I can only refer you to my earlier post and say i disagree very much with the assumption that players are somehow better today. All those balls you talk of other than reverse swing in its current form have always been in the game. Where the hell do you think Warne learned to bowl the flipper. Do...

http://www.cricket.com.au/news/michael-clarke-retires-odi-one-day-cricket-world-cup-final-australia-new-zealand/2015-03-28 Well it was inevitable, Clarke has had a rush of common sense and realised if he is to do anything useful in Test Cricket he has to give away ODI's. There is no secret...

Don't get too excited, it will be a hum dinger of a game or at least it better be. I will be disappointed if it fades like the India semi but i still want to see Australia bat first and NZ chase. This has been the strengths of each team in the series and should make for a lot of fun. Come on...

Thompson was just over 160KPH at his peak and from memory Brett Lee let a few 160KPH go during his career. That speed is faceable and as we have seen the faster the bowler the quicker to the boundary. If a bowler did come along at that speed they would not last long as injury would claim them...

And it has been happening

In the end it was a game of perennial semi looser's. some one had to go down and it was SA. NZ had the home advantage and that was probably enough. But can they do it at the MCG against the home team or god forbid a neutral team.

WOW, go NZ well done. Now for the Aussies to do over India and we will have a hum digger of a final.

Well good start for the Kiwi's. pity about the rain but this is exciting

Appalling, hard to imagine how this was allowed to happen.

Well, been away camping in the remote southern highlands and didn't i enjoy it. Semi's all done and the only word that would cover them is DISAPPOINTING. Really the void between the top 4 and bottom 4 was so vast you could have given it a name a registered it as one of the great wastelands. The...

Another disappointing game. Had better group matches with the minnows than the first two Quarters.

OMG what a disappointment. Thought SL would put up a fight, certainly makes a statement for SA

I was hoping Bangladesh might do the scaring

Have to agree, seems obvious but an upset is always on the cards

Bradman in the pre-WW2 era was considered very anti-social and difficult to manage as a person. He was roundly disliked by his team mates and the rift between him and Victor Richardson is well known. Post WW2 the guy was seen as a god but don't overlook the team he was playing with, Miller...

Ireland and Afghanistan have impressed with there performances and have shown the whole idea of excluding the minnows is as short sighted as the decision to let the big three run things. Without question this is between four - Aust, India, NZ and SA. It will all come down to the semi's.

Funny ha ha or funny peculiar? It shows up just how slow some of these statistical systems can be when the tables don't reflect the actual outcomes, but never mind Aussies won.

Sangakkara what a player. 4 tons in a row. i dream, i was a ferret.

Agree, seems a very odd rule. what ever happened to calling stumps when you made your ground. Oh yea that was in the back yard. The photo looks pretty clear though, he was out

So who cares what KP thinks. He is about as relevant as Warne. They are only ever thinking of themselves.
