CSA and PCB oppose ICC changes Good to see. Hope SLC, BCB and WICB follow suit. ICC's revamp plans : CSA demands ICC proposals withdrawn | Cricket News | Cricinfo ICC Site | ESPN Cricinfo PCB set to oppose changes ICC's governance model - Rediff.com Cricket

Both of these statements are wrong. Both Ajmal and Swann made their debuts in 2009, and Ajmal is only a year older than Swann. It's not Ajmal's fault that Eng play a lot more Tests than Pak. I agree that Herath belongs in the discussion of the world's best spinner. There are a number of...

Mike, I think it's time to forget about this scam you came up with a few months ago to sponge off from the Double - Ashes header by making a half-assed game. You saw an opportunity to exploit your old licences in a very uncompetitive market (until Ross announced himself), and even now, your...

I agree. We hear nothing for years about a sequel to IC10, and then just conveniently it gets announced a few months before the double Ashes header. From everything I've read and seen, the whole thing seems a rushed idea to make some quick money from the Ashes euphoria. Fully expect to 505...

The main problem is India's attitude. It's pathetic. They have no fighting spirit what so ever. As well as England have played, they haven't really met the intensity they did in the UAE and SL. Didnt Pak get bowled out for 99 or something in one of the Tests and still go on to win? That's...

Why was Hesson made coach in the first place? It's not like he was setting the world aside by making Kenya world beaters. Wright was a doing a pretty decent job.

Which was what I was hoping for. :p Manly's antics ruined everything. Good game by Colin. Both you and RPHKR were pretty much at the lower end of my scum radar. Thedon and Ste were pretty much high up, which shows how well I played lol. Hate being the vampire btw.

Lost all respect I had for McCullum. This is atrocious! Apparently, they told Ross just before the SL series that he would be getting the sack. Credit to the man as it puts his recent performances at even a greater height :thumbs Guess Warne was right about Buchanan. What a waste of...

I still believe India can save this match. England will probably bat until lunch, and then India have to bat out 5 sessions. Which this India line-up is more than capable of doing. Statchin is still hungry for 50's; Pujara is in form; Kohli is bound to turn up; Sehwag can still have one of...

Things are getting tense.

I agree with War here. SA are a really strong team atm. With the 4 quality quicks + Kallis, do they really need a spinner? Plus, I love the Steyn-Philander opening combination. Might be the strongest opening combo since the retirement of Wasim and Waqar.

I reckon it's going to be a flat pitch. The curator said it was the same pitch that was used for some recent Ranji games, and if memory serves correctly, they were high-scoring draws.

Shane Warne believes he is still capable of playing Test cricket if Australia call on his services | Cricket News | Sky Sports Just read this. Apparently, if asked by Clarke, Warne says he would return to the test side. He's worried about Australia's spin options for next year's...

A Warner 300 from 200, a Ponting farewell ton and another double from Clarke should see Aus through :D Lol, Ian Healey sure is optimsitic

Good luck fellas :thumbs
