    The Great Captains

    Imran Khan “…Imran was turning Pakistan into the greatest and most joyous cricket team in the world. In 1992, as an England fan, I was shattered by our defeat at the hands of Pakistan in the World Cup final. As someone who loved cricket and all the splendid things it stands for, I had no...

    The Great Captains

    Captains I remember well are Hussain, Vaughn, Strauss and obviously Cook. I vaguely remember some of Atherton's time.

    The Great Captains

    The first test of the 2010 series and the only reason it was a comfortable draw was because SA insisted on going for a lead of 450, even though they had Pakistan 132 runs behind already. They batted too long to eliminate risk, when a declaration at a lead of 350 would have given a better drive...

    imo, Strauss is the best England captain I have seen in my lifetime

    Graeme Smith “Smith's leadership and his batting are all about being direct and upfront. The subtleties of captaincy have grown into his game, but he is still at his most comfortable surging once more unto the breach…” Telford Vice Graeme Craig Smith is a colossus of South African cricket...

    The Great Captains

    You obviously haven't looked at my criteria. It would help to read the opening post :) body count is body line now? And if you actually read my piece a large part of it is about bodyline. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised that a Border fan can't read :laugh: It continues to get better lol

    helmets park cricket

    In England, at school level, you HAVE to wear a helmet, batsmen and keepers. Which is horrible as a keeper because the poor quality helmets we used to get would restrict movement and visibility,

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

    NZ have mounted some great comebacks in ODI cricket over they last 2 or 3 years, they could certainly pull another here.

    The Great Captains

    I've been working on this series for a while now, probably a year and I have finally put together a list the five greatest cricketing captains in the history of this sport. I have tried to be as objective as possible and considering the limit of only five names, the true upper echelon of the...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    Amir is the only one you Aussies have to worry about tbh. You're right he hasn't run through a line up in his come back but then again they have dropped 11 or 12 catches off of him in like 7 tests. That's a horrendous return for a young guy working on confidence. If he can carry on bowling...

    A great result against the 'Win Toss, win the Test match" theory

    The contrary Indian fans are at it again, overlooking facts smh

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    As much as Pakistan have been an excellent test nation from the tail end/early 2011 on wards, doing well pretty much everywhere and against everyone, Australia are going to hammer them. I feel like Starc and Hazlewood will probably end up with 20+ wickets a piece at averages under 20. Have...

    A great result against the 'Win Toss, win the Test match" theory

    In fact, of the 33 tests this century that India have won the toss and batted first, they have won or drawn 27 of those tests. Some of you don't think that's an advantage to India winning the test and batting first? They've only lost 6...6 man. There's a decided advantage for India and their...

    A great result against the 'Win Toss, win the Test match" theory

    I don't think anyone has claimed that India won only due to the toss but there is no doubt how many games India has won this season while winning the toss first AND batting first. That's the key here, getting to bat first. It's just a statement of fact. It's not to put India down. We all know...

    Which team will reunify the belts?

    Well considering India are playing almost all their cricket at home, it'll be India no? But the rankings are kinda **** and in reality,apart from England and to a lesser extent Pakistan and South Africa, not many teams have been successful home and way and this has gone on since the loss of...

    The Cricketers That Shaped Me

    tbf, Kallis was spin pace in those days lol I kid obviously but yeah, when KP was on top form, he just had so much time to play the ball that the bowler could never settle. Of all the bowlers in world cricket, the two that really unsettled him and he never seemed to fully get over were Asif...
