    Vaughan should stop talking rot

    Yeah, but he probably just knows that it will.

    Chuckers....

    Fair enough. I won't speculate as to what Meckiff's degree of straightening was - but IMO, finding out that so many bowlers were breaking the previous rules meant that we had no choice but to find some degree at which we didn't have the majority of international bowlers transgressing. And it's...

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Yeah, but in this instance, I prefer to look at what Gavaskar and his fellow selectors did, rather than what they said (and he's probably feeling defensive over accusations that the strongest team wasn't picked). It seems obvious they were trying to get at least one representative per "major"...

    Chuckers....

    I can't see how that can be fairly policed, given what we now know, though. Firstly, I don't like decisions made where an umpire is guessing as to the bowler's "intent". And secondly, it will lead to the scenarios Brumby mentioned - a) those with more unorthodox actions such as bent arms will...

    Vaughan should stop talking rot

    Yeah, it usually is, in that instance, although the circumstances are obviously very different, at least as far as it being a response to a natural disaster, anyhow (I know that your post here was TIC). I suppose that some argue that Musharraf should be regarded similarly to Mugabe, but not me...

    Haha.... Good point. :)

    ***Official*** Super Series

    There's also something else relevant when it comes to the Vettori vs Kumble selection decision. There was obviously (aside from the minnows Zimbabwe and Bangladesh) a commitment for some kind of representation from each test playing country. (Otherwise, why not just send the whole English...

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Future of Super Series in doubt - Malcolm Speed not sure it will happen again Looks like the ICC have retreated from the position that the Super Series could occur every four years - and it looks like they're suggesting that it if it does take place in future, it'll only be if there's a truly...

    Technology - What's Your Verdict?

    I think that the general consensus seems to be that it all went down pretty well. Myself, I was quite happy with how it went, and I think we got excellent results when the decisions were referred. But there are certainly some issues in terms of implementation. We still saw, as you mentioned...

    ***Official*** Super Series

    And Hayden gets Man of the Match.... Makes sense, although MacGill would have been worth quite a few CW bucks for me if it had panned out. :) Probably too many wickets in the lower order though. Unsurprisingly, Gilly gets Man of the Series...

    ***Official*** Super Series

    So I wonder who's up for MOM? Hayden, Gilchrist or MacGill?

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Quite a few members of this forum (and likely a few million Indians) probably did, when they realised he'd gotten a pair. Oh, Inzy... Only a matter of time, now. The World XI's effort with the bat continues to be disappointing - maybe if we're lucky we'll get a bit of excitement from Freddie.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Kee-rist, it's the "Croc Hunter Diaries"... Looks like it was a fairly exciting day's play today - unfortunately I missed nearly all of it. Sounds like Murali bowled a very nice spell, too. I'd like to see something from the World XI tomorrow - particularly from Lara or Inzy.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    I can't see the World XI getting anywhere near the 355 needed.

    Battle of the Cricketers

    Murali. This Benaud juggernaut had to come to an end sometime.

    The Smith and Vaughan Saga

    I was talking about Smith, not Vaughan. It was a reference to Smith's complaints about how the Aussies sledged him in his first test match. I have no reason to assume that the Aussie players particularly dislike Vaughan.

    Opinions on The Super Series

    Well, as a supporter of the Number One Team vs ROW XI concept, I would have to concede that this series has been a fairly dismal failure, because (but not only for that reason) for the most part, the ROW XI players just haven't come to the party, and they've been comprehensively outplayed...

    Battle of the Cricketers

    Smokin' Joe He carries himself like an all-time legend (for better and for worse)- and he frequently batted like one, too. One of those players that people would go to the cricket just to see.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Hmmm.... That's definitely a quote that could come back to haunt you. :)

    ***Official*** Super Series

    To be fair, he did say "whilst unlikely" and "wouldn't be surprised". Too disappointed in the whole thing to gloat, myself. :)
