    Battle of the Test captains

    Well Bacher did a lot for South African cricket, but not really much as captain. Winning 4 Tests out of 4 is no mean feat, but he was in charge of probably the best South African side ever. Fleming for me.

    Does China have hope in Cricket?

    Like it or not, politics is, and always has been, a part of sport. Sport can play such a large role in the national identity of a nation, of course politics will have an effect on it. I certainly don't think China's human rights record should be disregarded if they're to play cricket, just as...

    Ball-Tampering Hearing

    :laugh: :laugh: I suppose you have evidence that the Pakistanis cheated then?

    Ball-Tampering Hearing

    Well I was wrong there.

    Ball-Tampering Hearing

    Pretty much what was expected. I expect the PCB will appeal, but they should be pretty pleased with the outcome.

    Indian bowlers

    Well he had an excellent first tour of Pakistan. Probably still his best series with the ball considering the pitches and the opposition. At that time he was really looking the part at international level.

    Battle of the Test captains

    Close call for this one. Cronje did a lot for South African cricket and took them close to the top in both forms of the game, however Benaud is often called Australia's best ever captain.

    Coaching Talents of Greg Chappell

    Well I still don't seee those 100s of interviews - I see a few interviews and a few general articles where they've asked for Chappell and others to comment on matters that he should know about. It's not a high horse, it's a fact that the majority will never be well-informed and will largely be...

    Battle of the Test Bowling

    They're getting difficult to choose now. Tayfield was bowling at a smaller target, and a brilliant middle-order surrounded by some fairly average players, while Sarfraz just blew the team away in the space of a few overs. Close, but Tayfield.

    Who is a better young all-rounder Watson or Bravo

    So does Pietersen play spin-bowling poorly because he likes to score off it mostly with the sweep? There's no logic in that - obviously any player is going to play to his strengths. If Bravo makes most of his runs off spin bowling through the midwicket region, it doesn't make him a bad player of...

    Coaching Talents of Greg Chappell

    If you're going to make claims, then be prepared to provide some evidence. Where are the "100s of GC interviews in the media"? 1. adharcric called "a large number" of Indian fans idiots, not all - and that's entirely true. A large number of most cricket fans are idiots, of if you don't want to...

    Indian bowlers

    With some people calling Sreesanth, Munaf et al mediocre etc, I thought I'd do a quick comparison of how they've done so far (Tests only): Sreesanth 19 @ 29.79 after 5 (2 Eng, 3 WI) Munaf 24 @ 28.33 after 6 (2 Eng, 4 WI) ------------------------------------------------------- Pathan 18 @ 39.33...

    Battle of the Test captains

    Pataudi played in 12 Test wins in total, 9 of them as captain. The wording on Cricinfo is a bit misleading.

    Pataudi easily.

    Ball-Tampering Hearing

    Well, I think it was suspected that that was the case, but now it seems confirmed. At any rate, you're right, you have to wonder what Proctor was thinking. Perhaps he thought he could first get the Pakistanis to agree to play on, then maybe get Hair to go back on his decision to end the match...

    Ball-Tampering Hearing

    Interesting thing, according to the report on CricInfo, is that Inzy and co apparently weren't informed that through their actions they had forfeited the game: If the above is true, Proctor stuffed up big-time. If nothing else, Inzy and the Pakistani management should have been informed that...

    Warne: England are favourites

    Exactly. Now it's Warne saying England are favourites, next it'll be Flintoff or Pietersen or somebody saying Australia are favourites.

    Bit of a stretch isn't it Jonesy?

    Bit of a stretch indeed....I don't understand why Jones would bring it up again, he's apologised and is commentating again, why make any comments about it?
