All stars game going good atm

only man missing from the line ups is Brett Lee.

[X_Factor]

only those who retired from all forms of cricket for atleast 2-3yrs should be picked
sanga and kallis still green with form from playing cricket and will kill the oldies!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

there's alot more to this All-Stars series to what is shown on TV - coaching clincs, galas etc.

[X_Factor]

^ yup, i know
but whats the competition with someone who still plays competitive cricket facing guys who are in their 50's and retired atleast for some time now

[hondamatic]

Waqar n gilchrist shud b included

[meccalli]

Sanga too fresh for this thing, and kallis get a bligh lol.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Warne's side has the advantage ....I stop watching when Lara out ....would love to see this reach the Caribbean.... Ponting said they looking to expand

[Dizzy28]

If I had a bald head like Viru I would shave off the ring of hair and go complete Steve Harvey!!

[The Paleontologist]

I think they should have a tournament with around 6 all stars teams. That way we can see players who we haven't seen play in a long time. Langer, Brett Lee, jayasuria, azuraddin, greame Smith etc

[Dizzy28]

^ Not all retired players would have the appetite to play any form of cricket though!!

But then again money can do many things.

how come most grounds in the world don't have covers and get called off due to rain? dis iz 2015. in the Don's time or Grace or whoever, OK, fine. Now, this sholdn't be so. And as there is one dayers going on, surely this should be phased out, since 2020 has usurped its role.

ICC should have three tournaments only. Test points system like they have now, ICC WC with 2020s not one dayers, and maybe if the Aussies, England, SA, India, WI, Pak, reckon they can handle the extra games WC in one days. no champions trophy.

Do you mean a covered/domed stadium? There are very little domed stadiums in the world due to the cost. Cricket generates a lot of money but not enough to warrant the construction of covered stadiums in the countries it is played in.And as there is one dayers going on, surely this should be phased out, since 2020 has usurped its role.T20 is popular however ODI cricket is not completely dead. ODIs among the big 3 (Eng, Aus, India) will still draw sell out crowds in their home countries

ICC should have three tournaments onlyThis would have happened had India not won the 2013 Champions Trophy. It may very well happen at the end of the next CT. Test points system like they have now, ICC WC with 2020s not one dayers, and maybe if the Aussies, England, SA, India, WI, Pak, reckon they can handle the extra games WC in one days. no champions trophy.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

To add to that ^

test match cricket would always be alive as long as the Ashes around

[meccalli]

On that note of Aus, warner on 224*
