Hi All! Dunno if we're having seperate threads for new members but here goes; I'm one of these people who have moved across from simplyCricket. I'm Simon, feel free to call me anything, but try and keep away from Simbazz. You may ask "why sign up as it," but truth is, this name has followed...

sC's decision to go vB Obviously i've been away from the forums since December, but at the start the origional 4 talked about not getting vB. I'm not saying its a bad decision, i much prefer the software. I just wanted to know how, and in what ways will it benifit the whole community? (What...

Bat size. Now I'm a big man, I'm around 6"2 (and still growing may i add) and i'm looking for a new bat. Firstly, may i ask the question as to what bat Andrew Flintoff uses, now i know its the Woodworm, but size wise. It looks a lot shorter than a traditional bat, and looks perfect for my...

Falling apart; Ankle worries. Since i was seven i've had trouble with my ankles. I broke my right ankle at the age of seven, and with being on cruches for 15 weeks kind of ruined my left ankle. Now we're in winter, i wake up probably everyday with either my right one hurting, or both. Is this...

For the bowlers. This picture may just indeed come handy. First is Matthew Hoggard, his grip and release allows for swing, see how the wrist is slightly bent (i'd use a better word but unfortunately the swear filter doesn't allow me to, but the word i wanted to use in this case is not), and...

6 Ashes Test? The Ashes 2009 and 2010-11 England not keen on six Ashes Tests http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/story/324652.html I believe it will just make England look worse than we are away from home, as if 5-0 isn't enough. I'm sure it'll be rejected, would you want 6 tests?

Cricket Australia; Day/Night Tests? http://blogs.cricinfo.com/surfer/archives/2007/12/australia_consi.php Indeed an interesting read. I would sure bring in more crowds and the atmosphere might be better during the night. Is it against the tradition? Probably, traditionalists will argue so. Or...

Make Clarke vice-captain now Warne calls for Gilchrist to be replaced Link I am 100% behind Warne here, Pup can have his time learning under one of the arguably best captains in the world at the moment. I think Clarke will be one day the captain of Australia, in all forms, but he needs to...

Best Cricket Commentators? So c'mon, who's your favourite commentators?

Cricket Magazines To go a long with the Cricket books thread, here is the magazines. From what i know there are three in the UK, Spin, All out Cricket and the oldie, Wisden. Does anyone read them? Shamefully i pay £11 a month to buy all three and my collection dates back for a few years.

Indoor Cricket! After feeling a bit down not being chosen to play in this winters Indoor games, i was going to go back to rugby and be a proper man,but thankfully i've been called up, and now theres no reason for me to be cold, muddy and bruised. Basically, the way we play here in sunny old...

Gilchrist Wants His Ball Back! Courtesy of Cricinfo So, c'mon, who's got it?

Best Looking Cars. Its gotta be the Mercedes Mclaren, lovely looking car! Anyone else have any ideas?

Children in Need Is anyone going to watch it? Donate towards it? Or have done something for it?

Music, in a band? Anyone want to play a little game? As some of you may know, im very much the musical man, I play atleast 4 types of instrument, and i play in a band, well two now. So, the game, im a very interested lyrical writer, but as always i get stumped when it comes to things, so in...

The Cover Drive This is kinda a thread i post a lot of, a picture to start :D I mean, c'mon, is that cover drive played any better than Kallis does? With the exception of Ricky Ponting and possibly Vaughan?

Central Contracts; Waste of time? So, is Andrew Strauss a waste of the ECB money? Are Central Contracts really needed? Give us your thoughts!

Straight Driving help. I was in the nets today (Outside for once, its been nice and dry) and i've noticed that my straight driving has actually gone to pot. Its terrible, especially when trying to play it straight off the back foot. Is there anything i can do to improve? I'm decent on the...

Music Preference before a game. I thought this deserved its own thread. It could have gone anywhere :p Myself, it depends on who we're playing, how im expected to play etc. If i wanna chill myself out completely, one song which does it for me is Michael Buble - Home, its a soft song, catchy...

The Batting Stance Thread. I thought I'd make a thread just to show some stances at the wicket, and give a little word or two to why its good/bad. Firstly its Mr.Collingwood, the England captain has a very balanced stance, but does welcome LBW's as he kind of teeters on his backfoot a bit too...
