    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    Topley can, oh nevermind - he gets injured all the time! there probably are, England just seem to pick either the ones with reputations exceed output or crocks - or both! can't say as I'd have been looking at any that played yesterday bar Ahmed

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    he has decent T20i figures, my point wasn't "he is awesome in IPL" just given the IPL doens't bother much with England players to play that many games he must be rated in that format

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    *4 overs, his T20 record is good as his number of games in IPL for an England cricketer (of sorts) would show, my issue is he's not that good of a bowler and his batting not nearly solid enough that he fits anywhere in the order - he's no 7-8 batsman for this format and no 9-10 bowler I've...

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    the only conclusion I could draw was to give him a further chance in non-Indian conditions but he's looking more and more like the noughties bits n pieces selections, can bat, can bowl, rarely does either with any great prowess and doesn't chip away with consistent performances now "boasts" an...

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    The case with too many England batsmen, and way too much focus by some to maintain an SR of over 100 instead of more focus on keeping their wicket intact, partnerships going and thus maybe, just maybe, going on to make a big total on a pitch instead of a more average one ultimately though...

    The Unpopular Opinions Thread

    I'd add India to that, any country where home dominance is in no small part down to their pitches and simply noone affords the time any more to play warm ups necessary to get a feel for them are. May be only way England can be competitive, to make swing friendly pitches, and touring teams can...

    *Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

    odd comment to ref KW when he made a hundred first innings and noone else yet has made more than low 40s, Mitchell 44no the next highest from the kiwis

    *Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

    I think there's a Maxwell's chance in ODIs forever of Mitchell repeating said feat and launching a one man winning attack to take the side home. not saying he'd need to score a double, but that such one man basically carrying the innings from 7+ down needing well over 100 are so rare it is...

    *Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

    de-spit-able (him)! people try and get away with all sorts, not singling out or excluding any country from it, and how much gain it gives may simply be down to luck. (wasn't the saliva thing covid related or something rather than advantage, and can you still apply other things no sweat?

    Who Do you Think will win the second T20 Match Between India and Australia

    was completely unexpected there being no draw, I'm guessing the aussies are 'drowning their sorrows' at this loss by drinking lots of lager out of a World Cup........

    Who Do you Think will win the second T20 Match Between India and Australia

    I'm hoping they see this thread and just award it according to the poll and don't bother playing

    Who Do you Think will win the second T20 Match Between India and Australia

    where's the "was this really worth JAFT20I thread and poll?" option I mean why not have a thread to vote who will get the HS, who will have the BB, who will win the toss, who will bat first, vote your XIs etc etc serious suggestion this forum should have threads need approval, if only for...

    *Official* Women's Cricket discussion thread

    makes no sense, little if you prefer, they'll be the same distance for both sides so essentially they are saying boundaries are the be all and end all of entertainment and/or good cricket hitting the ball to the boundary isn't necessarily a feat of strength as much as timing I always did laugh...

    ***Official*** The Hundred 2023 Thread

    I love the blame on the tundra and lack of 50 overs cricket in England for their failing, the same set of players more or less that won on home soil in 2019, stuck with the same basic set of ageing (4 years older, funny that) players on a different set of surfaces, massively underperformed and...

    ***Official***THE FINAL- India vs Australia - November 19th - Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad (D/N)

    erm, nah. the 10 overs per bowler restriction is a lot cleverer than 80% of cricket fans, if you don't have it sides will just load up extra batsman/batsmen and nullify the 'balance' if you want better balance then sides should pick better bowlers, and use them better also. Maybe instead of...

    IR Bell pretty little fifties thread

    it was good of you to try, most just go on a forum, whinge, snipe, argue, throw hissy fits and let someone else do all the hard work only seen a few names on here from there, is a somewhat more hostile forum but I guess the more regulars the more likely that is - wouldn't have found this one...

    Where do you rank Shivnarine Chanderpaul in all-time best batsmen?

    I think there's a tendency to think of *insert name of cricketer* fondly and place him on a much higher pedestal than deserves, although even I'd probably think WGAF and make a wild estimate rather than work out more methodically a list of names would be higher awkward B to get out, about the...

    Where do you rank Shivnarine Chanderpaul in all-time best batsmen?

    curious as to your 5 West Indies batsmen ahead of shandy paul. obviously depends which era you include or exclude, guessing probably Richards, Haynes, Greenidge, if further back then a few aside from the obvious Sobers
