Ha, I'm struggling to understand how you read my reference to IND in that post and interpreted it in any way critical to come up with this response.

Pretty sure I didn't call it a "great turning pitch".

Never saw Vilas before the 1st test, all I would say is that his technique looked a bit shaky in general & based on that evidence I can see why one would say QDK is better. Will be interesting to see how he goes for remainder of series, because its obvious QDK is back in good batting form & it...

I'm a passive follower of Rugby, but seeing a lot of interesting articles in recent months by folks au fait with both sports administration highlighting how the IRB growth is outdoing the ICC. Ye possibly, few people would have made runs vs Johnson in that form. But then again one could argue...

Uhh I don't think anythin I said in that post disputed any of this.

Where does Denesh Karthik rate these days?

1st test review thoughts South Africa Well like most the previous IND tours I've seen with SA during their # 1 rein in 2008 & 2010, they obviously knew they were going to get a real turning IND pitch at some point - arguably more so in this test series since that's the only way IND were going...

Pakistan v England: Boycott says Ian Bell 'must do more' - BBC Sport

CARICOM panel suggests 'immediate dissolution' of WICB | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo Seems like the Caribbean governments (CARICOM) has decided enough is enough with the WICB madness, a serious ICC matter looming here - but as the report said the precedent of a interim body running a board with...

The making of Moeen | The Cricket Monthly | ESPN Cricinfo Lovely read. Only thing I would say is that Mooen's rise to the ENG team might encourage more Asians in ENG who generally support PAK/IND to want to play for ENG, but I can't see it resonating too much with the black population.

I'm a say this though, if it the pink ball experiment fails in the adelaide test, from the standpoint of players and spectators sharing similar complains in front of a big global audience, that we have been hearing from those who have played D/N 4-day games - it will be quite an embarrassing...

Ajmal faces ICC action after testing outburst | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo Poor old Saeed getting all delusional now, going down the conspiracy theory route

Yep the same WICB that their CARICOM governments because of terrible track record of lying and being horrific administrators, is now calling to be disbanded and a interim body similar to what runs Sri Lanka cricket take over CARICOM panel suggests 'immediate dissolution' of WICB | Cricket |...

ICC faces open rebellion - Telegraph Potential signs of tension

No a lot of people always believed Ajmal was chucking for a long time. ICC was the ones who came out and admitted in June 2014, that their method's for testing/judging illegal actions was flawed since the Murali case in 1998 - ICC committee mulls better methods to detect flex | Cricket | ESPN...

You have a point regarding BCCI, but totally off in suggesting other boards are greedy. This is old point that was debated before in this thread when BIG three started so lets recap. ICC was never a financially viable institution before Jagmohan Dalmiya became president in the mid 90s (when...

Matt & Poker makes some good points. Reading all players comments etc - I am on the fence until I see how things play out in Adelaide. As Matt rightfully said AUS & probably ENG and to an extent S Africa don't need day/night tests. So in a lot of ways the adelaide test is just a commercial...

Well I've never actually seen him bowl, so will be interesting to see him in action eventually.
