    Worst playing XI from a Test

    Who do you think? Be creative and exclude Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

    Back In the Hunt: Jones hoping beyond hope

    Bowling Tactics

    What are everyone's fave strategies for bowling? I'm sick of rolling a side for 150 and then they score 550 after following on.

    The Latest Comparison - Ponting or Chappell?

    In light of Ponting's recent orgies of run-making, he's being bandied about as being superior to Greg Chappell (in terms of batsmanship, of course). Do you agree? Do they compare in fielding and captaincy as well?

    Battle of the Test Innings

    Considering that we've battled to death everything else possible, this is the only logical choice. I hope to have 64 innings to fight to the death. Some I've already thought of: VVS Laxman 281 v Australia, 2001 Garry Sobers 254 v Australia, 1971 Ian Botham 149* v Australia, 1981 Rahul Dravid...

    Top 5 bowling attacks - All Time

    No team can win a Test without taking 20 wickets (except Australia in Sydney :p). Which combinations were the best at this difficult task? For mine: 1. Wasim, Waqar, Imran, Mushtaq Ahmed (1992) 2. Marshall, Garner, Holding, Croft (1983) 3. McGrath, Gillespie, Lee, Warne (2001) 4. Lillee...

    Most Undeserved Averages/Statistics

    Who on the international cricket stage has stats that belie their true ability, for better or worse? It's hard to go past Gayle, for one. Conversely, I think Harmison's statistics have been inflated out of proportion.

    All-time best one-day kits

    What do we, the people, believe are the best sets of pyjamas ever to be paraded in front of 40,000 people? Personally I liked the Australian one in 1998/99 (The one that was mostly green), the English uniform which was royal blue and dark blue and the Indian and Sri Lankan uniforms in the 1999...

    The Fielding XI

    Batting and bowling ability is utterly irrelevant in this thread - what's important, though, is that all fielding positions are covered. 1. Bob Simpson - first slip 2. Mark Taylor - third slip 3. David Gower - square leg 4. Mark Waugh - second slip 5. Colin Bland - cover 6. Jonty Rhodes - point...

    Path of Self-Destruction: A Season (or Ten) with Northants

    Path of Self-Destruction: A Season (or Ten) with Northants [ICC 2005 saga] After playing for five years or so with Gloucestershire, it was apparent that unbridled, deserved success clearly wasn't my style. So as soon as I received the golden handshake from the pimply receptionist at 'The County...

    The Unsung Awards

    This is where the people who contribute significantly to a match (but are overshadowed by hundreds, five-fors and collapses) are given the recognition they deserve, as appropriated by you. The awards include: Tailender of the Year Catch of the Year Drop of the Year Run-out of the Year Overall...

    The England Captaincy

    No idea how I got offered this (9th in CC, 13th in NL) but accepted anyway. Just a few questions: 1. Is it worth it? 2. Do you get any bonuses with it? 3. When can I resign? Thanks in advance.

    Sobers - A Batting Allrounder?!

    I recently discovered that Sobers averages more than Jacques Kallis with the ball (34 to 31). Time and again I hear that Sobers was the most balanced allrounder that ever lived. Frankly, I'm amazed that this hasn't been scrutinised to great extent in this forum. Can anyone explain to me what...

    The Perfect Cricketer

    This is a game that involves naming aspects of players that they pull off unusually well in a quest to build the 'perfect' cricketer. For instance, The perfect cricketer would have........the conversion rate of Stephen Fleming An outswinger like Shane Watson The concentration of Shahid Afridi...

    Safest Records

    Cricketing records are broken every day. There are some, though, which may last millennia (unless Bradman's DNA is injected into some kid, Gattaca-style). Which records are unlikely to be broken in the next 50 years? Some are: RE Foster's 287* on debut Bradman's average of 99.94 Jim Laker's...

    Stupid Question from an Up-and-Comer

    In Coaching, what's the difference between Batting Practice and Batting Technique (and also their bowling counterparts?) When you're finished laughing, could I trouble you to answer it?
