Hi!! My name is Sanet, and I am originally from South Africa... We moved to Botswana a few years ago... I'm 16, almost 17, and I'm madly in love with cricket...!! I've never actually played cricket for teams... since, well, I guess some people believe girls shouldn't play... Okay, I'm exagerating, but my school doesn't have teams for girls and they don't want us to play with the guys... so yeah... I like the feeling of cricket... I like the way it touches the players personally... I obviously support the Proteas, though I'm not that fond of Greame Smith... The age-old argument of him being too young and inexperienced... Though I must admit he's currently doing pretty well in Australia, or better than I expected I like watching Formula 1 as well (Kimi all the way!!)... Rugby is okay, but I'm not a big fan... I'm going to do my last year of school next year, and would like to tour Europe before I go on to University.... I love History and reading fantasy... I'd like to watch a game live one day... I've never really had the opportunity... I'd like to see a World Cup, though I think I'm gonna have to keep dreaming about that one... O well... Anyway....um... That's it i think... Edited by Kiasa |

Well, My name is Ibrahim Khan and I'm 17 years old. I'm an opener and bowl medium-fast deliveries. I live in Dubai but was born and raised in Canada. Well my grand parents are Pakistani!
The previous msg about Muslims was extremely racist and I cant tolerate these types of pathetic behaviour! He/she should watch it next time......anyway nice topic to start with. I like the idea... |

First thing...I was away from the site for a couple of days because my Internet was having some problems for a few days and it completely stopped working, but now it is back to normal.
Muslim, I never said curve the ball, I never even showed you how to spin the ball. I only worked on line and length with you. So stop making stuff up.

Hi i am a fan of yours and i think with a lot of good pratice you will make a top leg spinner so keep a ball in your hand when ever you can, and get a book called[ spinning a Web] by Peter Phillpot it will help you a lot.
Keep spinning |

Hi there guys, I'm Raihan Shaikh, 19 and live in the UK. Just came across this site by accident when searching for a good cricket bat to buy, and one of the posts came up as a link and thats how I found myself here. I love cricket and play every season. I'm a batsman, and play in all positions from 1-6 depending on the situation of the match. I support Pakistan passionately, despite never having been there! :D Anyways, you guys seem a friendly bunch, so hopefully i can start posting away! :) |

Hi folks. I am a big watcher of cricket,
being a member at my local county as well as going to England matches
whenever possible.
I also play, albeit to a pretty low standard, for a local village side which I love doing - can't say my wife is too thrilled about being left with 3 kids every Sunday though! My boys are 8 and 6 and they have county memberships too so I am slowly getting them into the game and also had bats made for them so they can smack a ball around when the urge takes them. I look forward to engaging in some forum discussion soon! Edited by Clobber |

... (Sorry Smith fans, by the way)... I generally enjoy watching cricket... If SA's not playing, then I support the Aussies... I like Brett Lee... he's a great bowler...and fast. Then in the SA team, I like Andre Nel (I like fast bowlers in general, I think, but him in particular) and Mark Boucher, Justin Kemp... I also support the Titans... I've been watching cricket since I was a lil' girl, and as I grew up my love and understanding grew as well... Back then, I knew the batting line-up from top to bottom, though I don't remember all too well right now... Something like Garry Kirtsen, Herschelle Gibs and then Daryl Cullinan... I used to like Pat Symcox and Jonty Rhodes... I liked Jonty especially... I used to love Hansie... He was my all-time hero... I was young when the whole thing happened, though even now when I understand I don't hold it against him...
