    Vaughan to retire?

    Ok maybe a little hasty.... but stats show he has most ever test match wins as captain... Brearley 17 in 31 = 55% Vaughan 26 in 51 = 51% Ok Brearley slightly better percentage but Vaughan sustained for a longer period. I know stats don't tell the entire story but he is the most successful...

    Vaughan to retire?

    A sad day for English cricket is all I could think of when i heard the news. The right time for Vaughan to call it a day as it could have become a farce over the summer with the press if they went down the why didnt we pick Vaughan route! But i just hope he is remembered for how great a...

    Afridi as a test match option?

    2 good innings does not show he is maturing as a batsman! Over the past two years his batting has been dreadful and he admitted himself he shuts his eyes and swings as hard as possible (hardly a mature outlook for a professional cricketer). He is a very intelligent bowler and can bat a bit...

    Breakthrough Player of the 2009 English County Season

    Yeh i like the look of Riazuddin, kinda reminds me of a Mark Ealham type player... Bit harsh on Sean Ervine what about the season he took us to glory in the C&G final with hundreds in semi and Final!! What a glorious day out at Lords!!

    What gets you and your teamates fired up?

    Being bowled out cheaply when batting first but then going out to bowl and nipping out their top 3 cheaply. This always gets the excitment going as it instills the belief either team can win again! The feeling of a team realising that a game they should win easily could be slipping away...

    *Official* England in West Indies

    There is no way unfortunately that Simon jones will ever play test cricket again. He added that something extra to our bowling attack but he will not compete at that level again. We need to look elsewhere for the answer. Any suggestions? Our bowling attack is not strong enough at the moment. I...

    An Apology to all Cricketing Community!

    What a sad day for the cricketing community. My heart goes out to the friends and families of the murdered police officers and pray we never see this kind of atrocity again

    *Official* England in West Indies

    I would not say a draw is a heavy favourite. I would say and England win on the current state of play has to be slight favourite. England win Evens Draw 2/1 WI win 7/1 Would be my guess. I haven't looked at the actual odds. Even with a placid pitch on day one there have been many many games...

    *Official* England in West Indies

    I can't believe people are starting to talk about a draw etc already. We have had one day of a 5 (thats 5) day test! None of us have any idea what the weather conditions are going to be or if the pitch may all of a sudden crumble or more likely West Indies batting crumble. Im just glad England...

    If they get 50 overs + of play in today and England havent won it by then, then they never will!!

    All England need to do is bowl consistent lines and length and pray for some good weather and the WI will not last the day.

    *Official* England in West Indies

    Ok maybe so and i apologise for that. All i can say in excuse is i was drawn in by provocation and retaliated. As i said i do not wish to be drawn into a slanging match, it was just a matter of defense for a ludicrous comment! Anyway lets forget all that and get back on topic. KP quick 50...

    *Official* England in West Indies

    Your just a comical idiot. I am the complete opposite to what you have just described?? I know our team is far from number one in the world, we are far from number 2 and even 3! If we lost from here it would take an extreme performance from either side either us appaling or something magical...
