    Amla named SA Test captain

    I think it's a good call, and in a team of strong personalities I think its a good thing to have such a calm influence, not a bad thing.. I mean with Steyn and Faf pacing around it's not like they are going to need psyching up and a kick up the backside, is it?

    Mankading - Why is it not within the "Spirit of the Game"?

    Agnew's dream is impossible today unless we all go back and play on village greens and money suddenly ceases to exist, I would have thought mine was a bit more attainable. I'd actually love it if cricket was all played in perfect spirit, but that isn't possible while we have an intense and money...

    Mankading - Why is it not within the "Spirit of the Game"?

    Yeah this, I still don't see why commentators like Agnew are harking back to a day when everyone played nicely and the result didn't really matter so long as the game was played in the correct "spirit". We have contracts worth millions of dollars, people's careers on the line over a call worth a...

    Why does cricket need a strong West Indies?

    I don't think it does I hear there will be a Super 18 next year, with new teams who will weaken the competition, some Argentinian and even a Zimbabwean or Kenyan side who would get walloped by most South African clubs

    Why does cricket need a strong West Indies?

    Yeah i thought I asked this before Its been my only concern for a good few years now, and I come back every once in a while to see if the situation has changed

    Why does cricket need a strong West Indies?

    I keep hearing time and time again that the West Indies decline has been such a shame and that in order for test cricket to flourish, it needs a strong West Indies team. I hear it in particular from Ian Chappell who must have faced a few decent West Indies quicks. I don't understand why cricket...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14

    I took some photos at the PE test, apologies for the quality as they have come off facebook I hope Kleinveldt doesn't get a game, what a shocker.

    Ryan Harris' drunken tweets

    I just don't get twitter.. Society has functioned for millenia before it.. Now it is just an outlet for people to jeopardize their careers.. As for false rape accusations, especially to get back at an ex, I went to a university where that was a hobby among women.. Something that although isn't...

    Ryan Harris' drunken tweets

    Lets just say it varies depending on who you are with and where you are.. Twitter is a global forum where he will doubtless have thousands of fans from all over the place and many different backgrounds following him.. He isn't having a beer with his mates, so he shouldn't be using the same...

    Will Australia whitewash England?

    I imagine some feet being taken off the gas, and England's supposedly gun core of players can't be so bad for the rest of the series, can they?

    Ryan Harris' drunken tweets

    Poor stuff from Swann.. He is also wrong.. This ashes has been worse than arse rape

    Cricket moments you're not proud of

    Used to really lose the plot if I got myself out, have broken a few things in a few changing rooms.. Regret all that, but I just couldn't handle getting myself out

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

    Oh it was because they had a chip on their shoulder about who we chose to run our game.. Thats fine then

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

    Always satisfying to see India get a hiding.. A bunch of prima donnas bigger than the game, who consider SA not worthy of a full tour, or for Tendulkar to have his little swansong, well you've been stuffed again, and I hope it translates into the tests as well

    Former NZ cricketers investigated in betting scandal

    I wouldn't worry too much, we know it isn't an NZ game and I doubt it will be anything serious.. To be honest, and dent in credibility these dire global T20 leagues receives is a good thing in my book..

    ***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

    Loved hearing Boult shout "What the ****?" They really need to turn these stump mikes down

    Former NZ cricketers investigated in betting scandal

    According to the press conference, no games under the jurisdiction of NZ cricket are under investigation.. Which NZ players have played in these useless T20 leagues, IPL and ICL games anyone?

    Should ICC and other boards boycott BCCI?

    Of course.. I'd love to see a global game that doesn't involve India or the IPL.. Will never happen though, money talks at the end of the day

    The next nation to be granted Test status

    True, but then the NZ side would have had Hadlee, then guys like Fleming, Vettori.. And the WI decline doesn't need to even be discussed.. I don't think you can even compare the standard of cricket now vs. then for the peripheral nations.. Perhaps there will always be a couple of sides still...
