    Fixing a PS3

    Right, so long story short, my PS3 (I know, I'm an old timer :p) stopped reading games recently. I've tried a few things including countless efforts of going into safe mode and now I'm pretty sure that there seems to be an issue with the BluRay reader, within the system (DVDs are read fine.) My...

    The abuse of Moeen Ali

    Moeen abuse shows cricket's dark side So opinions on this? It seems like Moeen Ali is being booed because of his religion and the origin of his family. How is this acceptable? Personally, I think it's fantastic that Moeen Ali is in the England side. First and foremost, he's a damn good cricket...

    England v Sri Lanka, Test Series (June 2014)

    I figured we'd be better with threads for each Test, as they seem to get a lot of discussion. Starts tomorrow. Squads: England Sri Lanka Cook has confirmed that Ballance is set to bat at three for England. Good decision, or is it simply Bell and/or Root passing up the responsibility to the...

    Sri Lanka tour of England - Limited Overs Cricket (May - June)

    Can't see a thread for this, so here I am, doing my Community work. ;) Well, assuming I haven't looked in the wrong place! I figure we'll have a separate thread for the Tests, as they tend to get more interest. So Sri Lanka's squads can be found here: T20 Squad ODI Squad England have named...

    Let's have some predictions then, with the main event just a few hours away. Also, who's making the effort and hitting the late night trail, of those of us who are UK based?

    The ODIs (Various times in September)

    We don't seem to have a thread for these. No idea if this is in the right forum, as it's not technically the Ashes, but never mind. England's top order currently being rolled over chasing 300+. Interesting team selection as always.

    Group A: Australia, England, New Zealand and Sri Lanka

    England v Australia today. Positive start from the England openers, whatever next? :p Finn left out too, probably not too surprising with them wanting Bopara in the side for his stodginess with bat and ball. Swann also missing with an injury, but Tredwell looks reliable enough.

    England Lions tour of Bangladesh Jan-Feb 2011/12

    Thought I'd get the ball rolling on this. Didn't see a thread for it, so apologies if I missed it. Tour Fixtures Right, five 50 Over games between the Lions and Bangladesh A, followed by a couple of T20s. Should be a good tour to see who's next in line for the England One Day side in...

    ICC 2006 Patch Problems

    Basically, I've obviously had ICC2006 for years without any problems, but whether it's because of a new comp or not, the patch doesn't seem to download properly now. Whenever I hit the internet game to update, it appears to download the patch, only to crash after it hits 100%. I assumed before...

    Injuries

    So here's what happened. At the start of the season on ICC2006, I had Matt Wood out for 4 weeks. Then, Hildreth gets to 28 in the opening FC game and manages to get injured for 10 weeks. Now that is normally enough to annoy me for the whole season, but it got worse. Blackwell missed 4 weeks and...

    Cricket Books section

    Sorry if something like this is already in place, but what about a section in the Cricket Chat Forum dedicated to books about the games/players who played it. Especially now there are more and more books about, from players and the likes (Biographies/Autobiographies) yet there is no suitable...

    Back to Six Ashes Tests?

    http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/content/current/story/276502.html Australia want their next home series to go back to being six tests, so that each major ground in the country can have one, or at least one for each state. Seems a strange suggestion to me with Cricket always having a...

    Cox named as new Aussie selector.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6153482.stm Taken from the BBC, I can't find anything on Cricinfo about it, but the BBC is normally pretty good with these things. I think it's a good move, he knows the game inside out and should know a lot of the players due to his career...

    Deleting of Posts

    I mean really, what's the point? If it's not racist, offensive or even includes swearing, why are they being deleted? Or is it just one Mod who is incompetent?

    Best Current Wicketkeeper

    Right, I was on another forum and someone made the mistake of saying that Chris Read was the best 'keeper in the world. Anyways, I would like to know, who you guys think is the best at the moment. I don't mean Wicketkeeper/Batsman, just pure and simply behind the stumps. Any keeper in the...

    Close Calls........

    Right, I can't see a thread like this on the first page, so here goes. I figure we should have a thread for all those games which you either won by the closest of margins or lost when on the brink of winning. A kind of vent your frustration thread if you will. My own experience was with...

    Marcus Trescothick - Hated by selectors?

    Right, basically us English have to put up with the accident waiting to happen which is Andrew Flintoff as Test Captain. Not only that, but his replacement is out most out of form batsman in Andrew Strauss. So my question is, is Marcus Trescothick hated by the selectors? He seems to have...

    "Stay on Topic"

    The Mod-mins on these Forums are far to strict, it's getting crazy. Threads are bound to evolve, look at Message Forums around the net and they don't stay on exactly the same subject all the time. I mean the latest example '2006 Ashes Tickets' gets into talking about the Ashes. How can that be...

    The Pull/Hook Shot

    Basically I've been going through a phase of picking out the fielders when using this shot. There are two main instances that this happens: 1. "Power" Hit off of Pace bowlers. Basically, I hate facing left arm over bowlers with a right handed batsman, especially in a ODI scenario where the...
