    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    He was A.C. Russell in scorecards during his career (and later - I have a book from the 50s which has references to A.C. Russell, H. Makepeace, E. Tyldesley, L.G. Berry and a few other sets of initials that you don't get in modern books. Though as I've seen pointed out, if you insist on going by...

    Continent draft

    Yeah, I wondered about that - though it's not obvious which of the West Indies would count as North America... Trinidad is literally closer to Venezuela than it is to Tobago, for instance.

    Continent draft

    Simple draft proposal: Your team (picked for a FC match) must contain at least* 2 players from each continent (Africa, America, Asia, Australasia, Europe); where the continent a player is "from" is determined by the team they played for (or would have played for. No Bradman, as usual. *so, 3...

    England players and selection discussion thread

    That seems to be true for Illingworth (his batting also improved), though I don't know it also follows for his FC stats. Emburey's bowling was OK in his first two post-ban series (19@28 in the 1985 Ashes, 14@32 in the 1985-6 series in WI), which takes him up to halfway: after that, his average...

    England players and selection discussion thread

    I wouldn't say that 31 is a slightly lower average than 37 (unless you'd also say that Moeen was only a slightly better batter than they were). FWIW, the overall batting averages in matches where Moeen/Illingworth played are virtually the same, but those of England's opponents were lower against...

    Most overrated match performances

    From the same match, Bradman's 270 being rated by Wisden the greatest innings of all time, largely (AFAICT) because the scores in the match had been low up to that point - but by the time he came in, the wicket had become pretty easy to bat on; hence Fingleton managed to stay with him for 6...

    Matches Played Draft

    Doesn't Ashwin (100 Tests) count as my second 75-100 pick, with Inzamam (120) as my 100-120 pick (and Waugh as my 120+ pick)?
