Re: T20 Tournament locations - to grow the game? Why isn't the T20 world cup only held every 4 years anyway? In such an overcrowded calendar it seems silly to have to have it every year. You could hold both the T20 and 50 over cup every 4 years with a 2 year gap between each event I.e...

Re: T20 Tournament locations - to grow the game? 20/20 is probably the only format of cricket that would have a chance of getting in the olympics due to the timeframe in which a game can be played. Not much longer to play than most other team sports. The question that then needs to be asked...

Re: Could a Woman play elite men's cricket? Could they bowl at an international standard? You are trying to compare female batters against male tail enders who are not picked for their batting skills. You need to compare batters against batters and bowlers against bowlers.

Re: Tait Gets His Contract Back I agree with most of what has been said. Is an asset for the ODI team where he can bowl in 3 or 4 over bursts. Lack of stamina means he probably won't play in the test side again.

Re: Bat Changes Have you seen a particular incident where the changing of a bat has had a controversial effect on a game? I'm just curious as I have never seen a situation that has prompted me to think of your above query.

Re: T20 Tournament locations - to grow the game? I think 20/20 cricket has already become too big. Like most cricket purists I believe Test cricket is still the best. 20/20 could be used as an introduction type vehicle into non cricket countries. When they have seen what the games about...

Re: Could a Woman play elite men's cricket? I would say that's a fair example of the difference in quality. Why the need to try and compare womens sport to mens sport?

Re: New Zealand in Australia You've got to be kidding. This is probably the most devastating natural disaster in Victorias history and you complain about missing Haddin get a 100?! I'm sure all those that have lost houses, family etc. would be just as upset getting a bushfire update rather...

Re: New Zealand in Australia Good to see them off to a good start finally.

Re: Indian Premier League Auction (Feb 7) Mortaza bought for $600,000 after a reserve of $50,000! Someone seriously undervalued himself.

Re: Johan Botha - Does he chuck? I believe Smith is still the ODI captain however due to his injury he was forced home after the test series.

Re: New Zealand in Australia Aaaaawwww. The poor little ************. If you are not performing you get dropped. All this cotton wool treatment of younger players is ****************.

Re: This Player Burnout BS How much influence does the captain have in selection? I was under the impression that while he will be asked for an opinion he is not officially a selector of the team. Ponting would therefore have had very little say in whether he was rested or not.

Re: Shaun Tait Unless you are only bowling at 120-130kmh the fast bowlers world wide will always have a slight straightening of the arm.

Re: Who should bat at number 6 in SA? McDonald may not bowl quick but geez he bowled some very tight spells in his debut test match.

Re: Australia H Z :p

Re: This Player Burnout BS I thought it was the selectors who "rested" ponting. He wanted to play.
