    Joel Garner vs Michael Holding

    Cricketers are such bad evaluators of cricketers

    Alec Bedser vs Keith Miller

    Tests take priority of course but FC cricket was played by everyone in that era and it was a significant contribution to the health and growth of the game. That’s much less true when comparing modern players so much so I think it’s fine to just ignore non test FC records after 2000 or so.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Is there really no more test cricket until October? I’m starting to feel a nasty comedown from the India England series. A Pakistan WI Jamodi going on doesn’t help things.

    I was hoping to see Wellington Mazakadza play. Such a gun name up there with Washington Sundar.

    *Official* Pakistan in Florida and Trinidad T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    well that was a boring ass match. Not much has changed with ODIs the format cannot be saved outside of the World Cup. Pakistan looking like a professional outfit today. Hope they buck that trend and we see some fireworks next match. Trinidad might have the most beautiful women in the world...

    Root could pass Atherton's record in this series!

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    With no back to back tests until MCG, I would try play Archer in tests 1-3. Rest him at MCG, and only bring back for SCG if fully fit and it's not a dead rubber. Play Leach at Adelaide and prob rest of the series tbh. He actually got wickets in Pakistan ffs. Why would you discard him now. 4...

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    Day time tests with 40 degree weather is an iconic part of the Adelaide experience. Seems it would give the home team a meaningful advantage esp since England doesn't have a credible spinner (let's see if Leach is ever brought back). Gabba is generally a bit of a crap shoot anyways so give some...

    Dad or Daddy's army? Depends on how Root vs Cumm goes.

    3 tests.. No real test cricket fan would advocate for a 2 test series.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    The thing is Crawley especially has had way too many chances. Can't really say he's miles better than the rest when they haven't tried anyone else in a long time. Is Crawley really an upgrade from Sibley.. Bazball selection and team management appears to have gotten the max from guys like...

    Wait, they moved venue for day 5? Was this a regular thing back then?

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    birthdays are not uniformly distributed. I guess the same could be said for Gill’s toss strategy

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    So is it really bazball or all time great bowlers that contributed to the success?

    What India need to do to home pitches

    How does Nathan Lyon, an offspinner, have 500 wickets in this brand of cricket?
