the report - who do you think has been the better bowler in the series so far out of Giles and Udal (with the understanding that neither set the world on fire)?

    Vaughn says that Kaneria is a better legspinner than Warne.

    Hahaha... "And I would have gotten him off too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids" Shahid is banned now, I just noticed (IMO it's a pity, 'cause though I understand why, I find him kinda amusing). And ClownSymonds isn't, which probably puts paid to them being the same person. I haven't...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    LOL. It should have read "KP and/or Flintoff". Getting tense again now, with the fall of Freddie....

    Caption? Flintoff.

    Andrew Flintoff's reaction said it all when the winner of the "Travel with the English Cricket Team on Tour in India" competition was announced as "tooextracool, from Bangalore".

    50 not out for Botham

    Not much love for Botham, I see. Happy birthday, Beefy. :) He was fairly popular in his playing days and just after (at least, that's how I remember things) - he seems to have lost a lot of that popularity since he became a commentator though.

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Yeah, I think the odds would still have to be in favor of a draw, in spite of England's atrocious start, and clearly we're unlikely to get the 45 overs supposedly remaining. So much to fight for here for both teams - it's quite plausible that England can still recover somewhat for a 1-1 result...

    How good - or bad - an umpire is Darryl Hair?

    Opinion of Hair will always be tainted by the Murali/chucking affair. As I've said previously in other threads, although I believe that Murali was hard-done by, I think that under the regulations at the time and the evidence available to him, it was a reasonable call at the time. His comments...

    Caption? Flintoff.

    Freddie thought his stint as a laughing clown at the ECB's charity fete was a real lark. He'd assumed he was supposed to give out prizes, but things seemed to work differently. Sure, the punters still stepped right up and inserted their balls, but after the down the chute part, he was given a...

    Zimbabwe,something has to change.

    There are two issues at play here. One is simply pertaining to human rights in Zimbabwe. Many of us have debated this until we're blue in the face, but as it stands, it's obvious that right or wrong, the ICC are determined not to "intervene in a political issue". But the other issue is...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Martyn for Bell and Langer for Strauss? :p I think Shane was arguing that he could only fit two Poms in his combined team, which is clearly silly.

    Avatar?

    Is the "B" word considered really naughty in England? I thought it was in fairly general usage over there. Here in Australia you might see it in an opinion piece in a newspaper or magazine, though I don't think it's usage here is as common. Certainly I would have thought that an album cover...

    Vaughn says that Kaneria is a better legspinner than Warne.

    My magic 8-ball says "YES".

    Vaughn says that Kaneria is a better legspinner than Warne.

    You think every new troll is Scallywag. :) I could be wrong, but I don't think he's returned (at least in any noticable way) since he was banned. Afridi_6 is similar to SW in general writing style and his constant misspelling of Vaughan's name, but I also just noticed that he used Shane...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Wow, what important innings from Bell and Pietersen earlier today! Great work from the two of them, and as a result, this series ain't gone yet. Excellent fightback from the Poms and it sounds like Pakistan blew more than a few chances. Can England still win this? In spite of a degree of bad...

    I would guess at a pinch that this will end up being the West Indies for many people. For me, the order of who I like apart from the Aussies can change with personnel, ie, I like Sri Lanka a lot more now than I did say ten years ago. Anyhow, as of the last five years or so: FROM (and...

    Ban David Lloyd IMMEDIATELY

    Oh man, that clip is definitely in laugh out loud territory. What an absolute shocker.

    Shahid_Afridi_6 = "Shane Warne"? Just a thought I had. Could be wrong though.

    I think maybe you meant to say "resistance is futile" here...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    I reckon Lehmann was actually quite ready to go, and when he offered to be dropped to accommodate Clarke in India, he seemed to be giving a clear signal to that effect. I don't think he felt that hard done by. I thought Martyn was screwed a lot worse.
