    Cricketweb's twenty greatest ODI players of all time

    Was thinking about the question of which "all rounder" to put in the Australian team, which lead me to think about on Australian team where everyone does both... But the question is along the lines of the above conversation, how much do you value all rounders, what does a batman’s bowling add to...

    No ball -bowling off the wrong foot

    Goughy, Thanks for the answer. It does come down to delivery stride. Most people land on the right and then onto their left, lifting their right foot before the ball is released. If your bowling off the wrong foot, then in some sense you land the left, then the right, and lift the left before...

    No ball -bowling off the wrong foot

    If a right hand bowlers bowls off the wrong foot, letting go of the ball before the left foot lands, which foot should count as his front foot for a no ball? ,

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

    Clearly Australia are concerned about the batting and are looking to strenghten were the team score by further improving the tail by including Agar, so we can keep picking crud in the top 6. Johnson, Harris, Agar, Lyon is a strong tail and that is where our runs are coming from, so we can we...

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    Ok so we have gone from the batting side having the call on safe conditions in regards to light to effectively the fielding side having the call. Once you request, "Would you bring spinners on", you have ceded the call on whether play goes on to the fielding captain. Yes if he wants to keep...

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    I know its left feild but given his CC form I keep hoping Katich is drafted. Watson Rogers Katich Hughes Clarke Smith Although to keep them from batting together we might have to have Kat to open and Clarke at 6

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    So that leaves the Patto at 11 then Agar Siddle Harris Pattinson I wonder what the highest career average without a 50 is, Pattinson sitting on 28.6 and if he keeps batting at 11 he'll get a lot of NO's

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia 2012/2013

    Snicko shows the sound came after the ball had passed the bat. So not out by on field umpire, no hot spot and a faint sound after the ball has passed. There goes that guys career.

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    Expect Australia to get about 420 and be bowled out around lunch on day 5. Clarke is in incredible form, Hussey has been in form. Wade, Hasting, Johnson, Starc, Lyon is a strong tail. Saffers only have 4 front line bowlers and no Kallis bowling so they will tire. Warner 70 Cowan 20 Watson 5...

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    They are both computer generated estimates of where the ball is, unless they place a tracking chip inside the ball. Still think the unpire should be able to have some leeway to punish pointless padding away. It is batting not padding.

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    It used to be that umpires would allow a couple of close calls go, but if you kept relentlessly padding away they would eventually give it, just to make people use their bat. Interesting dicussion on what pitching in line means, I had never really thought it through before but the review is...

    Ok below this is not the ATG Aus team I would pick Hayden Barnes Bradman G Chappell Ponting S Waugh Glichrist Miller Davidson Lindwall Warne But the challnege for other world teams is to pick a side that has an aggregate average that is over 500 (the above list is at 517) Keeper has to have...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Is number 8 a specialist position when picking a ATG team Having read some of the various all time threads, it appears that the concensus seems to be pick the four best bowlers regardless of the team balance.(eg number of spinners in Eng ATG). In normal teams there is generally an expectation...

    Australian ATG Team- Open Voting

    Was thinking about the choice to pick Miller to fit in two spinners... The thought came to me, if Watson had have been available and playing earlier would Australia have chose to regularly play MacGill and Warne in every test. Would McGrath, Gillespie/Lee, Warne, MacGill, Watson Been a better...

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    If they're not going to pick Lyon (which I think they will) and going 4 pace bowlers and Watson lacks variety, why not give McDonald a go. Played in test series win against the Saffers. Less likely to get carted then Lyon, will bowls stack of overs Has an FC bowling average in line with most og...
