    Best Ever Fielding XI

    I couldn't see anywhere where this had been done recently - though I'm sure its been done. The third paceman was difficult - I had a mental blank about any quicks who can actually field aside from Flintoff and Lee - no doubt someone can suggest something. Bob Simpson Mark Taylor Ricky Ponting...

    Who's going to consolidate their place first

    It occurs to me that both England and Australia have a young batsmen who have almost equal numbers convinced that they're future captains and champions, or that they're simply not good enough - Ian Bell and Michael Clarke. Do people see both these players coming good as consistent top-drawer...

    All-Time Boozers XI

    Pick an XI that is as good on the turps as they are on the field - both cricket ability and prodigious drinking talent are required. My nominations are: David Boon Doug Walters Andrew Flintoff Keith Miller Rodney Marsh Merv Hughes

    This might have been discussed previously, but I saw a Peter Roebuck article a few weeks ago that made an argument that the rules of the game were biased towards left-handed batsmen and that this is evidenced by the everincreasing numbers of lefties in the top orders of teams around the world...

    Choose Your Own Pitch

    I saw on the news that the ICC will now be holding member boards responsible if 'sub-standard' pitches are produced. Presumably this means pitches with grass on them, or that might spin earlier than the afternoon of the fifth day. One thing that continually irritates me is home captains coming...

    Grittiest XI

    Pick an eleven on the criteria of gritty tenacity, "never say die". Batters who best defend their wicket in adversity, rather than strokeplayers, bowlers who never drop their heads, even when its 340/1 on a belter and 40 degrees in the shade. My initial thoughts David Boon Bill Woodfull Dravid...

    All-Time Greatest Pakistani Team

    Like lots of people I suppose I like doing up 'best ever' teams. In drawing up one for Pakistan, I've hit a bit of a wall in terms of filling in the last few places - I freely admit my knowledge of Pakistan's history in the game is not as thorough as it is for some other countries. The...
