    Ashes Predictions

    We might have had a thread on this already, but now the hour is nigh, so time to go on the record again. 5-0 Australia Top runscorer - Shane Watson, just from Ricky Ponting. Trott for the Poms. Top wicket taker - Mitchell Johnson. Swann for the Poms. Dumpings - Marcus North...

    Facebook

    Ok, going to get ridiculed here no doubt, but I don't get it. I don't understand why people are on it. I don't understand why people want others to know what's going on in their life, or why they want to know what their friends are up to, when they are not in the same room as them. I'm...

    Battle of the Albums

    Ok, having criticised the current battle of the movies, I guess it's on me to do something constructive. So, ta-da-da-dah! Battle of the Albums. Has to be something released as an album - best ofs do not count. I think we'll cap this at 64, might look at 96 if we get enough noms. Normal...

    Last bowling slot in my all-time XI

    So, with Murali retiring, my prejudice against including active players in my alltime XI becomes moot and I'm shoe-horning him in. It's led me to a bit of a reshuffle of that XI. Currently undecided on the final make up of the bowling attack, have three options that seem near equally good...

    *Official* Australia in India 2010

    Still a couple of months away, but conversation starting in a number of threads already, and anticipation building. Mod to sticky please. TBA vs Australians (Mohali) - Sep 25-27 1st Test - Mohali - Oct 1-5 2nd Test - Bangalore - Oct 9-13 1st ODI - Kochi - Oct 17 2nd ODI - Visakhapatnam -...

    Problems logging in?

    Just wondering whether anyone else is having problems logging in at the moment. For some reason I can't log in from my iPhone. It shows the logging in screen, but then when it returns me to the forum, I'm not logged in. I've played with all the options on my phone (I think) re cookies, pop ups...

    LGBT Thread

    Ok, this might be interesting. I'm creating this thread because Sir Alex's thread was immediately swamped by the ongoing issues some members have with him, and he has with them, which led the mod team to close it. I've had a brief exchange with the mods and flagged with them that I thought it...

    Battle of the Hottest Disney Princesses

    Yes, this is what i think about on my way to work. I defy anyone else to watch the amount of Disney Princess Adventures that i did over the past three days without becoming slightly odd. Anyway, dont judge me, just cast your vote. The candidates include: Snow White Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)...

    Future for international cricket as we know it?

    Will say at the outset that this is not intended to be another thread that either a) aims to sledge the BCCI, or any national board in particular, or b) wants to propose a new format to tests, test championships or some form of hybrid between tests/odis or odis/t20. I want to talk about the...

    Lmao

    A thread to post things that made you lol when you saw/heard them. I'll start: Pot charges dropped against Paris Hilton Although it was funnier before the judge wussed.

    Should homeopathy be banned?

    Because I'm dissatisfied with the current level of SS-rage in support of science, let's discuss whether the practice of homeopathy should be banned, given it does no good and can acutally be dangerous. To be clear, I'm not talking about any other kind of alternative remedy, some of which...

    Smith blasts ex-players/selectors via Twitter

    Love how Twitter apparently means that there's no longer any requirement to act professionally re: keeping things in house! Fat Grey's come out swinging in response to criticism of his team: "Find it amazing that kepler can sit and say should have picked a younger squad when he was 1 of the...

    The next Kallis?

    According to Mickey Arthur, it's Mitch Marsh. Glad that Mickey clarified he didn't want to get ahead of himself! :) Silly comment IMO - Kallis is actually 'the old Watson'.

    Random Country Draft Poll

    A poll as to who's XI from the Random Country Draft is the best. People were asked to compile their XI, with each round the player being drawn from a country at random. Participants did not get advanced notification of which countries would be drawn, so had to balance selecting the best...

    Different measurements of bowlers

    From a post made in the Lillee vs Garner thread, I was talking about how wickets per match (wpm) or strike rate can be a valuable alternative/addition to straight bowling average when seeking to quantify a bowler's quality and importance. Strike rate is easy enough to retrieve from Statsguru...

    Random country draft

    I'm on holidays for the next week and a bit, sooooo, have time to do one of these. As an idea to differentiate it from previous drafts, the twist in this one would be that each round a country is randomly selected. Will require a good knowledge/ability to research and make for some interesting...

    Who's the better lower order batsman?

    Johnson or Hauritz? Johnson's batting seems to have reverted back towards the guy's mean. He's a good number 8, but not really an allrounder. Hauritz has been killing it in the lower order however.

    Appreciating good techniques

    An idea I was tossig around. Cricket conversation in general, and certainly on here, makes regular reference to the strength or weakness of a player's techniques. I suspect I can't be the only one here with a less than encyclopedic knowledge of what exactly, in technical detail, constitutes a...

    Winter Olympics vs Commonwealth Games

    Two events with major delusions of grandeur as to their importance vis a vis their status as global sporting events IMO. Discuss and vote
