I think it's fair to say now that aussie state sides are extremely average now. The top english county sides would absolutely murder them and I can't remember the last time a touring side handled their warm up matches so comfortably, noting that even sides that have won test series while touring...

Typical Guptill innings, looks the goods but then gets himself out with a poor shot. Mcintosh showing his worth once he gets going. never really rated him and he has a very awkward batting technique, his front leg is very fleming-esque anywho not a bad session for NZ, the wicket doesn't look...

Should be a good game and the match will be play a crucial hand in determining the outcome of the tournament. If the ABs can continue their form against the wallabies then I can see a TN title coming their way but a win for the wallabies would boost their confidence and would open the tournament...

nothing beats a lofted on-drive for mine. another fav would have to be the leg glance where you get your bat down at the last possible moment and the ball races to the boundary, tendulkar does that shot to perfection.

So with this logic you rate Asif/Aamer as better bowlers than Steyn? Rubbish. The love for Aamer is all a bit over the top really (at this stage), he was brilliant in the two match series against australia but it was in perfect swing bowling conditions and the first series he has been able to...

rubbish? he's only 25 and has loads of potential to be a damaging bowler which he has shown glimpses of. he has the ability to get good bounce and bowling consistently at 90mph with good bounce (and accuracy) is a handful for any batsman. though i must say he has struggled with control which is...

Must say the Lakers have pulled in some good depth signings. the likes of bell and barnes have been brought through to have more good options to throw at your lebron's, d wades etc. with artest, odom and of course kobe leading in from the front. watchout for the defending champs next season...

$75 for 6 games of football is an absolute bargain! the pitch looked pretty ordinary from what i saw but the matches were fairly entertaining. haha did any fights break out when you sydney fans put up the celtic jersey?

got any particular pleasures in cricket? feel free to share them here (they can be past or present) few of mine.. (off the top of my head) - warne at his best - boxing day test - watching steyn rip through - a nail-biting test match that goes right down to the last session of the final...

nothing to do with the debate between the two but i could sit and watch warne bowl all day. his bowling/action is mesmerising and watching him bowl would have to be up there as one of my greatest pleasures in watching the game, equalling watching sachin at his flawless best for mine. and for...

surely malinga has missed more tests than he has played since making his debut. India have an outside chance to get the back in the series here with murali and malinga being out for sl but ive got my money on a draw depending on how the pitch pans out. and anyone heard of nuwan pradeep...

The planetcricket view section is looking a bit quiet, gajan.

Being from brisbane i follow the broncos, go to a match every now and then with some mates. Not a huge fan of the game though and I'd say I prefer watching rugby union/super 14. SAfrican added 5 Minutes and 44 Seconds later... hmmm keep working on that humour thing

Sure am mate Can't say i'm enjoying it though. :mad:

*cough* we're World Champions *cough* :p cheers for the welcome
