    English Domestic Season 2025

    Never understood why any nation uses the Kookaburra ball, it so obviously produces crap cricket. Some boards like to have flat matches that go five days so everyone can get pissed and yell at the opposition so I doubt it will ever change.

    *Official* South Africa Test Tour of Zimbabwe 2025

    Yes Ben Curran is injured which is why Kaitano is playing: Masvaure was the backup batsman.

    *Official* South Africa Test Tour of Zimbabwe 2025

    Fantastic innings from Williams, has to be his best knock for Zim. Unfortunately Bennett's concussion showcases the lack of depth in Zim cricket, you go from a guy who took a ton off England in England (albeit in good batting conditions) to Prince Masvaure, a nuggety bat who has made some solid...

    *Official* South Africa Test Tour of Zimbabwe 2025

    You can watch live on icc.tv as much as I hate giving Jay Shah my email address. In 30 days time I’ll be at this ground for the NZ test :)

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    I'm not prepared to judge Konstas on one match in very difficult conditions but he will need to show he's adjusting in the next match. Windies were following a very obvious plan that dissected him. As I said yesterday, Windies is likely the hardest place to open outside of an English greentop...

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    West Indies is not the best place to try a new batting lineup. England have fallen foul of this in the past. Australia's bowling will ensure victory though. No idea if the stats would back this up, but I'd go as far as saying the Windies is the hardest place to bat in the world over the last...

    Lets all laugh at Australia

    Should never have let Captain Woke get rid of true blue Aussie hero Justin Langer. /s

    Cricket’s Popularity in England

    I haven’t lived in the UK for 15 years but both the clubs I have connections to are thriving. The small village in Devon I used to play for now has three men’s teams, three youth sides and a women’s team. When I grew up there we had two men’s teams, usually scraping the twos together, and no...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'd sooner Duffy over Kuggs as well :)

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Stead had a great run but I fear NZ will pay the price for his conservative selection policies over the coming years. He was good at setting up the team for particular scenarios and conditions, albeit with some notable failures, but not at developing or trusting young talent. For me the last...

    Famous or infamous rifts between cricketers

    Peter Roebuck vs Botham, really Peter Roebuck vs all English players Obscure county player turned umpire Russell Warren kicked off a massive feud within the Northants dressing room after he slept with a teammate's fiancee.

    *Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

    I had a lovely conversation with my 94-year-old grandad last night. He's never understood why I like Zimbabwe so much but he made a point of saying how much he'd enjoyed listening to the match (he's nearly blind), how impressed he was by how Zim played and how great their fans are. Grandad...

    How good could Zimbabwe be…

    IMHO they would not suddenly become a top 8 side. They would be better than Bangladesh and Windies but struggle against everyone above them, with the odd win. Basically back to the level they were in 1999/2000. It is also a mistake to glorify the 1999/2000 Zim compared to the current side: I...
