First David Saker, now Jason Gillespie are saying it equals our great attack of the nineties and nougties.

England’s bowling attack is just as good as Australia’s all-conquering side, says one...
:D I know it's flippant of me but I thought I'd go for some light comical relief on this Christmas eve. Females find it funny anyway.;)

There is an old trick used by those looking to get an edge on opponents...
Jacques Kallis became only the second man in history to achieve the double of 8000 runs and 200 wickets in test cricket when he dismissed Stephen Fleming. Quite a good effort one would have to say!!!!!!!

Lewis "She's a bitch" are there any famous cricketing rivalries/stoushes we can think of? Ranatunga would have plenty. And a good current one is between arch bitches Smith and Pietersen.
Can anyone think of any others?
I read recently where he reportedly said he was possessed by the devil and teammates described him as having a pathological obsession with money to the extent that he could only eat out at Burger King rather than restaurants because they were a waste of money. There was also some suggestion that...
Since his name popped up the past few days I did a bit of research on him as he piqued my interest. Was amused to find how many arrogant comments and actions are attributed to him. One English scribe said he's re-written the script for arrogance. Some of the highlights include
* His speech...
To some extent a captain is only as good as his team but did last night prove that you need just one strong leader? Sri Lanka looked an indecisive rabble last night with their captain off the field. They frequently had meetings on-field, made decisions, changed them seemed to lose direction. In...
Does anyone know the heights of some of the cricketers who have played this summer? I keep hearing varying ones given for blokes like McGrath, Lee, Kemp, Smith, Pollock, Clark, Zondeki etc. For eg. I've heard McGrath described as both 6foot 4 and 6 (in the old scale), Kemp the same, though Dorey...
for using obscene language after the 13th over. The charge will be heard by Broad tonight. You would have thought after the Smith dismissal he didn't have that much to complain about.
Raining and gloomy again. Interruptions on 3 days now, and we went off for rain during the World XI game. Is Sydney the gloomiest city contrary to other rumours? :)
Is he really struggling? He just seems to lack penetration these days. Seems to me that Smith often bowls him, and maybe even hands him the new ball in deference to his status in the game rather than his potential firepower. I read that the Saffies want to encourage him to develop his batting...
Warne turns tables on Smith

SHANE Warne says the Test series has backfired on South African captain Graeme Smith, who has failed in his efforts to intimidate Australia off the field while forgetting how to win matches on it.
"I am not sure but I think the...
Just indulging in some flippancy before the big match tomorrow, do other people here reckon that the cricketers seem to pull better looking women than the footballers. Just looking at some of the photos from the ICC dinner and at times the AB medal, you wonder if some are batting above their...
Given the performance of Smith so far in this series and Kallis in Melbourne (though he may have been a tad underdone), is it fair to say that their reputations are on the line? Why I suggest reputations is that they're enhanced if players perform at at least their best against the world's...
I've heard Shane say this ad nauseam since halfway through the Ashes series. The number of wickets might be testament to this and he still has a wide array of deliveries at his disposal and relative accuracy. Nevertheless he had the chance to bowl us to victory in the Ashes and despite taking...
Indian fans are calling for GRAG CHAPEL'S (SIC), head. Apparently they can't accept his influence in getting Ganguly sacked. They are burning effigies of him in the streets. It's the burning (pardon the pun), issue in Indian cricket atm.
Ganguly dropped from third Test

They're so incompetent they must make their brothers who represented them with distinction squirm. It's embarrassing to see how bad their bowling has become, them drop catches, and their batting a shadow of its former self. With their small population and so many of them now turning to soccer...
