how about having a shoutbox for short messages that dont belong in threads, or to get peoples attention e.g. "one more player required in test sim 89" or "great victory well done england"

Good idea RAL !
AK , it's place to post a short message totally unrelated to the previous one. Like stop press on a news channel. For instance you can report a player injury here without creating an entire thread.

The BBC have reported that the ICC have turned down the PCB's request that Darrell Hair not be allowed to officiate in further international matches in which they are playing.
I think that decision correct , the governing body mustn't be dictated to by any country concerning it's Elite Umpires. It's the 1st time for ages that the ICC have shown some teeth! Having said that though , it might not be prudent to send Hair to Pakistan for a test series anytime soon. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

I wouldn't rule out Watson, Jaques or Tait playing, that being said, they have all made their test debuts, but are still very inexperienced at test level. Mark Cosgrove could be a bolter for a middle order spot if it continues to fail. That being said, michael clarke is an improved batsmen to the 1 he was last ashes and it wouldn't suprise me if he made a few significant contributions.

Ok well since this is a thread where you can post anything cricket related I just thought that I would mention that Clyde Walcott died. One of the greats for West Indies cricket has passed on. His contribution will always be remembered. So now another one of "The Three W's for West Indies cricket" has departed. Only Weekes remains. I now realised there was a thread about this on International News. I apologise. ------------- |

Don't worry daisy 77 , this is what this thread is for too. I was also going to mention it here but you allready did it Anyways , Walcott , another great of windies cricket. the 3 W's as many know them as contributed well to the game. He played 44 matches and had an excellent average of 56.68. He made 3798 runs and had 15 centuries with his best score being 220. An excellent batsman... there's no doubt about it as pitches those days were harder to play on. I just wish West Indies can get another great batter like him ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

Shane Warne suggests at a Post ashes retirement if he has another stellar series as he would love to go out on a high note.... Also, Gilly expects that more senior Aust. players will be rested in the future from smaller tournaments such as he has done with Aust. tour in malaysia. Isn't this a warning to the ICC that if players are having to miss tournaments that they are playing waaaaaay to much cricket?? ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!! Thanks for the many fantastic memories Marto, Langer, Warney & Pidg |

I've just found out Muralitharan has never played more then a 3 match test series which is amazing he took a record 22 wickets in 2 tests against the proteas a month ago. How come Sri Lanka dont get to play 4-5 test match series like I all the other test nations apart from Zimbabwe & Bangladesh? ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

I can't believe what I saw on T.v. In Jamaica there was a school quiz competition that was shown on T.V. They put up a cricketer picture and ask who it was and none of the students got the answer. You will not guess who they didn't know..... Shane Warne. Anyhow , in the TCL WI u-19 competition. Guyana and Barbados are battling for the Challenge cup (the 2 top teams battle for it). Barbados all out for 213 and Guyana was 59/2 on the end of day one at the Bourda Oval ( Guyana international stadium ). ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

I guess it has something to do with money. I think which ever side gives the ICC more money plays the most matches in A series. I think I've heard that story sometime ago when a cricket match was playing but still I am not sure or it may be due to the fact Sri lanka unlike SA , ENG , WI , PAK , IND , AUS aren't all that competitive in test cricket. I think the same goes for NZ to. I don't think they have played any 4 or 5 match series as far as I've been watching cricket. Maybe one of the older chaps on the forum knows something about it.

At home their crowds for test matches are poor - they still prefer one day cricket. Because of that it's not financially advantageous to play 5 tests so they play a hundred one dayers instead! England play 5 tests (even 6 back in the 80's) against Australia because the demand is massive - it's still the biggest test series around the world. They also play 5 against SA and used to against WI , that's gone down to 3 or 4 now because of the Windies demise. England have yet to play 5 test series against any of India , Pakistan or NZ , the first two still mad keen to keep the one day quota high. Time plays it's part too. England played 3 tests against SL earlier this year and then 4 tests against Pakistan. They started in early May (the earliest that a test has EVER started in England) , they'd have had to start in the snow if they wanted another test! ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |
