Re: Leg side shots For a quick, full ball, its best to play it either through midwicket or square leg in a sort of a clip method, using a straight bat. You could also glance it, but you should probably score more than one off that sort of delivery. The forcing shot area, leg side wise, is where...

Champions Trophy has been postponed This just in From Cricinfo, and it seems there is more to come

Champions Trophy I read this somewhere, but how about moving the Champions Trophy or some other ICC cash grab to countries where cricket is only starting to gain popularity, like Canada or Netherlands. If they gave out free tickets to the matches, it might increase the popularity of the...

Re: Trescothick makes ball revelation This probably isn't new. Steve Waugh said much the same in his auto biography, when he played in county cricket. There isn't that much bad with it, I mean everyone eats mints, so pretty much everyone has had the same effect when shining the ball.

Re: Mohammad Asif Tests Positive for Drugs during IPL Sorry, but you must have something seriously wrong upstairs if you think that people have something against Pakistan. And to be honest your not doing them any favours by making all these accusations with absolutly no evidence whatsoever...

Re: Mohammad Asif Tests Positive for Drugs during IPL I think you are quite ill informed. Warne took drugs and what happened? He got a ban. He didn't get let off because his board didn't want to suspend him. He took his ban, went away and came back stronger. And believe me mate, there is no...

Re: Match Fees - How much does it cost you to play? I hardly think it is a waste of money. I would gladly pay it out of my own pocket simply because of the fun it brings to the week. So the money goes to very good use

Re: S Africa boycott Champions Trophy Calm down mate, I'm dead certain that there isn't an international conspiracy headed by terrorists to keep people out of Pakistan. I don't think that you can call people who are afraid for their lives sissies. Pakistan can't be perfectly safe or people...

Re: S Africa boycott Champions Trophy Yeah, I know its pretty insignificant compared to players safety, but with so much money on stake, it may just sway the ICC's hand. However if too many teams do pull out there will be nothing to show so they may have no choice

Re: S Africa boycott Champions Trophy I think Australia has all but said they weren't going and New Zealand are highly unlikely. I heard that Sri Lanka was a possible relocation place, as well as South Africa. I think if the ICC do move the games, then there will be a large amount of...

Re: king_of_slaves's blog. Top stuff that mate! Good luck, it will fantastic if you get through. And U17's at 15 is fantastic!

Re: Mohammad Asif Tests Positive for Drugs during IPL Jeez, I don't know. Ben was pretty bad.

Re: Mohammad Asif Tests Positive for Drugs during IPL His lawyer reckons he can get away with it, or at least get a reduced sentence, because the samples had different concentrations of the drug. However I hope he does get banned, can't let him get away with it again

Re: Worst dismissal ever? Thats a classic cricket video. Good fun watching it. The only thing way I can see he was given out was caught behind, but that doesn't make any sense. Maybe the batsmen just cheesed the umpire off at some point?

Re: 'Right Arm Mendis' I tried the 'carrom ball'. I failed miserably. I could barely get the ball down the pitch, if it landed on it at all. However I think Mendis is a freak and his delivery style will, in my mind, remain unique. Sort of like Murali, no one has copied him as of yet and I...

Re: Match Fees - How much does it cost you to play? Yeah Mas, thats why Dad forced me to buy my own box. Speaking from experience, eh Jonesy?

Re: batting cramp Hmmmm, looks like a good idea, and cheap as well. I reckon you should give your hand a stretch, but as a spinner it must be a bit of a problem not being able to grip the ball

Re: Match Fees - How much does it cost you to play? Ah that would be a communal one. Suffice to say only one person uses it;)

Re: Match Fees - How much does it cost you to play? Yep a hundred big ones for the season. Pretty good, and the club can supply bats, pads, gloves, helmets and even a box.
