Hi. Was just thinking, does anyone remember the Superthread. I think that's what it was called. It was basically a thread for off-topic chat about anything and was pretty fun but then got closed for some reason... Anyway...just a thought from me... Back on with your days :)

I've been touched by the support of the PC community through my illness. The thread that Tom made was genuinely nice and all of the comments have helped me greatly. I ask for one more favour, that the moderators let this thread stay so I can advertise my blog which I'm going to be updating while...

The progression and obsession of a talent! While airing my views on fast bowling with the confidence of an expert but credentials of an amateur, it would be fair to estimate that I am a formidable bowler myself and perhaps I am, at the level at which I play. It all seems very simplistic to...

ICC should let bowlers 'prepare' the ball - Donald | South Africa Cricket News | Cricinfo.com This sort of 'tampering' seems reasonable to me and could help prevent the shift of the game towards the batsman. To see the ball hooping around corners would be perfect for spectators and would...

A new feature for planetcricket, a copycat of Cricinfo's Talking Point with me and Lee as the discussionists. Let us know what you think of the feature. Any criticism is welcome as are any compliments.

What do people think of the 7.5 minute strategy break after 10 overs. Personally, I think, in theory, it provides a new dimension to the game, but feel that it is too long and that two or three minutes would be sufficient.

Something which has plagued me recently is wondering why James Anderson and Dale Steyn, despite appearing quite similar in style and quality, have such differing success rates. Is Steyn simply more accurate? The economy rates beg to differ as Steyn goes for 3.62 runs per over compared to...

Analytical genius or whiney twirp? I think that Bob Willis really creates excitement and comedy while raising extremely good points which many are afraid to mention when he is analysing another dismal England performance or another dismal umpiring performance but I have heard a few, maybe a...

Simple question to the Planetcricket community; how much longer for Stuart Broad to pull some bowling performances together in Test cricket? It has been 10 Tests and he has just 26 wickets at 45.23 to his name. He was the big long term solution for the 2009 Ashes and it is not all negative, tbf...

Hi planetcricket members, August sees the return of the journalism competition, a competition in which members submit articles which are then displayed anonymously and voted for in an open public poll to last seven days. This month's talking point is Twenty20 cricket. Diverting somewhat...

Source: Indian Express My views on the matter I initially thought that this is a poor move by the BCCI to cut ties with the MRF Pace Foundation. However, the decision does make some sense to prevent bowlers recieving too much conflicting advice. The BCCI are correct to attempt to create a...

Camp for Test aspirants begins BANGALORE: Test aspirants and most of the regulars began the seven-day camp at the NCA in right earnest. Barring Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Mohammed Kaif the rest limbered up for a long session under skipper Anil Kumble, physio Muthu Kumar and trainer...

With the debate of the forms of the game raging strong, I ask which form of the game you prefer to play and why?

Hi all, This thread is for me to jot down my performances in the 2008 English summer. I am a left arm medium pace bowler who bowls predominant outswing to the right hander. Over the winter, I have worked on increasing my pace and adding an inswinger to my repertoire. My cousin owns a speed...

Full article: Cricinfo It is good to see the ICL expanding to give its players a good opportunity to prove themselves in all three forms of the game. Unlike T20, four day cricket is an area where the ICL can really improve on the BCCI's version. Better, more consistently sporting pitches...

Source: Cricinfo Good on Harmison, his place in the side is under scrutiny, but there is still fight in the dog. He is fighting his critics, hopefully he can start to do the same on the field.

Every so often, a new thread is created about the World Test XI or the World ODI XI or the All Time Australian XI, etc... Here is an index of the threads which should be used to discuss the topics. World Test Team World ODI Team World Twenty20 XI World/Asian/ROW T20 XIs All Time Test XI All...
