    All-Time World XIs: Discussion Thread

    I'm with @kyear2 on this one. Flower hardly ranks as a "Very good" keeper. A fine batsman for his team but his sometimes untidy work spread through his team's fielding.

    All-Time World XIs: Discussion Thread

    The obsession on CW with picking batsmen who are part-time keepers has been something I've noticed during my time here. Not only in selections such as this but in drafts. Truly great keepers such as Knott, Ames, Healy are all more than adequate batsmen and their glovework sets the standard for...

    So he was a delight to watch. I'm not arguing with that. I just like to point out that he was far better as a middle order player than as an opener - as his record bears testimony.

    Once again, CW members vote for Victor Trumper as an opener. He may have played the majority of his innings as an opener but he was far more effective in the middle order. Consider these stats. Trumper's average when opening: 33.00 Trumper's average when batting 3-6: 53.07 Having him open in the...

    I'm a fan of Lillee, but my vote for the 3rd pacer is Garner as this was his forte.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    I think we put too much store in centuries. According to @Ju7 's logic, if Root scores 101 in Australia next Ashes he's an ATG. If his best effort is 99 then he only qualifies as world class.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Comparing Root with Warner is odious. Some are doing it simply because both have failed to achieve centuries when playing away in Ashes series. While Root's performances in Australia have been below par (average 35.7), his average in Australia is superior to Warner's in England (26.5), India...
