Re: The Way forward for Pakistan Just some corrections : The coach is Intikhab Alam and they have a fielding coach in Waqar Younis. I must admit that I agree with @Kram81 -> they have been the worst fielding side with the Windies for years, so that is nothing new. The captaincy is an issue...

Re: The Graeme Smith Incident I would think that he might lose his elite status over this matter .. it seems that he is a trouble as he does not want to make the tough decisions. I think the case for home umpires need to be considered why should Marais Erasmus and the General not be allowed to...

Re: England in South Africa England just did not fight today.. seems home was calling. Pietersen, Prior should be disciplined in my book as they literally gave their wickets away. Stuart Board (not Broad) must be working really hard for an ICC fine.. taking his time to the wicket and then...

Re: IPL 3 Auction list Yes there are some real good acquisitions on the list but I sense the problem is that the franchises will be limited to 750 000 US for the auction.. I think Kapugedra, Ajmal, Parnell and McKay could be the most sought after players in this third auction.

Re: The Graeme Smith Incident I must be honest this is the first time that I have heard of the mutual obligation to walk. Alas it is a professional sport and batsman walk based on their own beliefs. The SABC is the host broadcaster and will be it to kingdom come as they show all home games to...

Re: England in South Africa @LtD mate your spot on and I sense Mr Harper might get a some issues about it. This will be a a nice test for the ICC and the fact that hotspot is not available so I suspect the ECB and the ICC will clash heads over this..

Re: Guatam Gambhir and Irfan Pathan? I disagree and think his done his time in the national side. Tiwari and others are now in the positions and I think he may become a case for Eric Simons if he lasts in India. Simons has rebuilt careers and Pathan could be a case for him.

Re: Guatam Gambhir and Irfan Pathan? Gambhir has been the find of 2009 and is injured currently; I think Pathan is the classic case of fame and the shortened versions.. His issues started with back injuries and a lack of guidance from a coach. I also think that he has a DC case still on the go...

Re: England in South Africa 29 with out loss and the day was definitely South Africas. However I do not agree with the selection of Ryan McLaren ... whatever he did was more than Parnell (3 overs at 6 rpo) did . However I think the truth is that the wicket was the major factor in it.. Steyn is...

mate NSW not in the Big Bash finals .. what? I sense a blogpost coming :)

Re: England in South Africa @Staple Tsotsobe, Parnell and De Villiers took 6 wickets between them and I hope that Parnell proves them right as it seems that he is making his debut tommorrow in Johannesburg .. This potentially can backfire on Arthur and company. This 5 days has some big...

Re: England in South Africa @Ljp @LTD @sobersymonds gentleman Kallis has been captain in a stand in role once for the record. I think it is well known fact that he has stated that he does not want the captaincy.. He does everything and captaincy might just do to him what it did to Flintoff in...

Re: England in South Africa @Staple -> Your post seems a rant of note and some of it justified. The media is there to sell newspapers, magazines and get people to want to resubscribe on satellite TV. However they do not pick the side nor manage it .. those are done by selected individuals...

Re: The tactic of dropping fieldsmen when a tailender is in with a proper batsmen @LtD I am gonna bite .. you raise a question that has implications on various spheres of the game. Captaincy, Coaching etc. have made the situation become a common occurence but the truth is that the batsman is a...
