    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka, 2013

    True. The thing is that the best pacemen from Bangladesh (Rubel) averages around 75, which I think even a few posters on these boards could achieve. All Bangladesh needs for now is to produce the equivalent of a honest county journeyman, which means somebody able to average around 38-40 in...

    Who will you support in the upcoming Ashes and why?

    Wait wait, you only discovered the English media three weeks ago? Didn't notice them in the last, oh, century or something? I only need to think about how patronizing with the rest of the world they are every time they win a bloody game/series in any sport (despite being historically ordinary...

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    That was just simple 'luck', luck of the unlukiest kind. Say whatever you want about Gambhir(ing), he might be irritating and redundant but he seems to score a double ton every time the kiwis are playing :( A bit more happy about Taylor's solid catching once again after people were criticizing...

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    It was gambhiring they said. He was rubbish in the last 18 months they said. Stupid Broad. I knew it would be you, my old nemesis. This is not over, see you next month

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Just when I was thinking 'if a wicket doesn't fall in two overs I'm going to sleep'... :fear: :fear: :fear: Prior :fear: :fear: :fear: C'mon lads!

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    70 catches in 45 matches. If he's so poor then the NZ bowlers must be the most unlucky ever, producing such an amount of edges so that Taylor can snatch nearly two catches per match.

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Yep, he does miss the occasional one just like everybody else, however he holds a lot more than he lets fall. That he's better in other field positions around the ring is sure, same as Guptill, but I'm quite confident that BMC would have held those two catches had they come his way. He seems...

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Oh well, you're entitled to your wrong opinion. (not saying that they're all time greats, in my opinion Taylor's good and McCullum's decent, but terrible...)

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Well, that's a bit unfair on Ross Taylor, and McCullum isn't a mug either. Problem is, those two balls went to third slip and to gully :(

    It looks like Broad will not have the chance to get back in form. That over reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWi-4p8_ZZ0

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Calm down everybody, still Bairstow and Prior to come. And I have a horrible feeling that Broad will found form again with a match-saving knock

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    And here am I again, wasting another precious night of sleeptime to suffer through innocuous bowling by New Zealand in the 4th innings. It wasn't enough that time with Misbah, no, now there's Bell looking good for a 450 balls 30. **** me dead. On the other side, no team is quite as good to...

    Who will you support in the upcoming Ashes and why?

    Australia this time, I tend to be a bit of a Swing Supporter for the Ashes, but I must say I'd prefer 5 great games and an England and Wales win than Australia prevailing 1-0 in a series with lot of rain and flat pitches. Already 4-0 for Oz in the poll. The pommy cricketers are SO loved around...

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Ooooh, four down. I might swap shift tomorrow so that I can watch the game tonight, even if the last time I did something on that line it wasn't a really nice night. (I remember looking at Vettori's average in the 4th innings before and thinking about it, but still went. He then duly proceeded...

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Which is how pretty much Southee's career went until last year, fabolous first six months and then a long grey patch. I'm going to sleep, no way I can stand a symphony of unthreatening dot balls featuring Cook and Trott at 2.30 in the night. I fully expect/fear to find them still in when I...

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    If Cook and Trott can survive for the next 7-8 overs, it can be a long day for New Zealand. Just to throw my .02 into the pool of banality, the game will be won (IF) on the first 10 overs of both the two new balls

    ***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

    Pitch has a really nice bounce, looks expecially good for Finn to take a fiver on it. Then you never know with Finn, but I'm sure a good bowler would know how to exploit this pitch

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka, 2013

    Apart from Sanga, Chandimal and Herath, the other 8 players didn't looked like enjoying the minnow bashing of which the aforementioned three will be accused of, so that their classic innings will be devalued. Bangladesh has turned into a very decent team, one seamer (and a few more tests per...

    First Test Ton You Saw Live

    115 by no one less than everybody's favorite Kevin Pietersen, five years ago, against New Zealand; an innings during which there was also quite some partnership with Tim Ambrose. England eventualy won that game by an innings and some change. The subsequent ODI series (expecially the 4th ODI...
