How is it that Simon Katich gets axed yet Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey still have contracts when they are both 36 years old? how long does Australia cricket expect them to keep playing? It's a shame to see Simon Katich no longer have a contract with Austrlia Cricket, he has served the Test...

Me peronally, I thought the World Cup was very long (it seemed to drag on for an eternity), and a lot of the cricket was quite boring to say the least. I put some of the poor cricket in the World Cup down to all the lesser teams playing which brought down the quality a notch. Why they have all...

Can i say, when i said Ponting should show some decency and resign as Captain i meant that he should, for the good of Australian cricket, he should stand down and let someone else take up the reigns as captain. Also, i dont think the choice of whether Ponting should stay on as Captain should...

Personally, In think Ponting should resign as Australia Captain of all forms of the game. Even though he scored a century in the World Cup quater final against India (it's a shame the other batsmen didn't help put some more ones on the board as i never thought 260 would be enough runs to...

Hi everyone, It appears that Australian cricket at the moment is on a downward slide, especially in test cricket. If i were given the reigns of Australian cricket and was wold to put Australia back on the map as the world's best cricketing nation here are some of the things i would do. 1) I...

In my opinion this is one of the worst, if not the worst Australian test sides that we've had in a long time. It seems hard to believe that it was only four years ago that we beat England 5-0 in Australia. And the Adelaide test was one of the worst performances by an Australian team that i have...

Michael Clarke should not have been picked for T20 World Cup side I know it's easy to say that now the T20 World Cup is over and Australia lost, but i don't understand why he got picked for the T20 World Cup side to begin with. He may well be one of the best batsmen in the world but that's in...

What has everyone thought of the Chmpions League Trophy Tournamant I must say i have thoroughly enjoyed the Champions League Trophy tournament. It just shows that T20 is here to stay and will only get bigger and better. Its been great watching the experienced International players show thier...

Re: What happened to Brian Lara What is the ICL? I just think its bizarre that past greats dont get asked by thier country's cricketing boards, to stay on and help with the development of future players.

Re: Ponting decides to give IPL a miss I don't think he's given up playing in the IPL because his allegiance lies with the baggy green. If that were the case why did he play in the tournament to begin with? It would just make him the biggest hypocrite. Isnt his decision more to do with his...

What happened to Brian Lara Brian Lara was one of my all time favourite players. He was such an entertaining batsmen, and will have to go down as one of the all time greats. Does anyone know what he is doing now? Why wasn't he in the IPL tournaments, i would have thought for someone of his...

Re: Should Ponting Retire From ODI's? I don't think Ponting should retire from either Test or ODI cricket any time soon. He is one of the greatest batsmen of all time and his win loss record in both forms of the game are among the best of any Australian captain. And he showed in the 5th...

Australian Test XI - Selection Thread Okay we've lost the Ashes. As humilating as it is to handover the Ashes to the Poms we must move on, and leave that behind us. We need to conentate on the next series. By the way does anyone know when the next test series Austrlia plays is, and who we're...

Re: Should Mike Hussey retire? I say yes. dont get me wronmg i think he's been a great servant to the Australian side but i think if he's honest with himself he would say his form of late has been very poor and not worthy of selection in the Aus side. his poor batting performances in the Ashes...

Re: sack the Australian selectors, vote My answer is a great. big, resounding YES! i know this might sound insane, but why not put some recent players (i think Shane Warne would make an excellent selector, anyone else agree?) that actually know a thing or two about cricket and winning...

Why i think Australia lost the Ashes Hi everyone, I'm no cricket expert or anything just a cricket fan, and i thought i would share my thoughts as to why i think Australia lost the Ashes series. Firstly a big congratulations to England for winning the Ashes series. Having said that they...
