WP Cricket announce some changes The Western Province Cricket Association has made two significant appointments, with Nabeal Dien taking over as General Manager and former Test star Paul Adams slotting in as Head Coach of the Western Cape Cricket Academy. This was in the news a couple of...

Re: Howard Nomination Under Scrutiny I wish I can say I am surprised that CSA has supported this block move but I can't. Peter Roebucks article should be framed and given to him as it features mainly him and his good intentions, so I am in the minority here. The support for this block is to...

Re: Speculation over NZ vs Pakistan matches to be held in USA Boris the tidbits were: The US and New Zealand have a partnership that aims to help both parties. The US to get coaching help and guidance from the black caps and the New Zealand side to potentially play fixtures there. They...

Re: Pakistan Lift Ban on Malik I wish I can say that I am surprised but I am not. Pakistan cricket is in such a bizarre state. Political interference and personalities have all but destroyed them. I wonder whether this will become a precedent which could lead to other banned players coming back?

Re: Speculation over NZ vs Pakistan matches to be held in USA @Boris mate not televised? I watched both matches here in South Africa, so it seems that rights had a deal where certain zones could see it and others not. The Pearls Cup was a massive success in my book. The Venue is spectacular...

South Africa in West Indies The Series starts within days after the conclusion on the World T2O which was held in the Caribbean. South Africa is trying to rebound from a disastrous tournament and should be expected to be victorious in the Caribbean. The West Indies seek to continue their...

Re: Shane Bond Announces Retirement from All Forms It seems that the New Zealand players and management did not know of his intention to retire after the T20 over world cup. I think he leaves a big hole in their attack which is going to be difficult to fill as he hurried batsman all over the...

Re: Is the Indian Premier League ruining Indian cricket? You beat me to this as I had a similar thought about the IPL. From the outside, the sides in the World T20 do seem to feature less players that played in the IPL, I generalized but it does feel like it. There are some things that need...

Re: Should New Zealand be part of Australia's domestic season? I cannot see this happen at all for various reasons. The Australian FC system is the best in the world due to the limit in playing numbers and quality of opposition. The South African model is based on the current structure. Should...

Geezer, you alive? Have not seen a post in a while and Australia looking good...

Re: Murali Injured; Misses Rest of World T20 Just by the way, Murali played yesterday so, this news was a tad premature :) 16th Match, Group F: West Indies v Sri Lanka at Bridgetown, May 7, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Re: Speculation over NZ vs Pakistan matches to be held in USA As far as I know yes, is the answer and it will be played in Orlando, Florida. I think the main reason for this is the massive Asian community in the States which seem to travel to the Caribbean to see cricket for the World T20...

Re: Super Eights @eddiesmith the Australians today made a big point. They looked a professional side and a favorite if they keep performing as they did today. Warner is a machine and when on song is arguably one of the most difficult batsmen to bowl in the world in T20 cricket. The one reason...

Re: Duckworth/Lewis - T20 revamp needed? I going to sound like a broken record but cricket is suppose to be fair and entertaining to both the players and the fans. Duckworth Lewis has failed my country twice. The 1992 farce at Sydney(below) which I always remember when Duckworth Lewis comes to...

Re: Mickey Arthur to coach Warriors ljp mate I can understand your frustration with regards to talent production. It will take time for them to come through if they are not around at the moment. Arthur wont just keep to his contracted squad, he will look around the state for players that he...

Re: Group Stages Chat What about rock paper scissors best of three? I really despise Duckworth Lewis for obvious reasons but should logic not be that a match be constituted in 10 overs, 50% of the game? The problem that I am sensing is that it is not equalising the effects of the rain. At the...

Nashua Titans confirm coach for 2010/2011 season I must admit this surprised me as the Eastern Titans board have confirmed Chris van Noordwyk will be head coach of the Titans after agreeing to a contract extension. His first season was a difficult one and continuity could be the main reason for...

Re: Group Stages Chat Unfortunately the rain came and Zimbabwe lost due to messrs Duckworth and Lewis. I agree Chigumbura should have gone at the fall of the first wicket and also the Zimbabwe batsmen should have made a greater effort at run scoring. I got the ieea that they thought they would...

Re: England announce 27 man performance squad The 2 omissions which are interesting is Monty Panesar and Steve Harmison. I am beginning to wonder if their careers are over. Panesar with his move to Sussex seems to be trying really hard to regain a test place. But in Graeme Swann I think England...
