    comical error in cricinfo

    This was written in the cricinfo daily bulletin for ind/aus test. Even though it was a well written article, this was quite comical unless there has been a diferent advert in the rest of the world that I have missed...the bunny was of energizer and not duracell, and it was quite well-known...

    one word desciptions of members

    after the anagram thread, I thought it will be a good idea to make a thread where we can describe our fellow CW members in one word. Or if you want you can say the first word that comes to mind when thinking of that person... top cat - brain lord of darkness - party lucky eddie - fun yaju - kid...

    Javagal Srinath

    I thought it will be nice for a Pakistani guy to initiate the topic for an Indian hero recently retired. I think he was an under-rated bowler. He had good pace and could cut the ball beautifully off the seam and had good length and line. I would go as far as saying that he was on par with Kapil...

    Shoaib ban - Does this set a precedence?

    I have not had the chance to see the Pak-SA series myself, but I just read the article on cricinfo about the Shoaib ban and how he had said just a few swear words to Paul Adams. Does this mean that everytime a player says a few bad words in the heat of the battle there will be a ban imposed...

    who are the real chokers?

    Javed Miandad labeled the S Africans 'chokers' but I guess Smith now has the right to askthe question 'So who are the real chokers'? :)

    Sub Continent league

    I never saw the rashid latif incident where he was suspended for five matches for appealing on a questionable catch. But the idea just seems absurd and ridiculous. In Cricket, players do a lot of things similar or much worse which go completely unpunished. Like excessive appealing by spinners...

    batsman who never wore helmets

    Batsmen who never wore helmets when the helmets had been introduced? Viv Richards is the obvious answer, but I was having a discussion with a friend of mine, and as far as I remember Gavaskar never wore one either, but I am not sure. Larry Gomes did not wear it much I guess, but if I remember...

    Betting, Match-fixing, 'Fancy Fixing' - Rashid Latif

    Betting, Match-fixing, 'Fancy Fixing' I read an interesting letter by Rashid Latif to the ICC. I am sure most of you have already read it... http://www-usa.cricket.org/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2003/JUN/207194_PAK_29JUN2003.html And there was a well written comment on this letter...

    The other thread just gave me this idea. Yaju. No explanation needed :)

    Downloading music?

    the original thread was closed, because it was thought that Kazaa and WinMX are illegal. Is it really illegal. If it was illegal would it not have been closed down by the authorities. If the law does not call (maybe I missed something) it illegal then how can we call it illegal?

    cricketweb.net main page

    The news on the main page is not updated very frequently, which kinda makes this site look unprofessional, when infact everyone seems to be doing such an outstanding job maintaining it. Is it possible to change the main page or update it more frequently (I know easier said than done), or just...

    favorite nickname

    So what do you guys think is the best nickname on this site, and others that you might have come across on another site... I think eyes_only is a clever name. Others that I like: lord of darkness - because its also a lyric from Queen's best song, my favorite group paid the umpire, and...

    First of all I have never met anyone on this site in person, not too many people are living around this area, who like cricket... Yes there are many I would like to meet (with reasons)... - Yaju - meet the man behind the strange topics :) - Top_Cat - meet the person with many talents, not the...

    censorship criteria at cricketweb

    I have many concerns about the censorship standards here, I would like to know how everyone else sees it. First of all is there any kind of written code, I could not find it if its there. This is a reasonably large site and very well organized, and I think it deserves some kind of guidelines...
