    Wicketkeepers Without Gloves

    Was standing at cover the other day nursing a sore pinky after misfielding a ball thinking about the warriors of old who used to stand behind the stumps without gloves. Possibly the craziest job in the history of cricket.

    Alpha - Australia's 101 Best Sports Stars

    Every month without fail I pick up the latest Alpha from my newsagency. This month was even better as they compiled a list of Australia's top 101 sports stars of the last 30 years. Some interesting stats which came from the list were 11% were cricket stars, 11% were AFL stars, 9% Rugby League...

    Oasis Frontman Fires up at Socceroo's

    Love to see what staunch Oasis fans who live in Australia like Kyle think about this. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=98378

    Australia's Answer to Stump Mic's

    I was reading the paper on Thursday and it turns out Australia have successfully got the broadcasters of the first test against Bangladesh to turn the stump mic's down... Apparently the team agreed on the prank before the game... However it was mainly Gilly who was the ring leader cos he was...

    Turning Chances into Wickets in 2005

    In previous versions such as ICC 2001, ICC 2 and ICC 1 I've pretty much mastered how to play and win most games. However since playing ICC 2005 as Australia (supposedly the worlds best) my win ratio would only be about 25% of games won. Everytime I play the other team scores more than 450 in at...

    Murali's Ugly Slip Up

    http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/235625.html TBH this shocks and appalls me. I thought Murali was bigger than this and a gentleman.

    The Art of Appealling

    Some may say that this belongs in the South Africa - Australia thread. However so much criticism has been aimed at the Aussie side and their on field appealing behavious in past series. I felt it important to heighten the importance of the following article by giving it it's own thread. So here...

    Cricketer you'd most like to be mates with

    This thread is pretty simple. Basically you choose which international cricketer you'd like to "hit the town" with, or which cricketer you'd think you'd get on best with. For me it'd have to be Shane Warne. Sure the guy's got his problems but he lives it up big time and is just a guy having...

    Dwayne Warne

    This is something I heard being talked about on the commentary before and I wanted to get your opinions on it. If Shane Warne was born "Dwayne Warne" in the West Indies would have he had such an amazing career, or would he have even played more than 1 test. The commentators believe that there...

    Averaging 100 in both forms

    Here is something that I'm sure has never been done before by any current player past or present. After having played over 5 innings in both test and OD cricket Michael Hussey now boasts averages of over 100. In OD cricket his average is a staggering 123, and in test matches his average has...

    Mandela Trophy

    For the second year running Northerns Cricket Club and Western Province met pre-season to contest the Mandela Trophy. Western Province were heavy favorites to defend their crown as champs of South Africa as the division 1 heavy-weights looked to try new things and pummel Northerns. However...

    Something Very Strange

    Maybe my South African friends could fill me in. But why did Eastern Province declare at 9/59 in their first inning and why is Western Province 5/24 in response? http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/NEW/LIVE/frames/WPR_EPR_UCB-PROV_20-22OCT2005.html possibly the most bizarre scorecard i've stumbled...

    Captaining a Side as a Bowler

    This is a prospect which I'm set to encounter this season. After getting a phone call from the club president today advising me of my appointment I just realised how hard it's going to be to do my job effectively. I also harboured dreams of perhaps sharing the new ball this season, but now even...
