Fish the murderer
(Preview)
I had a disturbing dream last night in which the Fish tried to murder me - first by poisoning my drink, then by hiring an assassin, who I think was a farmer, to blow my head off with a shotgun. I escaped both attempts.
Has anyone else been the subject of a Fish murder plot - dreamt or real?

Cricket superstitions or strange habits.
(Preview)
Many of us have strange little things that we like to do while playing cricket or odd little superstitions. Myself, I never like to face the first ball of an innings (not that I get the chance very often.) I am also terrified of a wide in the last over before a break as I have counted how many balls I need to su...

England, the WAGs, the Perth Test and the pompous w*nker
(Preview)
I saw this on another board and thought I'd post it here. It's a letter sent to The Times regarding the Perth Test. What do you lot think? Dear Mr Barnes As an ardent cricket fan of the non "Barmy Army" variety , I hope you will forgive me for writing you on the subject of my experiences of being in the same...

So what do you think of 20/20 cricket then?
(Preview)
Is it a bit of harmless entertainment or is it a load of ****? Personally, having just watched some of the England v Australia international, I found it all a bit uninvolving. It places value on slogging and brutal stokemaking, which left wanting to watch a classic battle between a class bowler and a gr...

Most underrated international cricketer?
(Preview)
For me. I would have to say from the current crop of players - Justin Langer. He's scored 24 test centuries, yet is always just about for the chop if he fails in one test. One of the most reliable openers ever and he scores faster than so-called "dashers" like Michael Slater.
From the past I'd say Rodn...

They think it's all over... It is now. The Ashes 2006/7
(Preview)
The Ashes are over for now. 5 nil, for only the 2nd time in history. A fair result? Moan, make excuses, defend your favourite players. Praise the best. Do it all here. I think that England are actually a bit unlucky to lose by such a margin, as there have been several worse England touring teams that have o...

The outrageous 2007 boast thread
(Preview)
Here's you chance to get in writing the feats that you are convinced you are going to achieve during 2007. I'll start with that old chestnut. "I'm gonna score a fifty this year." (probably against Munich CC) or "We're gonna win the Austrian League this year." -- Edited by El Presidente at 18:51, 2006-1...

Buchanan asks England for contest
(closed)
(Preview)
John Buchanan, the current Australian coach has just come out with this statement. He is asking England to "bring their best game to Sydney."
He also "questioned Kevin Pieterson's commitment to the England team."
Personally, I think this is a classic case of "numpty-itis" and I predict KP...

England's One Day squad
(Preview)
Harmison has retired. Vaughan is back. Monty has been included (good move that) Tremlett returns from the outer and a 36 year old keeper called Paul Nixon is included. (Anyone know if he can bat?) - Cricinfo has descibed him as being perhaps the world's best exponent of the reverse sweep! Who would you...

So, which is it to be, you Slovenian Cricketers? Do the Poms outnumber the Aussies? Is Slovenia generally celebrating or mourning the Ashes verdict?
As a Slovenian Brit in New York with far too many Aussie chums, I know where I stand. In the middle. One foot either side of...

Who would your England XI be for the Boxing day test?
(closed)
(Preview)
Australia have named an unchanged 12 for the next test. England have been criticised for their selections. Who would you pick? Personally I'd pick Plunkett over Mahmood if they are that desperate for a number 8 batsman and if Chris Reed doesn't play then it's a travesty.
Any thoughts? ...
