    Is the Indian Premier League ruining Indian cricket?

    The problem I have always had with the IPL is that its not like a proper league in the sense of the teams being simply set up for the league, not county/state teams, not old school teams people have supported since young...simply teams made up of players bought for massive amounts of money...

    Odi: Is 1 Day Cricket Doomed?

    Never thought of that, very good point. Change the format and all your historical records are out of the window as they start getting demolished, major shame for all those who put in massive performances in for their teams.

    New Zealand Tour In England

    On another note I thought New Zealand were going to struggle after seeing their batting and then England coming in, but Southee did tremendously with his bowling to get 4 wickets off 17 balls. I thought we were strong in our second innings with Root shining with 71, again before Southee went and...

    Definately, on the performance he is putting in its hard for them not too look at him...if he continues the way he is going then he will definately deserve a place...good player I think!

    IPL to air on Youtube

    Great news if it does...many people dont get to see the IPL and it will offer an avenue to do so. Maybe with Youtube saying its likely to move to a paid option for streams, this could be a way for the IPL to gain interest and then move to the paid stream option once its live on Youtube...even...

    Odi: Is 1 Day Cricket Doomed?

    I love my ODI, not keen on T20...I like the idea but would want to keep the ODI format constrained so it doesnt go on longer than it already does...if you know what I mean :confused:

    New Zealand Tour In England

    Joe Root has been an inspiration for England Lions to gain the draw, I was going to go down but the weather was poor and it showed with the game getting rained off. Root is on for 1,000 runs this month and would be the first to do so in 75 years if he achieved it.

    New Zealand Tour In England

    So NZ are warming up to their huge two game series against England and are not doing bad if the reports are to go by. The news is saying NZ got a solid start against Derby and with two half centuries whilst resting some players Im hoping the black caps give England a good run out on the 16th.

    Test XI Selection Thread

    I suppose thats the problem, there has not been any blooding in of younger players to have much of a pool of players to choose from. Clarke may be an important batsman, but he is no leader in my view. Its a difficult one to call as it could be that they picked the best squad available to them, I...

    Lastmanstands.com 8 Aside Cricket

    To me its not about the schools playing cricket, which the schools I went to did.. and even had summer break training during the school holidays. Its about getting the kids to move from playing at school into teams outside of the school set up, this is where I have the issue...

    Ipl Killing T20 Cricket?

    Id be surprised if England do, Im sure NZ team will be unhappy with two matches against a second rate England team. Im hoping that for our sakes its a good turn out from both teams, for what little there is to play for.
