NICHOLAS AND KACHRA FROM LAGAAN COP THE AXE ?KACHRA FROM LAGAAN WILL BE SORELY MISSED? After the first round of the Famous XI?s world tour, Mark Nicholas and Kachra from Lagaan have been voted out of the team, amidst many conspiracy theories. One is that the voters have a problem with...

Will end the voting in precisely 30 minutes, current standings: 8 - Mark Nicholas 5 - Kachra from Lagaan 3 - George W. Bush 2 - Tiger Woods Last chance to save Kachra from elimination. Sadly, Mark Nicholas is looking very much in danger of an early elimination.

Not surprising really.

He'll be a flop. His innings today has kept his spot in the team for a little while yet, but I reckon ultimately that'll turn out to be a bad thing for Australia. He'll have really terrible form slumps, and when you're out of form trying to whack every ball over mid-wicket, you'll rarely make...

This is getting ridiculous. I thought getting into a league might even things up. I still haven't lost a game, and I've played 7, and am currently looking like winning my 8th. I'm going to end up with a first innings lead of 50-100, which probably suggests this team is going to get closer to me...

Doing the classic quest of bringing Bangladesh up to the top of the tables, have currently got them 3rd in the Test rankings and 5th in the ODI rankings, just flogging Australia and England in an Australian tri-series for the one-dayers, I was pretty low before then. Have the best Test batsman...

With Zorax and Jaz's votes in, the standings are: 5 votes - Mark Nicholas (THANK GOD I HATE THIS GUY) 3 votes - Kachra from Lagaan 2 votes - George W. Bush 2 votes - Tiger Woods I'll end the voting about 24 hours from now (key word being about, I don't do organised), and then I'll have a...

The first over was to be bowled by Patterson, and John Lennon was facing the first ball. They worked the ball around a little, Lennon surviving an LBW shout, and then while attempting a cover drive was caught and bowled, off a leading edge. This meant that South Africa once again thought they...

Re-sim again, see if it can be third time lucky for the Dynamos.

The opening game against South Africa in Johannesburg is starting shortly. The captains have had their toss and now they are coming out to the middle to toss the coin. Charlie Sheen and Graeme Smythe have both historically done quite well for themselves as far as the ladies went, but it...

FIXTURES AND LEADERSHIP GROUP ANNOUNCED The Famous XI have held a press conference to announce the fixtures of their much-anticipated world tour, and also the members of their elite leadership group. Firstly, the fixtures were picked using a very loose system which was largely based around...

The Two and a Half Men star has spent a long time putting a sexual spin on every sentence which can possibly be said using the English language, so putting spin on a cricket ball should be no problem for him. If he can get through batsmen?s gates in the way he can get through a woman?s, well...

I vote we award each team five wins each, therefore nobody can be accused of cheating, as we are getting equal reward, and it won't damage either team's position on the ladder, in fact it will improve both.

William approaches a dodgy pitch and it speaks to him, ?Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe?? He responds, ?As good luck would have it, it may moveth early but paradise is here for the willow wielders.? While I don?t plan to keep up actual Shakespeare references, as I don?t...

Don't know how I've got this song, but Voodoo Child Blues. Jimi is so cool I'm sticking him in my famous cricketer story thing.

Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child, particularly the first bit. Just awesome. Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island Might...

In probable batting order, the first three players of the Famous XI have been named. Always wanting to be the frontman, the Liverpool guitarist/pianist/singer/probably other thingsist as well has decided to try his hand at cricket. When offering his services to the team they were worried...

Due to twenty20s being dubbed by the cricketing public ‘boring’ and too slow-paced, the ICC has acted quickly, and shortened the game to a six over-a-side game. This is due to the common thought that overs 4-17 are boring, and people only really turn up to watch the overs 1-3 and 18-20. This...

Funny to hear people suggest Warner is a better player to have in the team. He has had one big slog in a twenty20 and failed both other times. If Australia are going at well over 6 an over, and Clarke settles it down with his low strike rate and brings it back to a 270-280 sort of score, I can...

Can't blame you all for following suit really, they're a great idea. I want a go in one of these but strongly advise nobody to go up against me because I get bored too easily and will only last a series.
