Pietersen or Lara won't go past 200. Unless they both get promoted to the top 3. If someone is going to break 200 they are going to be a top 3 batsmen.

You know what annoys me most about that comment. The fact that it is so accurate. Yes Australia are missing a few players, but in the end we lost. Which means the other team played better. Maybe certain people should just accept that Australia isn't invincible and the only country out there...

Because they are people like everyone else and some are inclined to do stupid things like drink driving.

I'm sick of the Aussie media too, I can barely read about the cricket anymore because it's just complete crap. A guy called Jon Pierek who writes for the Daily Telegraph in Sydney is the worst. He has his own opinions which is fine but writes them as everyone in the country supports him and that...

Good call on that one, made me laugh. Aussies were saying that about England only a few weeks ago. Times change so quickly. On topic Leverock looks like the type of guy I'd play against in some park cricket. The fat one who bowls a few overs accurately, stands in slip all day and tries to...

Hoggards stats may not look good but Mahmood goes at 6.01 an over at an average of 41.38. Plunkett averages 35.82 and concedes 5.82. Kenya will be totally capable of beating England or New Zealand. If England return to their form of just a few weeks ago then they are in real trouble.

I think it's interesting how just 2 weeks ago Australia were looking like the would cruise through the whole World Cup, but right now if they played a qualifying tournament against the minnows they would probably get knocked out. Just goes to show how quickly form can change. Scotland and...

He saved Cricket Australia a return airfare for the Chappell-Hadlee series. Australia's biggest weakness in the field is the slips. 10 years ago Australia's slip corden consisted of Mark Taylor, Mark Waugh (two of the best slippers ever) and Shane Warne. But what now? Hayden, Ponting and who...

Except when they play Australia. South Africa tend to fall apart against the Aussies especially in Test matches.

And if Gibbs said Aussies, Kiwis or English instead of the term Pakistani he would not be in any trouble. On topic Hair doesn't stand a chance, it has nothing to do with him being white. It has to do with the fact he got on the wrong side of the Asian bloc.

A team coming last would hardly benefit the game in New Zealand. Although New Zealand could use another team, also a team in Perth would have been good but I think Rugby has taken that area now.

So you should hate the Titans. They are completely unoriginal playing in blue and gold.

Griffo, most English players do and have spent time in Australia playing in different sorts of conditions. Also with Australia's good depth in State cricket, why would State sides want to play County players for one season when they can help produce their own players of same quality for many...

I agree with Dizzy's 201*. But the rest of your comment, have you ever seen Gillespie bowl when in his prime? He was fast, accurate and bouncy and troubled the best bastmen. Other great moments in cricket for me are Bevan's 4 off the last ball to win the game at the SCG against the Windies...

Griffo your idea is very flawed. Just reverting back to the original 8 counties does not benefit anyone. You're willing to leave a city the size of Birmingham without a team within close proximity, but let Gloucestershire have a team? A draft system and salary cap would hardly work in English...

Australia - Glenn McGrath Bangladesh - Sahriar Nafees England - Matthew Hoggard and Monty Panesar India - Rahul Dravid New Zealand - Daniel Vetorri Sri Lanka - Chaminda Vaas South Africa - Andre Nel West Indies - Chris Gayle Zimbabwe - Brendan Taylor, including those who have left Sean...

Do I need to do the same?

So we can just have a year long Ashes series? But you wouldn't want to see England being embarassed 18-0 would you? :D Plus won't the Ashes be played in 2013 and not 2014.

I remember reading that they don't want to use to new staidum just for football matches when I was in England last month. A running track could just be covered over with grass, which is what they did with Sydney Olympic stadium. Who needs a running track in a huge stadium outside of the Olympics...

Henriques is definitely better than Scott Coyte, although I'd like to see Coyte do well since he is a Campbelltown boy.
