Re: Player payments - Can ICC pay directly?

Exactly my point, what they are putting at risk here compared to the pissy amount of money involved. $1.6 million a year – you’re talking about the payroll of a small car dealership/garage or medium size restaurant perhaps 10 countries play test cricket in the world. How would it at any stage be in ...

Player payments - Can ICC pay directly?

Am I oversimplifying things? How hard would it be for the ICC to bypass cricket administrations and be paying international players directly in order that they stay in the game. This is regarding developing countries or others that are in crises like Zimbabwe. It shocked me as to how much the ICC ma...

Re: With one match left, what can we take out of this tour?

Yeah, the tour has been poor, when considering results and competitiveness. There is still plenty to salvage with some positive individual efforts. These guys have the toughest job in world cricket - a test playing nation that hasn't played test cricket for over twelve months? Guys playing under hug...

Re: Selection Issues for First Test

Regis looked very assured during that spanking we got against the black caps a year ago aswell remember! So i'd persist a little bit longer I thought in that match he looked a very polished, confident batsmen, the fact that he was able to hold in the second innings in NZ showed he had character. Ot...

Re: Selection Issues for First Test

however my main concern is that Barbados is the one pitch in the West Indies which still has some pace and bounce in it I agree. A pity we don't have the Chigumbura version circa 2010/11 around. Would have been perfect for the 3rd seamer. Tatenda is a huge loss too - we were a much better side with...

Selection Issues for First Test

I have a fear that the selectors won't go in to the First Test in Bridgetown selecting both Cremer and Price. I hope that they don't hold opinions that others have leap-frogged them or only one spinner should be taken in. I believe they should be the first two picked. They may have to bowl a lot of ...

Re: Streak mentions Ed, Mutombodzi for WI; talks about Querl

For what its worth, from 'instinct' there would have to be doubts over the delivery he bowled at 4:28, although on second look it is sus but not so bad. The other delivery at 4:37 looks fine. However as mentioned earlier, it is difficult to know unless proper testing is done The thing is that again ...

Re: Streak mentions Ed, Mutombodzi for WI; talks about Querl

This doesn't make sense to me: “He has to undergo tests, but unfortunately there is no one qualified for that in Zim. It’s not a simple thing. You need to go to a sports science institution and gets analysed. It a decision that affects a career, so you got to do it properly.” The University of WA in...

Re: Black XI v White XI - who would win?

I look forward to the day when an idea like this could be offered as a charity match.
I think it would just be another cricket match of one friend bowling against another as teammates are, regardless of skin colour.
Only wishful thinking.
