    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    That shouldn't take to long. Even if it rains and we don't get a result, we have done the damage to their confidence and have the upper hand in the mental side of the game.

    Then make a declaration?

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    So is Swann's finger bad enough that he can't bowl? That could explain taking the new ball. England have nothing left to throw at us. Surely they should give Panesar some more overs with perhaps Pietersen or Collingwood at the other end not to tire out the seamers so much.

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    Congratulations to North, great innings, under the pressure of the Ashes, not the pressure of having to come in and save his team. :p Showed good patience with the balls outside off stump that he simply didn't want to play at. I haven't seen him lash out at one yet. Time to go beserk.

    How to improve test cricket

    No thanks. Personally, I'm against that.

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    I think it would be a better option for them to keep the spinners on. They have looked threatening on occasions. So, if there is no result in this match, the winner of the series will probably have 1, 2 or 3 wins next to their name. Lords will probably be a draw, say this is a draw, 3 games...

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    Time for Haddin, Johnson and if necessary Hauritz (he can have a hack when he needs to) to go crazy and score quick runs. A lead of 250 (unless time is a problem in getting there) and we should declare.

    How to improve test cricket

    Took this idea from another forum. If you could make changes to test cricket, what would you do? A few of mine: * Use the lights - When the light is dark and there is a few overs to get through that would be possible to finish use the lights if they are available for half an hour or an hour...

    Club cricket umpire dies in freak accident

    R.I.P When I saw this thread (on another forum, so I came here to check if we had this thread) I thought it was the umpire from the Australia v England Lions tour match.

    How do you think Michael Hussey will go?

    To add to my earlier post, I hope he makes runs, but, as with Hughes, I think he will average 35-45.

    Sashti Poorthi (Sixty Complete) : Sunil Gavaskar

    I do this as well. Only posted it once because I didn't want to seem weird. Well done.

    SJS your writing is nothing short of amazing. You say you did that quickly?

    Question.

    Yeah that sucked. Pretty lame that Ponting's game can't even have the Australian names. Brett Leap etc in the Australian captain's game was dire. At least Cricket 07 had the Australian, South Africa and England (IIRC) names rights.

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    I have never seen such an overuse of the word gun. Agree though. Was tired as feck last night so went to bed about 20 minutes into the second session, I thought we were going to fall apart although I had full confidence in Clarke to make a good score. I just wish he hung around till stumps...

    batting help!!!! for a 13 year old

    It depends. Where I play, in the lowest team (but next season that will change) the top speed of bowling is about roughly 100-110kph, but one guy who plays firsts and fourths would push 120kph. Then there are slow dibbly dobbly guys who shouldn't possess a threat to you.

    Because he looked threatening just before the brake.

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    Damn I wish Ponting could have survived till lunch. This could do MSP's confidence a world of good.

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    What about when he comes in at 2/30 or less, gets out cheaply, and puts pressure on the middle and lower order? C'mon guys, stick it out till lunch and go from there.

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    Fine leg or mid on/mid off. When I captain (school cricket, occasionally club cricket) put put my poor fielders with weak arms at mid off or mid on and my fielders (usually the ones who don't catch well, or the next bowler) with an arm at fine leg.

    *Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

    Really? :p On a serious note, I've said it multiple times, but if Hussey fails during this series, I can see him being dropped.
