Annual cricket quiz on BBC website. Managed to get 9/12.

Pity about the Pakistan series, but at least we got the last word and India to look forward to.

But seriously tho, it was a good series, and England did come up against a well disciplined Pakistani side. Its a shame we didnt see mor eof Vaughn in the series as I feel England missed his captaincy badly. Threcothic is nott as dynamic and it would have been good to see how Pakistan would have coped with unorthodox field positions, constant field changes, unsettling behavious (biut all very sporting) as employed in the ashes

Honours for Ashes and 2012 heroes.

England's Ashes-winning cricketers and the team behind London's 2012 Olympic bid lead the sporting New Year Honours.
Cricket captain Michael Vaughan and coach Duncan Fletcher are made OBEs, as are chairman of selectors David Graveney and tour manager Phil Neale. England's women's captain Clare Connor is also appointed an OBE, while the rest of the men's team become MBEs.

No surprise there then

don't get me wrong, i'm not panesar's biggest fan(which is a difficult status to achieve anyway), but i don't get how he can get axed from the team for "not being able to bat and field" as long as matthew hoggard is still in the lineup

You can carry one player, who can't bat/ field well quite easily, two is tricky though, in going for Hoggard, I suppose they chose the one which brings the most to the team.

Legendary_PSR · 19-08-2006, 15:59

i see ur point but, to be fair, take away the new ball and what exactly does hoggard bring to the team?

Legendary_PSR · 20-08-2006, 18:00

well, congratulations go to the umpire who ruined the reputation of an entire cricketing nation to prove the point that he is a complete and utter moron.

when, in reality, his umpiring proved that anyway. i hope they ban him

yes, i've been in a critical mood all week. it does pass

Has anyone made allegations about the ball tampering accusation, I can't find any definite news about it anywhere.

All I have heard is that the England team came back out to play, Pakistan didn't (under protest) and thats it

I've only read the BBC website report & there seems to still be doubt as to whether Pakistan were assumed to have conceded the game by the 'no show' after tea. The ball was alleged by the umpires to have been deliberately scuffed

- the most annoying thing to me, is the seeming disregard for the thousands of paying customers in the crowd ....
