Some of you cricket lovers must play the game as well. Tell us who you play for, who know's our paths might have crossed on the grassy battlefields around our country. In Melbourne I play for St. Andrew's Gardiner and in Sydney, where I am now, I play for West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook.

Who do you think is the best coach this year and the year before?

John Buchanan (Aus)
Greg Chappell (Ind)
Duncan Fletcher (Eng)
Tom Moody (Srl)
Dav Whatmore (Ban)
Bob Woolmer (Pak)
John Bracewell (NZ)
Bennett King (WI)
Mickey Arthur (SA)

I would have to say Dav whatmore - beat Australia in an ODI and nearly beat Australia in a test.

nah, moody. apart from the ct, the lankans have done very well this year. he's building a good strong team and isn't afraid of giving new guys, tharanga, kapugedera, silva a shot at the team. they look tottally transformed with jayawardene as captain oo.

 

[timlay]

hmm.. i miss jayasuriya. he's awesome i reckon.
i think the bangladeshis are doing pretty well..

well ..better than before.

 

[Kujah]

Warne

 

[timlay]

just wondering, is Lara RETIRED! :O

 

[volta]

Timlay I heard that he might be retiring from ODIs like Harmison.

I think the best coach of recent times would probably be Dav Whatmore. My claim to fame is that I know his daughter.

 

[is2SWaNz]

Langer to retire!!!

Well rumours has it... his last match is the 5th test at sydney.

 

[timlay]

rumours confirmed. hah.

 

[Chris.]

is cricket Australia facing a huge downturn with 4 greats gone?

 

[BlackDragon]

no. i couldn't be bothered elaborating much though. its just going to be a different type of cricket - once we start winning again it will become just as if not even more popular. but it is the end of an era - very sad.

 

[Kujah]

Great game Very sad that Warne, McGrath, Langer and Buchanan have retired But Boo Yeah, 5-0 whitewash!

 

[vizman]

5-0 YEHYEH

 

[timlay]

poms are like.. "meh" and pretend to be apathetic.

haha. or that was what my pom friend was like on msn.

"WHATEVERRRR" and went on to try and change topics....

 

[runtlocks]

Classic Jayasuriya today (or was it a replay?????), anyone watch it? NZ humiliated.

 

[Kujah]

Vaas was great NZ got bundled out for like 70- something. Rubbish performance

 

[Kujah]

Australia win by 77 runs . Love Gilchrist, he's extraordinary

Jerusalum
And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon those clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Amongst those dark satanic mills.

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear o-clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

I shall not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land​
