    Is there still a substantial amount of racism in modern cricket.

    They're have been a few threads about the whole hair thing and the black South African players and it raises the question, Is there still a substantial amount of racism in modern cricket? Now I emphasise the word substantial because they're is always going to be some racism.

    When I play in my backyard with my brothers or when I play in P.E lessons with my mates I'm a pretty decent batter. But when I play with a helmet I'm awful my question is are helmets compulsory?

    The psychology of cricket

    Origionally posted this in the coaching forum but I thought it'd do better here. From my experience I've found that the best way to go into a game of cricket is to remember that at the end of the day no matter how important the match is you should always remember "Why did I play cricket in the...

    Greatest batting/bowling styles in the world.

    Love Malinga when he gets going. Kumble bowls a lot like andmark style-wise. Warne was great when he played. Loved it one time in the 2005 tour of Pakistan when Flintoff bowled with just one arm for one bowl. Flintoff although he isn't very technical still has a decent action. Enjoyed...

    Just sitting here watching the England highlights with some cheese on toast (Love staurdays :) ) And I saw England scored 242. But would you say that thats a decent enough score to give your team a chance?

    This surely isn't right

    We were playing cricket in P.E (Physical education) And my team was fielding and the other team had a lad who I wouldn't really call hard (Or as others call popular) He's only small and doesn't have that many friends. But all of a sudden the teacher started seriously sledging and I told the...

    Best captain for each team

    England-WG Grace (Intimidating to anyone) Aus-Teve Waugh (Probably the second best Aussie test batter in history and someone to motivate a team.) Pakistan-Imran Khan (Would do anything to win) India-Gavasker (Was a toss up between him and Tendulkar) South Africa-Shaun pollock (Possibly the best...

    Quality of cricket.

    Watching a lot of cricket from the Jack Hobbs/Bradman era I've noticed how much of a better quality of batting in them particularly in how they play shots. But when I watch a lot of modern batting there just seems to be something missing. It could involve the modernisation of equipment.

    Test match nations.

    How come the ICC dont allow teams like Ireland, Scotland, Kenya play tests. I understand that they would have big losses against Australia but why caant they have test matches between the less cricketing developed nations. I'd quite enjoy a Scotland V Ireland test series it would be bound to get...
