BBC Sport - Cricket - Cricket World Cup: Kevin Pietersen confirms opener role Well, I wouldn't have gone for KP personally, but it's an aggressive move.

I saw this on the BBC site and I think it's a really good interview with a good insight in to county cricket and a part of the process behind getting test matches. I think it's completely unsustainable to expect counties to spend 1.5-2 million on an Ashes bid, that'll be bigger than quite a...

I'm not expecting a change from either side, both teams did pretty well and still some questions to be answered by both sides. For Australia, fielding improvements, Tait and Lee's fitness and motivation being the big three. For England, is complacency an issue, will they take their foot of...

So, enjoying the new series. "It's a Jersey thing" had me in stitches and I've got 'Coon 2 recorded from last night to watch at some point. Anyone else a watching?

This is slightly surprising for me, born out of frustration out of not getting selected in the ODI side? I still think he'd do a better job than Bresnan, but he's had a couple of good years for us. His New Zealand tour was fantastic, not to mention his role in our T20 WC win. Ryan...

This is a complete gamebreaker for me when it happens. It can destroy good matches and is infuriating, it was in AC'09 too. I sincerely hope it's noted and, if not fixed in a patch, rectified for next year. More annoying than the uppercut six from a yorker. :(

I've been gathering a lot of feedback from mainly our forums for how you want the game to progress, I'd like to open this up here. There is a lot I've taken in, but it would be great to hear as many opinions as possible. Discuss.

So I'm watching the Sussex game on the TV and I know that Chad Keegan at Sussex only has a OD contract with us, having not played an FC game since Sept. 06. Are there any other players in England who only play certain formats? I can't actually think of any others apart from Flintoff.

This is turning in to one of my favourite comedies since Red Dwarf, it's so clever and quite different from anything else in the genre. All the characters fit, none of them are weak characters, which is quite unusual for 5 main casting characters. We must have some other fans here, I suspect...

Firstly, I know there are quite a few from the sub-continent here, so this may be a bit tricky. As the info I need, is really based on English/American cakes, ie, stuff you would typically find in the UK. Secondly, I'm doing a unit at college which involves me setting up a hospitality...

I'm currently doing an ECB umpiring course, and did you know that per the laws of the game, only the protected area of the pitch has to be covered? It is to be agreed between the groundsman and umpires before hand if it is to be covered across the whole pitch. A rule back from the sticky dog...

Pretty big news, quite unexpected. BBC SPORT | Cricket | Counties | Leicestershire | Leicestershire seek Hoggard deal

Final game of the group, if New Zealand win or it's a washout, they qualify. If England win, then Sri Lanka qualify. England are in good form, and will look to beat a side they have struggled against in ODIs of recent times.

Well, last weekend I spent Sunday at Santa Pod in Northamptonshire for the European Finals of the FIA/UEM schedules. Got some good videos, I'll post some of the best, and feel free to roam around others. Got some more to sort through tomorrow! Fastest run outside of the US for a supercharged...

Day Seven in the Planet Cricket house and zim has finally accepted that his name is Dave! It's time to present the results of the Best Sub-Forum and Cricket Chat Poster awards. The first award of the evening is the Best Sub-Forum, this award recognises the most popular sub-forum on...

Ashes Cricket 2009 - PS3 Let's start with the technical stuff. The game runs on 720p. I was slightly disappointed with this, I think it's great to utilize all the resources available to a game. I kind of expected it, seeing how the game looked on the PC. The PS3 version comes with several...

One of my mates is a Data Analyst for Aston Martin (I think I posted a piccie of me in a DBS last year) and he has the arduous task of taking them out for a spin every now and then (well, a bit more than that, it's half his job). On Tuesday he took this out for the day, and home for the night...

If an umpire can't decide if the light is bad enough to be dangerous with his own eyes, then he shouldn't be an umpire. Technology has its uses, this is not one of them.

We've hit 40,000 members. Another big step for us in our fast growth as a site. On average we tend to get a new member sign up every half an hour, which I think is mightily impressive. The next 7 months of 2009 is set to be big for us. Ashes T20 World Cup New games to be released.
