    2015 Ashes - Australia In England

    I will go out on a limb here and predict a 3-0 win to the Aussies. I really just don't see England having the depth or talent to do it. Maybe next time after an Aussie has fixed the problem for them

    Australia Tour Of West Indies 15

    west indies cricket has become a real issue for the sustainability of the game as any other problem facing the ICC today. Yet again a reason why the current ICC board is not healthy for world cricket

    Is Sachin Tendulkar A Fraud?

    Siva i am not sympathizing you, i am patronising you for what is a clear case of youthful ignorance. Learn the games history and understand the battlefield before you elevate players to God status. There is not a single one in the history of the game that deserves it. This is a sport not a...

    How About Bangladesh?

    Disappointed for Pakistan they have worked hard and were starting to build but it all seems to be lost. I think that the standard across the Test nations is closer now than ever which only makes more of a mockery of the current ICB. However it is fantastic for Bangladesh, they were great at the...

    Will Kevin Pietersen Come Back In The Odi Team Again?

    So long as England and Wales cop a flogging the Ashes will never be degraded. However i do not find any of these arguments to be on anything like solid ground. The bloke is a proven self centred idiot that has been toxic in the team environment and destructive to English cricket. Why would...

    The Greatest Cricket Matches Ever Played?

    Obviously the two tied tests would be high on the list. I am too young for the first one against the West Indies at the Gabba but from all reports the last session was nail biting. The Tied Test in India was also a cracker but has always been under the cloud of the final questionable decision...

    New Icc Rankings

    SriLanka cricket has shown a lot of resilience over the years. I see no reason why now will be any different. It is in the character of the people and the way they play their cricket.

    England In West Indies 2015

    Series like this always make me scared that cricket Test cricket will fall back to the bad old days of the seventies and early eighties when so many teams played for the draw all the time. The worst were England, India and Australia. The Windies were on the up and heading into their golden age...

    Test XI Selection Thread

    The Test team for the tours of the West Indies and the Ashes in England have been announced. What do you think. Ahmed could be a good pick and Voges is also interesting. Michael Clarke (capt), Steve Smith, Fawad Ahmed, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris (Ashes only), Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Johnson...

    Clarke To Retire From Odi's

    Definitely a good fitness call. I find it interesting how Australians will give up ODI's and T20 for a longer test career but most players around the world seem to do the opposite. Love Test Cricket.

    Elimination Stages World Cup (quarter Finals, Semi Finals And Finals)

    Glad you have fun while us poor folk watched from TV land. McCullum's wicket was never the most critical in the NZ team but the way it set the tone for the innings was. It was very noticeable that NZ never looked good. Even when Taylor and Elliott were moving along it never felt like this was a...

    Elimination Stages World Cup (quarter Finals, Semi Finals And Finals)

    If you want a good series it has to be played somewhere where cricket is going to draw a crowd. This means someone will always have the home advantage. You do realise that the last two cups are the only ones that have gone to the home team. The first three were played in the UK with West Indies...

    Elimination Stages World Cup (quarter Finals, Semi Finals And Finals)

    Well done Aussie's great win. Controlled the game all the way. NZ should be proud they just didn't quite get it to happen with Stark really the big difference

    Elimination Stages World Cup (quarter Finals, Semi Finals And Finals)

    great runout to end the innings. 184 to win at 3.67, you know that looks simple but feels awkward.

    Is Sachin Tendulkar A Fraud?

    I take it you are young and have not seen a lot of cricket by your comments regarding sledging and on field behaviour. I assure you that sledging has been around ever since in the game and Australia does happen to be good at it. This may be because i don't remember it not being part of the game...
