Don't hate the player, hate the game. It's fair to say he wouldn't have done that if the laws allowed LBWs for deliveries pitching marginally outside leg.

Would have been interesting if Tahir had to bat to save the Test, after his horrific match with the ball. Would he have hung on and redeemed himself, or would his confidence be so shot that he'd fall first ball? Excellent stuff from du Plessis tho.

Can't beat England on seaming pitches, can't beat them on spinning ones either. Harbhajan dropped for the next test, maybe Yadav back. Or Ishant/Dinda. Ashwin and Kohli need to step up and start delivering. These conditions suit them, and they have a great chance to cement their spots in the...

You can pick batsmen to rely on them to consistently produce a start, or to see off the new ball. You can't with Sehwag. He's hit or miss. He doesn't do average, he goes big or goes home.

Hard to see any changes to be made to this Indian side. Before this innings, Gambhir would have been prime candidate to be dropped. But you can't drop him after this performance. Sehwag is very hit and miss, you know this when selecting him. His 100 set the tone for us in the first game...

Bollywood has some amazing movies if you know where to look. Especially at the Indy level. If you just look at the highest grossing/best selling films, they are all designed to sell to the lowest common denominator. So lots of useless songs and dance sequences, simple storylines, cheesy...

Also, consider that India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka all had some sort of Cricket infrastructure left behind in their country as a result of the British empire. India and Pakistan had dozens of cricket grounds built and used before 1947, and Sri Lanka has atleast 6 that were in use during then...

BD need stability. A stable domestic structure, a stable coaching structure, stable selectors. They need players who are picked at 20 to stay in the frame till their 30s, not just replaced halfway through. They need a core group. And they are getting there now. They have a core group of players...

Gotta love BD.

Sammy is the most valuable player in the West Indies team now. Take him out of the side, and I guarantee they won't do half as well. They definitely wouldn't have won the World T20 without him. There is more to cricket than just runs and wickets. Captaincy, team spirit, and man management are...

Aaron's too raw for tests. Where is Praveen Kumar? And Ishant still has potential...would be good if he taps into it. I feel Cook in India will be much like Dravid in England.

So close, yet so far. Draw out of the equation. If they bat all the overs, they will score all the runs they need. But I don't know if that is likely.

245 to win in about 70 overs. Can they do it?

I'd like to see England score 556 at any point in this series.

I was reading through the early parts of there thread...there used to be so much interest. It's all gone cold now for a while.

Does anyone still play this game? Hit me up for a friendly if you do. Zorax CC, located in Kenya.

South Africa in Australia, 2012-13 : Shane Watson surplus to series unless he can bowl | Cricket News | Australia v South Africa | ESPN Cricinfo I don't get Australia's logic. Watson's not getting picked cause he can't bowl a lot. So instead of picking him as a batsman who can bowl a little...

South Africa being battered here. Wow. How much difference would Duminy have made. An extra 30-50 runs with the bat, and would have quite feasibly sent down 15-20 overs today to give the seamers a rest. Gotta feel bad for Rory too...waited this long for a debut, and gets smacked all over. Not...
