Did you see his statement on cricinfo matchpoint? It makes total sense. It is a matter of one day, they will literally arrive in NZ a day later. The only reason members of the ODI squad are not allowed to play in this round of Ranji is because the players are taking off on Day 4. Why can't they...

Agreed. Teams should be able to sign each individual player to contracts for a certain number of seasons, like in the NBA. This whole wipe-your-slate-clean after every few years is annoying. I guess it is a way of 'small' teams to compete, and have everyone with an equal chance to win the...

I am by no means an Ishant fan, but the guy did have his moments in 2013. The turning point of the CT final and his really good spells in JoBurg are real highlights for me. Idk if I would call this year a failure for him.

this is the most depressing thing i've read ever

I think there has been a competition from both sides to see who can suck more while touring. Australia were all over the place in the UK. Coach fired a day before the series, had like 25 openers in the starting XI, didn't know what to do with Watson, etc. Bowling was probably the only good thing...

Batting Category Best Batsman - Virat Kohli (ODI), Michael Clarke (Test) Best Youngster - Cheteshwar Pujara Bowling Category Best Bowler - Dale Steyn Most Improved Bowler - Mitchell Johnson... wow Team Category Best Team - tough call really. No team has stood out this year in tests. ODIs...

What is the team of the year? My crack at it: Murali Vijay - Didn't think he would make the cut but he averages 54 this year! Graeme Smith Cheteshwar Pujara Hashim Amla Michael Clarke AB de Villers (wk) R Ashwin Stuart Broad Mitchell Johnson Dale Steyn Saeed Ajmal Rest of...

Who is the best number 11 in world cricket? Lyon has to be up there surely.

haha, after a certain point you just begin to trust the players. They know what they are doing. I enjoyed watching it :p

Shocking news.

Everything will turn out fine Sami. Thoughts with you and your family.

Pleased with the two wickets. Had a laugh watching MSD bowl as well. He's really not that bad tbh, I would say he's about as good as Ganguly was (and he was pretty handy). I wonder if it will wicketkeepers who can bowl will be a more common thing in the future. Back in the day it WK's didn't...

Cool Idea. Added twist, I'm only going to include players I've seen live. Alastair Cook (ENG) Tamim Iqbal (BAN) Ricky Ponting (AUS) Sachin Tendulkar (IND) Brian Lara (WI) Jacques Kallis (SA) Andy Flower + (ZIM) Shane Warne (AUS 2) Wasim Akram (PAK) Muttiah Muralitharan (ZIM) Shane Bond (NZ)...

I don't think we can be overly critical of India's performance with the ball today. Yeah, another wicket or two would have been nice, but I would take SA being 206/6 after being 130/1 any day of the week. That being said, we have to take our catches! It is moments like these that need to click...

Our fast bowler situation is in a state of flux that it was when Zaheer, Nehra etc made their debut. Very inexperienced but they did serve well for a while through the decade. Zaheer was supported by the fast bowlers who would come and go like Irfan, Balaji, Munaf, etc etc etc. We will be lucky...

As much as I love Ashwin he does bowl a lot of hit-me balls (at least one an over) and looks a bit toothless when conditions aren't helping. This can be problematic when he is the lone spinner in an XI. Hopefully he has improved as a bowler since we saw him last time overseas in Australia.

Apologies if this question has been asked before (haven't really looked), but is the Xbox 360 version of this game region free? AKA will I be able to play it on my USA Xbox? Thanks! Excited for this game, hopefully I can play it!

Lovely walk down memory lane.

Australia in India 2001. Faint memories of watching it live but still get chills watching replays. NatWest 2002 India tour of England in the same year, lots of memorable innings from Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly, key performances from Kumble too. India v Pak 2004 India tour of Austraila 2003/4...

I am enjoying iOS 7 on my iphone and ipad. Having used it for a week or so now I don't think I can go back. It has that next-gen feeling about it.
