    So did McGrath and Anderson.

    Best bowling actions to copy

    Harold Larwood had a beautiful bowling action, and probably bowled three or four times as many overs per season as any of these pampered modern quicks without being injured often.

    **Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

    Both captains wanted to bat first. All the commentators were saying that it would flatten out after lunch and become a road. If the curator set out to make a bowler's wicket, the message never got to anyone else. The amount of seam movement and bounce has surprised everyone.

    **Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

    Perhaps next time India win the toss on the greenest pitch in cricket history they might want to consider bowling first? Just a thought.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    Gutted that Northants have lost Jack White and Emilio Gay, and very far from convinced that Dom Leech makes up for it. But Lehmann as coach should be interesting.

    **Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

    Also, pains me to say it but Kohli doesn't deserve to be dropped for the 5th Test. They should drop one of the players who hasn't made a ton in the series instead.

    **Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

    India's quest to have their very own Moeen Ali is ended at last.

    Why did Australia win the boxing day test?

    The name Rohit Sharma seems mysteriously absent from this poll.

    Players Whose Careers Ended Without Any Fanfare

    Matthew Hoggard. Seem to remember England were on a dismal tour of NZ where their batters weren't getting any runs. Instead of changing the batting lineup the selectors binned Hoggard which looked unfair. It was only years later it was revealed that there was some crisis in his personal life at...

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    It was hard to see but it looked as though Kohli had time to sacrifice himself once he noticed that Jaiswal had run the whole length of the pitch. And he should have done so.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    It smacks a lot of 90s era England selection.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Also when people disregard bowlers as being too slow to do well in Test cricket in Australia they seem to forget that Stuart Clark was quite handy.

    So basically the Aussies are desperately trying and failing to find their very own Ben Duckett. How the mighty etc.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Yeah I don't understand why Rocky Flintoff has been picked ahead of Archie Vaughan. Also baffles me why Emilio Gay can't get a game for the Lions. Also who tf is Mitch Stanley?

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    What happened to Shardul Thakur? Is he injured or just out of favour?

    Who are upcoming potential good fast bowlers in your country

    Would have said Tom Lawes but he had a poor season in 2024. I like Ajeet Singh Dale, has good pace and his accuracy has improved. James Minto at Durham is v raw but also looks rapid.

    Where will Steve Smith end up being ranked?

    If we are not going to allow aesthetic considerations to sway us, should we then say that Shivnarine Chanderpaul is an ATG and better than Smith? Similar average over a longer career and often carried an increasingly crap Windies team.

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    I used to play recreational cricket with a guy who was a professional gambler. Think he was just very bored with life, having sold off his business and made a packet. Last I heard he was banned from every racecourse in the country for fixing.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    So with Moriarty and now Virdi going, do Surrey actually have a specialist spinner for four-day matches? Or are they just going to fly in Shakib al-Hasan whenever the pitch looks a bit dry?

    Thank You James Anderson- Farewell Thread

    That would be a more convincing argument if they hadn't then picked Chris Woakes in his place.
