I always liked cricket maybe it was Freuchie winning the village cup that did it  I watch a ton of it and i have a great memory for random facts and stuff although if somebody called for you and i was to tell you i'd forget. Sandy |

Not really.
The cricket commentary doesn't offend me so i'm relatively neutral and don't have the passion i do when the footballers fail to live up to the hype. (rugby is getting there !)
Grew up watching Botham, Richards etc and it's just great to watch. The only stuff i hate to watch is Aussies v Bangladesh/Zimbabwe as it's more a demonstration than a contest.

Time to ask Australia if they wouldn't mind letting us play 11 batsmen and 5 bowlers  |

England are so bad at one day cricket.
They have the wrong mindset from the selectors down.
Ian bell has a decent one day record and doesn't tend to get bogged down too much. Paul Collingwood is too slow now and shouldn't be playing as his form is poor.
For me todays team should be (injuries i might have missed but some not KP)
Strauss
Key
Bell
Morgan
Prior
Wright
Mascarenhas
Broad
Rashid
Swann
Anderson
Positive players mostly and plenty bowling options.

Can't understand why they leave Rashid out,he did ok at the oval.
Hope for his sake they don't end up taking him to SA and then not play him.
Time to invest in him imo

Typical England though. They only give them a chance if they are hopeless.
Do you think Tendulkar would have played International cricket at 16 if he was English ? 24 if he was lucky.

Was refusing to allow an obviouly injured batsman (Smith) a runner acceptable or ungentlemanly?

I'm undecided
he wasn't injured, he had cramp. it's a bit of a grey area but imo getting a runner for what is essentially fatigue is a bit odd
was it unsporting? possibly considering runners have certainly been allowed for the same before

Probably both. It was cramp. Got cramp from batting for too long, avoid cramp by getting yourself out. Strauss called back that Sri Lankan fella last game when he probably would have been run out even if he hadn't run into Onions. I think we've played our fair play card for the tournament. |
