    Australia tour of South Africa, 2008/09

    I would assume McDonals selection in the team is more to do with hopefully being able to tie down an end and not leak runs, a partnership bowler who has the ability ability to score runs with the bat. That will be crucial, especially with the other pace bowlers in Johnson, Siddle, Hilfenhaus...

    Ronchi Bandwagoners

    What are you talkiing about, that is a massive difference. If a side scored at a strike rate of 91 in a ODI they would end up with 273 runs, where as a side scoring at a 108sr would end up on 324. That's quite a sizeable gap, 51 over a teams innings infact. I'm not really for or against either...

    Watson as test opener?

    I think some of you guys who are making accusations in this thread might want to read the article. The way it reads is that he has been asked about Watson being in contention for a spot as an opener in Test cricket after Hayden retires, to which his reply is: "I don't think it can hurt, the...

    Who you think is best young talent cricketer !

    I agree that Pomersbach is potentially the best young player Australia has to offer at the moment, he is a great young batsman. Second on my list would be Ben Hilfenhaus, who has already played ODI cricket for Australia, if you're not familiar with him he swings the ball a mile and at a good...

    Australia A in Pakistan

    Great effort by David Hussey so far, gee he's a great batsman when he is in form, surely he'll eventually play Test cricket for the aussies. Also, in the battle for opener you would have to say Jaques is up 1-0 no?

    Your Cricket Me bowling leg spin.

    The videos don't have a great focus, so it's hard to tell, but it looks like your delivery stride is inconsistent. Do you have a set mark where you begin your approach from? All good spinners have a consistent "run up" and mark it out so they start from there every time. What happens when you...

    English Domestic Cricket 2007

    Well we've (Worcestershire) signed Alexei Kervezee so he could be one to watch out for this season, probably the best u18 batsman in the world or close to it anyway. And Bracken is more than likely to sign up too, but we all know what happened last year when he went to sign up for us. But with...

    Domestic cricket 06/07 in Australia

    If Edmondson can bowl consistently well like he bowled in the OD match against South Australia he could be promising. He was swinging the ball a mile and had full control over where he was bowling. He needs quite a few more performances like that though to challenge the current group of pacemen...

    Domestic cricket 06/07 in Australia

    Adcock played a superb knock today, batted very well with the tail and he might have put SA in a strong enough position to win the match.

    Domestic cricket 06/07 in Australia

    Gee Harwood is bowling really well at the momment. It took him a little while for his injury problems to fade, but last season and this season he is just looking super. NSW are in a bit of trouble though, NSW 4/124 Cowan 68* Harwood 3/24

    FC Aus Domestic Comp (Cricket Australia)

    Yeah, you've been going great guns in the comp so far langerrox. The Twenty20 round was a hard one, and this round doesn't get any easier for me, losing Lehmann, Hodge, White and Hilfenhaus.

    I'm pretty sure it would be an Indian but I can't even remember who the keeper was before Patel and Dhoni hit the scene.
