    World Cup in Australia

    Ah, thank you, and to meatspx too.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Certainly was harder than on Day 1. So it went from Ultra Easy to Not too Shabby

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Ok there's your entire quote. I was especially referencing your part about scoring a century against Zimbabwe because they suck and then at the end you mentioned Multan and I naturally assumed once again you were saying the only reason India managed to put up 600 was because of the pitch and I...

    lara vs tendulkar

    Lara's got a lower-pitched voice I'm sure. Kind of hard to have a higher-pitched one than Sachin.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Oh, so you mean they're like every single other wicket in the world?

    Why is Englands one day team so different to the test team?

    Why do you think this is the case anyway? Do cricketers not make as much money over there? I know they don't get anywhere near the limelight or attention that football/soccer players get but why has cricket so gotten lost in the country of its invention? It boggles the mind.

    Turning down County Offers

    I disagree with them. I mean to be blunt about it, the time to really learn anything from English country cricket is pretty much over. They're behind the curve on technology and dare I say it, talent. The real place they should go would be Australia or maybe South Africa. Although there is still...

    Turning down County Offers

    With the amount of international cricket played nowadays, and especially India, which tends to have a heavier than usual schedule, playing in the English county does more harm than good for the regular international players.

    lara vs tendulkar

    That's why it's so fun to argue! If there was a real, objective way to tell, then it wouldn't be quite so long a discussion.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Yes, those Pakistanis sure did have a bad bowling attack. Akhtar, who would walk onto every cricket team in the world and be handed the new ball, and Sami, probably the third fastest bowler in the world. I guess they don't count. Bring on Hoggard and Jones!

    World Cup in Australia

    Also, could someone please explain why the 1999 World Cup was held three years after the 1996 one? Shouldn't it have been 2000? I know it's a stupid question, but it's always bothered me!

    World Cup in Australia

    Well from what I've heard there's a chance the 2007 World Cup may be shifted there, if plans continue to go awry in the West Indies.

    Aussie team picked - no MacGill

    Cricket is a team sport. You live and die in teams. If you don't have simple respect for your teammates then you don't deserve to be called a cricketer. And what do you mean since when was the national squad concerned about MacGill? He's their teammate. I've heard sports often metaphorized to...

    Hey Sehwag309, your avatar is cool. How'd you make it?

    lara vs tendulkar

    The test average quickly approaching 60, the innings he's played under immense pressure (Kolkata vs. Australia, Adelaide in Australia, Rawalpindi in Pakistan), the five (?) recent double hundreds, and the most important fact................... He's INDIAN! But seriously, it's definitely a...

    lara vs tendulkar

    Well those are subjective measurements, which can be debated ad infinitum. Objective measurements, like averages, can be, and in averages, for tests, Dravid beats Ponting. Ponting is a world-class batsman and without a doubt one of the best in the world, top 3 maybe, top 5 probably, top 10 most...

    lara vs tendulkar

    I guess it must be the lower test average and fewer runs scored...

    lara vs tendulkar

    Based on what is Dravid not better?

    domestic movements!

    Neil, this is completely off-topic, but whats going on in your avatar pic? Are there girls in the background? What was it taken at? It's great!

    lara vs tendulkar

    In his last 10 matches, Lara has scored 1253 runs at an average of 69.61. Remove his 400* and his average drops to 47.39. Still excellent, but not one of the elite in the game at the moment, so aside from the last innings, he's been very un-Lara like. I suppose you can blame it on having no good...
