    International Cricket Captain General Thread of Miscellany

    We were as high as 4th in the test championship but generally hovered around 6-7 until Jakachira and his generation of players retired (had 3 guys averaging 40+ around him and a couple of useful bowlers). Now gone down to 11th in 2046. Had 2-3 guys listed as allrounders who were really batsmen...

    International Cricket Captain General Thread of Miscellany

    Yes it was the first tour I had as Zim captain. Lost the first two by an innings and gave them a decent game in the third with some chances to win. I have plucked a young batsman out of 2nd XI cricket who has just peeled off 3 tons in 3 tests against the Windies - two in a losing cause - this...

    Zimbabwe thread

    May as well. While we can rule out any possibility of a positive result we can hope that there might be one or two good performances. At least beat the Associates. I have tickets to two Zim games, v SA in Hamilton and v India in Auckland. All I want from those games is someone to put their...

    Sarah Taylor to (possibly) play County 2nd XI cricket

    Apologies if this is already being discussed elsewhere. Sarah Taylor, the England women's wicketkeeper and probably the best female cricketer in the world (that is debatable), may play for Sussex 2nd XI next year. News Article Interview with Taylor Mike Selvey analyses the challenge she will...

    ****Official Hockey Discussion Thread****

    Difficult to see Australia losing the men's, but they can be beaten. I hope the Black Sticks get a medal in either comp, and I think Belgium men could surprise - they are a handy side with some talented players who are easy to underestimate. It is hard for Great Britain because they only come...

    Tour de France

    A moment of sadness yesterday. I was watching Froome and Wiggins at the front of the Stage 6 climb and thought, "I must go on CW and see what Craig thinks about them". RIP. Says a lot there is no Tour de France thread on the board yet. If Wiggins wins, and it's a big if, it would be one of...

    Why have West Indian pitches slowed down?

    Commentators at the test yesterday were talking about how the Caribbean wickets have slowed down in the last decade or more. Heard that before, but I don't remember anyone explaining why. It seems pretty indisputable it has happened, but I don't recall us even having a discussion on here about...

    Yardy flies home with depression

    Adam Mountford, TMS producer, has just put it up on twitter. If true, it doesn't surprise me. The length of the tournament coupled with the amount of international cricket played is going to hurt some player's mental health. That was my first thought. And if you've got some issues already, the...

    What should I ask Brad Hodge, David Warner or Northern Districts?

    Very good chance I will be interviewing Hodge, Warner or the other ND guys tomorrow. I can't guarantee I will ask them all your suggestions but are there any things you think I should ask?

    How Many Centuries Will Phil Hughes Score?

    Very surprised if it is less than three, personally. I think Swann will be the key man England will look to trouble him with, but how many will he get before making a mistake? Ominous. Like a huge shadow looming across everything England do at the moment.

    Captaincy

    A couple of hours ago, I was appointed captain of my club's second team for next season. We play in D Division East IIs of the Devon Cricket League. I am the only player in the side between 20 and 30. We will likely be fielding a lot of enthusiastic younger players and a few oldies. Last year...

    Olympic Sports you don't like

    We've had a thread about sports you love watching during the olympics, are there any sports at the Olympics that you really dislike and think shouldn't be on the schedule? Personally, I can't stand the Modern Pentathlon. There is a simple reason why. In the equestrian round the competitors are...

    Canoeist Wins Togo's First Medal

    Nice scenes at the canoeing as Benjamin Boukpeti takes the bronze for the small African country of Togo, his country's first olympic medal. He was born and took up canoeing in France, but both his parents were from Togo and he choose to represent them. He was actually in the lead going into the...

    We are being watched by The Independent

    This is no joke... I don't know if anyone else gets this British daily newspaper, but they have a small section on page 73 of today's copy that quotes WP David on England's batsmen and BoyBrumby on Peter Moores' similarity to Steve McLaren. They include this forum's web address. It is clear the...

    Ray Price returns for Zimbabwe

    Ray Price Makes International Comeback I'm so happy for Ray that he gets another chance to show everyone what he can do. He has obviously thought long and hard about his decision and he is going to be a big improvement for the side. Can't wait to see him in action again, as to be honest he is...
