Seriously, the more I see of Umar Akmal the less I rate the lad. Obviously he's got a lot of natural talent, far more then any of his teammates, but his technique against the quicks just doesn't fill me with any confidence as he doesn't seem to play forward nor backward, everything is so crease...
There really isn't any, Auckland have Hopkins who is 33, Northern Districts have McGlashan at 31, Central have Van Wyk and Griggs who are both in their 30's and Canterbury have Young who is 30 also. The only "young" keepers going around the first-class scene at the moment are de Boorder who you...

Heck, I'd love to see the one day games gone and have each team play each other in a three day game, I can't imagine that would be any harder to make a schedule for, you could easily fit it in inside two weeks.
Solid win for India that it must be said, I was really gearing up for watching todays play but my stream cut out five minutes into todays play :( Ah well. I still hold reservations about Raina and whether or not he'll cut it as a test match player but he played well in both test matches so you...
He's also a complete and utter moron squandering the god given talent he's been given. It's got to the point where someone has to ask him does he actually care anymore, does he want to be a international sportsmen, because right now it doesn't look as though he does.
One thing this game fails to do with a lot of South African players is to factor in that quite a few of these no name players have played a lot of amatuer cricket which has really help boost their first-class records. In South Africa your've got franchise cricket which is the top level of...
It would also make it harder for India to win ;)
Virender Sehwag is one of the reasons why India are on of the best test teams in the world, his ability to score quickly really does make up for India's rather poor test bowling attack. You take Sehwag out of that team and it becomes a lot...
Leighton Burtt's a very good bowler on his day, he get's it through at a decent pace and usually gets the ball to move away from the right handers. Problem is however he's as injury prone as Shane Bond, probably even more so if you can believe it. The poor guy has never been able to finish a...
New South Wales didn't want Brendon McCullum last year though.
From what I've read about this tournament the IPL teams decide if they want a certain player to play for them or not, so really the player has no choice in the matter. If Bangalore want Ross Taylor (and they will) they'll get him...
