Re: Your Test World XI? Oh come off it, I wasn't bagging his XI, he can pick whoever the hell he wants, but if I disagree with a selection, I'll point it out. That's the point of a forum, discussion. It'd be zero fun if we all sat about not arguing or countering people's points, if I don't...

Re: Your Test World XI? I care because you're looking for the best TEAM, not the best players jumbled into some sort of XI. The premise of the World XI idea is that your team will actually be playing games, so you need to find a balance and an XI that best fits that balance, and considering...

Re: Post Pictures of your Kit! Lol, don't worry I've got one of them, just didn't really think it needed to be posted haha

Re: What bat do you use? Was £161 and surprisingly weighs just 2lb9oz. It looks incredibly beefy, but in the hand picks up beautifully, feels almost perfect. Really looking forward to using it in the nets on Sunday =D

Re: What bat do you use? New Bat. GM Icon 909 DXM. It really is a beaut. Picks up beautifully, is very well weighted and the grains are fantastic. 10 dead straight grains. So much nicer than my Woodworm. The edges on this new bat are thick as anything.

Re: Terrible off the Pads Ah cheers fellas. Will give that a go in the nets on Sunday. I think my natural back-lift is like that, as I find it incredibly easy to play the on drive, and find it far easier to play in that area than say the cover region. I'm guessing when I see the ball on...

Re: Your Test World XI? You don't really know much about Kevin PietersEn do you? It took the selectors a long time to persuade Pietersen to agree to move from #5 to #4 in the batting order in time for The Ashes, so I doubt he'd ever agree to open. He doesn't even enjoy batting at 3, hence...

Re: Terrible off the Pads I've been suffering with a similar problem at winter nets. When I'm playing well I've got a nice leg glance, but at the moment I'm abit rusty, and keep completely mis-timing the ball and having it come off the back of the bat. Could it be because my bat face is too...

Re: Your Test World XI? Pietersen is not an opener, will never be an opener, and would never agree to opening the batting. Why pick a middle order batsman to open the batting when there are decent enough openers knocking about the world game? My Team: Graeme Smith * Gautam Gambhir...

Re: How come i cant bounce a cricket ball??? The bouncer's not really a wicket taking ball anyway tbh, it's primarly used as a set-up ball, to worry the batsman, to make their foot movement tentative, and make them play back in the crease, therefore making the full, straight swinging...

Re: King Pietersen's Blog- **Updated 02-05-08** Thought I'd update this with a sort of end of season look at my stats, then an update from my first 2 weeks of Winter Nets. Here goes. General Update Alreet, thought I may as well update this, as I've just made a very nice discovery, and now...

Re: What bat do you use? It was stood up in my room, I made sure not to store it somewhere damp or too cold or anything, was just stood up next to my bedroom door. It actually cracked after first use, the toe, even after knocking in for over an hour and a half cracked quite considerably, with...

Re: What bat do you use? No I don't think it's that, I made sure that it was in decent condition, actually knocked it in abit and oiled it just after christmas, and then oiled and did abit of knocking in before nets last week, and it's getting worse. I think it's just the fact it's a Woodworm...

Re: England in West Indies Hundred for Cook. Finally got one, this England batting line-up is really taking shape, just the bowling we've gotta sort out now.

Re: best team, ever The lack of Tendulkar at the top of the order is enough to dismiss that team for me. There's never been a better ODi opening batsman than Sachin Tendulkar. He's got a fantastic average, has scored more hundreds than anyone else and he's still got a decent strike rate. Should...

Re: What bat do you use? My Woodworm Hard Drive has gone to shite. I made sure I knocked it in before winter nets, gave it a good oiling, and it had been used last season, but every week I've used it something else has gone wrong with it. There's a crack in the middle of the bat, there are now...

Re: How come i cant bounce a cricket ball??? I'm 6'2" almost 6'3" and I still have to put a heck of alot of effort into bowling a bouncer, even at winter nets on a hard surface with a fairly new ball I had to put alot of effort in to get it to bounce. It's not an easy delivery to bowl, the 1 I...

Re: Video Murali bowling with an arm brace on Bump. Murali is NOT a chucker, and the fact that 40 people have voted to say he is just shows pure ignorance. Murali's action is an optical illusion. In ultra slow motion you can see that he doesn't bend his arm. The fact he's seen in the video...
