Re: Test Cricket for Ireland (Face Book) Having a look around the world I sense it is a matter of time before a second division is formed for some associates (like Ireland for Test Cricket etc). The Irish have definitely improved the most from the Associatyes and have performed admirably in ICC...

Re: England in South Africa @Boris @LtD Guys they have won 7 straight against South Africa (In the UK and in South Africa) - this might be 3-1 in Englands favor ..

Re: England in South Africa I must admit that I am beginning to wonder if South Africa are giving caps away in the ODI series against England. Kallis gets injured, Gibbs comes in and today Morne Morkel is added to the squad. Does this show that the "achievements" are being seen as nothing as...

Re: ICC showing their incompetence again. Disgraceful. The fact is that the issue at hand is cost and the broadcasters in certain countries do not have the funds so the board needs to cop the costs. South Africa has the 2 extremes the national broadcaster is battling to pay salaries let alone...

Re: Richie Benaud extends contract for three more seasons This is some real good news which means that I wont have to listen to Mark Nicholas for too long when watching the Australian Summer. The truth about Benaud is that he is an ambassador for Australia and for cricket.

Re: England in South Africa Are you serious? Supersport Park is not a small ground I think it was merely a case of certain players dominating (Smith and Bosman) and the Bowling being swatted to all parts. Why Cook is captain ? - I thought he looked real planless and why give Rashid only one...

Re: Schoolyard team selection- ALL TIME!! Guys I must apologise for my poor effort on this thread - I was overseas on holiday and had no internet for 10 days. If it would not be an issue I would like to wait till the end and pick my side from the left overs. I can only apologise for it and to...

Re: Victoria doesn't deserve to have any Australian representatives. The irony in that for me is that the author of that article played for Victoria. The truth is that young players get chance after change and is seen as a potential (if the state gives him enough chance) for a while. It is the...

Re: Player of the Decade Boris - mate Tendulkar uninspiring? - I cannot believe that you mentioned that. I hope it is because he has struggled in Australia but he and Lara have to be the most dominant batsman in the early 90's. I can remember him dominating various matches to the point where it...

Re: Schoolyard team selection- ALL TIME!! Guys - If there is a slot open - I would love to join this - if it aint to late :) This could be very difficult and create some massive debate

Re: Vale David Sheppard Will be missed and had a positive influence. I cannot think about any controversy except him doing aerobics for nelson.

Re: Champions League T20: What does it mean? Champions League T20 is the way I think certain players will put them on the map almost like the IPL did in the beginning.I think for the first time in years that first class cricket has something on the horizon for all. (I still would like it to be...

Re: Clarke Named Twenty20 Captain Pup being made T20 captain seems logical and will prepare him if in the future he becomes test and ODI captain(which might take years to happen if Ponting plays).The question is who else if not him? The Hilditch apppointment is one which baffles me. I have...

Re: Hoggard and Yorkshire Can you direct me via a link to this , I searched for it but could not find anything related. I think it is a great idea and should ensure that more South Africans play here than in England.

Re: Hoggard and Yorkshire Reward system is this inline with some sort of salary capping. Would love know more about it. I agree with whatever county will get him will get someone that would like to make a point. It seems by accounts that the parties have different views on the situation. I...

Re: Ferguson Out For The Season On a serious note - reconstructive surgery on a knee and 6 - 12 months recovery time. I hope I am wrong but this might change him as a player. He was in agony in South Africa and this explains it. I find it interesting that he went for a second opinion on the...

Hoggard and Yorkshire I read this afternoon over the shocking treatment that Matthew Hoggard got from Yorkshire CCC. Suddenly a contract was no longer an option and he did not get a proper send off after playing his last fixture for them at the time. What changed and why has he gotten this...

Re: Some common sense at last TV and Sport I doubt if this would happen. It would make sense but unfortunately the boards get mega bucks from the subscription based operators. We have the same issue here in South Africa and only the national side home series matches are shown on the national...
