Forum by carrier pigeon. There would still be more posts than on C4.

Who will be the player to break Charlie Bannerman's monopolising the scoring record from the very first Test match innings? Amazing that this record has stood for 30 years.

Hehe, Forum Gold.

Are they really thinking of putting on a Triangular Test Series, and who the hell needs South Africa anyway? Ludicrous!

SA cricket is Boer-ing!

Heard a rumor about two Aussie selectors involved in fisticuffs - Australian cricket in crisis. Apparently Clem Hill was involved. Can't say too much more....

How many Tests ago would that clown Trumper have been ditched if he wasn't a bloody Dubber? He got brained at Trent Bridge three years ago and he's still gun-shy! Check out his numbers: if he's averaging 20 over his last 15 innings I'll eat my hat, and he's amassed a 4 and three ducks the last four times he's padded up! Surely to God he's on his last chance now, they're hiding him at no 6 for Sydney FFS!

Professionalism - the death of the great game.

Obviously not counting that 166 in his last test innings.

Barnes and Fielder have exposed his weakness to fast cutting deliveries, Barnes from outside leg, Fielder from outside off. Fielder will be England's greatest ever fast bowler and play another 30 test.

Foster's debut ton was just the beginning.
