    Girls/Guys only holidays

    I have a dilemma and have returned to the oracle, the font of morality of cricketweb to express myself to see if I can find solace in the opinions of some people I've never met. Way back I've been annoyed at my male friends planning a holiday, and inviting me but not my girlfriend. I've...

    Whatever happened to Ashton Agar?

    After watching a young barely 20 something Agar slap nearly 100 coming in at number 11 for Australia last year, I was thinking I might see more of him in the future. I heard he wasn't up to scratch with the ball, but has ever such an incredible performance led to such a narrow career? Or am I...

    Why does cricket need a strong West Indies?

    I keep hearing time and time again that the West Indies decline has been such a shame and that in order for test cricket to flourish, it needs a strong West Indies team. I hear it in particular from Ian Chappell who must have faced a few decent West Indies quicks. I don't understand why cricket...

    Volunteering Overseas

    With nearly 30,000 posts I thought I might get away with a plug.. I was recently made redundant from my job and have started up a company aimed at matching potential GAP year (and older) volunteers with their dream posts and also offering them tailor made travel options in South Africa. I...

    Petrol Money

    So I take three guys to a gig last night about an hour and a half away, and am told to stay sober, drive them up and back, and I'll get petrol money out of it. Said guys are now in what can only be described as a state of disarray, and I am at home having not received a dime, and having to get...

    I want to attempt a world record

    Okay I've had this idea for a while. I want to break the world record for net batting, I hear this was done earlier this year at the Loughborough school.. Anyone who has met me knows I enjoy batting and batting, and while not gifted with bags of talent, and being bowled by one of Goughy's 13...

    In the event Cook's back gives out

    Who would/should be captain? Despite batting all day yesterday he looked very stiff between the wickets, and surely a whole day in the middle wouldn't have done him much good.

    Dravid urges kids to aspire to test cricket

    India news: Kids shouldn't "sell themselves short" with T20 - Rahul Dravid | India Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo This guy is such a hero.. Absolutely brilliant and honest player, and then he comes up with this, eloquently put piece, which manages to big up the purest form of the game without...

    Longest continuous drive

    What is your longest road trip without sleeping? I've developed a reputation for it and am now the designated driver for every occasion.. I'm trying to find out the world record, which I imagine would be much longer than my efforts. Port Elizabeth to Welkom and back (VW Golf) - 1640km Port...

    Looking for someone to design and upload a website

    I'm simply looking for a .com containing a portfolio of my pics (flash or java gallery) and some contact details for my freelance photography. I'm staggered at how hard it is to find someone who is willing to do this for me, or how difficult it is still to do it yourself.. Have spent the whole...

    Who cares about a strong West Indies?

    I recently heard a spokesperson for the ECB explain how it was important for the game that cricket is strong in the Caribbean and was shocked at how the ECB actually pledge some sort of funding to the WICB in order to pull their cricket out of the situation it finds itself in. This is connected...

    Adrian Shankar

    Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but what a bizarre story about a player faking his way to the top of the game.. Reminds me of Ali Dia County news: Exposed Shankar released by Worcestershire | Cricket News | County Cricket 2011 | ESPN Cricinfo

    Hansiegate versus Spot fixing

    Which event left you feeling more depressed for the state of the game? I was a kid when Hansie came to light (or to the dark side).. But I remember being really affected by his plane crash. Something about there not really being any closure to the whole affair because of his death.. This whole...

    Your favourite "random" team

    Chile Without the best fans we have had visit South Africa.. Of course there are nice people everywhere, but I've never seen such a massive group of people as a collective be such good ambassadors for their country.. Didn't think I would be holidaying in Santiago this summer, not to mention...
