    ... for being on this site for what will be 8 years this October, and never being in an administrative/moderator position. I think it's well deserved :)

    Mar 30 - Pakistan v India (Semi-Final 2)

    Mar 30 - Pakistan v India (Semi-Final 2) : The Final Frontier I won't be able to watch. I don't think my heart can handle it. Is that dedication, obsession, or plain lameness?

    Test playing teams to be knocked out early?

    Every tournament since 96 (except in 96), a top team has been knocked out through an upset in the first round. In 2007: Pakistan and India were out. In 2003: England, Pakistan, South Africa, and the West Indies (while the tournament was designed for 2 top teams to not go through, these...

    Ricky Ponting and Umpires

    I quote Ricky Ponting on the stump mic: "Piss Poor Umpiring" Regarding the catch of Alistair Cook on 458/1 which could not be proven out, so the decision is not out. I fully expect a big fine, as other players have done worse, and have gotten away with it. But Ponting is a repeat...

    Ashoka de Silva

    How is he still an umpire? AB de Villiers was out on 7 and 60ish LBW plumb, and both were denied. He goes on to essentially win or at the very least draw the game for South Africa. Just get rid of the idiot, he failed a local umpiring test in Sri Lanka, yet he's still around...

    Your Cricket How do you pick yourself up after a dropped catch?

    Particularly, a catch that should've been taken but wasn't. Everybody comes up around you and says don't worry about it, koi baat nahi hai, but in your heart and mind you know that you may have just dropped the game. How do you get back into concentrating for the next ball, instead of...

    Hong Kong Sixes 2010

    Starts early saturday morning in Hong Kong, shall be interesting I think. Not sure what other teams' players are going to be, but Pakistan have Imran Nazir and Shoaib Malik playing, so expect a lot of lost balls as usual in the Sixes.

    Johan Botha chucks

    Now prove me wrong, but I think he's chucking. He doesn't have any abnormalities that I know of, but if you look at his arm, there seems to be some chucking going on in the delivery of the ball, particularly in his doosra deliveries. Any professional opinion on his bowling action?

    PCCL Inactivity

    Right, for some reason, this is getting a tad well boring since well no one (or very few people) is posting. I admit I haven't helped the situation either, but I think we need to get the activity back to what it was at the start of the season. Comments on how we can do this?

    Stuart Broad's signed bat

    When do I get a chance to win it, since it was mentioned it would be used in a competition.

    The REAL Funny Videos Thread

    Now normally someone would start with a thread with a video, but I don't have anything. So post whatever you find that you believe will amuse me on YT here. Yes, I'm bored.

    ICC World Cricket League Divison 4

    Teams participating are: Argentina, Tanzania, Italy, Cayman Islands, Nepal, and the United States. I predict USA and Nepal to go through, with Italy having an outside chance. I don't think there is any live coverage of these games like there were for division 1, but if anyone finds...

    Chris Broad / Stuart Broad

    First-class prick, how in the world did he become an ICC Match Referee? Surely ICC Match Referees should be former players who had good disciplinary records themselves? Today, he has a word with Aamer about running into Ponting when Ponting clearly elbowed him - I mean, are you serious...

    The Quitters / Disconnections Problem

    Right, this is a big problem, that will kill this game online. I think the purpose of this thread should be to propose recommendations to fix the problem as a community - IE, we all agree on the same recommendations that Codemasters should implement in a patch (in a patch that also makes Umar...

    The bug that cost me the game

    So, I had to get 1 wicket of my opposition, 19 runs to win off 1 over (He was 64/9) More than likely, the game was in my hand. Well, guess what the genius Kamran Akmal decides to do? Stand at the bowler's end. WTF? Then every ball I bowled was either 4 byes, or 5 wides (idk how), or 5 no...

    Online Play

    I don't know if this warrants a separate thread on its own, but I feel it does - how's the online play (for those who have played it). Is it as smooth as playing in single player, or is it laggy and require one to account for lag when playing shots? Also can a test match be played without...

    PS3 Version vs Xbox 360 Version

    So, I have a choice here. Which one should I go for, and why? A personal advantage for me is that if I choose the PS3 version, I don't have to set anything up, while with the Xbox version, some soldering skills will be required (not that I mind). But other than that, is there any...

    Good Bye India.

    Dear Team India: We heard all about your star-studded team in 2009, as you were equipped with 50+ games of experience due to the IPL in South Africa. You practiced hitting 6s on 50 metre boundaries, and taking wickets against substandard batsmen, and called it a 'Citi moment of success'. The...
