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.

Just spreading it around mate!!

Surely after the World Cup is the time to bring in the promising youngsters?

Remember people's if you havent voted for the CW awards get voting now as theres just over a week left.

As for Matty Hayden being selected for the ODI series is interesting,it would be intreging to see who opens whether its:

Katich/Hayden

Katich/Cosgrove

Katich/Jaques

Hayden/Cosgrove

Hayden/Jaques

Cosgrove/Jaques

The opener who performs best this series and ICC trophy and...VB series (but a different sponsor now) could cement a opening slot in the world cup with Mr.Gilly.Though they could have rotations with the openers in the world cup?

Originally posted by Clapo bah, matty hayden has reportebly been pleased by his recall to the ODI team...

I think his selection sends out a conservative message Claps. Hilditch and company aren't going to be blooding many youngsters , come November , are they?

Speaking of Bermuda slow left arm spinner Hasan Durham has been reported for chucking.

Name the people who have won the rising star award (something like that on the allan border show medal night thing)Ponting,someone,I think Clarka and Cullen that means they'll be stars also name the people to win the allan border medal Gilly,Punter some other people and Clarke making him a star you cant argue when someone wins the most prostigeous cricket medal/award in australia!

You mean that is one of only a handful of decent posts Clapo?

I have 2 questions:

1)How come when dhoniisbest logs in on the bottom it shows like 5 dhoniisbest members?

2)Is it possible for an average forum schmo like me to ask a moderator/amdin to change there username to something like Anil Kumble instead.I mean change my username not the mods or admins im a bit hyper today from all the sugar in those chocolate muffins just thinking about those sweet..sssswweettt chocolate muffins.

So i've heard,I noticed myself.

Make's enough sense to me let me explain again.*deep breath*

When it was Allan Border night they had a bunch of awards including rising cricket stars,some of the people who won that award where Ponting,S.Waugh & ......others.They had the allan border medal which Ponting,S.Waugh,Gilly has won there stars cant argue with that also Clarke won that making him a star dont be frightened of his form.Noticed when those players won the allan border medal they lost form didn't make alot of runs all averagin under 30 except Clarke wo average above 30....im kidding I made that up just that statistic part was a lie now does that make 100% clear sense or not?

Today the aussie's went boot camp up in Queensland they have to toughen up there playing like a bunch of school girls,there carrying wood and pushing vans trying to toughen up so they can knock out the pommies when they brawl in the 1st test.

It's not dissimilar to what the Springboks did before the 2003 Rugby World Cup. There the boys were kept in prisonlike conditions and subjected to horrendous humiliation , not unlike what the Aussies are undertaking right now!

Buchanan has some decidely strange ideas and this has to be right up there with his best!

I should point out that the Boks got battered by England , who went on to win the tournament against the host country (now who was that???)..

....deja vu ????

Only because of Mr.Jonny Wilkinson who top scored in the tournament with all those conversions,penalties,tries and drop goals (not to mention the winning kick with just under 50 secs remaining).

Maybe be Deja Vu or could be Deja Vu when Australia host the next world cup cricket England may win?
