| Fixed Matches - A List |
It came to mind just now that it could be very interesting to gather up a list of top-flight matches through cricket history under which legitimate doubt was or has been cast. A small number...

| The debacle of the World Cup Ending |
I wonder if Darryl Hair may have had a better grasp of the rules than the five officials involved? Or Simon Taufel? Interesting comment from Crash Craddock about Bowden yesterday- nee...

| Looking Ahead |
For the upcoming season CA has scheduled 2 tests against SL and 4 against India. This seems to be a cricketing and marketing mistake. There is no way any of the tests against India will go a...

| Where is Huggies? |
As true cricket lover I would have expected him to be one of the first to congratulate the Australian team on winning the CWC just as he was when Australia regained the Ashes ( oh that's r...
|
| Congrats Ozzers |
Too daym good!
|
| Buchanan |
Lots of talk of McGrath going (and fair enough) but Buchanan is also off as a winner. He coped no end of flak for preparing the team for the WC at the expense of the NZ ODO tour and the 3-...

| Cricket Forums |
Hi all, I just wanted to let everybody know that I have started a new cricket forum and would love it if you would come and check it out. We don't have many members yet and are trying to g...

| The match referee and umpires are sorry (happy now?) |
.... for inviting Sri Lankans to bat those three overs. But, the captains made a good decision to play it out, rather than arguing. http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/re...
|
| Australia win the World cup twice |
Do we get two trophy's for winning it a second time in 10 minutes? What a joke the final has turned out to be!
|
| How long to we have to wait before Aus is declared the winner? eom |
|
| Well done the Aussies |
Better team on the day and the best team in the tournament won but what an awful way for the game to finish
|
| Sri Lankans need to match Gilly |
Need 149 runs in 99 balls. That was what Gilly did by himself. Hard, but.... Then, rain also threatens..... Vicky:
|
| Why do people 'hate' Aussie team |
Look at what Ponting did. After playing a ball, he ran along the middle of the pitch, about 8 or so paces. Steve Bucknor gets mad at Ponting and gave awarning. Then, Clarke...
|
| Not Gilly, his gloves, stupid. |
Reaching the triple figures, Gilchrist raised his gloves and pointed someone. He seems to have acknowledged the contribution of that person who must have modified the palm of the gloves.
|
| Gillie |
Well, when he's hot he's hot, no one can come near him, not Ponting or Hayden or Symonds or Hussey or <insert any other ODI batsmen here>. Good to see him shine like no other ca...
|
| Will put a big show for everyone |
Is that what Ponting said? Are they playing in a final to win or are they there to put a big show? Vicky:
|
| Weather @ Barbados and winning the toss... |
I read somewhere (The Age?) that showers could interrupt the World Cup final at Barbados. Actually occasional rain was the forecast for Friday and Saturday, it seems. But, no other sources...
|
| So, Who Will Win Tonight? |
I will go for Australia naturally. I think they have more versatility and don't rely so heavily on a few players.

| Perth and WA website seeks cricket clubs, groups and contributors |
Hi all I'm involved in a new West Australian website called Loconut http://www.loconut.com.au Our focus is on local news, stories, people, clubs, groups and interests....
|
| Mahela guilty? |
Talking about showing up late for the photographs here. I do not think Mahela or the team management would have done this intentionally. I would give him the benefit of the doubt.

| OT Sheep Poodles and the Japanese ( on topic for NZers as sheep are involved ) |
I just find this very funny http://www.smh.com.au/news/unusual-tales/baaking-mad-japan-scam/2007/04/27/1177459927942.html Japanese sold sheep instead of poodles April 27, 20...
|
| Predictions For Tonight? |
Again, few seem game to guess, so I will stick my neck out a little and say Australia- without being pressured too much. Some tight spots maybe, but overall too much versatility. <...

| And the award for class after a loss |
Must go to Stephen Fleming for his interview after the loss to S.L. It is a shame he is stepping down an NZ one day captain.
|
| And, the winner is....... |
.... Simon Taufel. ICC Elite Panel umpire, Simon Taufel win the White Cane Awrad for his performance in the first semi-final played in Jamaica between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. ...

| Getting to the finals from the semi finals ... |
Ok so you have four teams ranked 1 to 4 after the group stages and all that, and at this stage when there's just 4 teams left there aren't too many options in regards to the format, but is...

After watching this . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDqn043XhQ8 It is still hard to accept that we're never gonna see this bloke bowl again for Australia and he's still got ...
