    Do you agree with Ganguly??

    Yes, they CAN be the number one side, they definitely have the artillery in their batting line-up, however, they have to be able to win more away from home (their current record is shocking), and I think they are at least one quality pace bowler short (Zaheer Khan is a genuine talent, Agarkar...

    *Official* India in Australia Thread

    Congratulations to India, the win in Adelaide was very well deserved. Agarkar just seemed to bowl out of his skin in our second innings, and Dravid, well, I think his work played a large contribution towards their win. The series is now very much alive, and we are in danger of losing our first...

    Indoor cricket umpiring

    Usually when I play, I'm the keeper or just outside "the circle", which is basically silly mid off or silly mid on. Basically it's all about staying on your toes, and anticipation, waiting for a snick into the corner of the net... but when the batter shapes to cut or pull, a bit of fear comes...

    Indoor cricket umpiring

    I did it for a couple of years, and I think I got paid $15 a game. Mind you, I was 18-19 at the time myself. There is an LBW rule, but only if you don't offer a shot and the ball would have hit the stumps. There is also this thing called the "third ball rule", where if the two previous balls...

    Australia's next keeper

    I like the look of Manou, but as someone said, it could very well be someone that we have never heard of - akin to selecting an Australian team in say 5 years time, only using the current batch of players available. But in terms of Gilchrist's replacement, Seccombe would be my choice. Quite a...

    *Official* India in Australia Thread

    Shades of Calcutta in 2001 today with the Indians putting up a fight and taking it to the Aussies... not in as destructive a way, mind you, but still good to see nevertheless. Disappointed to see them slide away a bit towards the end of the day though... great partnership between Laxman and...

    Pura Cup

    Brett Lee can hold the bat, so his score today, whilst a pleasant sight, is not a complete surprise. If he can get some wickets, he may be touted as our next all rounder... :D

    *Official* India in Australia Thread

    Seems to be a true Adelaide wicket - a batsmans paradise. 400+ in a day is testament to that. With Ponting and Gilchrist still in, a score of 600+ is on the cards. Look forward to seeing how the Indians fare on this wicket. Could be quite a high scoring match.

    Are you a better Batsman,Bowler,Or All Rounder?

    I'm more a batsman, who can bowl a bit of slow medium pace. I can also keep wickets. But I only play indoor! :D

    Steve Waugh to Retire at the SCG

    This moment was inevitable, but I was a bit surprised that he chose to retire at the end of the upcoming home series against the Indians. Would have thought that he would continue on to Sri Lanka and India. But as it has already been mentioned, he is probably sick of leaving his family for...

    best and worst commentator ?

    THAT'S PARORE! *insert dopey Chappelli laugh* Anyways, my favourite would have to be Jim Maxwell on the ABC... always seems to be balanced and a voice of reason. My worst... Jeff Thomson. I don't think his demeanour really is suitable enough for a commentator.

    Scott Muller - remember him ?

    I don't think this is the one, but this article was a good read... www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/05/23/1053585706153.html

    Do Bangladesh Deserve Test Status?

    Yes, they definitely know how to play the game. On their recent tour of Australia, I did notice a number of players (can't remember any of their names) who showed enough to suggest that they have the potential to become more competitive in the near future. Their maiden test victory will come...

    *Official* Tri Series (Ind, NZ, Aus) Thread

    And I would extend that to Andrew Symonds too. He has to show that his form in the World Cup was not a fluke (I'm sure that there are people out there with that opinion). Can't say too much about Maher, but he does need runs to stay in the team. If not, he will just end up being a replacement...

    *Official* Tri Series (Ind, NZ, Aus) Thread

    I think that the injuries that have happened to key Australian players has put us back in the pack for this tournament... all three teams have the ability to win it. Our attack does look a bit brittle, but the guys who have been selected will do the job. The penetration may not be there though...

    Inness should have been picked over Bracken

    Probably because he doesn't play for NSW or Queensland. I have got to admit that I would never had thought of Matthew Inness as a replacement in the Australian bowling stocks, but now that it has been mentioned, I think that it would not exactly be a gamble by the selectors to play him. He has...
