Hi Ben,What would you value a 2013 ICC champions trophy Sri Lanka entire team signed bat?
For me, it's got to be walk! I was given out 3 times on bad decisions season just gone, and 2 of them were from the only SACA accredited umpire in my competition! The first one I smashed the ground and he gave me out caught behind, and the other was an LBW shout that had a massive inside edge and would've gone down leg anyway. Had I known I was out I definitely would've just walked straight away. It might be a somewhat extreme example, but to me, knowing your out and waiting for the umpires decision is like shoplifting and waiting for the cops to catch you out. In saying that I don't have any less respect for people who wait for the umpire's decision, at the end of the day it could be the difference between winning and losing a match!Interesting thread ideaI'll give you a fairly controversial general cricket-related one: to walk or not to walk?
Wow, 3 times in one season. That's rough!For me, it's got to be walk!

Cheers for the question Scott!
Hi Ben,
I'd value one of those bats around the $140-$150 mark
Hi George,What would you value a Brett Lee TnP Jersey Redemption at?
Hi Chris,Why is the 1988/89 Scanlens/Stimorol set so hard to find? Lower print run? I'm flummoxed.
"Do you think the toss should go?" No Michael, I believe it would be a ridiculous decision if the toss were to be abandoned. Whilst there are arguments towards having more even games with the away team having the overriding option against the home side. In my opinion, the toss is the only fair way to decide who does what first, after all, you can't argue with how a coin falls. What ever happened to the saying "Cricket is a game of chance"?? It's almost like they're trying to make it less of a game of chance, more a game of fairness.I have two questions i hope thats ok Keaton. Do you think the toss should go and with day/night test cricket getting more games will a very good batting average of 50+ now be 40+?
Hi Steve,So you think the 1988/89 Scanlens/Stimorol set is hard to find - I've got them all in VG+ Condition but...
Can you find someone else in the entire country who has a 1912 Henderson's Sweets (from Sydney NSW) 'Magic Photo' cricket card?
I have one in my collection, but its lonely & I'd love to see another one - meet the owner and see either a scan or it in the flesh!
Steve F.
