    *Official* New Zealand in India Thread

    :lol: They usually don't report on cricket matches that don't involve the Australians here, but the India v NZ match did feature on tonight's news, basically because of a swarm of bees that invaded the ground... all the players had to lie flat on the ground to wait for them to fly over. And...

    *Official* India in Australia Thread

    I think that this COULD be a close series. The Australians will probably win quite comfortably in Brisbane. In Adelaide, it should be a high scoring match with the big names getting in amongst the runs - I would not be surprised if that is a drawn match. The Australians will probably register...

    *Official* Zimbabwe in Australia Thread

    Agreed. I thought that Carlisle's innings was the glue that held the Zimbabweans innings together. It was a patient innings, but there were also signs of controlled aggression. It seemed that every player in the top order (with the exception of Dion Ebrahim) got a start, but just couldn't...

    *Official* Zimbabwe in Australia Thread

    He deserves a go if Gillespie can't recover in time. Being 12th man in the 1st Test indicates that he is next in line.

    *Official* Zimbabwe in Australia Thread

    Yeah, I think Sean Ervine has been Zimbabwe's best in this match... his bowling was thoughtful, and got rewarded with a 4 wicket haul. And in the second innings, he seemed to be the only one who took it to the Australian bowlers, and in the process got a 50. I think the Zimbabweans need to...

    Hayden's 380

    Unbelievable. :O But I had a feeling that if anyone was going to ever break Lara's record, it was going to be someone like Hayden. The guy is a freak. Well done Matty. 8D

    *Official* Zimbabwe in Australia Thread

    The first test starts on Thursday... :O Usually by September, my footy team is not in the finals (Panthers in the NRL), so I start the countdown to the start of the cricket season. But seeing that my team not only qualified for the finals this year, but won the whole bloody thing, I may be...

    What the hell...

    I went to the Baggygreen site (the official Australian site) a couple of days ago, and noticed a change... I thought that it may have had something to do with a change of look with ninemsn (the hosts of the site), but now having gone to CricInfo, it actually conforms with their format. I...

    Vodaphone says no to Zimbabwe

    I think if England are to make a decision on whether they tour Zimbabwe or not, it should be by their own accord and made their own board, and not influenced by a directive courtesy of Vodafone. But these days where the line between the corporate community and professional sports are becoming...

    Australian Domestic Season

    I honestly think that the Blues have the goods to defend their title... our batting lineup is very strong (Mark Waugh, Bevan when the one dayers aren't on, Steve Waugh when the tests aren't on, Michael Clarke, Simon Katich, etc.), and our bowling stocks now show that they are deeper than McGrath...

    The Wisden Cricketer

    Yeah, it's a great mag, even though they have changed it recently. It used to be a monthly publication, but then they have transformed it from quite a serious publication to a blokey publication, and now only seem to publish them a few times a year, such as a preview and review of the Australian...

    RSA Cancel Pakistan tour

    It's starting to become a trend... we pulled out last year (but still managed to play a series in Sri Lanka and Sharjah), and the Kiwis pulled out mid-tour last year as well after a bomb blast. I am just wondering how many more kicks in the gut that Pakistani cricket can take - it's not good.

    The Graeme Smith Appreciation Thread (From an England Fan)

    The Graeme Smith Appreciation Thread (From an England Fan)

    I was reading an article yesterday in Inside Sport (Australian sporting magazine) about what is wrong with sport in South Africa, particularly with its cricket. It focused on its "arrogance and mediocrity", and then went on to say that someone like Graeme Smith has the potential to change that...

    World's Best Young Talent

    I think that is because the West Indians barely did any work at the grassroots level in the 80's and 90's, thinking that their golden run would just last forever. As a result, they spent quite a few years at the bottom of the heap recently. They are only now starting to recover from all the...

    CW Test Rankings - Updated Jan 2012

    That's a great system there! A lot better than the "official" one... Hate to gloat, but Australia is by far the best team going around at the moment, and the rankings should reflect it. In relation to informing someone big in cricket circles about it, what about Richie Benaud?

    *Official* Zimbabwe in Australia Thread

    Yeah, I find it very strange. We have only played them in one test, in Harare in 1999. But we have played them in at least 20 one dayers... and they always seem to be very competitive. Zimbabwe do well with their very limited player pool. They always seem to produce talented players and the odd...
