Cricket - General Discussion

Not very popular in the Western Hemisphere, except for the Caribbean cricket is a long drawn out game that they say only gentlemen play. Who is your favorite?

Discussion General Cricket

Cricket is huge here in Australia, we play in the international competition with Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan, India, England, New Zealand and a few others. The Australians actually won the world cup this year. I use to play indoor cricket, that is a lot faster than the normal comp, especially the test matches. My favourite player is obviously an Australian, (although some of the other countries have players I admire) he is actually about to retire. He is the current Australian test captain Steve Waugh. He is one of the best batsmen and captains of all time.

Shane Warn

What do you think about Shane Warn's return? Is he 'the Best' as the news is currently saying. Do you think he will be the big star of cricket once again or will he just be another player in a host of professionals?

Brian Lara, a Trinidadian batsman, broke the world record today for the second time by scoring 400 runs against England, the same team he scored his first record against and it just so happens... at the same stadium!

I think he shouldn't be allowed to return. Thousands of young cricket fans used to look up to him. Then he tested positive to performance enhancing drugs. What was worse was the excuses he gave as to how this happened. He was banned from playing cricket but was still able to collect his paycheques. I think he got off a little too easy.
As far as him being the best, only time will tell?

If you follow cricket and enjoy its statistics you will enjoy this article.

Cricket General Discussion

I was recently surprised to hear of the cricket competitions in the USA, even Argentina was there (but they lost terribly). Cricket seems to be penetrating other non-cricket countries slowly.

I read somewhere yesterday that the US was shunned from hosting some of the World Cup 2007 matches. However, the fact that they were even considered for a bid does show that the game is reaching to non-traditional cricket countries such as the US.
