    lara vs tendulkar

    You're saying because of this Lara should be #1 on that list?

    lara vs tendulkar

    Ponting: 76.37 Hayden: 80.31 Tendulkar: 50.00 Gilchrist: 35.83 Lara: 69.61 Dravid - 85.93 Kallis - 84.46 So clearly Gilchrist shouldn't be anywhere near that list, and probably neither should Tendulkar and definitely not at the expense of Dravid or Kallis. So here's a more fair list. 1...

    Turning down County Offers

    http://www.hindu.com/2004/04/22/stories/2004042206371900.htm I think this is a very positive thing for Indian cricket. I was always astounded at how many regular international Indian cricketers would go play country cricket in England. It always struck me as counterproductive: they'd always be...

    lara vs tendulkar

    And five batsmen currently in better form would be?

    Murali cleared!!! .... or not...?

    But what if, knowing that he's been cleared in the lab tests, Muralitharan purposely bends his elbow further? He knows that he can't be called since scientists have cleared his action and if he gets called he can always go back to his regular action which was cleared and he can blame the...

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    Did Lara say he didnt want to win and just wanted to get the record and go home? In the end, it was some defiant batting from England that kept West Indies from winning. I still don't understand what reason Ponting even had for sticking his beak in in the first place. You don't hear Ganguly...

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    Well in this case, Ponting's disparaging a man who just scored 400 runs in an international test innings, the most ever scored by anyone since the game's been invented. It sounds like sour grapes. You'd expect something a bit more classy from someone who wins every time he goes out there (unless...

    Aussie team picked - no MacGill

    Also, on a completely unrelated note, that picture of MacGill on the front page of Cricinfo.com is scaring the hell out of me...

    Aussie team picked - no MacGill

    I don't think MacGill should have done this without at least a few of his teammates doing the same thing. Now he's just made them look bad and seem like they don't care about what's going on, when I'm sure they do.

    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    Well, England touring Zimbabwe does get a lot more English journalists down there to report firsthand and from eyewitness accounts on the disgusting things going down there, so maybe some good can come of it.

    Cricket Web Draft

    No offense to Beleg, but I think it's high time we skip his turn and go on.

    Best vs Rest

    Ask Javed Miandad who India dominates.

    Best vs Rest

    They're whiners, plain and simple. Everyone who shared your opinion was a devastated Australian fan who thought the tour by India would be a cakewalk. Maybe it was devil's food cake.

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

    Well sadly this just speaks to the lack of talent in England as opposed to the quality of Rikki Clarke.

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

    Just one or two? That was definitely a good spell of posts from Marc then. :tongue:

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    India seemed to not have too much trouble doing the same thing against a better lineup in Multan... The point is believe in your players. Believe that your bowlers could do it. Say to the young Fidel Edwards and Tino Best: Guys, bowl your hearts out. Let's make the test side leave here...

    hussain vs fleming?

    Okay since you refuse to pay attention and follow logical arguments, let me change what I'm saying to match what you're saying. Yousuf Youhana is a better captain than Graeme Smith. He beat South Africa in a test series. Happy now?

    Akhter is overrated!

    Yes, Indian fans are the hardest on their players without question. Look at how we break down Sachin Tendulkar. By every other cricketing nation and fan he is considered the greatest. Some Indian fans want to see him dropped from the team entirely.

    Sri Lanka-Zimbabwe on internet?

    I think it would really be phenomenal if Zimbabwe somehow won it. Now of course I think it's impossible for them to win it outright, but somethink like one ball to go, Sri Lanka need two to win, and they get run out coming back for the second to tie because one of the batsmen falls down, or...

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    Okay, that may be the case, but the West Indies lost. That is to say, they did not win. You can't say a team played "too well to lose" if they lost. Then they by definition did not play too well to lose. They played just well enough to lose but to make some feel like they could have won. But...
