    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    Disappointing for Hilfenhaus but gee McKay has enjoyed a meteoric rise since the Champions League. Though with his form for NSW in mind, Bollinger surely deserves another opportunity.

    Mohammed Aamer, Umar Akmal and Adrian Barath

    Brendan Nash was struggling to nail down a spot in the state side a few years ago. He's had a relatively solid start to his career to date, but his selection fairly illustrates the dire straits which the West Indies find themselves in at the moment. I really lament not being able to watch the...

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    I'll watch as much as possible. Gratingly I've got school on the weekdays, so I'll probably only catch the final session then (notwithstanding some lunchtime scorecard updates in camera, with the assistance of Cricinfo). I also have requiste extra-curricular commitments on Sunday, which...

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

    NSW 3-290 at stumps on Day 1 (vs. Tasmania). Clarke on 92*, promising signs ahead of the 1st Test. Jacques, Katich and Khawaja also made half centuries.

    *Official* Sri Lanka in India

    Bravo Dravid! A quintessentially sublime and admirably tenacious innings delivered with uncomplicated panache. 11,000 Test runs, an extraordinary achievement! Hope he can persevere tomorrow and reach another milestone. Congratulations also to Dhoni on a long overdue 2nd test Century. Done...

    How did you get into cricket?

    It's difficult to recall exactly, though I think it wasn't until the 05 Ashes that I paid proper attention to international cricket. My earliest recollections are of McGrath's exemplary first spell at Lords, then feeling a mixture of disgust and vexation while Flintoff and Pietersen were...

    The best batsman and bowler of the 1990s

    I agree that there are a number of candidates for both best batsman and best bowler and that its quite difficult to split them apart. Nonetheless, I'll go with Tendulkar (in his prime then) and McGrath (one of the select few who could consistently antagonise/trouble Lara). Both these...

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    I agree, shame about the tight scheduling; though nowadays it’s all part and parcel of international cricket, not to mention countless other professional sports (such as tennis off the top of my head). I think that if there were fewer meaningless fixtures (especially the excessive amount of...

    Batter or Bowler?

    I'd classify myself as an all-rounder, though most of the cricket I play is facetious backyard stuff and purely recreational. I also participate in youth cricket at school, and its not uncommon for the other kids to be able to bat and bowl, even if they prefer or are superior at one...

    *Official* Australia in India - ODIs

    Aus, actually (see location and avatar). Irrespective of that, my respect for Tendulkar is subjective. Unfortunately, I'm not such a big fan of Watto (never have been too partial really) but even I'll admit he's a much improved player. Bowled well in the last game; just have to hope he stays in...

    *Official* Australia in India - ODIs

    Putting the discrepancies in opinion aside (which have being made evident over the last few posts), I'd just like to praise Ponting for his admirable leadership over the course of the series to date. He has contributed with some spectacular runouts in the field as well as consistently posting...
