    Mark Nicholas Dumped

    My enduring memory of Lloyd was his infatuation with Trescothick's "package" in the 2001 Ashes - he just couldn't stop drooling and muttering about it. It's possible that he meant what Tresco had to offer in terms of cricketing ability.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    :p (I wasn't sure whether some people were buying it.)

    ***Official*** Super Series

    LOL, some of this is pretty funny. I don't think for a second that Smith actually wrote this stuff though. It's a sendup, most likely written by this "Dan" guy..

    $$$****unofficial Ashes In Australia 2006****$$$

    Not the most convincing denial from Jones.... :) "It's probably just sour grapes and are you telling me that they've not done it?" questioned Jones. "What's happened on the field, happened on the field and I can't believe he's made that comment. I can't believe that a guy who didn't even play...

    the picture on CW games frontpage

    Yeah, but mate, the beach is a family-friendly environment. I'd understand your point better if I'd said "it's nothing worse than what you might see at the brothel." Of course, there's the whole competely valid gender exploitation argument, but I was only talking about whether the pic would be...

    This would probably make a thread unto itself. My worst commentary experience had to be Bumble and Thommo together (it had to happen) on the Ashes tour of England before last.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Can anybody link to Craddock's article, or is it not online? If it's in the Herald Sun, my chances of reading it are close to zero.

    Battle of the Cricketers

    I didn't see Bradman play live, obviously - although I've certainly seen plenty of footage, as have probably most of us. This comp was always going to be difficult when it came to players of older eras. It does feel silly sometimes to vote for somebody who you've never seen, and I usually...

    VVS Laxman v M Waugh v Gower

    So would I, probably, if those were my choices (although as I said, I still wonder at what Laxman might be capable of) - ultimately, though, I'd prefer somebody with excellent concentration and comparable skill who also puts the team's interests first. Scoring quick runs is often still relevant...

    VVS Laxman v M Waugh v Gower

    That probably has more to do with his undeniable talent. :)

    VVS Laxman v M Waugh v Gower

    Yeah, my response was mainly 'cause of the "Oh, Jacques!" :wub: :drool: tone of it all. :) And I appreciate that his concentration is excellent - but the whole "There is nobody in the history of the game who shows up - every time - willling to absolutely put everything on the line, like...

    VVS Laxman v M Waugh v Gower

    I suppose that Gower, Laxman and Waugh are similar in that they are all blessed with an elegancy and degree of talent that suggests their averages should be higher. In Laxman's case, it may well be that the best is yet to come - and he has certainly been a regular scapegoat for when India...

    VVS Laxman v M Waugh v Gower

    I can't tell if this is sarcastic, or the most loving fanboy post ever.

    I actually love Tony Grieg. But criticisms of Lawry, Taylor and (obviously to a far lesser degree) Benaud, are, IMO spot on (I'm not a huge fan of Nicholas, but I don't really mind him either) - I have felt like Benaud has been losing it for a few years now. Originally, I had thought that...

    Heath Streak Quits

    FWIW, I agree. It seemed like even earlier, he had abandoned his fellow strikers, when he articulated his return as giving Zimbabwe cricket the support it desperately needed. This implied that those who also participated in the rebel action (that he ignited and led) didn't. I was...

    ***Official*** Super Series

    I don't get the comments about Bangladesh, to be honest. I know it's such an easy, pat remark to make, but it misses the whole point - particularly in terms of counting innings totals (????).. On that basis, you could compare any dismal showing in a test (or ODI) to that of Bangladesh and...

    Michael Clarke - all hype, no performance

    Not sure this came out entirely right... :) But yeah, there would have to be some concerns amongst the selectors about the brittle-looking middle order since Martyn got the heave-ho. And Clarke is looking a little vulnerable. I think his problems can be resolved with more mental application...

    the picture on CW games frontpage

    LOL. But in terms of offensive (in the sense of not being child-friendly) - it's nothing worse than what you might see at the beach.

    Lucky Batsman (Richard may like this)

    zscore used to post occasionally at the ABC cricket forum. IMO, his blog is a must, and all cricket fans should have it bookmarked.

    Should the New Technology/3rd Umpire referrals trialled in the Super Series continued

    I liked it, and thought it worked well and should be continued - with a few provisos that I made in the other thread discussing the subject.
