Zimbabwe really just came unstuck at the absolute wrong times. In the first and third match they allowed India to recover from bad starts and in the second, their top order failed to carry the momentum from restricting the Indian batting after a good start. That middle order looks mighty frail...

Classic. Only thing I'd say is that I want Alastair Cook to go back to batting the way he was. It seems to me he's gotten caught up in this idea of aggressive cricket to the extent where he's been pushing and searching for runs, and that's just not his style. Let the aggression flow through...

Every time I watch Umesh Yadav I get the feeling that he just doesn't have a plan B. Plan A is bowl fast and hard at the batsman's body. And if that doesn't work, or the pitch is slow, or you need something else for the conditions, he has no answers. His international career is young, and...

That countdown is now at 23 days and change. Any news on features/price/screenshots/anything at all for the new game? EDIT: (06/22/15) Counter is gone! No update on game that I can see.

I thought that was just hyperbole or Cook backing his man. Didn't think people seriously thought that there's a better fast bowler in the world than Steyn today.

A switch got flipped somewhere, we woke up one morning before the Rose Bowl and went, "Oh wait, we're not supposed to be doing well in England!" Then everything else fell into place.

Where has this Anderson/Steyn discussion come from? Steyn is better by almost every statistical measure. Yet another overseas Test, another lolworthy batting performance, #WhatElseIsNew? Gutsy stuff from Dhoni, and more importantly he's found the right balance between defending and...

They used to make a trial version available in the past, but I don't see any options for that this year. Unfortunately that means that I won't get to play it this year, as I feel this game is undeserving of my $26. But there's always next year.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! We should stop playing Tests outside of India. :facepalm

My problem with ICC's lack of player attributes is two-fold: i. It's just not realistic. The modern captain/manager has a bevy of scouts/analysts at his call who would be able to provide information about player attributes. Leaving them out is unrealistic because any captain playing at any...

I'll give you that the graphics don't really matter, but for me the hideous graphics that remain in place are just another representation of the greater problem of the core game not having evolved in any meaningful way for the better part of a decade. There's still no new FC structures, no...

Well, at least there's a preview now. Looks like the new UI is simply imported from the tablet version, but it is a step in the right direction. The abysmal graphics are the same and there are no new features being advertised, so this becomes an easy decision for me to skip this game.

Apparently Jadeja's verdict was overturned as well, so I think the judge decided that no camera = no evidence and chose not to believe the version of one side's players over the other side's players, which seems a safe and logical choice.

I don't agree with Step 2 or 3, and part of Step 5 makes no sense to me. Step 2: If we do away with the predictive element of Hawkeye, then essentially there is little reason to use Hawkeye. If we're asking umpires to make a judgment call about whether the ball will go on to hit the stumps or...

Of course not. But we must understand that switching a few bowlers around isn't going to suddenly boost our attack to "consistently match-winning" levels. VenkatSteyn! Love it! I wholeheartedly disagree with the part in bold. Management and captaincy can get the best of out the skill and...
