Re: The Ashes

As someone who's fairly neutral, albeit an Australian, I'm really looking forward to this evening- I wouldn't write off Australia yet. This really has been a fantastic advertisement for test cricket. What has everyone else thought about the umpiring? I've written an article about it, basically I fee...

Re: Australia A vs Zimbabwe

The article also mentions a one day series involving India A- is that what has become of the India tour?

Re: Waller says no to Streak, Brent helps out for free

Good on Brent- that's what we need, more guys who's loyalty is to the cap rather than the dollar.

Re: Looking ahead to the India tour

I hate to say it, but how certain are we this tour will actually take place? I suppose the BCCI do owe ZC one over the whole Tim May affair, because I don't think Brendan Taylor would have been told to vote for Tim May...
