    The globalization of cricket

    i think making t20 a part of the olympics would be a great vehicle to spread the game into larger, more lucrative markets. i am a fan of test cricket as well, but all this garbage of t20 overshadowing and destroying test cricket is getting on my nerves. cricket needs a cash cow, and if t20 is...

    Strong Legs for a Fast Bowler

    squats, lunges, deadlifts, single leg squats, etc. are really good exercises for strengthening your legs. you can also include plyometrics and sprints in your work outs. if you have access to a professional trainer or fitness coach, i would consult with them to prepare a good routine for you.

    Most dire cricket board?

    in terms of how they handle their own country's cricket, pakistan is head and shoulders the worst board. however, in terms of overall harm to world cricket AND conditions of domestic and national team cricket matters, BCCI is clearly the worst board. it doesn't seem like they have a plan for...

    Twenty20 or ODI?

    t20...gives the less talented/skilled team an opportunity to win. t20 requires positive tactics, gets done in 3 hours, so very convenient to watch a full match. match conditions are relatively equal for the duration of the match. my biggest concern with t20 is making the boundaries shorter...

    ***Official*** India in Sri Lanka

    probably the best post i've ever seen on sehwag! i agree wholeheartedly that sehwag should never have been dropped from the test team - he is a matchwinner!

    ***Official*** India in Sri Lanka

    harbhajan turns into a completely different bowler after he takes a wicket. you would figure someone with the arrogance/obnoxiousness of harbhajan wouldn't have confidence issues with his own bowling...

    ***Official*** South Africa in England

    but i'm pretty sure broad bowls better than collingwood does, and if colly isn't performing with the bat...well doesn't deserve a place in the team. if the only change to the lineup is broad for colly, he (broad) could bat at 7 or 8 even.

    ***Official*** South Africa in England

    my bad, i forgot about about a certain Mr. Bell. dropping colly for broad can work if the captain and others can get it together and actually get out of the single digits.

    ***Official*** South Africa in England

    what's wrong with bringing broad for collingwood? i realize that broad is touted mostly as a bowler who can bat a bit, but he's been batting really well recently - surely he'd be an upgrade from collingwood. He would also be a legitamite fifth bowler in the team. Would require flintoff or the...

    Recommended Cricket Bats

    ebay can be a dangerous place to buy a cricket bat because of the number of fakes online. using common sense can help prevent making a disastrous purchase. US based sites often sell asian bats for cheap, but i'm not sure of the difficulties of shipping overseas.

    Rahul Dravid

    dravid should be demoted to #6 at the very least and seriously be considered for being dropped. his form over the past 18 months has been scratchy to say the least. i think the captaincy broke him, like it did ganguly.

    Recommended Cricket Bats

    you could probably get an asian bat for around 80 pounds. SS, SG, BDM, CA are some of the better asian brands. I have an SG Sunny tonny bat, which is G2ish english willow that I got for $180 US (around 90 pounds) and i've been pretty satisfied.

    Glory of indian cricket

    indian cricket is on a decline because of mismanagement and bad priorities by the officials running the game. its unfortunate, but will take more than an underperforming indian team to change.

    EPL Twenty20

    yeah and i don't agree it with it. its one thing if you are an international player who doesn't ever play for your domestic side signs up to play county cricket. its another for someone to play in one t20 competition for their home side and play 2 months later for the "big money" in one of...

    EPL Twenty20

    with all the IPLs EPLs and who knows what else, these countries better start churning out top level cricketers by the hundreds. no one wants to see a mediocre contest between teams with mediocre talent and i think that's the problem with all these leagues. the IPL was a success because of...

    A leap of faith in technology

    this referral thing as is will get canned if india have mariginal decisions go against them while in the field because of "inconclusive evidence." unfortunately even that is no guarantee, the only way to certainly cause the death of this trial is if tendulkar has a not out call reversed and...

    ***Official*** India in Sri Lanka

    did you see the actual incident occur and are there any videos online? from what i read, it seemed like replay was inconclusive so they reversed the decision which makes no sense at all. i agree with what you said on another post which was they should do replay like they do it in virtually...

    ganguly tendulkar laxman followed by: Sehwag, Dravid Ganguly has been in the best form of the Indian batsmen over the past year or so, followed by the class of Tendulkar and Laxman. Sehwag is starting to regain his blistering touch, and Dravid is here on class alone. Ganguly gets no love...
