    Top Ten ODI cricketers of All Time

    "Is it too premature to call him the best ever? You can probably say that right now as far as his one-day cricket is concerned. His one-day record is outstanding and probably better than anybody that's ever played the game given how many hundreds (27) he's made but let's give him a few years yet...

    I've had enough, Virat Kohli.......

    I knew Ventura commentated, I never realised he did it whilst he was Governor. Thought it was before or after :laugh:

    If only Stokes came from the right type of family

    Alastair Cook steps down as England captain

    Probably. There are multiple factors right? Like I'm sure Cook's relatively mild mannered nature and body language played a part in him being deemed defensive, compared to Kohli who is clearly very emotional, sledges a lot, attacks the opposition in press conferences and is generally highly...

    Alastair Cook steps down as England captain

    You can't use that one point from Vaughan as the rule though. You'll need more than that to convince me that Cook is hardly judged as captain because of his bating style. I bet there is an article from Chappell panning the **** out of Dhoni after the 4-0 4-0 losses as a defensive captain. I've...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Watched it last night, it was great. Very interesting insights into how they marketed it to the hilt and why it failed. But my favourite bit about it is that it reminded everyone of Vince's interview with Bob Costas, which is just hilarious as ****.

    Alastair Cook steps down as England captain

    I think you missed my point. People are saying Cook gets called a defensive captain because of his defensive batting, and Kohli gets called an aggressive captain because of his aggressive batting - i.e. a captain's batting style misleads fans into thinking they captain that way. I am merely...

    Alastair Cook steps down as England captain

    Bringing him back = 2012 India win. I think Peter Miller noted that in an article today on Cook's captaincy.

    Alastair Cook steps down as England captain

    On Cook's captaincy tenure, I actually think it was quite good overall. When you're captain for a long time you are bound to have massive ups and downs, with huge series wins and then shockers. The whole KP incident is a stain that it occurred during his tenure but it was more an ECB issue than...

    ***Official*** Australia vs New Zealand ODIs 2016/17

    That was great. Two very fun and see-sawing ODIs potentially decided by some terrific fielding positions made in the crunch. Well done to Kaptain Kane and Boult. Finch's dismissal was pretty poor from the "captain". Opened up the game for NZ and they took it.

    Dreadful series/matches by good/great players

    Nah he just loved playing cricket and knew nothing else except cricket. He wasn't retiring after the world cup as the best batsman in the world, which he was at the time. He was always going to run that tank empty.

    ***OFFICIAL*** BBL | 06 Thread

    Don't think channel 10 did anything wrong here. CA are fining him. Channel 10 just asked him a question as the broadcaster. They weren't befuddled with the answer, they are completely separate to CA.

    Yep absolutely. As for the match, pretty exciting and fast paced so far.

    Dreadful series/matches by good/great players

    Dravid heading into Aus in 99 was nowhere near the player that Dravid was heading into 2011/12 series (i.e. when he was coming off the back of the Eng tour) - both in respect of form, capability and reputation. So his failure in 99/2000, whilst worse statistically, was nowhere near what this...

    ***Official*** England in India 2016/17

    Absolutely The criticism has been isolated to the 8 for 8 collapse, not the whole team or series. If a team loses 8 for 8 they should be panned. Surely that isn't controversial.
