Hayden is a facking monster I tell u, the guy just ate into Sa's bowling attack. I like the guy I remember when he was in Amsterdam with the Australia team when there was a triangular here with Pakistan and India also involved, I had a talk with him and he is a real down to earth guy with who u can easily hold a conversation. We talked about everything from cricket to girls, he also told me about how he loves to play express bowlers like Shoaib as they are a big challenge for any batsmen to face and that Pakistan in talent are probably the best team around.

I really do think the final will be Aus vs Saf I doubt that any other team will knock one of them out maybe Sri Lanka and Nz can be seen as the outsiders.

no mentioning of cooking u would never expect a big guy like him to have a soft side but nice to hear apparently his wife has picked out the perfect guy lol.

what he did mention tough was how he would love to try some Weed in Amsterdam but if he did and his family would get to know he would never ever set foot on a cricket pitch again. I told him I can get u whatever u want from Pakistani to Moroccan for a reasonable price with high class quality guarenteed and he started laughing and pointed to the policemen who were standing close to us.

The guy has class and is funny as well too bad that he has not got as much fame as Gilchrist has. So whenever he scores runs and Gilchrist does not I get happy for the guy just like against SAF. He is one of the few likeable players on ur team.

It's needed the way things are looking it's going to be needed. You don't times like Ierland and Bangladesh taking points from the top sides throught the weather.

Hal, you are free to take your shots, lets just say I am gonna have a ball here, when you guys get kicked out of the WC :D (eventhough you have probably made it to the semis).
S.Africa rode their luck today, heading to a comfortable victory and almost made a meal out of it. Malinga becomes first bowler to pick 4 wickets in 4 balls. His action does seem a little suspicious though, I am surprised ICC havent looked at it.
Kudos to Kallis. What a great player. Always calm, and always out there. Srilankans bowled really well, they just didnt have enough runs to play with.

A win is a win. Still should have won easily. Kallis really should have seen us home and not left it to the tailenders. And Malinga doesn't chuck his arm stays straight it just comes from a different angle.

I saw him bowling a couple of years back when he came into the limelight, he has a suspect action, I have always hated the Sri Lankans because they will whine and not even think of correcting the actions of some of their bowlers.

Malinga and Murali's sucesses to my eyes would always be tainted. Its a shame because young players will try and imitate actions of these players and we will see more and more of doubtful actions the the farce called ICC will do nothing about.

The 15 degree rule is only possible if the umpires eyes and mind were technologically advanced:rolleyes: Murali can bowl 5-10 deliveries within the 15 degree range in some tests in Australia and then he has the licence to chuck his way to records.:rolleyes:

Take a look at this from Cricinfo's quote-unquote::lol:

"Throw, throw, throw the ball, gently down the seam
Murali, Murali, Murali, Murali, chucks it like a dream
Bowl, bowl, bowl the ball, gently through the air
Murali, Murali, Murali, Murali, here comes Darrell Hair ... No Ball!"
The Barmy Army serenade Muttiah Muralitharan to the tune of Row Row Row The Boat, Gently Down The Stream

Grow up about Murli already, he is the best spinner in the world, he has taken spinning to a whole new level. He has been cleared ten times, but I still see people crying about his action.

Warnie is the best spinner in the world, even if he bowls with his backside facing the batsman, not Murali.

Read my post, shahz, Murali bowls them right at some tests in Australia and he's then free, theres no way to measure his action in real games. I bet if he was under the scanner in these games he would get caught real soon.

I'm not a big fan of poor actions. I dont even like Harbhajan Singh bowling for us, but its sad.:( Same about Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul

If you people have bent or broken arms or whatever, play cricket with the handicapped teams. :stuckup:

Too bad Warnie is a drug cheat.;) And he was caught. And was involved with some bookmaker.

Murali has been cleared about a 100 times now.

Murali has the better record and his record vs india speaks volumes compared to Shane's.

These bowlers have been cleared they have legal actiosn. Just accept the rules.

On the world cup anybody else disappointed with the crowds?? This is the dam world cup and they aren't even filling the grounds. There have about the same attendances that SA domestic cricket has and thats poor. This is suppose to market cricket to a global audience. I have never seen such poor growds at a world cup. Not at previous cricket world cups and not at football or rugby. It's pathetic.

Too bad that Murali chucks everyday and doesnt get caught. Atleast Warnie didnt take unfair advantage, he sat at home for a year.;)

The rules are made by the ICC who are perhaps the worst sports organisation in the world. You expect me to agree to their rules?:rolleyes:

Guess this is one topic I can never agree on with anyone Stef, btw, South Africans are all clear.;)

Nope Johan Botha had to correct his action. His action was 22 degrees and not the 15 degrees.

you know in those tests, players are asked to bowl how they would normally bowl, at full speed. Its not just possible to change their action for those tests, and then come back to international cricket, and starting using the other action again. You dont have any prove to say Murli chucks, in 1 out of 20 balls, he bowls. I can say the same for Zaheer khan. I know it was because of Murli that you guys got kicked out of the WC, but you should admire players who play good cricket rather than hating them.

And shame on you, for even mentioning Shoaib in that list. Shoaib has one of the cleanest actions out there. he has just given the test once, and was cleared. When he burst on to the scene, Aussie's and the English were pretty afraid of him, he was thought of being the next best thing to Holding. And therefore to ruin his career they tried to label him as a chucker. Too bad had they waited a couple of years, they would have realised that this guy was an ego-maniac, whose career was never going to go anywhere anyways.

And the funny thing about Murli is, when ever he starts peroforming and is on fire, people start whining about him being cheat. When him and Warne were fighting it out to be the highest wicket takers in test cricket, all of a sudden he was ordered to take the tests, and forbidden too bowl doosra. I know a lot of people will still start moaning about Murli if Srilanka wins this WC, and just for the sake of seeing them cry, I wont mind seeing SriLanka win the WC.
