I'm locking this thread. we got a tough group but we were so inconsistent, can't really say we were robbed when we put in performances like we did in Georgia.

I have no idea, I just tried to embed it with disasterous consequences. aside from missing the point that england were pumped in the last world cup we spend more money on cricket than rugby as well, so why he's gurning about the cash I'm not sure.

There is a certain irony to rugby's success though, the problems with it's product are inadvertently helping the game spread. it is still too focused on having a load of truck sized men dominating power wise, where this helps though is it's not that difficult for any nation to find 20 or so guys...

when it comes to KP being kicked out I stand by my original opinion. I can't remember what it was but I'm pretty confident it was good.

yeah, in ODIs I suppose it's sanga with Gilchrists only ace in the hole being that he was a trailblazer in taking the role to new heights. Sanga is also the kind of ODI batsman that's not very ODI like, a bit like Ponting who is usually criminally overlooked as a great in the format purely...

not sure if this would be good or not but it's a really imaginative idea that you deserve kudos for. a whole "relationships" module could be quite cool. as well as enemies in opposing teams you could have batsmen that you have better partnerships with, wicket-keeper/bowler chemistry...

Sangakkara probably but it is a pretty tricky question because to a degree it's like comparing apples and oranges. Sangakkara wasn't keeping when he was at his best with the bat but in all honesty it's difficult to divorce yourself from the idea that this is a batsman that should be regarded...

this is a mad line of reasoning, should sri lanka face sanctions in the way of a fine? should the stadium serve some sort of ban? yeah, probably. should we treat this incident like an act of political terrorism? er no.

not a chance, if anything, T20 is bangladesh's worst format, obviously they've had absymal results in tests and some decent ones in T20 but that's down to the nature of the two formats where tests will punish any sort of disparity in the sides over the two days whereas 3 decent overs can win you...

about 4 years ago I had a bet with someone that Bangladesh would finish this decade above the west indies, so I'll be happy, they still have a bit to do in tests though.

you know their series win against South Africa means they will be in the next champions trophy at the expense of the west indies or pakistan.

big improvement in the things I mentioned in the recent patch, only real match engine flaw I see now is that players too often choose to shoot from tight angles rather than pull the ball back. still think players moan too much but that's part of the game, plus I think I was just too worried...

I'd have to agree with that, has Saker made a single played in his tenure a better player?

got the new one for my christmas. it's good but there are a few things that irritate me which I hope will be picked up in the final patch which usually comes about march. The match engine when set pieces are taken is a mess, far too many goals scored from corners and whenever you score a...

tbh, I don't care anymore. I haven't played the game in about 3 months, I might have a gander when patch 3 comes out but I'm not really too fussed.

well, it's been a successful series of warm ups, feel a bit daft "supporting" Scotland at a cricket event but I'd love to see them cause an upset. I think we're one of the few nations yet to cause a real surprise in a world cup.

There is so much contradiction and hypocrisy in the ICCs stance and the diatribes that the associates put up with. First, the 2007 world cup cause widespread dissatisfaction, because Bangladesh and Ireland dumped out India and Pakistan, doing away with the india-pakistan grudge match that's...

guess who's the next dodgy business man looking at some shares in Rangers? planetcricket's very own Lalit Modi!!!!

there was a good article by gary neville on their setup Gary Neville: The era of the gaffer is over - Telegraph tbh, I think swansea are pretty similar, albeit they've stalled a little in recent years.ha, beaten to it. (by 5 days, I really should have seen that)

yeah, but when the computer AI lines the ropes with fielders to block boundaries it's doing that to replicate realism. the AI in that instance is meant to be reacting like you'd expect a cricket captain to react when they have a set batsman at the crease. but it's a bad replication of realism...
