Ladies, Twenty20 World Stuff, let's have a natter
(Preview)
Gayle was awesome, but ended up losing. Bond is still god. And the Aussies lost. Really very funny. Well played the Zims, but why the Mc**** didn't they pick Hogg? Slow bowling is the key to Twenty20. So where's your money boys and girls?

New Indian captain?
(Preview)
Rahul Dravid has resigned as Indian captain. So who is the next pick. Do they go for a player who only plays tests like VVS Laxman, or an up and coming young player like Dhoni? Or do they they swallow their pride and re-appoint the likes of Ganguly or Tendulkar? I have a funny feeling Ganguly could get the j...

Let's see if we can come up with a definitive list. I reckon we can reach 100 at least. One at a time though, illustrative sentences optional. 'to cart' 'For in those stately days it was considered that every off-ball must be hit to the off, every straight ball driven straight, and only the ball when pitc...

Seeing as it's the club's 10th anniversary this year and we still don't have a club motto, it would be an idea to come up with one. In Latin, nimirum....

Vaughan quits as One day captain

in a move that should certainly please Paichukka - Michael Vaughan has stood down as England's One Day Captain. Paul Collingwood is favourite to get the job or Kevin Pietersen. Any thoughts? I think Collingwood would be a good choice, but whoever gets the job has to be captaining the best team there is...
