They should alternate between the two, after all Pakistan is not going to see cricket played there for a while. If Pakistan played in England every year, the demand would go down so every two years would ensure decent crowds. The team which played England early in the summer could play...

Is his batting average > 50 ?

Are you talking about his tatoos? There are players who have won more medals than him. e.g. Ryan Giggs

Make sure if when teachers leave, their account is deleted. Otherwise at the start of the year, when the passwords are reset, kids will just log to a redunant teachers acccount and change the password. You then get an account with full admin privilages to cause mayhem on. Another good one is...

Harmison can't tour and he can't bowl in ODIs so the selectors call him up for the last test of the summer? "If I remember correctly he quite enjoys touring the West Indies..Didn't he take his best figures there?" 7 for something I think. But he was approaching his peak then. I just feel...

You about adopting a zonal system similar to the one in India. The existing county system would continue to exist but you create another league, with regional teams, made up from counties e.g. south east: middlesex, surrey, kent. If this league was for English qualified players only and only...

No. The idea that cricket has some higher set of morals is a fallacy. Although, there is sporting behavior demonstrated by the gentleman of the game, for years there has been an unsavory side to cricket: match fixing, bodyline, sledging etc. The BCCI has no duty to CA and has ruthlessly...

Would he even accept a award associated with the Brtish Empire, in light of the freedom struggle.

Michael Holding blamed the administration rather than the lure of basketball. Although the talent pool has been reduced by basketball, the WICB arent doing enough to keep and develop young players. He said even during the 70s, the WI are successful inspite of the board rather than because of...

Note I used allegedly and I was making the point that there are things that are aren't racist but still very offensive to people, and its impossible to know unless you know them, whether a personal comment crosses the line or not.

It part of cricket, but we shouldn't be proud of it. If you are good enough, why do you need to say anything? the scorecard will speak volumes ... The legendary west indian pace attack wouldn't abuse the batsman, they just followed a play and miss with a longer follow through and a stare...

Musharraf's motives for going after Al-Queda are selfish. He wants to remain in power. I don't think he really wants democracy in Pakistan. Also, Pakistan gets money and brownie points for taking part in the "war on terror" from the US. Although, I don't think he ordered the assassination, I...

I agree with srk, increase the number of short balls available to bowlers especially in tests. Maybe 3 an over. Its ridiculous how flat the wickets are these days, theres not really a fair contest between bat and ball. I think someone said that a bowlers are meant to bowl at the stumps but I...

Do u choose your ability? You wouldnt choose to bad would you? Your reflexes, hard eye co ordination and concentration are all natural. In what way is this different from racism? Also the abuse that Symonds got was racially motivated but did not have the same connotations as it would in a...

I agree with one of the previous posters who said he wouldn't be sad if ODIs were consigned to history. We are playing far too much of it and should definitely be limited to 5 per series. I think 32 is a few too many for 2020 world cup. Half those teams are not of first class standard. Keep...
