    What does Sri Lanka do here?

    "Tea" is synecdoche. When the umpires call time in the afternoon, the indication is towards more than just flavoured boiled water. A balanced meal with the appropriate solids to accompany liquids is nutrition 101. Biscuits. The greatest ever Sri Lankan player had a biscuitting family background...

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    It's grabbing the 'out' in Southee. I think it's poor coding running a basic Ctrl-F to highlight instances of all pre-defined trigger events when any one of the trigger events occurs.

    Can Ashwin beat Murali's 800?

    I count 15 unequivocal Nos and 2 Smali'ing posts. There was even a post prior to fibbertyjibber's referencing Cook's runs tally: Fibbertyjibber's later post was uncalled for.

    *Official* West Indies v India in North America

    Ashwin vs Kapil is a no brainier. Ashwin vs Mankad is a discussion worth having, especially since Ashwin would have played as many Tests as Mankad by the end of this season.

    The "I played for X in FC draft"

    With a name like that, he'd better have been the greatest AR of all time.

    The "I played for X in FC draft"

    I don't see the ambiguity with the Pietersen pick. He played for Natal at the time SA was his homeland. The rules don't state that the player had to already have been a Test cricketer at the time under consideration.

    Amir should have been banned for life: Graeme Swann

    That's just rude. You mustn't cut in. You pick a number and get in line behind all the other people awaiting their turn.

    Amir should have been banned for life: Graeme Swann

    Why would people be less angry about it unless they considered it a lesser offence? Emotions like anger don't arise out of thin air. The anger is a response from people's reading of the severity of a situation, which in this case happens to be an irrational reading of the situation.

    Amir should have been banned for life: Graeme Swann

    Well, people who subscribe to that theory are plain stupid. "Let's consider in lesser light a drugs offence by a cricketer who does benefit from it because there are other aspects of cricket where it doesn't help." ​Seriously, what a stupid argument that is.

    Amir should have been banned for life: Graeme Swann

    I dunno. I'd say quicker recovery from injuries is definitely an unfair direct advantage. Besides, the ability to propel a ball across 22 yards for prolonged periods is an athletic activity too.

    Amir should have been banned for life: Graeme Swann

    It's amazing how absolutely serious an offense drugs cheating becomes in the eyes of some when it comes to athletes in the Olympics, but not in cricket.

    Amir should have been banned for life: Graeme Swann

    Isn't that just recursive reasoning? Some people dislike Amir because of his greed and antics in the immediate aftermath of his exposure. Was there reason to dislike him prior to the spot fixing episode?

    Pick the other Drafter's Drafts Draft

    These parameters don't contribute to that challenge at all. You could have paced yourself perfectly well and needed 1 batsman and 1 bowler to balance your team with your last two picks, and then you get hit with two consecutive batsmen choices screwing you over for no fault on your end. Educated...
