    Perfect Yorker.

    I can’t say definitively who bowled the best yorker but after watching those highlight reels of the likes of Waqar, it is clear that batsmen have become much better at facing them. Batsmen of the 90s were bamboozled by yorkers but now people like Buttler will scoop them for six.

    Mitchell Starc vs Ellyse Perry

    Perry for me

    Top 20 greatest batsmen of all time

    There is nothing “fun” about WW2 and this is clearly something you will never understand. When a nation is funneling all their resources to defending themselves militarily, cricket takes a back seat. This should be obvious to someone of moderate intelligence.

    England tour of Australia ODIs

    England have basically sent an A team to face the best Australia have to offer. Let’s see how it plays out.

    Top 20 greatest batsmen of all time

    But you have to put facts and statistics in perspective. Almost 400,000 British cricket playing aged males died in WW2 compared to 40,000 Australians. If you don’t understand what impact that has on a nation’s ability to field a sporting team then there is nothing I can do to help you. Should we...

    England tour of Australia ODIs

    No, you are right they have omitted Hales. Perhaps they just want to give Oz a chance.

    England tour of Australia ODIs

    Hales is arguably a better opener than Bairstow. It was only his indiscretions with recreational drugs that has kept him out for so long. Hales’ record in Australia is much better than YJB’s.

    Top 20 greatest batsmen of all time

    It always amazes me how people can rank batsmen they have never watched against bowlers they have never watched. Stats don’t always paint an accurate picture. For example, Don Bradman’s stats look great but when you factor in the fact that he was largely playing against a nation who had their...

    Team of the tournament

    I think Josh Little’s smart stats were a bit skewed by him playing the first round but he certainly deserves his spot. If I could choose between him and an unfit Afridi, then it is Little every time.

    England tour of Australia ODIs

    This is my first thread posting here so forgive me if I’m doing it wrong. England’s tour of Australia has been quite successful so far. Would have whitewashed Australia in the T20 series if it wasn’t for the rain, won the T20 World Cup and will now face Oz in an ODI series. Will it be much...

    Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

    My bad, I thought you meant he wasn’t in the side like Moeen in 2019. Anyway, it’s still an interesting point that both World Cup winning squads only shared 6 cricketers. This 2022 team was just cobbled together last minute too. It’s like England can just scrape any 11 together and win a World...

    We will win the World Cup

    Are we predicting a whitewash of Australia in the ODI series too?

    Re build your team of T20 hacks

    Rehan Ahmed would walk into any T20 team in the world apart from England. It’s just unfortunate that he will have to wait for Rashid to retire.

    Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

    Great win by England. Easily the best white ball team in the world for quite a few years now.

    2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

    Even Justin Trudeau was called out for black face and that guy is as progressive as it comes. He did a Bhangra dance when he went to India. Black face certainly doesn’t mean that someone is racist or trying to be offensive.

    2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

    He wasn’t even charged with assault because he had almost nothing to do with it apart from trying to pull Stokes back. It was Stokes who was put on trial.

    Best and worst bowler celebrations/sendoffs

    Sheldon Cottrel’s celebration is pretty cringe. I think having any fixed pre-planned celebration gets old very quickly. The best celebrations are just spur of the moment.

    Most overrated cricketer

    Ashwin is a very overrated white ball bowler. Should only be playing tests.
