    Richie Benaud to retire from Commentating

    A true Aussie great, I never get tired of hearing his commentary. Richie very rarely said anything bad about anyone, the only time I can remember real anger in his voice was when Trevor Chappell bowled the under-arm delivery off the last ball in the match against NZ; Richie said it was one of...

    Richie Benaud to retire from Commentating

    Richie Benaud is to retire from TV commentating in 2010, what a sad loss this will be. Richie is my favourite commentator, always witty and informative, together with expert analysis and views. He will be a hard act to follow!!

    The Fiasco in Antigua

    Dare, you miss the point. It's the boards responsibility to have the pitch fit, they ignored their own ground staff who told them the pitch was not fit back in November, do you not agree they should be held accountable, not the ground staff?

    The Fiasco in Antigua

    The inability of the West Indies cricket board to organize a playable pitch in Antigua is shocking; apparently the ground staff told them back in November that the pitch would not be ready but they chose to ignore the warnings. In future, I think the host country that provides an unplayable...

    Could this ever happen in the Indian Subcontinent?

    I think more like we have hit upon some Indian sensitivities about race and prejudice that some people woudl rather not discuss. Yes was a simple question to ask...all it needed was a simple answer, namely: "Yes, if he's good enough, he woudl play, his skin color doesn't matter." Instead...

    Could this ever happen in the Indian Subcontinent?

    OK, put your prejudices to side for a second and imagine this scenario..... A baby boy is born to a white British couple in Bangalore...the family love it so much they decide to stay in India and all give up their British citizenship and become Indians. The young baby boy grows up to be a...

    Could this ever happen in the Indian Subcontinent?

    The guys who say there are no white Indians are obviously very ignorant, as there are many Brits and other nationalities working and living in India that have had children there, doesn't that make their children Indian. If you can have White African, why not White Indian...who's living in the...

    Could this ever happen in the Indian Subcontinent?

    Brendan Nash will be the first white man to represent the West Indies in a home series for 40 years when he plays against England next week. Could a white man ever be selected to represent one of the teams in the Indian sub-continent...? I personally very much doubt it, there is so much...

    New Test Cricket Premier League

    I have advocated that we need quality test cricket not quantity....people want to watch exciting test and one day matches...not the capitulation you normally see from Pakistan!!

    New Test Cricket Premier League

    You miss the point, Australia, South Africa and the others in the premier league don't want to play Zim and Bangladesh - they are no opposition and they do not bring in crowds so there is a big revenue shortfall. But on the other hand if you want them to improve, let them play the likes of...

    New Test Cricket Premier League

    As can be seen from results and performances in recent test matches, the test nations are now being divided into two sets of teams: the premier league and the others. So I advocate creating a two tier test system, where the premier league would be Australia, India, South Africa England and...
