    Brilliant, elegant & excellent batsmen

    Brian Lara - fulfils every expectation of the flawed genius. Mixes the conventional with the unconventional seamlessly, and is through his strokes extremely fast without looking like he's stabbing at the ball. Greg Chappell - made everything look easy. Silky, and powerful, and put away some...

    Michael Clarke - all hype, no performance

    I respect Slats, but seriously.... tough titties. If being dropped means he never really gets his mojo back and spends the rest of his years playing domestic cricket (or sporadic international appearances), so be it, it's not a nursery, it's top level sport. Slater might have had a diagnosable...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Hoo boy, the English are staring down the barrell of a series defeat here (or at least, not winning the thing). I'll be really interested in how they respond tomorrow. Looks like Afridi put a few into the fence (and over it) too. Dunno why people are quibbling over the "demolish England"...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Wow, a very nice century by the looks of things by Bravo - I only saw sections of it, but he looked quite good. A funny thing - I felt that his dismissal (which was derided a little by the commentators as a "rush of blood") actually made a fair degree of sense, 'cause the guys at the other end...

    Sir Vivian Richards - master or myth?

    Related to this - Wisden did a funky little (or in fact, huge) analysis around three years ago, in which they measured the greatest test players (bowling and batting) as well as the greatest one-day players. They did so by weighting results by the opposition encountered, importance of each...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    In terms of local series, I think I'd have to go back to '96 against Sri Lanka for cricket as boring as this, although that series did have a chucking scandal in the middle of it to keep people awake. The weather's dull, there's little atmosphere, the play's been stop-start, and there's no...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Shoaib Malik is probably one of the worst offenders in the game as far as chucking goes. Earlier this year, he was lab tested at 33.4 degrees flexion.

    OK, but we could be a while... (I'm sure he'll take this in the good nature in which it's intended. :p)

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Funny thing is, as I have zero interest in soccer, I have to admit to kinda laughing when the Aussies (inevitably) go down, ridiculously hyped as they are, god help me. It may soon be possible to imprison me for this under new terrorism legislation, though.

    It doesn't matter the order - you trip him up and I'll kick him in the nuts when he's down. :) Saying such a thing after a bad day or two as if it proved his point really did seem like asking for trouble though....

    "That's a bewdy!"

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Cheers, mate. Though Inzy is much-maligned, I actually think he's a fairly decent captain - even if he's a little over-sensitive. :)

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    I did try to warn him... :nono:

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    For those that have been watching the match, how's Inzy's captaincy been? Well done Pakistan, well done.

    The Shoaib strikes!!!!

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    The runs aren't exactly coming thick and fast. But things seem to be slipping away a tad, and England are looking a lot better now.

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    You're counting your chickens as much as they were, because it's still very possible that 3-0 could happen. (Does this make sense???) C'mon Pakistan, don't bugger this up....

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    This game is far from over - I have it 60-40 Pakistan right now. Have the LBW calls turned down been very close, or were they flagrantly bad?

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Same here. ... and same here. Bwahahaha! *has howardj's dismissal of Pakistan as consistently poor and without heart on standby for quoting*

    Oops! Looks like I'm emulating PY's Kiss of Death today. Not that I'm complaining. :)
