    Ashes 2019 England Squad

    Rashid was arguably England's best bowler in Bang and India, obviously Ali is competition for him. Why was he dropped again? And do you really think a man who will soon surpass 500 FC wickets shouldn't be given more than 10 tests? That's just ridiculous thinking and the type of stuff that is...

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    Oh come on! Apart from flower, that is a very useful ODI side.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    This match was basically an appetiser. Guptill was scratching his way into form, Monro is obviously in form, as if Kane and expect something big from Taylor down the line. All the while, Pak's bowlers look to be firing up and will only get more consistent, plus Ali impressed me, because I did...

    Who has the best top 6 between india, australia and south africa ?

    It is Australia, India and then SA. Amla is starting to fade away, ABD might not be a regular and the others are not at the highest level consistently enough. Aus have Warner and Smith, supplemented by Khawaja and Bancroft. India have Pujara and Kohli, who the others can play around. But, I...

    Role of leg/wrist spinners in limited overs cricket

    There have been a fair few top class offies in recent times too but yes, the trend is moving towards leggies and/or chinamen. They are picking up wickets so why not?

    Hasan Ali requires dry, hot conditions and NZ looks to be the opposite at this time. I think Amir and Raees will likely do better.

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    Also, if the next players make their picks, can they also picks for round 7 (if they are the first picks there)? Just so we can keep this moving because it had a very good pace, but it's slowed down today...just as I have time off haha

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    Calm down mate, plus I mentioned them in relation to a separate discussion but fine. But the issue isn't how a team may perform, the issue here is world class players that are eligible to be picked. I just mentioned the names you obviously didn't know. That includes at least 2 world class...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    A very entertaining day of test cricket, which at times seemed to play out like an ODI. Pujara is the man for a crisis in this Indian side and Sharma has some form to capitalise on. I bet they both go on and score at least another 80 runs together.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    Some of the positions the batsmen got themselves into were horrendous. And it's a decent attack from India, nothing special about bowlers averaging 30-40, so a batting line up should do better than this really. That's not to negate a good bowling pitch but it puts the saffers fall from their...

    Quick question, why is Ashwin playing if he is only going to bowl 5 overs?

    Biggest Hitters Ever

    Afridi and Gayle by miles and the fact that they hit BIG shots on a regular basis makes them even more special. Gilly, Mac, Hayden and Freddie all deserve a shout too.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    Haha Well look, you have been on this forum longer than me, message one of the mods and get this stickied. I mean, this is a series with Kane, Guptill, Boult, Ali, Zaman, Sarfraz, Shadab and so on, it shouldn't take this long to be stickied. With the Ashes being a total bore for the most part...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    Where's that guy who was complaining when I said the saffers batting line up was lacking? I'm glad the Indian bowlers have done well against a complacent batting line up that basically behaved like "oh, it's a home pitch, we can pick whatever". Having said that, with some juice left in the...

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    I'm still shocked by some of the omissions so far...and also glad because I then get to make some world class bowling picks.

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    So, you oculdnt think of a way to criticise Akram, Waqar, Inzy, Yousuf, Anwar, Ajmal and the rest. Basically proves my point. But yeah "thin resources".

    Placing our bets on "Test Cricket's Young Fab Four"

    It's a crime that Azhar Ali is oft omitted from these discussions but I guess a lot of that is because the so called fab four all came about in the test/ODI/T20 arena in and around each other. I know Kohli came about earlier but his test debut and number of matches match the others. Also...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    Hopefully it does not rain. This could be a standout ODI series between 2 very good limited overs sides. Plus, the thread should be stickied, considering it is about a series with some of the world's leading cricketers taking part...on a cricket forum.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    Yes, Rahane being left out is odd then again, I have followed the Indian selection discussion, is he injured? As for Sharma, the fact that he still gets picked in test squads or is even discusses is probably cricket's greatest joke. Anyway, bad decision to bat first on a pitch with grass and...

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    It's not about reading, it's about actually watching the game of cricket. Akram, Waqar, Yousuf, Inzy, Anwar, Saqlain, Ajmal, Gul, Asif, Kamran, Misbah are just a few all eligible to be picked in this draft.
