    Gibbs dropping the WC

    Heard an interesting story on the radio the other day regarding Steve Waugh's infamous "You've just dropped the World Cup home" quip to Herschelle Gibbs. Apparently Wippa :ph34r: (the local RJ here) had an Australian mate called Keith or KR as he is known. KR was holidaying in South Africa...

    In Charge of a New Country

    Someone else has already started this thread but I can't find it. Essentially you are in charge of a new cricket playing country and you are allowed to recruit players from the test playing nations on the proviso that the players must be above 26 years of age, currently active and have NOT...

    Most memorable piece of commentary

    So sports fanatics, what line uttered by a commentator is permanently embedded onto your brain - no matter how hard you try to get rid of it. It can be something clever, sarcastic, stupid, inspirational - whatever tickles your fancy. Mine has to be: Simon Hill:"Aloisi, Cahill, CAHILLLLLL, Tim...

    Your First Post

    This was mine in response to the Ambrose/McGrath poll circa 2005. Too often in life, we are crudely judged on our first impression - well the CW equivalent is the first post you made on this forum. So the way this works is you assess the previous poster on the quality of their first post...

    Players you love XI

    Obviously the opposite of the hate XI thread. You might like the players for a variety of reasons - way they play, persona, off-field qualities etc. (don't just stick to the way they play) 1. V Sehwag (So anti-Indian in the way he bats - quite refreshing, blistering, carefree) 2. C Gayle...

    Should Tasmania be a part of New Zealand?

    I reckon to even things up a bit in the cricket, we should give New Zealand Tasmania. I mean lets face it who would really care if Tasmania floated away and became geographically closer to New Zealand :ph34r: . It's obvious a few fervent Australian supporters don't like Tasmania's favourite son...

    Fab Five Replacements

    With Ganguly already announcing his retirement and Dravid and Kumble playing well below their peak, it's time to discuss what you think theIndian batting lineup will look like in 3 years time when all 5 (bar possibly Laxman) retire leaving a massive hole in the Indian middle order. Personally I...

    WordSnake - Cricket Version

    Idea of the game is simple. Create the longest word you can consisting of cricket players' surnames. Rules: 1. You can select any player who has played international cricket for his country in either Tests, ODI's or T20. 2. There must be atleast 2 letters common b/w one player's surname and...

    Best of ....

    Controversies aside, what an amazing summer of cricket we had. After the MCG test match every Ind-Aus match was a genuine contest of the highest order with bowlers predominantly on top. SL played their part too but relied more on individual brilliance than a sustained team effort. So you decide...

    Palindromania ainamordnilaP

    Shamelessly stole this idea from another forum :ph34r: Post your favourite palindromes. If you don't know what they are, they are words/phrases that spell exactly the same way forwards as they do backwards. Here are a fewof mine: " A man, a plan, a canal, Panama." "Malayalam." - Longest...
