Do you think there should be stricter laws against sledging in cricket, or do you think its alright for players to sledge?

No, becuse if there is not stricter laws i think australians are alwaya make fighting on field against every team because they are very bad sledgers which shown against south africans and many in last test series against australia.

I am sorry I don't agree with the argument that Mr Chapell is responsible for the Indian teams dismal performance in the last 1 year. It is purely depends on the individual player's performance. They have not practised enough for the SA tour.They are very reluctuant to learn from their mistakes, and new skills. I think generally our players are not mentally strong They never have had shown their prowess or guts in the important matches. They never want to practise on the simulated fast tracks or cemented pitches or bowling machines etc. On the whole they never had a professional attitude towards the sport, not good students of the game. They always want to touch the peak in the sport in short time and wants publicity, money, glamour etc in their lives. They lack commitment to correct their flaws in the technique. What a coach who sit out in the pavillion can do? when players have to perform on the field. He can only guide them. Finally it is up to the players to take the tips and perform on their own in the field. The situation doesn't change even if the coach is changed. Even God virtually becomes the coach of our team the things will not change without the active participation of the players themselves. Anyway this is my opinion which is coming out of frustration after yesterday's annihilation in the hands fo SA.

This is a tough one.  I'm English and very proud of it.  I don't like the idea of hooligans though.  However if someone starts giving me grief, there is no way I will back down.  I guess this is the same for a group of lads who are supporting football.  If you look back in the history of English football there has always been hooligans.  However I believe that the action should be kept on the pitch.  Look at rugby fans, the game is violent and the fans get on great with each other.

Is there any use of storing used items?? Is it worth to invest money in maintaining some useless items? \nIf they start storing all the balls, bats, stumps of every match then think what will happen?? \n\nThen the player's shirt, pant, underwears etc all should be preserved. This is not possible so they dump all these as waste. \nSo no cenral body is there to maintian it for rememberence. \n\nOnly some player steal these balls or stumps after they play some memorable innings.

Yes, Yes. \n1. As it seems to  become arranged.\n2. It is not most popular Game in the World. Only then called British colony playing Cricket.\n3. It's rules and set-up arranged to facilitate the Empire, where only two players play i.e. one baller and one batsman. To collect the ball, require 10 man (Like servants of Empire). 10 players sitting in the rest room, wastage of manpower and resources.\n4. One Game taking 1 to 5 days. Which is also wastage of time by 26 men.(incl. Umpire). And no. of lacs people watching and westing the time. If only 1 crore people watching the game for 8 hours only, means 8 crore manpower hours are wasted. By this much manpower, any productive or developing task can be achieved.

Yes, at this point, it's too late to do anything about it. \n\nHowever, I feel that the person who failed to tag the runner should have told the ump that he/she didn't tag the runner upon hearing the "out" call. That would have been the honorable thing for him/her to do. I would rather lose a game than lose my integrity any day. There is no joy in winning a game if the win is not honest. To me anyway.

Well I am from New Zealand, but I have to say that the decision was correct. I think it is clear that when you say 'grand-parents', you don't mean 'great grand-parents'. The New Zealand Rugby League chairman has quite rightly resigned and, if it is shown that any other board members or the coach knew about this false declaration, then they should go too. The people to feel sorry for are the other players, but it is important that the rules of eligibility are strictly applied and that penalties are heavy enough to dissuade deliberate breaches.

Cricket can take days to finish, but as far as pace goes - curling.  I fell in love with the sport after the Olympics, but when you have a sport that allows you 1 hour of "discussion time", how much action can you have?!

I can see where you are coming from and you have a good point.\n\nIt would be a great system to implement. I think it would help if the refs had to speak with an independent person and actually give a reason for some of their calls.\n\nPersonally, I'm fine with how the game is right now. I really don't want football to become like every other sport. I think some things, good or bad, have helped shape the game into the exciting, fair and unfair, chaotic, fun, energizing, and whatever else game that it is today.\n\nBut that is a great idea, nonetheless. Good thinking :)

i think 4 feilders should remain inside the circle during whole duration of the match.\n   There has been no formal announcement or any review committee to look into the law of powerplays.Till now no scrapping of the rule will take place

Normally about missed tackles, who's fault it was to conceed a try etc. Captain should sort it out there and then, if he can't then the players involved should be droped.

Wow.  That might be the WORST idea I've ever heard.  Leaving aside all of the positive benefits of sport (and there are many), what right to we have to tell someone how they can make a living?  (Assuming, of course, it is legal)

You are right, the ICC should (and are) focusing on places like China.\n\nThe game in USA has been so mis-managed, and nobody cares about cricket there.\n\nChina will be a world power (politcally, economically etc) in 20 years time, so getting the game in now would be smart for the games growth.

Make it an offence to gesture to the referee, encouraging him to show a card to an opposing player. I hate this habit in the game! I'd also advocate the use of television match officials, much like in rugby.

I do believe in fair play, some don't like that dutch guy and his coach, but that's not a reason for me to quit using and practicing the fair play, and they should not quit either , so I think is better to have the fair play rule than having nothing and let the players to do whatever they want.

I think most leagues have that rule, but get around it by having most players of that nation on the second 11 or reserves. But if enforced better, it may very well cut down on all the diving that takes place. English football players. managers, owners and fans have voiced concerns on this in the past.

At the moment almost all cricket playeres are facing that problem. I've heard the ICC will give atleast two weeks off to players after every series in the future.
