    As usual it's left to the Victorians to save us from major embarrassment.

    Hope warney goes well... loving the 'warney, warney'

    The Macgilla gorilla bowled well last night...

    Loved the macgila gorilla... Hard to believe that even during Warneys domination he took 204 test wickets...

    no tactic, slog and hope isn't it... give me a test match any day
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    This is the worst friken form of the game, there is absolutely nothing in it for the bowler.
    Are people that short of an attention span nowadays.
    I reckon, it goes to music as well, bloody shuffle random playlists on mp3 players instead of sitting down to an album.

    well it's definitely not good for cricket if you think about all the players who play it and not the longer forms of the game... and they've thrown so much money into it it's obviously hard for them to resist. But it does mean that so many people go to the test matches and then whinge about the lack of excitement. As old as it might make me seem I don't think a lot of "kids these days" get cricket at all... but you know it all started when people felt the need to get so excited about the speed at which people like Gilly made test hundreds and when teams started wanting batsman/keepers instead of keeper/batsmen... look at the hard time Mark Boucher has been getting and when we were playing over there recently he was keeping better than ever. Which is his job
