    ***Official*** India in Australia

    On a more serious subject how about Tait's new rebound pads! Have never seen a more ridiculous pair, had a big laugh when that ball ballooned back to Kumble. I have a feeling those pads copped a vicious beating back in the rooms. :laugh: You don't see the ball come off pads like that when...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Now has everyone got off Australia's back on the over appeallng issue. Some ridiculous appeals coming from the Indians - Dhoni & Kumble in particular - yet no one makes a fuss. Every side does it at times especially when its close or the pressure is on. I don't approve of it but singling...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    He seems to have lost all his rythm and perhaps trying to bowl too quick at time. I agree he hasn't had the right preparation. He is a guy that needs plenty of overs under his belt. He also needs to relax a bit which is easier said than done after all the hype. The heat may have bothered him a...

    Three best from each test nation

    Agree with the above. Guys like Lillee & McGrath, Ponting soon enough would be very close, but those three will be just about impossible to ever be removed from the top three.

    My Top 100 Test Bowlers of all-time

    Still leaves him clearly ahead though.

    What do Australians hate about Ganguly

    I like Gangas. I find him very entertaining to watch. I think the Steve Waugh run in & arrogance is why some do not like him much. Kevin Pieterson gets the same response from Aussies its a love hate thing. Being disliked by opposition is often a sign of respect though.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Laxman needs to stay up the order either 3 or 4, gives him time to settle in & do some damage. I am not sure how well Karthik went opening last series I think he failed - opened & was keeper.

    By the way I think you will find Hodge was dropped after a couple of average games.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    If he produces dismissals like those again at vital times in innings then he should be reviewed. Its not like he got out to good balls, he got himself out at a time when he needed to produce. He seems to get runs when pressure isn't on. You find out more about players value to the side when the...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I doubt they have a pace bowler of sufficient quality to replace him. Having said that 2 spinners at Perth is probably not the best situation. Comes down to whether you pick your best bowlers or the best bowlers for the conditions. Too early to say on the injuries. Symonds seems to always come...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Getting back to cricket: There were a number of players who I thought failed badly and their spot in the team is in danger: India: Jaffer - a lot of hype about him but failed times now, is he worth persisting? Maybe given the series is dead but Sehwag would be interesting & may handle Perth...

    Controversies ignite in Australia

    Australia copped some terrible decisions in the 2005 Ashes. But no one took away Englands credit as they played fantastic cricket. It is just not as simple as saying its just Asian countries - it is well known that teams touring in India & Pakistan get the run of decisions due to crowd pressure...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I agree what said on the field should stay there, however cricket administration is well & truly moving into the era of political correctness. I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. However people need to accept the process (however bad it is at the moment) as well as umpires...

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    In another thread you just said the following in relation to Australia "The most racist nation on the face of the planet, with a history that makes Nazi-Germany look like a little gangster-thug" You are purely trying to incite & divide people on the basis of their nationality or race.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I did have a good laugh at Sharma coming out with 2 right handed gloves to kill some time - thats an old trick - although usually its "I forgot my box!" then it suddenly takes 5 minutes to locate one.

    **Official** England in New Zealand

    I am expecting NZ to demolish England over there, the Poms are mentally fragile. Although their bowlers may enjoy the extra assistance NZ pitches provide, but get on top on the first few days and they will be toast.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I am sure Michael Clarke is very happy with his rating of international standard bowler - does that make him a genuine all rounder? India held out bravely and would have got through against all other Aussie bowlers. The move to bring Clarke in was equally brilliant as it was deperate, he simply...

    Boucher vs Gilchrist - Wicketkeeping

    I would not say Gilli is the most talented keeper in the world - he has worked very hard with what hes got. His batting just makes him an absolutes stand out. His keeping record is great - so many dismissals but he has had many great bowlers to keep to that provide him with many more...
