    Especially since it was Day 1 and they batted second. Duffy in debut will never have a better opportunity for a Test ton.

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

    I could also say, but I mostly can't be bothered, that the continued selections of Crawley and Pope (and I like/rate Pope) are also part of this. It also wasn't just talk to not select Ben Compton for the Lions. I think it mostly started how you and I would regard the successes of it, and then...

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

    Yeah but I can hate it because of talk. As I said earlier I do think it made the batting better. I was asked why I hated it. And declarations aren't just talk either.

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

    Oh I just personally don't like it. I don't care if it makes England better or not if I hate it. But even beyond that - the entire franchise grew outside its remit for a while and we got Day 1 declarations and people saying Ali Cook wouldn't be selected. The selection thing is what pissed me...

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    It reminds me of Kenya a bit. They had their golden generation, and then fell away so badly that Collins Obuya was still good enough to make their side as he neared his 50th birthday. This is why I told @Chubb that I thought to some extent that Zimbabwe cricket was Madhevere or bust. Bust is a...

    This batting line up still looks decent on paper, but they are suffering from: 1. Lack of recent Test experience 2. Four of their best five players being geriatric The bowling, however, is gash.

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

    They had the same all time great bowlers and mostly the same batting personnel beforehand and pretty much sucked. I hate Bazball and I think it actively hurts them when it applies to selection or declarations, but I do think it helped mentally free up some confused and trapped batsmen and gave...

    Should india convert two match test series vs sa into 3 match series?

    India's pitches are good.

    Probably averages more than Hoggard.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Eh I don't really agree. Their job is to commentate on the game before their eyes. Yes they should do their homework so they can discuss it with context, but we knew one team was much better than the other before the game started, you should have watched a podcast on it if that's what you wanted...

    He means he's filling in for him in the Hundred side, not here.
