    *Official* England in South Africa

    I wonder how much Graeme Swann's drop off Onions will come back to bite England. The other Graeme has played a magnificent knock which has put his team firmly on the front foot. A rather aggressive declaration as well, though fair enough. And GIMH, loving the optimism. Wish I had more of it...

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Firstly, commiserations to all the Pakistan supporters who must be felling gutted (and rightly so). The captaincy of Yousuf was absolutely dire and partially to blame, IMO. The Pakistani batting was also terribly inept. In reality, the target wasn't that insurmountable; the batsmen were just...

    *Official* England in South Africa

    Second, actually. :happy: A significant breakthrough nonetheless. Prince continues to look pedestrian as an opener. Don't think that's his spot.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Akmal :laugh: Hussey getting as many lives as a cat. Next wicket might be game over though, as far as Australia's chances of winning.

    *Official* England in South Africa

    ATWA. Loving the current series; the battles between bat and ball have been so engrossing and fascinating to watch, even from a neutral's perspective.

    *Official* England in South Africa

    JP Duminy :( I had such high hopes after the promise and maturity he showed in Australia. Alas, it's all pretty much all gone downhill since then. Kallis needs to grind it out here - massive burden being placed on him now.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Some mixed emotions on my part concerning the current state of affairs. Being an Aussie supporter, it was frustrating to see the lack of focus and application shown by the majority of the batsmen. Personally thought that we played a bit too impetuously early on and employed an aggressive...

    ***Official***Australian Domestic Season Thread 2009/2010

    :( Outstanding all-round performances from Hussey and (especially) Bravo, tbf. Dave Warner was the key wicket and NSW just couldn't find a match winner despite the best efforts of the two Smiths.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    That's a demoralising blow for the Pakistanis. I'm not sure where the penetration in their attack will come from now, especially with the possible ludicrous inclusion of Sami, although Kaneria could pose some problems. I'm quite disappointed myself as Aamer is a very adroit and potent bowler...

    *Official* England in South Africa

    Gritty innings from Cook; expended a lot of patience and mental fortitude. A timely knock for himself as well as in the context of the match situation. The game was begging for a someone to stand up and make a hundred.

    Dougeh! :wub:

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    ATWA; the declaration was effective assertive captaincy by Ponting. Pakistan seemed surprised and consequently were uncertain in their approach of the target. The Australians are now firmly placed and have the upper hand after an inspired performance by the bowlers. Just hope that the batsmen...

    *Official* England in South Africa

    Bottom edge, according to Cricinfo. Can't believe Onions hasn't had a look in yet after lunch. Dire captaincy from Strauss; superfluous use of part timers IMO.

    *Official* England in South Africa

    **** I love test cricket in South Africa! (admittedly just following the action on Cricinfo). The contest between bat and ball is so often stimulating and fascinating as a spectacle. Actually felt a peculiar sense of ennui watching the Australians bat today; after the first hour or so the...

    The CW50 - The Top 3

    Magnificent work Sean! Especially enjoyed reading the very meticulous write-ups. A fairly predictable but nonetheless deserving top three in the end. Something else worth noting, IIRC: Warne was the only player with 100% selection.

    Shane Watson, you're a star

    WAG :wub: Just thinking of his batting is delightfully orgasmic. Wish he'd stop being such a wanker though. :ph34r:

    How good is Ponting's pull shot?

    AWTA. Chris Gayle seems to think he's onto something, though. How the Windies exposed Punter - Australia - Fox Sports

    ***Official***Australian Domestic Season Thread 2009/2010

    Looks like Phil Hughes has got the nod as Ponting's replacement if required. You mention Jacques, but one also has to ponder the lack of compassion shown to Chris Rogers. His diposition has been elicited as a possible complication, but he's been in superlative touch with the bat for the Vics...

    *Official* England in South Africa

    England must pick Wright - Thorpe | Cricket News | South Africa v England 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com Am a tad surprised, tbh. He seems to have some potential but he's surely a bit wet behind the ears to be blooded into Test Cricket? He's only had moderate success in ODI's to date and seems to be a...

    Best left handed batsman of all time

    I tend to favour de Silva as well; hold him in very high esteem though I've never watched him bat live (on television). Though IMO Sanga might eclipse him once his career finishes. As for the poll, it's none other than Sir Garfield St Aubrun Sobers for me - a consummate cricketer and arguably...
