Mohammad Amir made his comeback today. Took 3 wickets and bowled around 85mph.

If we'd kept him in jail longer, he'd be England qualified by now.

Cricinfo doesn't work anymore. Overlapping photo stories obscure text, and links take you to the wrong page. The site is a visual mess.

I hate it. We need a new cricket site.

[Durhamfootman]

I'd be in favour of that. I hate cr@pinfo. If someone can find a better site that includes SR's, econ's and who was involved in run outs in the scorecards, for FL purposes, I'd be right up for it.

I quite like the new Cricinfo layout. It is very slow though and i hate the autoplay videos.

if the BBC sport site scorecards had these I'd be shifting everything over there in a heartbeart

I've stopped the autoplay by downloading something or other. And it helps blanking the ads.

I'd be content with the new layout if it worked.

Cricketarchive is a great site. Simple to use too.

did i just see Michael Clarke announcing his ODI retirement after the final?

[GarlicJam]

yes

[Durhamfootman]

about 2 years too late, I reckon

[braveneutral]

Agreed!

I put forward the city of Launceston, Tasmania as the new capital of world cricket.

Australia have won 5 world cups and in three of them, the man of the match has been a Launcestonian. First Boon in '87, Ponting in '03 and now Faulkner.

Now country can make the same claim, let alone a piddly little city like Lonnie.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done Tas.

I bet some tiny villages in Barbados have produced some of the greatest stars in the game. Maybe not WC POTM's though. Island of about 200 000 people produced so many legends.

The Oz policy of integrating foreign born players into the Australian team has clearly paid off!
