Ashes player ratings - First Test 11:03am on 13 Jul 2009 For the second tests, drop Panesar and bring in Onions or sidebottom. I'd personally go for sidebottom, as he's a lefty and creates a different angle. If Stuart broad does not improve, he should be dropped too. Must keep an eye on Bopara too. Maybe Shane Warne was right after all.
What can we learn from Murray defeat? 2:35pm on 27 Jan 2009 Here we go again. The British media does not seem to tire about finding the next "British grand slam champion", even if that particular person happens to be Scottish. Get over it.
Pietersen's gamble too far 12:53pm on 08 Jan 2009 ak47 wrote:

The basic point if a person so impatient and can leave his own country and hurt its people for his petty selfish benefits once....he can do it twice for IPL !!..and UK is not his country.

Possibility is there! What do you say folks?

Won't be surprised if that happens. Pieterson needs something to satisfy his bruised ego, and the IPL might be it.
Pietersen's gamble too far 11:35am on 08 Jan 2009 So, just before the all important ashes, just when people were talking up england's chances and about ponting's worries, comes a scenario which, I must say, couldn't have been better scripted for the aussies. England have lost both their coach and captain on the same day, and I have never seen anything like it before. They might have just lost the ashes.

Good luck, let us know when it gets over.
Turnout turnaround? 12:55pm on 12 Nov 2008 #288 Magic

Nobody is asking Israel to withdraw fully, It is only agreed that if Israel started treating the Palestinians like human beings, then they wouldn't feel too aggrieved to start firing rockets. Agreed, Hamas is at fault for firing rockets, but If Israel agreed for better terms, Hamas would have less justification for firing rockets. You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.

"He is very selective in his championing of human rights"

This is the most illogical statement that I have seen today. I never have seen you say anything about the dozens of homes that Israel demolishes daily, harassment and intimidation meted out at their checkpoints to the palestanian people who have to cross the checkpoint to get to work. Are you not being selective?
An end to "victimhood"? 2:11pm on 10 Nov 2008 #721 ex1312

Spoken straight from the heart. I doff my hat for you,sir.

Let's not kid ourselves that Racism has been totally eliminated. Ok, fine, Obama got elected, but it shouldn't be interpreted as a new dawn. Agreed, blacks ( or african americans in political speak) have to shoulder some of the blame for their condition, but there are others, like ex1312 above, who are well qualified and competent, are being treated badly. The world, not just America, has to start shedding its concept of self superiority and start treating everybody else as equals. That road leads to a better world.

"t is Israeli land and the Palestinians have been given far more than they deserve"

So, somebody comes, kicks you out of your land, makes a state, then declares that you are invaders in their land. Would you like it? accept it, saying "Oh, it's their land."? Come on, talk some logic here .

I can think of a couple more reasons. I personally admire John Mccain, adn I feel he was hard done by the party itself. I don't think the choice of VP was his decision, it seemed more like a decision taken by the party neocons. Though I don't agree with some of your comments:

"The Obama camp successfully compelled Fox news into being fair by not only labelling them as an arm of the republican party, but by using other smear campaigns and tactics."

So you do admit that they were biased in their coverage by calling socialist and leftist. So, is being a fair news channel bad?

"It reminded me of the free reign Russia had over Georgian airspace"

Well, Georgia invaded first, so they must expect the consequences. You can't invade another country and not pay the consequences.
