    The Bank Clerk Who Went to War

    Steele was the sort of guy who thrived when the score was 20 for 2 rather than 200 for 2. Loved his nickname they gave him at the bar. "Crime"- doesn't pay. LMAO!!

    Over-rated things in cricket

    Most of the dummies who run various boards and committees. Where do they get these guys from? Most of them are "the right sort of chap" no doubt, clink a few glasses and grease a few palms,but they have not played the game. Most of the folks on here have a greater appreciation and knowledge of...

    Over-rated things in cricket

    He was a doctor but it took him ages to qualify. When he did, he was very........laid back in his approach to his work! As a cricketer he was allegedly an amateur but was paid more than most professionals.

    Graeme Swann Appreciation Thread

    I think maybe he's going to try to go down the Tufnell route-"Hey I'm wacky and a bit of a lad", but media wise he'll have to be careful about what he perceives as humorous. The comment he made about rape was crass and insensitive. He's about to join the TMS team which I think has taken a drop...

    Over-rated things in cricket

    The reputation of WG Grace, his figures should be re-examined as he was such a cheat. He would be bowled and then put the bails back and say to the bowler, "The crowd has come to see me bat, not you bowl". Can you imagine the look on the faces of the likes of Glenn McGrath, Steve Waugh or Colin...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    Can't really complain about his batting, but to try to undermine captains and coaches betrays a terrible attitude. Its not like its a one off aberration- Gallian, Moores, Strauss, Cook, and Flower. The texting affair was totally unforgivable. Tough being me? He wants to walk a mile in other...

    Your top ten TEST bowlers of ALL-TIME

    An unusual statistic- Of all the batsmen who played the bulk of their cricket in the 80's, only Border, Javed Miandad, and Richards emerged with a batting average of 50+. Were the other batsmen of the 80's of a low standard or was the bowling that good? There were NO triple centuries scored...

    Your top ten TEST bowlers of ALL-TIME

    The Australians of 1995-2007 would never have stood a chance against the West Indies bowlers of the 80's. Most of their front foot play would have been eliminated. The likes of Hayden, Ponting, and Gilchrist were lucky to play in an era of largely weak pace bowling opponents. When they did come...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    He's all me, me, me. Whilst I appreciate that he's a singular talent, this is a team game, his comment of "that's the way I play" just doesn't wash. Back in 1987 Ian Botham batted five hours for 51 not out to save the Oval test. Now that's a team man!

    Your top ten TEST bowlers of ALL-TIME

    Sydney Barnes-apparently unplayable Malcolm Marshall-ouch! injuries everywhere Richard Hadlee-the inquisitor Michael Holding-what the????!!! Muttiah Muralitharan-wrongly misjudged Colin Croft-BONKERS! Wasim Akram-abracadabra! Roy Gilchrist-almost unknown but a bad, bad man Dennis Lillee-Skill...

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    I think in that situation they just think "oh well no point sticking around....... is the bar open? See you in five"

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    Is Stuart Broad thick? Lets put this in perspective .You're trying to save a test match...... Before you've even got your eye in or assessed the pitch, in the first over of the day, you hit a six. Then you try to repeat the shot and are caught on the boundary! The only thing he could have done...
