    Death of T20 imminent? Fad passing?

    The ICC and its members have done a terrible job managing the game over the last decade and they're paying the price. Looks like Twenty20 cricket is headed the same way as ODI cricket - overplayed and lacking in fans. As long as a form makes money the powers that be will try to push it as far as...

    Howard Webb

    Well he may have made some mistakes but geez wouldn't it be nice if those players stopped diving and made it easier for the refs? Sure you may get a few going your way but next time you may be the one laying a fair or nothing tackle and getting sent off or conceding a penalty. It really is a...

    IC10 playtest @ Codemasters - 4 June

    I don't think I actually faced a spinner in the end or I can't remember. What I can say is bowling with one was a lot more rewarding than in AC09.

    IC10 playtest @ Codemasters - 4 June

    Yes actually I did use spin bowling, when I first came on with spin after using pace for quite a while I really felt the difference and the AI batsman struggled at first to adjust. There's a definite difference there and like the pace it's a lot more methodical - if you put in a good plan with...

    PlanetCricket Exclusive Interview with IC10 Lead Designer Heath Smith

    I was playing on hard with the HUD off in the background. Assuming that was when I was bowling, it's true - I really did get hit off those free hits. It certainly wasn't too easy for me, although I did hit a few cracking shots between the plays and misses. aus5892 added 0 Minutes and 31 Seconds...

    IC10 playtest @ Codemasters - 4 June

    Sorry for not posting a full review guys, I think Matt really said it all (we did discuss it afterwards) in terms of our impressions. I went in not expecting too much out of the game given the fact that AC was a bit of a disappointment in the end but I really did feel that the action cam made...

    John Winston Howard - ICC President 2012 and beyond!

    Cricket has been split for some time sohum, it's integrity has been compromised for years and it's about time these issues came to a head. In the short term a split would be devastating but in the long term it might just sort out the issues present.

    IC10 playtest @ Codemasters - 4 June

    Today's playtest was very promising. Matt will be giving you a full review later on accompanied by an extra goodie but I can say that I really enjoyed it, the new camera angles really do add something to the game, batting especially which is so much fun on hard with the pitch marker and field...

    John Winston Howard - ICC President 2012 and beyond!

    Because it's what the ICC needs - they have become far too corrupt. When they sacked Speed for daring to suggest they follow the recommendations of an independent audit of Zimbabwe Cricket's finances, they just reinforced what we all know - they are a joke of an organisation that holds no real...

    John Winston Howard - ICC President 2012 and beyond!

    John Howard's nomination to ICC post in doubt | Cricket News | Cricinfo ICC Site | Cricinfo.com Of all the reasons to oppose Howard's appointment, this is by far the stupidest and most abhorrent. You can pretty much guarantee this is directly related to his very public condemnation of Zimbabwe...

    Australia 2010-11 contracted players

    Would have thought Bracken and Clark are better options than Lee - Clark is the only one who even looks like playing test cricket, while Bracken is a better limited overs bowler than Lee anyway. Dave Hussey's pretty stiff too, he's just lead the domestic competition in runs scored and is...

    If Cricket Captain 2009 worked on your computer, 2010 should be no different. As for exact minimum system requirements, we can't know that until the game has been completed.

    The Pies aren't quite good enough, and Luke Ball will help but he won't make them serious contenders. The Dogs are mentally soft, too inconsistent and only perform when their backs are to the wall. Their list is good enough (have the second best midfield in the league) but Hall is going to...

    What to do with the MCG on Australia Day?

    Flemington will always be better than the G for a festival like Big Day Out, because it has room for multiple stages. They should play cricket at the MCG on Australia Day!

    Back injury forces Peter Siddle and Brett Geeves out of the summer

    Very poor management of Siddle, played him into the ground in that ODI series when it was really unnecessary. The current hierarchy really know how to stuff Australian cricket up.
