Interesting to see how England fair against a New Zealand team who are riding high. Notice changes are already happening for England with Bresnan out and Woakes in. Ive got a funny feeling this will be another struggle for England and if New Zealand play well there is no reason why they couldnt...

Unconvincing performance for Oz in my eyes, Sri Lanka soundly won and there didnt seem to be enough fight from Australia. This was a big surprise for me as I expected an australia win, Warner did well but there was no support from the rest of the batting order to continue the run tally. The fact...

Its great to see NZ achieving well, it bodes well if they can continue this kind of spirited display. I have long held they have the opportunity to do well in cricket but they underachieve because of backroom efforts rather than the players. Lets see if NZ can continue this kind of form in...

I saw that Broad was going to be shipped out to India last week to help out, but because of the bad weather he got stranded at the airport in London and will join up with the team in NZ next month. I think this shows that the England set up are still trying to fathom who are the best players to...

I like your idea on the one dayers, I always struggle with a long series of one day int. because of the sessions getting a bit mundane in the middle, but your idea could resolve that. I suppose the only issue is that I doubt the men in the know will change the format. I have a preference for...

Your right on the scheduling and thats what I meant by the saturation, maybe I didnt word it well :) the issue for me is that the schedules are all over the place and its difficult to keep up with how many matches are in a series, whats happening in international and domestic schedules. Im not...

I suppose your right, many players have a preference and whilst some like the quick play of a T20 match, others play better in a full test..the ODI is somewhere inbetween which must be harder for players to adjust too as you say. Like you say other teams are struggling to adapt too, maybe...

Ive noticed how inconsistent England can be in recent times. Look at the latest ODI with India and you can see straight away what I mean. First OD series they batted well and scored a huge 325 for 4, but then lose the next two series with only 158 and 155 runs. 155 runs is low by anyones...

Saw this very interesting article about whether 1 day cricket is doomed (link to article). I dont know about you guys but the problem for me is that I do like the one dayers, but there seems to much of them, along with T20 and test matches. The article talks about the drop in interest, it even...

I would say Trescothick, but Trott is good in the current bunch

I didnt expect such a good win from Sri Lanka, on paper it looks amazing, but it seemed Australia didnt fully turn up for the match...

Pity about the end score, I do hope NZ put up a good fight against England in the upcoming match in Feb.

Sorry off topic, but welcome to the forum! Nice to see new blood here :)

Just seen this article on Big Pond Sport: Gilbert resigns as CEO of NSW 11 years he has been in the job so even with the recent sacking of the NSW coach many felt he was too protected for this to happen! Im quite surprised, what about you guys?

Yep very poor decision! Im surprised he gave it, you have to be certain not think you see something :)

haha Im glad because looking back what I wrote doesnt make too much sense :)

Thats great news, it will make it into a real competition. I do hope the Kiwis do well against England :)

Two good matches if you ask me, Perth have surprised me...dont know why but I didnt expect much from them in the tournament

Im catching up too after time off over the festive season. Welcome to the forum-- even if a lil late ;)

haha, well after looking at this thread I feel a little less manly in the hand department!
