    Here's an idea for Englands ODI squad!!

    yeah why not Harmison at the top of the order ? I don't know how many people here remember or were around to see that match, but it was one of the freakiest i have ever seen....it was 1989 and India was playing England in the Nehru Cup at Kanpur and chasing a total of some 250+ runs...

    Your four semi-finalists

    Cricket does not need USA. I doubt if it will ever make it big in the US. People in the US have the least interest in the biggest global sport of all...football...i hate to call it soccer to pander to the Americans' need for differentiation from the NFL type football. But their team is fairly...

    Best batsman after Lara and Sachin

    Maybe he would, but that's just speculation....we won't know for real and so can't really judge him that way.

    Best batsman after Lara and Sachin

    Actually in tests Ponting has played Akram only in the 1999 series in Aus.That series wasn't very spectacular for Ponting except for a 197 he scored at Perth. And he played Waqar in that series and later in the series which was played in SL and Sharjah when Waqar was pretty much on his way out...

    For all you Ganguly haters...

    We won some ODIs during the timeframe between 1982-86. Yes, we used to lose less test matches during the 80s because there were very solid batsman like Gavaskar, Amarnath and the types who could grind out a draw in most cases, but we didn't win much compared to the current team, given the fact...

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    Give me something specific or else stop the rant, you dimwit :wacko:

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    That's why I am saying it was "so-called" investigation. I don't consider it to be an investigation and IMO it was a cover up. So show me where is the contradiction ? As for aussie-basher.... I think that is too juvenile for me :p :p

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    I knew there was a "so-called" investigation. But why don't you show me the report where the Aussie board said it talked to the SL board. From all I can see by "Google searches" and mind you, I was very much alive when all this happened in 1995, is that the ACB informed the ICC about it after...

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    Well show me a post where I was wrongly biased and I will correct myself in this forum right now. And I can have any name.... "kick-Aussie-butt" if I want to, but that is just reflective of normal sporting rivalry and there is no reason for it to be construed any other way I believe, unless you...

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    Why didn't the ACB talk to SL board about the issue ? Did you or the Aussie media ever ask that question ? That makes people, who don't have a predisposed belief that Warne and Waugh cannot do such a thing, to be suspicious and think that the whole so-called investigation was a cover up.

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    I am not dismissing anything...All I am asking is why a proper investigation involving the SL board and other involved parties not done about the matter.
  16. aussie_beater

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    And what seems to suggest that I would be suspicious in that case ? Just because I don't seem to agree with what the ACB had to say about the matter ? Keep your prejudices at home, pal and smell the coffee.

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    What you on about ? I have stated my position on this issue clear enough in the above posts.
  18. aussie_beater

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    I don't know and I want to know. And the Aussie board tried its best to cover it up without properly investigating. That's the reason I am not going to believe what they say.
  19. aussie_beater

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    And what were the details of that investigation ? Did they talk to any law enforcement agencies in SL or the SL board about this. They did an investigation without talking to anyone. What kind of investigation was that ? Did they enlist the Aussie secret services to get the info :blink...

    Why do Australians get special treatment?

    No one is asking questions about the cricketing abilities of the Australian team.
