    *Official* South Africa in Pakistan

    when are the Saffies going to declare? they passed well over 350 and now are just wasting time...

    Pool C - New Zealand, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Scotland

    I'm really satisfied with the outing, and seeing one of our players with tears in his eyes during the anthem was quite a sight... they played with heart there and deserved their points. this was one of the many good sporting events today - the Red Sox won the AL East division, and the local...

    India/Pakistan is the worst Final in terms of the future

    it's not necesarily easier to sell, even if it's very marketable. you can very nicely advertise an epic Test marathon as the Ashes, like big marathon races make the numbers and audiences even if they are not so easy to follow in their entirety. marathon, semi-long distance and sprints (from 100m...

    India/Pakistan is the worst Final in terms of the future

    marketing is everything.. if by any chance there would start on thursday an ind vs. pak test series the audience would be huge! it's not really that much about the format, it's about quality play, front stars and rivalries. and it's about how you gather all this together and make a package of it...

    India/Pakistan is the worst Final in terms of the future

    agree with silentstriker - this tournament just paved the way for the definitive limited-overs form, the one which can bring cricket out on the big international sports market - even in the olympics, now that baseball took the cut. tests will still be the bigger events, but twenty20 means a full...

    GROUP D - India, Pakistan, Scotland

    tremendous finish, i wish it would end here, a tie - very symbolic one for the rivalry. who said 20/20 is boring? too bad we couldn't bring this on-screen here (my old project). quite a good show in the name of cricket. as for the tiebreaker, the harsher the better - one over each, sudden...

    Baseball vs. Cricket

    meh. they are really unpredictable, take the Royals series last week. Sunday 4-0 and cruising, Monday 3-9 and horrible, and they have a custom of losing close games - and still they lead the AL East :) it would be interesting anyway to compare the two games as in how they reflect the culture and...

    Baseball vs. Cricket

    i'm actually beginning to love baseball, not taking anything off the greatness of cricket. but cricket can be amazingly dull at times, while in baseball every at-bat is a little piece of drama. i support the Boston Red Sox in MLB.

    Name sports you cannot bear to watch

    i got bored with basketball too, didn't bother to watch a single game of the NBA playoffs. soccer pretty much boring me as well, unless some exotic matchups are on (African Nations Cup or something). became a big baseball fan though, captivated by the dramatic and tactical side of the game...

    Official Rugby Thread

    anyway the boks did their show, shutting mouths who said they will send a weak and easy-to-beat team. 17-0 in 10 minutes and all the aussie arrogance was put down. good lesson for complainers.

    ICC announce ODI law changes

    this kind of tampering with the rules only makes me enjoy baseball more. why? because in baseball they don't really care if a game goes for six hours without a single run being scored, they don't have to worry about "doctoring pitches", they change ball every 2-3 throws (and no chucking rule...

    splendid game that Argentina vs. Colombia, 4-2 and the Argentines look favourites for the trophy.

    CW awards for the first week of July

    the skull this week is a shame :) compared to what it used to be. i'd like to take the pick for it, just tell me the conditions.

    Cricket Q&A

    what about a 25-run penalty if the minimum 15 overs aren't reached? i know a team can find excuses, even fake injuries and so on, but something has to be done.

    Cricket Q&A

    should there be a minimum over rate? during the Bangladesh vs. India test the commentators were talking about how there were 26 overs in an hour back in good old times. a minimum 15 overs per hour would make sense to me.

    Official Rugby Thread

    Argentina deserves to join the Tri-Nations. the inclusion of Italy into then-Five Nations begins to show its fruits. would be a great sight a match Arg vs. NZ in front of a 30.000 mad crowd in Buenos Aires.

    Greatest ever sporting come backs

    with a dormant peloton who didn't give a damn in that stage. landis would have qualified, but... that was too surreal to be real - i had my doubts even watching the stage live.
