    World Cup 2011 (hosts)

    Couldnt agree more. And theres also the small matter that Australia have also recently held the 2000 Olympics... Here are some other points why I think that Australia and New Zealand should be chosen to host the 2011 World Cup: 1. If it was to be held in the subcontinent, there is a...

    The VB Series 2006

    I dont think Gilchrist will get dropped. Why? Last summer Symonds made 6 ducks in 7 inings but didnt get dropped. This summer he had a test match batting average of 11 and a bowling average of 82 before the melbourne test but still was again selected to play. From both drastic slumps he has come...

    Australia's Domestic Comp 05/06 season

    NSW played fantastically. With players such as McGrath, Lee, Katich, Michael Clarke, Stuart Clark, Brad Haddin and Nathan Bracken all in the Aussie side, they are still dominating. Brilliant!

    who is planning to be a international cricket player

    Andrew Symonds Englishman my ass...he never wanted 2 play there - he loved Australia right from the strat and has Aussie parents (I'm pretty sure). Anyway, I'd like to play international cricket. Im playing some representative cricket, seniors, taking wickets everywhere and I'd love to play...

    Young guns ..

    I would say that Jaques, Thornely, White, Cosgrove, Voges and Hartley are all Aussie "young guns," however Jaques, Thornely and Voges are no spring chickens...

    shud australia sack hayden?

    Moises Heniques has barely even been playing grade cricket in Sydney, only having 1 season. And as for Hayden, He needs to make a big hundred in the Super Test and a few good scores after that to relieve the pressure. Jaques' time will come, just like the time will come for Thornely, Hodge...

    New Australian captain?

    Ponting wont get dropped. He hasnt done anything wrong, his side has let him down. Not all of the side have been poor, just a select few. And it is hardly the demise of Australia, they are 2-1 down in a test series which they are playing overseas at the end of a 3 month tour. Watch out...

    The Draft, And your best current XI...

    you are all expecting me to say, since I am an Aussie, "Oh, Ricky Ponting is soo wonderful, oh, he is by far the worlds best batsman, and now let's all go an solute him, he's my hero." No. Brian Lara I believe is still the world's best, and there won't be much that will change that.

    Spoogly?

    I bowl off-spin and I bowl these sorts of deliveries myself. All I do is bowl it kind of like the way Shane Warne bowls his slider, except I put more sidespin on it and it looks a little more like an off break, but turns like a leg break. To bolw the delivery, I grip the ball with my index and...

    What equipment do you use?

    Ive got: Bat: Kookaburra Sword Gloves & Pads: Slazenger v300 Helmet: Gray Nicolls Some people say that Kookaburra Swords are old and useless, but mine is part of the last series of Swords issued and isn't that bad. But I'm hoping to get a Kookaburra Belta soon.

    Michael Vaughan - What has the captaincy done???

    When Michael Vaughan came to Australia along with the rest of the English team for the 2002/03 Ashes series, he had no pressure on his shoulders, and was a free exciting batsman. He was targeted by McGrath, but that didnt phase him. He was player of the series, with over 600 runs. So what has...

    Best Emerging Cricketer

    On the topic of Australia A, when India toured Australia the A side kept Chopra scoreless for 1 hour. Matthew Elliott had his chance, and last year returned when Ponting was out against Sri Lanka and scored 0 and 1.

    Geraint Jones

    A: Stuart Law. He is Australian. It doesn't matter if he has qualified to be English now, he is an Australian. And he hasn't played Test Cricket for many years..... (Have you ever heard of any captain who has been dropped for a man who used to play with the guys he is being put up against???)...

    Next Best spinner around

    Stuart MacGill by a mile. Him along with other guys such as Mike Hussey, Brad Haddin, Nathan Bracken, Brad Hodge, Jimmy Maher and many others would have played heaps of tests if they were from another country.
