    New ICC Test rankings

    They play South Africa right afterwards so there's no time to squeeze it all in. And plus since we can't beat Australia in ODIs, what's the point? I say we refuse to play them anymore in them! :D

    *Official* India in Pakistan Thread

    Yes, it seems everyone on the Indian team except Sehwag seems to speak English. If a foreign coach is hired for Pakistan, shouldn't he learn Urdu to communicate? At least a basic command of Urdu should be learned. And I'm not from Madras, I'm from New York, but my parents are from...

    *Official* India in Pakistan Thread

    Yes agreed. Kamal showed so much courage to go out there batting. He got a damn injection out in the crease just so he could keep batting! That's really amazing and in my opinion he has earned a permanent position in the Pakistani team. I really think a few years down the line, Pakistani fans...

    *Official* India in Pakistan Thread

    Asim Kamal and Kamran Akmal for sure look excellent. Umar and Farhat don't particularly impress, despite Farhat's one good knock, and Hameed, though much hyped, turned out to be a bust in the Tests. Sami and Gul are definitely going to be good one day, Sami's pace is lethal and Gul's accuracy is...

    *Official* India in Pakistan Thread

    It's funny how he said it, not that they get injured. He's the CEO of the Pakistani Cricket Board, and you wouldn't expect someone in such a position to make such blunt statements. Hey, don't forget, this is celebration! :cool:

    *Official* India in Pakistan Thread

    As Rick James would say, this is celebration bitches! A really funny comment from the post-match discussion between Manjrekar, Sidhu and Ramiz Raja, said by Ramiz Raja: "A key difference between the two teams is fitness. Lakshmipathy Balaji, give him eleven or twelve-over spells, and that's...

    At long last ! A series win abroad.

    Yes, excellent victory! I'm very proud of our team! :D

    **Official** 'My Current World XI' Thread

    Is Taibu worth the 30 runs difference between his and Gilchrist's average? That must mean Gilchrist is one bad keeper.

    Fastest Bowler Ever

    Okay, who here has actually seen Jeff Thomson bowl?

    Sriram for Scotland ?

    Absolutely!

    **Official** 'My Current World XI' Thread

    Sangakkara averages 43, Taibu 24, so batting-wise, there's no comparison whatsoever, Fielding-wise, I really can't say, and I'd appreciate it if anyone whose really watched Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe cricket could weigh in on the quality of the two players' keeping. Taibu seems to be held in high...

    **Official** 'My Current World XI' Thread

    Well he does say he envisions himself ultimately as a middle-order batsman, but he's been so successful that I think despite what he fancies himself, reality should apply! After all, Tendulkar fancies himself a leggie, an offie and a seam bowler! 309 as an opener should mean something.

    And what makes Sehwag not a genuine opener?

    Best vs Rest

    They must have been scared of Ajit Agarkar. Adelaide shows they were right to fear him! :D :D :D

    *Official* India in Pakistan Thread

    Really shocking! A really funny thing a Pakistani friend of mine said after I was needling him about the test series, and after he tried to say it was all match-fixing: "That Dravid is a selfish guy. He takes the bookie's money, but he doesn't get out!" Hehe.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    You misunderstand me madcricketer, I was merely trying to figure out what exactly your position on the matter was. I absolutely think Tendulkar's a choker, and I've had many arguments with fellow Indian fans about this.

    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    Haha, actually I'm legitimately perplexed! Let's say you were trying to get someone to do something you want. Would you threaten or publicly humiliate that person in the hopes that that would make them give in, or would you go about it in a little more discreet and smarter manner? I can't help...

    Fair enough.

    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    But everyone's jumped to these cricketer's sides without asking any questions of them; we've given them our blind loyalty. We should be inquiring as to why they've undertaken the aggressive actions they have. Are they trying to get publicity or really effectuate change? Did they think publicly...
