Re: 2006 Oval Test result 'to be changed' Got to add my 2 cents that this is pretty shocking. Just shows how history is written by the powerful and that the power has shifted from ECB and MCC to the Asian sub-continent. The original point was that "players" play by the rules, and management...

Re: High-tech bats to be made illegal in terms of the progress by technological means you only need to look at the similiar debate in golf. The increased power of the drivers means that courses are having to be redesigned to bring the par level back to the correct ....well par. Gary player...

Re: UK Politics? the biggest change that needs to happen is the scrapping of the winner takes all system of voting. Labour said when they first came to power they would change to a more proportional system. This is the system proposed...

Re: Aero Strippers P1 In terms of customisation . I think the aero strippers have enough for 95% of the population. They come in 4 sizes and you can adjust them with the various velcro straps. It makes a big improvement on the one size fits all policy of most manufacturers.

Re: Aero Strippers P1 they looked very soft. I think he is just used to his setup by now. No need to change right before a big test. There is also probably has a kind of "lucky underpants" effect. hehe

Re: Aero Strippers P1 I just saw a photo of vaughans setup in the Metro newspaper today. He has tied his inside thigh pad to the waist strap of his front thigh pad. Do you think someone should tell him about aero strippers?

Re: the £51 million blackmail series thats a good point AB but where is the incentive for the players? Now does to ECB hunt around looking for sponsors for what always was a bit of a wildcard idea or do they admit they cant compete with the IPL and ICL? They badly need a third option. Ideas...

Re: the £51 million blackmail heads he wins, tails the MCC and ECB lose. If he wins he can make bats cheaper out of plastic, if he loses he got more good PR making himself out be a saviour to invest in Twenty20 for the MCC and the MCC look like old duffers. I change my original propsal from...

the £51 million blackmail series I had been trying to understand why an oil baron was prepared to pay £51 million for a four way series. Why was he prepared to pay so much more than even teh IPL? Then teh Times has this today: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/cricket/article3927271.ece...

Re: Aero Strippers P1 Its been 1 season now and I have to add a couple of things. Like other people they are now my favourite bit of kit as they feel so natural I dont notice it anymore and they offer excellent protection, giving me much more confidence. With regards boxes and jock straps...

Re: Injuries Manee: you say you have flat feet well I think that should be your first port of call: Go to your doctor> describe the situation> he should then forward you to a specialist chiropodist for your area> he will check out your feet and if they require it get arch supports custom made...

Re: Does indoor cricket help or hinder playing outdoor(regular) What about indoor cricket but on a grass wicket?That would give more accurate bounce.Also might get some seaming. I also dont think 16 overs each way is enough. I mean its not even 20/20. The prob is now they have adjusted the...

Does indoor cricket help or hinder playing outdoor(regular) I think there is a bit too much pushing of the ball into specific areas which gives the most points. Plus there is no fear of getting out: most times you just get deducted 5 runs or so. Bowlers cant get a full run-up for top pace...

Re: South Africa Vs West Indies Match Thread What a game! Everyone in the comentary box was saying WIndies had it in the bag. SA making it with 14 balls to spare means that if a team want to post a top result it now has to be near 250. I remember Collingwood was saying that England know how to...

Anybody watch the match last night? Bit one sided in the end. That guy Ed Joyce was on form: seeing the soo early. He played a pull shot to a ball that was outside off and on a good length: just went forward and down on one knee. This was off a quick bowler. Havent seen that since Viv Richards...
