    Imran Tahir is white apparently

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. Still a while till the tour, and Johnson has time to get his confidence up really high and pick up a lot of wickets, without swinging the ball. If we also get Bollinger into the side, it's still very much a world class bowling line up. Whilst it doesn't quite...

    Imran Tahir is white apparently

    He is the 3rd best bowler in the world at the moment, and the second best pace bowler. According to this list. Morkel comes in at number 44.

    I am lucky when i bat left

    Yeah, I read an article on it a year or so ago. You would obviously have to start young though, I doubt many people could switch hands in their teens or in their senior years (as a cricketer).

    **Official** Quadrangular Four Nation 20/20

    Sri Lanka and Pakistan will make it to the final, and Sri Lanka will take it out comfortably. This thread isn't going to well, is it?

    Sports Wrap

    This is the thread where I will post up my newsletter. It will consist of mainly Cricket, through the summer at least. More league will make it's way in during summer. It should be monthly, but occasionally it might be fortnightly. Anyway, first edition should be a few weeks away. Enjoy. :)...

    ***Official Australia in India***

    Great start by Ponting. He has been pulling and driving the pace bowlers with the same venom he has for over 10 years. I hope he can really push on with this when the spinners come on and get his confidence levels high for when he has to face Singh. He also knows where his off stump is, he is...

    FFS! I go outside to bring in the bins and Clark picks up 2 wickets in the over! Pathan is still there, only 1 wicket in hand and 451 runs on the board. EDIT: Johnson picks up Chawla, and his 4th for the match. Clark got 3 and Lee 1, Siddle bowled well for 2. Krejza didn't bowl a ball all day...

    If Pathan stays in and gets some support, I wouldn't rule it out. 428/7.

    'Fab five' told to plan for retirement

    Stupid that people think James was trolling. Absurd accusation. Now, who will be their replacements? I think Sharma and Badrinath will take two of the batting roles, but I don't know enough about India's lower grades to pick the rest.

    ***Official Australia in India***

    It's more the fact that we have dropped a proven test player, who had a great summer last season, and put in an injury prone, over-rated player who will pull a hamstring if he bowls a few overs. Plus, his form when he returned for the Bulls last season was terrible, he got around 3 ducks on the...

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

    TEENAGER Steven Smith has kept Australia spinner Beau Casson out of the NSW Blues' starting line-up for the opening one-day domestic fixture against Western Warriors in Perth next Wednesday. More... What next? We are calling for his selection for Australia and he can't even make the New South...

    FFS, I hate that. Jaques has done nothing wrong whatsoever, and is a much better opening option than Katich in my opinion. He is a specialist opener, who has made 3 100's and 6 50's in 11 matches at an average of over 47. What more could you want? Sometimes I give up of these selectors. First...

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

    As I mentioned, I only saw the highlights, where they show batsmen clubbing boundaries, and he seems to be put away a lot from what I saw.

    ***Official Australia in India***

    I can see your point, but with the way we performed today, and Bollinger has performed in India of late, they are the best bowlers we have at the moment, and if they will get us 20 wickets without farting around the Krejza undoubtedly will, then so be it. They should be selected, regardless of...

    I am lucky when i bat left

    Well, you are actually supposed to bat with your best eye forward. So if your best eye is your right, you bat left, and vica-versa. I have tried batting left, and I think that if I did it every day for a few years, I could get decent at it, but I am going to stick with my right hand style.

    ***Official Australia in India***

    Finally someone who speaks some sense! I have been getting at these two all series, and Katich ahead of the over-rated hack Watson. Whilst at the moment I think we need to wait to see Krejza bowl some more, I will admit I had him in the side after McGain's injury. But after the first day alone...

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

    Last season Hauritz was bowling fairly dire, and was going for a fair few runs in the Ford Ranger Cup. I didn't see him bowl much, mainly highlights, where he was being ripped to pieces by the oppositions batsmen. Is this correct?

    ***Official Australia in India***

    I'm definitely looking forward to it, hoping he can get some good match practice in against some decent spinners on some spinning tracks. I have never seen Ojha, so I cannot comment on him, but I have seen Chawla, and he is nothing like Harbhajan and Kumble. He is smaller, and doesn't generate...

    You didn't make it. That's good, what grade do you play in?

    The pitch was getting footmarks after the first session. :p Looking forward to seeing what him and Johnson can do in the second innings, hoping Krejza can do well, for Australia's sake.
