    Opening the batting

    Number 3 or 4 are more there to score runs, usually your best batsmen should go in these positions. The openers should take shine off the ball, and score a few runs as well, but mainly set things up for the middle order.

    You vs Chris Martin

    Hmm. Interesting question. Martin can't bat at higher levels, but I bet not many people here could go in to bat, ball coming down at 150 clicks, swinging, bouncers that are too well directed and fast to get away from, that you have to take on the body. He would do ok at club level, and I rate...

    Opening the batting

    Well, they can vary. Some are rock solid, defensive, good technique, slow scoring run machines, whilst some are free the arms, hit the ball out of the park type.

    Cricket team draft

    Two good picks, they were both on my list to select for next round. My turn is so far away, this will take ages!

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    I would argue that Martin > O'Brien. Both are similar bowlers, beats me why O'Brien went about trying to intimidate the Australian batsmen, mainly the tail, when he came over with the Kiwi's for a visit. Surprisingly though it worked. In 2-3 years time, Southee will be miles ahead of Mills...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

    He is carving up. On 154* now, in a partnership with Griggs with 220 now, Griggs on 134*. 5/437.

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    McCullum gone, apparently Taylor has been bowling well and deserved that wicket. The new ball does the trick. Still a lot of batting to come from New Zealand, they should get to 450-500 and declare, and let the bowlers rip loose and bowl the Windes out twice for under 450 in total.

    Cricket team draft

    It will be amazing if he still remains when I come along, I still have 4 back up players though.

    Cricket team draft

    Yeah, we should do that. So say I come on and it's been 24 hours between the last pick, and someone else already went, I can pop on and go out of turn there and get my pick done. Sound fair people?

    Cricket team draft

    I think it's unfair, because some days I cannot be on. Ya know, going out, school with things to do at night, cricket training, parties etc. I reckon you should have unlimited time, but try to do it as quickly as possible. Everyone to subscribe to this thread, if they haven't already.

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    Don't really see that catching up much time, 16 overs are not going to be bowled in 30 minutes. Will they play a bit later in the evening if possible, or just the extended half an hour to the first session and that's it?

    ***Official*** South Africa In Australia

    They think there is the slightest chance of getting 4 innings done in 2 days? Really hope SA bat first, and prevent the South African batsmen getting as much time at the crease as possible.

    ***Official*** South Africa In Australia

    How odd, thought Kallis would do a bit more than that slow, selfish innings. Typical of Amla to own again, expecting him to have a decent series, but not set the world on fire.

    ***Official*** South Africa In Australia

    Very interesting post, especially from an Australian fan. We don't have a test quality spinner at the moment, but we are working on Krejza especially, with Hauritz, for the future. He is probably our best hope according to what I have read, having never seen him bowl, apart from a few...

    ***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2008/09

    Great run chase from South Australia there, Klinger with another century, 133* continues his golden run this season. I have only seen one other one day domestic game where there were more than 600 runs scored, and the team batting second chased down 300. It was last year, also featuring South...

    ***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2008/09

    This is going down to the wire, South Australia require another 35 runs with 7 wickets and 28 balls remaining. Krejza just got Ferguson, who was 52 off 35, and looking to take the game home for SA. Hoping Christan can make some runs, but most importantly Klinger lead them home.

    My plan was to give you a Speedblitz Blues avatar when I win.
