    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    If NZ don't want Smith I'd like to think we could engage in some industrial-scale chicanery to get him qualified for England :dry:. What a player, skilled and seems like he'd die for the shirt. Even his mullett-tache combo is back in fashion over here (although it is unclear if Smith himself is...

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    There was a very good analysis (possible by Nasser) of Pope's stance that highlighted a head position leading to balance problems. This was in response to his proclivity for getting out LBW while toppling over. I wonder if this is in part responsible for his poor starts. Everyone needs to get...

    Symonds vs Klusener vs Flintoff

    Actually having been at Edgbaston for that semi-final I have rarely seen a cricket ball hit as hard as it was by Klusener that day. Even rarer is to see a player hit such a high and such a low to quite that extent in such a short space of time. His stats are much better than I remembered too...

    South Africa team selection

    Based on the Youtube comments in the coverage of the CSA-Lions game it seems South African cricket followers are pretty excited about some of the young talent coming through (especially amongst batters). Certainly giving our emerging talent a bit of a hiding :dry:
