    No hopers who made it

    2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

    As if they're going to do that when there's a golf course waiting for them. All out by lunch, I reckon

    Top 50 Greatest fish batters

    Nobody cares, I'm sure, but for the record: -katsu is a suffix used mainly for deep-fried meat in breadcrumbs (katsu is a shortened form of katsuretsu -- the Japanese for "cutlets") pork, beef, chicken, mince -furai is the suffix mainly used for seafood not meat but cooked basically the same...

    Semi-Final #2- New Zealand v South Africa- Wednesday, March 5th- Lahore

    cricinfo, on Rachin's ton, wrote: "He gets a small hug from Williamson, it still looks hot btw." Is that meant to be two sentences, or is it saying what I think it's saying?

    Suggestions for improving Cricket Web

    I'm a member of another forum that uses ZenForo and they block posts from a few of their subforums from appearing on the "What's New" page -- so it is absolutely possible as a global option. Could we do that here too, please.

    Malcolm Marshall vs Kapil Dev (with a tweak)

    I think it depends entirely on who the other 10 players are -- you can't look at it in isolation. If you are talking about selecting the all-time greatest team ever, you know you already have amazing batting with Bradman, Sobers, Hobbs etc., and picking Marshall means you can field the five...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    Continent drift

    Which continent is going to come out on top? And, more to the point, which continent is going to fall away? Looks to me like India is the most vulnerable here, squeezed between Australia and Eurasia; sure, over the decades they've had some seriously impressive peaks (especially the Himalayas)...
