    Are team performances assessed by a common objective standard or in isolation?

    I have been thinking about this lately based on the various discussions and posts in various tour threads in CC. One of the thing that I find interesting is how fans of different teams will have a certain way of assessing their teams. Example: If Australia score 300 and lose an ODI game, we...

    Where are all the comparison threads?

    Lara vs Tendulkar? Dravid vs Kallis? Wasim vs McGrath? At least one major comparison topic used to be on Page 1. Threads involving players from previous generations like Botham vs Imran or Viv vs Chappell used to be quite popular too. Where are they? And yes Gotpills vs Nohit which was...

    The issue with No Balls and Dismissals these days

    What's with umpires checking for no balls after a dismissal these days? The first time I saw that was during the Ashes. I don't understand what's going on. These didn't used to happen before right? I can't recall umpires doing that before.. Now I see this happening in almost every match..a no...

    How was Andy Flower as a wicket keeper? I remember him as an awesome batsman..remember some great knocks against some of the best bowlers in difficult conditions..but I don't see him being talked about when people mention the greatest wicket keeper batsmen in the world.

    Greatness and Longevity

    I have been thinking about this for a while and then I came across this on Cricket Chat over the last couple of days in various topics. Whether it was Ponting vs Tendulkar or Botham vs Dev or analysing Waqar as a great bowler, it always seems to come up - how long a player managed to be at his...

    What would you do if...

    Suppose you are the captain of a cricket team.. You have a very talented top order batsman in your side, a match winner (say someone like Kevin Pieterson or Michael Clarke) who hasn't scored a century in the last two years. However, he still averages about 45 during the last 2 years because he...

    Who would be your number 3 in your test team?

    You are the captain of a test team. You have to pick a batsman at number 3. Your options are 1) Ricky Ponting 2) Rahul Dravid 3) Jacques Kallis Now this is not necessarily NOW hence Ponting's and Dravid's current poor form does not count. Say this is an imaginary period where Ponting is at...
