    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    No one would improve their averages batting on those wickets so yes. It's not the ideal scenario for someone who is looking to score some runs

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    So his average would be even worse if he'd had to bat on tough pitches? He averaged 9 from his 3 innings in CC Div 2 (neither of which were minefields).

    ...names in that list: Kallis throwing down over a 1,000 wicketless overs to be 3rd overall, only Carl Hooper remotely close to that number. If Broad, Anderson and Stokes can all have bowled that many wicketless innings, who did take the wickets??? I'm guessing the Waugh backyard was a road!

    Lol you even quoted wrong, it should have been the biggest victory ever , Ravindra could have got a triple hundred and still won the game with a day to spare

    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    ...2004. All it took was a half-decent left-arm spinner in Mohammad Rafique with some helpful conditions and they fell in a pile (see also Sri Lanka 1999, India 2001) Then the next game pitch was flatter and it was more what you'd expect. They won by an innings and only lost 4 wickets for the game

    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    How in the world did that happen lmao? An ocean separated Aussie 00s and Bangladesh 00s, and I'm not talking about the Indian Ocean.

    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    Also won a game in Bangladesh (I know, I know) off his own bat. Aus were 6-93 after BD made 427 in the first innings. They had no right winning that game but Gilly made 144 on a big spinning wicket out of a total of 269 Probably the 2nd most match-winning century of his career after the 149* at...

    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    Lol no Flower would be as a batsman. No way would he be keeping

    Why T20, why not T30?

    ...speed it up again by shortening the number of overs, and having more balls bowled from the same end. It could last a hundred balls each innings, as that's a little less than 20 overs. A hundred balls is a nice round number as well, and a hundred is a number people associate with things...

    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    Gilly ain't it in Asia though. But can Flower keep well on these wickets?

    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    Flower over Gilly? Not sure. Gilly to me was capable of matchchanging innings against top spin.

    "It's enough to just beat Zimbabwe" It was the 3rd largest innings victory of all time and our biggest. We didn't just beat them, it was a massacre already.

    Zim didn't last 180 overs in both innings of every test they played vs SA and NZ

    Sachin vs Viv against spin

    They aren't useless, but much they're much less valuable, which is also why I rate Akram lower than I used to. Ignoring them is anyday better than ignoring Nz and Sl anyway

    Sachin vs Viv against spin

    No it isn't unless you think tail wickets are useless and Akram isn't an ATG. Bedi is the 4th innings GoAT, and you can't be shocked that spinners did better in the 3rd and 4th Innings, especially given they were the sole bowlers almost without any pacers bowling the bulk in the 1st and 2nd...

    Saeed Anwar vs Sourav Ganguly

    I think you're ignoring the importance of strike rate here. Jayasuriya averaged 21 and 24 respectively against South Africa and Australia, but he was still a better ODI batter than both Sangakkara and Ganguly. Bro, limited-overs cricket is all about impact. Just think about this, for example...

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    It's a delusional obsession with incumbency. These people are blinded by how good Khawaja was 2 years ago that they are ignorant of his current level of ability and performance. He will get picked for the ashes and he will fail. There will definitely be Shield batsmen that would do better at...

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    Weatherald and Patterson both made good runs in the shield, while Khawaja (apart from one good innings) was mediocre at best over the last two years. He’s also almost 39. There’s not 20 guys but there’s a few who deserve a chance over Khawaja justifying why he’s still there on any criteria that...

    Saeed Anwar vs Sourav Ganguly

    ...get some brownie points in comparison but if you simply struggle in entire career then it's a huge black mark. Crossing 50 only once in 50+ innings and averaging 20 in entire career against two best sides should count as a huge negative. It's not some sub sample size, it's his entire career...

    Cue to the biggest over of the innings bowled by Greaves. Motie appears to have trapped Rizwan LBW. Given out but reviewed
