    Question for Aussies

    I was talking to a representative of the Australian government this week and naturally the conversation came around to cricket and during the conversation the phrase "True Blue" came up. They cringed and reacted in a way that surprised me. It was explained to me that is is a negative word that...

    YouGov's Profiles of fans of different sports

    This is for the UK though I am sure there is cross over to other countries. https://yougov.co.uk/profiler#/ It highlights areas that distinguish fans of certain sports based on the reported data. Basically, these type of people are more likely to be found with these interests. It is fun to play...

    Just bought this for my 8 and 10 year old

    Basically a ball on a stick. I cant imagine why everyone doesnt have one - perhaps they do and it has just passed me by until now. Anyway, no more balls on disk cones for drives. Can easily replicate any shot. Will report back if it is worth it...

    Why not Test cricket in Gibraltar?

    We all know it gets cold in England in the winter and dark very early. Wouldnt it be great if England could squeeze in an extra Test without condensing the FC calander and tap into the revenue from the English supporters to travel the globe to watch England play? Why not play an annual Test in...

    Big debate - Space or comma in large numbers

    My kids are going to an international school for the first time - US curriculum rather than UK. There are bloody commas everywhere. I work with a lot of Americans and they defend the comma vociferously. Anything else to them is wrong. I dont like it at all. It looks messy and dated and...

    Article Suggestion

    Bleacher Report is normally **** but this is one of the better things I have read there. Dreams to Dust: Life After Football for the Future Stars Who Never Quite Made It | Bleacher Report Could CW do a cricket one? If so, I would love to read. Anyone know where Giles Haywood is?

    Interested in your opinion on a choice I need to make

    I used to be a tidy cricketer. I still believe I am but have not played a serious game in 3 years since..well some of you know what happened to my face. Anyway, I have been in Trinidad 6 weeks or so and have been doing the usual rounds of getting to know people. I want to play decent cricket...

    10 Years On

    I thought I'd have a look at what appeared to be the busiest thread on CW 10 years ago. Surprising at the number of guys still around today and a very sad reminder of what tragically happened to Craig. http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/9907-cricket-s-nicest-guys.html

    The Paedophile Hunter

    The Paedophile Hunter - 4oD - Channel 4 "Using online profiles of fake underage children, we attempted to lure predators out from behind their online personas and into carefully constructed, and filmed real life meetings with me. In these stings, I confronted these men - and the world - with...

    Ten Cricket

    Where I currently live I can get Ten Cricket as an add on channel - I forget exactly how much it is but it isn't that expensive. The question is, is the channel any good? Flicking through the guide it seems like a lot of 'old' cricket - which would be great if that meant Tests from the 50s and...

    Pick 'em

    For each pair pick one from either column A or B to make, in your opinion, the best Test XI. Once selected you can rearrange the batting order. Apologies for formatting errors, spelling mistakes, ill balanced lists and lack of imagination as I am on my phone and in the pub. Column A...

    CW Meet Up - Barbados May 1-5 2015

    I am in Trinidad for the next few years but unfortunately England do no play here during there next tour of the West Indies in early 2015. Barbados is less than a 1 hour flight away and I am thinking of going - especially as it is a very popular location for English cricket fans to tour. Is...

    Curt Clawson - One of the most awkward exchanges you will ever see

    Pakistan in UAE, Where Would Your Back-Up Be?

    If your country was forced to play Tests in a non-Test playing country, where would be the most logical choice? I suppose for England it would have to be Ireland. Close proximity, easy to travel to, same time zone etc.

    Your Nation As... England as the WWE

    Possibly the worst thread I have started. Take a suspect idea while bored but not bored enough to do it justice or well. :dry: Any way. England as the WWE. Alistair Cook Not the best in the world but very close and is trying to get back to where he was a year ago. The most consistent and...

    Quick Question For Indians

    Hi, I have the possibility of a job in Chennai. I don't really want to talk about the job but more about Chennai. Can anyone offer insight into life in the city? My priorities are family, sport and beer. I'll hopefully be looking for a good school, good domestic help, somewhere to play cricket...

    The Other Leg Theory

    It has been a long time since I have taken my umpires exam but I can't see why, under the laws of the game, this has not been tried before - at least in desperation. Why not a right arm quick go round the wicket, pack the leg side field and bowl full tosses on middle and leg to the right handed...

    If Australia win the first Test...

    Will they win the series? England are favorites, Aus won the first Test in 2005 and we all know what then happened but a win could settle an awkward looking Australian squad and set them up for the rest of the series.
