Hey folks, I am student at the University of Cambridge and I am undergoing a consulting project with a group for a company called the Yearbook Machine, who are interested in entering the Australia/NZ market. To help with our feasibility analysis, we are conducting a quick survey to gauge...

Which tactic do you think is more threatening ? The traditional one is over the wicket but nowadays you're seeing more bowlers go around the wicket to the right handers. I've started to prefer this type of bowling...which I think is more threatening to the batsman since you can beat him on both...

We all know that playing spinners and fast bowlers requires a different technique, a different style of play and different scoring areas. I've been playing cricket for a while now, and recently I've started using two bats during the course of an innings. I am an opening batsman, so I use a...

:facepalm This kinda thing happening in international cricket is just ridiculous. Quite unbelievable. Dhoni was caught at mid on, but the umpire signaled a no ball. Since it's common practice nowadays to check with the 3rd umpire Ian Gould did so. They put up a replay of ANOTHER delivery...

How do you rate the Ashes this year ? Did you enjoy the Aussie drubbing or did you feel let down by the lack of competition ?

Well, I think this incident alone deserves a thread to name and shame Randiv. India needed 1 run to win in today's ODI against Sri Lanka. Sehwag was the batsman on 99*. I am going to quote Cricinfo : If I could I would've posted a screenshot, it was a ridiculous no-ball. Is there any...

"MS Dhoni has signed a a two-year endorsement deal worth approximately Rs 2 billion ($ 42 million) with a sports marketing agency. The deal surpasses the three-year deal worth Rs 1.8 billion ($38 million) that Sachin Tendulkar signed back in 2006. Dhoni will be represented by a joint venture...

So, guys, here's my idea. Why don't teams nominate a more dispensable member of the team as the pseudocaptain so that if the over rate is slow the real captain doesn't get banned ? Do you think this would work ?

Title says it all. We have seen the two new franchises, each being sold in excess of all the previoius ones combined. Player salaries are set to rise, and the IPL seems to be a good financial investment (in the eyes of the investors anyway). There, however, is one man who's name need not be...

Leading cricketer of 2008: Virender Sehwag Test XI for 2008: V. Sehwag (India) G. C. Smith (South Africa) R. T. Ponting (Australia) S. R. Tendulkar (India) K. P. Pietersen (England) S. Chanderpaul (West Indies) *†M. S. Dhoni (India) Harbhajan Singh (India) M. G. Johnson (Australia) D. W. Steyn...

http://content-gulf.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/358408.html Following on from the other thread, I think this deserves a discussion of its own. Case study: Me. Born to Indian parents, I'm an immigrant in the UK where I play cricket. I don't know why England are unable to produce world...

I think this has been one of the best world tournaments for quite a while. I feel it was well organised, and actually a success for the ICC ! There was more in it for the bowlers than one would have predicted, and a lot of the games were thrillers. How do you think this tournament went? And what...

Mod Edit :eek: :eek: :eek: I'm going to vomit....

Since there isn't a thread for this I thought I'd start one. Who's watching this series? I find it quite entertaining and sometimes very funny. It's also a good insight into business, though I know that the stuff they do doesn't mirror real life business accurately. Favourite Contestant...

Whopeedoo! And it retains it's awesome...ness. David Mitchell is one of the greatest comedians now, imo, at least in the UK. Robert Webb gets overlooked, but he's great too. I think Peep Show is the best English comedy going around now. The dry humour nails it. Anyone else share the same...

I thought I'd start a discussion on a pretty interesting topic. Some of you may have seen Channel 4s documentary - The Great Global Swindle (available on the internet). It says that the global warming has nothing to do with industrialisation and is more due to the changes in the sun, etc. This...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/other_international/pakistan/6440511.stm I found this quite interesting. So will the players avoid questions from most of the English speaking journalists or will they reply in Urdu, with an interpretor ??

Is there anyway of getting patches on to an Xbox 360 and will they work? I'm guessing no.

http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/rsavpak/content/current/story/279870.html That is very harsh, in my opinion. He didn't even make contact with the spectator. A monetary punishment would have been fine I think, or maybe 1 ODI, but four!

In what is a statement that confirms that Darren Allardyce is better than any other in Planetcricket, I was delighted to receive this message today : "Darren Allardyce has been called up to his National U19 Squad. This will mean that he is not available for selection for any games between...
