    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Who was the guy that was measured at 22 degrees straightening in lab tests, before their remediary work? Was that Shoaib Malik, or was it Shabbir?

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    That English confidence is a fragile thing.... :p Seriously, I hope it's an exciting finish, although I kinda think England will wipe it off a little more comfortably.

    Sir Vivian Richards - master or myth?

    Haha, I actually voted "no" in that thread for both of them (but I had my own confusions over other people that were passed over, mainly bowlers, but that's another story). Perhaps I should add a qualification: this era of batsman-friendly cricket has so many players averaging 50+ or close to...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    I'm not sure I buy the whole "Gayle has to stop looking so laid-back" part of it all. I think a lot of this kind of perception (in terms of interpreting laziness from his affect) is cultural - also, it didn't seem to affect Desmond Haynes much at all, and you could argue at times that Viv...

    West Indies: A call for euthanasia

    Eh? I guess he doesn't mean the last three years here... I honestly can't tell how serious the writer is about calling it quits or relegation, but it gets a bit tiresome to hear this line after a while - particularly when the West Indies are predictably struggling against the number one (for a...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    I'm really interested in how Bell goes this innings - something substantial just might be required from him, and a good score to complement his decent effort in the first innings could really be the making of him, because there is going to be a fair degree of pressure on the Englishmen here -...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    To be fair, the previous mistake you cite penalized Pakistan, rather than favouring them. But in essence, I agree - why the hell aren't third umpires from neutral countries? I don't see why an exception should be made to how the field umpires are considered. It obviously must come down to...

    Is Collingwood good enough to be a regular Test batsman?

    No. Very capable ODI player though, and I'm a fan.

    Battle of the Cricketers

    Sir Richard Hadlee - he's definitely the best I've ever seen. Very unfortunate for Holding, as this would have made a magnificent semi (or even final, for that matter).

    Wives and Kids on Tour

    The bit about not having *** on tour because it'll affect your performance? How do you substantiate that? Two words for you: Shane Warne.

    Sir Vivian Richards - master or myth?

    And you'd be right. Is anybody really doing that though? From reading the thread, it more seems to me a lament for what might have been, rather than "boredom" being described as a wonderful attribute. I could be wrong, though. For me, his statistical decline is mainly a matter of batting for...

    Sir Vivian Richards - master or myth?

    No, because they generally a) were sleeping with someone else, or b) they never came back. Man, you just brought up a sea of bitterness. So screw you, Viv. And about you and my third best friend, I knew, you *****.

    Battle of the Cricketers

    LOL... or Carmine Appice, for that matter.

    Video Clips: My Batting

    Unfortunately the first link's embedded media player crap consistently crashed my browser. The second url was fine, but I only saw the charge pull avi there. How many of those lollipops did that poor guy have to bowl outside off-stump until you got it right, Neil? :) And by "right", I mean...

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia

    I dunno, considering the fragile Aussie middle order and the lower bowling stocks, maybe we'll get a bit of a contest going in this series. Has the potential to be interesting.

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Ah, OK, thanks. Funnily enough, that could have entailed a little more work - you'd think they'd just preserve the same list of bats remaining, only with Hoggard missing from the list. Dunno how their software works though.

    Caption this: Dravid

    Hahaha, the Magnolia quote (or misquote) that springs to mind just isn't suitable for a family forum.

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    I think it's 'cause it's frequently used as a racial slur in the UK.

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    You're probably right, but I'm not sure that what happened today and late yesterday necessarily proves it. I think I'll wait on that evaluation until the end of the series. :p I've seen none of this match, but England look to just about have this one just about sewn up, and should be able to...

    Battle of the Cricketers

    That's a bit catty, mate. Firstly, there are plenty of people (including quite a few ex-players, writers and publications such as Wisden) that rate Lillee extremely highly, so I don't see why you should single out T_C and myself. Secondly, many of those people aren't even Australian, so I...
