Resolved Question: Do you agree with some of these reasons why test cricket's future hangs in the balance?

How is Test cricket being threatened? Let us count the ways 1 Crowds. Outside England and Australia Test cricket is struggling to attract numbers. Tickets for the Ashes series in Australia this winter are selling well but in every other Test playing country it is a very different story. A survey by the MCC last year of supporters in India, South Africa and New Zealand concluded that Test cricket is the now game’s least popular format. That was borne out in the West Indies last month. The atmosphere for Test cricket in the Caribean used to be legendary, but, the recent series against South Africa drew pitiful crowds. 2 Context. The current system used to devise the No 1 ranked Test team in the world is hard to follow, based as it is on the number of points accumulated over a period of years. A Test World Championship has been mooted, with semi-finals and a final a possibility by the 2013. 3 Terrorism. One-day and Twenty20 cricket can thrive without international matches taking place in Pakistan but Test cricket needs to reach the younger audience and a whole generation of Pakistanis now face growing up without access to the longer form of the game. 4 Twenty20. Do the math. If Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff can earn more than £1million for playing 14 matches in the Indian Premier League, why should they bother playing Test cricket? Last year England played 14 Test matches around the world. That is 10 months hard graft on the road for half the money that can be made in the IPL. 5 Pitches. High scoring draws played out on lifeless pitches are killing what remaining interest there is in Test cricket. Last year England’s tour to the West Indies was a snooze cruise around the Caribbean thanks to dead pitches. As Imran Khan points out, too, fast bowlers need some help from the groundsmen. 6 Bad Light. It might be a bright idea not to antagonise those who do pay to go to watch Test cricket by walking off for bad light at the first sign of a shadow. Doesn’t happen in Twenty20.

Resolved Question: Urgent help traveling to San Francisco?

I'm traveling from Australia to San Francisco later this November for 13 days and i found out that the people that i was thinking of staying with didn't really have much accessible public transport to San Francisco as they live just far out enough. I really would love to discover SF and sites such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir woods. I love beautiful scenery and am interested in the bay cruise too. Yosemite is another beautiful place. Because i don't want to spend 13 days in a nearly excluded area, i was wondering if there are any tours that are around 7-10 days or so, even if they explore San Francisco and surrounding areas in California, as long as the final destination is SF. Thanks for any help. more

Resolved Question: Should i go to yosemite for a few days or cruise to Ensenada, Mexico? Cost is similar.?

The cost is similar. Which is better in your opinion. I never been to mexico or on a cruise. But Ensenada, Mexico beaches don't look that nice. But like i said i never been to mexico so i think there will be a lot of local cultural things to offer. I been to yosemite on a bus tour but never really immerse myself in it with activities like hiking & i don't really remember. I live in nyc. In the future i plan to go to the carribbeans with my friends by flight and stay in hotel. This trip is with my parents and i think taking a cruise is a good activity to do with the parents. since i will fly to the carribbeans in the future i don't really want to take a cruise there. Should i just wait on the cruise experience and take it in australia/new zealand. since money and vacation time is tight I want to get the most out of my trip I am from the nyc area. more

Resolved Question: is the NZ - AUS rivalry a myth?

On a tour of NZ, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the ocean for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach at Wanganui in his car, when there was a frantic commotion just off the shore. A helpless man wearing a green and gold Aussie rugby jersey was struggling frantically to free himself, from the jaws of a 5-metre shark. As the Pope watched horrified, a Waka cruised up alongside with two men wearing All Black jerseys. Rangi quickly threw a harpoon into the shark's side. Hohepa reached out and pulled the mauled, bleeding and semiconscious Aussie from the water. Then, using long clubs, Rangi and Hohepa killed the shark and hauled it into the boat. Immediately the Pope summoned them to the beach, 'I give you my blessing for your brave actions,' he told them. 'I heard that there was some bitter rivalry between New Zealand and Australia, but now I have seen with my owneyes that this is not true.' As the Pope drove off, Rangi asked Hohepa 'Who the hell was that, bro?' 'That was the Pope cuz' Hohepa replied. 'He's in direct contact with God bro, and has access to all of God's wisdom.' 'Well' Rangi said, 'he may have access to God's wisdom, but he don't know bugger all about shark fishing .........Is the bait holding up okay, or do we need to get another Aussie?".inspired by P more

Resolved Question: Which tour company should I use for a simi-submersible reef tour in Cairns, Australia?

We will be visiting Cairns, Australia for a day and want to do a simi-submersible tour of the Great Barrier Reef. I have identified several tour companies that will leave from the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns. The companies that I have found are: --- Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises --- Reef Magic Cruises --- Sunlover Reef Cruises --- Great Adventures Outer Reef & Island Cruises --- Quicksilver Cruises I would like a tour leaving from the Reef Fleet Terminal as it will be walking distance from our hotel. Also, are tours going to Green Island the same as or as good as those going to other places like Agincourt Reef?? We are not interested in scuba or snorkel, just seeing the reef and maybe some beach time if the weather is nice (1/30/2009). Advice?? more

Resolved Question: My First Cruise?

I am 20 years old and I REALLY want to go on a trip on my own (without the family who spoils all the trips we`ve had before and...I just need some freedom). So I`ve never been on a cruise before. Would like to go somewhere like Australia or New Zealand. Just curious, how does a cruise work? When they dock, do they let you wander off on your own? Or do they tour around with you? Do you need to book hotels at the docking points or just get back on the ship at the end of the day? Very nervous and I need some advice! more
