    hussain vs fleming?

    That's the point of my joke, that it's so absurd to compare a captain of Fleming's class to Hussain's. You can hope your village side will win, but unless your village side is Arsenal or Chelsea, I hope you've got sound investments elsewhere.

    hussain vs fleming?

    Hussain versus Fleming? Okay, Manchester United versus a village soccer team would be a closer. Fleming 100%. Here's how I rank the current test captains (leaving out Taibu for obvious reasons and Bashar because it's not fair to count him) 1. Stephen Fleming, New Zealand - Makes the most out...

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    Yeah I agree with you. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, well whatever, you get my point. Things could have happened, but they happened as they did, so there's no real point in playing these what-if scenarios, except for fun. West Indies lost because Collymore bowled three really bad balls...

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    I agree completely. Except Raymond Price has a better average than Daniel Vettori! 8-)

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    He didn't do anything wrong, no one's saying arrest him. The point of the thread is to mock him for saying something dumb.

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    He cites the Hayden 380 example as an "exception" to that team-first Australian rule. Well I guess Australians take advantage of undermanned, infeior competition playing far away from home, whereas at least Lara destroyed a full-strength English attack which had been bowling his team out for two...

    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    Yes, I agree with your points. I've thought about the whole situation a lot in the past few days, and I realize that I've been wrong. I can't condone racism against anyone, and while I think affirmative action is not reverse racism, what is happening in Zimbabwe clearly is racism against whites...

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    SA just got destroyed in New Zealand. New Zealand are a good ODI side, don't get me wrong, but they manner in which SAF capitulated and got massacred really showed me a lot about their fighting spirit. I don't see the kind of will to fight back that the Aussies have. They've long been labeled as...

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    I think WI, while not one of the best sides, is one of the better sides because they have top-flight batsmen perfectly suited for the one-day game, like Chris Gayle, and ODIs are really batsmen's games. I think the problem with ranking teams in ODI terms is that since there are a lot of ODIs...

    Is This Even Possible?

    Well there are two issues I think. 1. Is this even feasible? I don't know what the rules are regarding players switching sides, I know Symonds switched to Australia, Twose to New Zealand and Goodwin to Zimbabwe, but those seemed to be uncontested by their home countries, whereas, even assuming...

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    Haha, well so India have superstar players who know when the chips are down and can step it up? That makes India a worse team than Australia? You can't beat us, so quit your whining. When you win a Test Series against India, then come talk to me! :p

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    I don't know if you've noticed, but South Africa aren't exactly the Kings of the one-dayers anymore. They're living off of their reputation.

    Some very interesting stats

    I think Ambrose was indeed focused on out and out pace, except his talent was that he could bowl fast as hell, and he managed to make it straight, on the stumps and gave it swing. Nasty.

    Is This Even Possible?

    If so, it would be a lot like my Cricket Web Draft pick! http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/623027.cms

    Okay, I guess this game has become a joke already...

    Best vs Rest

    I didn't say India could dominate every side. You stated that barring injuries, Australia could dominate every side, and I disagreed, stating that there is nothing to prove that the addition of one player here or there in the matches against India would have changed the results. As it is...

    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    No, all I'm saying is why does everyone who thinks Streak and company should just be quiet and play cricket, a group which apparently includes only me, have to branded a racist against white people or a deluded fool? How will not playing cricket restore democracy and respect for human rights to...

    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    Lucky Eddie, you got me! I am in fact Robert Mugabe. But honestly, I have no interest in seeing whitey get his just desserts, as I have much better things to concern myself with, though as an Indian who has to live with the legacy of being colonized and enslaved, I wouldn't lift a finger to...

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    I agree, when the chips are down, I don't think we (meaning Indian fans) can afford to have too much confidence in Tendulkar. And certainly not as much as we have in other players.
