Was just wondering on what people thought - does the current world cup need a strong Indian showing in order to be considered a success? I guess the dream final would be Pakistan and India. The nightmare would obviously one or both go out in the early stages. Can the world cup do well without...

The fear is once again raised that an English county may go bust, especially in the current economic climate. The problem as I see it is that none of them will ever entertain the idea of change, unless it involved a bloated product or killing their cash cows. In some ways, losing a county...

We have the main contenders as being: Kenya - traditional top dogs but floundering of late Ireland - steady team, some decent players and able to spring a shock Scotland - much like Ireland, less strength though Netherlands - Somewhere between Ireland and Scotland Canada - Always there or there...

Wowsers, look at the cracks not to mention how much the ball is doing once it hits one. Would not want to bat on that track.

Ok, he turned the chance down but he was seriously pursued by the tories http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12416939. What other careers should other cricketers go for after they finish in the game. Obviously, Tendulkaar will be elevated to some kind of deity and Swann will become a ropey...

I have to buy a new bat and I'm a little stumped as to what weight to for. Personally, I like light but some people have been saying I need to get someone with a little more meat on it. I can live with either but are there any benefits to having a 3 pound bat as opposed to a 2 pound 6 one?

The guy is 35 and injured so is it right that he is shocked at being left out? Sure he was in good form for part of Ashes but that is test cricket, not 50 overs. For me it was obvious that he wouldn't go but it seems Hussey had other ideas. Patriotic or something else?

The countdown begins with less a fortnight to go. Played in Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh this is looking to be one of the most open tournaments for a number of years. The big guns are pretty evenly matched - all have their strengths but all have at least one killer weakness, whether it be...

Former captain Butt banned for 10 years, five of which are suspended, Asif for seven and Amir for five, an ICC anti-corruption tribunal rules. Seems Asif got hit the worse as he has 7 years whereas the other two get 5 years (in real terms)...

As reported by the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12365517) the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is going to bring charges against Mohammad Amir, Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif for their role in match fixing. Whilst I won't dwell too much on this at the moment, I find it interesting that the...

Word is receivers acting for creditors of people stitched up by Stanford are going after money he gave to the ECB as part of their ludicrous T20 tournament some years back. Figures are in the region of £2 million which would leave a dent in the ECB budget. What do you reckon, will they get the...

The Ashes was great (helped by an England win) but the one day series which has followed is dire. 7 games is at least two too many and it serves little purpose. Isn't it time that the ICC stepped in and regulated the fixtures so that all teams get a similar amount of game and to stop the likes...
