Internationally, or by his own people?

David Lloyd fairly well launched at him after the knick incident.
Something along the lines of "he's a cheat just like his old man."

I've never had much time for Broad, I see him as a bit of a downhill skier.

Was surprised stokes was not in their team. Is he injured or did they just pick Jordan ahead of him?

Broad or bell would be the only ones left that could possibly captain

So the guy who was sacked from the BCCI board and faces corruption charges has just become the new ICC Chairman. What a joke!

Sounds pretty standard given BCCI seem to run cricket these days

Cried like a bitch when he was given the man of the series award.

Love it!

It seems that cautious Cook was at it again. Giving Angelo Matthews the singles to keep Herath on strike. Meanwhile Matthews scores runs and eventually so does Herath as he gains confidence. Then both batsmen are scoring runs. Sounds familiar.

In the first Test Cook batted too long and they missed out by one wicket and copped a draw.

Good Captaincy, England 2-0. Captain Cook, Sri Lanka 1-0. They need to discover another one.

Your probably right about his captaincy but I would think in modern cricket Cook's voice in deciding the exact point of declaring would be very limited.

I reckon the head coach, bowling coach and some stupid sport scientist would be influencing the deciscion based on when the bowlers will be ready.

Reading Clarkes diary he makes comment that alot of them deciscions now are a 'coaching team' deciscion rather than captains choice

Captain would have the casting vote for any decision made....

Declarations pre planned, night watchmen pre determined

If the captain was any good he would have ultimate authority over all of these blokes, after accepting their input. All part of being a good leader

Watch the ROW v MCC game on Fox, wasnt a bad game. Great to see some old champs running around. Brett Lee broke Warnie's hand with an accidental bean ball which was a pity because we didnt get to see Warnie bowl. Finch went to town and made 181no

Led still carrying on like a d**k head then

Nah pure accident, trying for a yorker and ended up a waist high fully. Warne didnt get his hands out the way. He kept batting not realising how bad it was.

Watched a bit of the game and it was a bit of a fuzzier. Gilly and Sewag got things off nicely until Sewag got knocked over. Then Saed Ajmal cleaned up the ROW middle order and Sachin had to bring on finch to set up the run chase. So Mickey Mouse.

Then we didn't get to watch Warney bowl and Sachin and Lara showed only glimpses of their greatness. Tuned in to watch the greats and got the Paul Collingwood show LOL.

Former England captain Andrew Strauss was "mortified" and "profusely sorry" after initiating a fresh row regarding Kevin Pietersen by making highly offensive comments about his old Test colleague while broadcasting, he said on Saturday.
Sky Sports commentator Strauss, believing he was off the air in a break in play during the Lord's bicentenary match between MCC and the Rest of the World, reportedly described Pietersen as a c--- to fellow commentator Nick Knight.

Poor Dravid getting a gozza. He was a wall in his test career and probably only got bowled a few times... plays in a micky mouse game and one sneaks through first up

I think its a great idea to see the legends of yester year Lara, Tendulker, Dravid, Gilchrist, Warne, Lee, Sewag etc all play in the same game. Makes you realise you wont see them again and how good they actually were. Some of the records they have set wont be touched for a long time if ever

Keen for the England/India series especially with the pressure on Cook mounting heavily.

How will he respond and how will this mediocre England side perform.

Mighy want to call them the english/others team. Currently they are 1/43 overnight with Ballance (Zimbabwe) and Robson (Aust - played u/19 for aust) at the crease. Im not kidding about Robson, born in nsw and his old man still works down at the SCG. His mother moved to England and there you go.

Meh I got no issues with people moving country. Especially when someone had ties to both. Worse when they just poach Ireland guys.

Good luck to robson hope he has a great career except for when he plays the Aussies

Mitchell Marsh made 211 & Sam Whiteman 174 for Australia A in the four-day game against India A in Brisbane.

I kept in touch with this game and watched all the highlights of each days play and aswell as Marsh and Whiteman's innings. They came together when Aus A were in a difficult position and battered wonderfully, their stroke play was brilliant to watch. Good to see from the young fellas.
