    *Official* New Zealand in England 2015

    How do you figure that? Don't recall NZ producing an array of quality spinners whose name wasn't Vettori in over 2 decades I have watched cricket. I can kind of see how you might expect the 2nd best world cup team to have somebody better but when the spinner of the best team is Xavier ****ing...

    "If McGrath doesn't step on that ball, we win the Ashes. Probably 5-0"

    I agree, Australia could have easily won 4-1, but there is no guarantee one test would have gone England's way :smartass:

    Chanderpaul dropped from WI squad (nominal retirement thread)

    What an extremely bad and insulting comparison.

    Pietersen vs Sangakkara

    Because we all know ball tampering and reverse swinging beamers are the same as time limit in test cricket.

    Pietersen vs Sangakkara

    I don't think anybody has ever said that was a ****ty minow-bashing innings only played to boost his average. But can't just not acknowledge how difficult it is for bowlers in that type of conditions. I would say the recent Aus-Ind series is an extremely annoying example how the batsmen loving...

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    I don't think it's ever been particularly true as far as I have been watching cricket since the 90's. The only difference has been that SC pitches consistently offer turn despite being flat. And that doesn't mean anybody is calling them all viciously spinning dustbowls either, which is another...

    Which team will miss out on the Champions Trophy?

    Pietersen vs Sangakkara

    If we there going there, In what universe was Sri Lanka facing an ATG bowling line up against Lara and co. in 2001? I doesn't matter how great your bowling line up is, roads like one in Hobart is extremely difficult to be successful in for every bowler. Don't even know why I keep having to...

    England are playing 10 ODIs this summer

    I like the idea of 3 top teams and a minnow, which means include Ban or ZIm along with the associates too. I'm of the opinion that a side like WI would benefit from it these days as well.

    Pietersen vs Sangakkara

    So what would life be like if World War 1 never happened? In fact what even suggests that it would have been much different considering evidence suggests your average against the best team of your era is not that far away from where your career average ends up, no matter how many opposition you...

    Bangladesh ODI watch

    Well apart from Bangladesh (which sounds ironic now), the only thing that set them apart from WI was really that Wahab Riaz spell, which I honestly doubt he can duplicate. Not really that much of a difference between them and WI otherwise. The one advantage they had in the WC was the fact was...

    Pietersen vs Sangakkara

    Veggies are for wimps. Meat is the manly man's discussion.

    Forum sweepstake: Who will be James Anderson's 400th Test wicket?

    WG Grace.

    Pietersen vs Sangakkara

    Here's a food thought, I think what affects people's thinking that Sangakkara is not as good as some of the other ATG batsmen is that a lot of his most talked about knocks has come in games where other batmen (either from his own team, or opposition, or both) has also managed to put up big...

    Cricketweb's twenty greatest ODI players of all time

    You take ratings and opinions of people here way too seriously if you are actually counting the points and putting weight on them. Opinions here are biased and filled with favoritism just like everywhere else. It's nowhere near the level of a place like the Youtube comments section or other...

    All time best ODI team

    Mike Hussey was kind of like the Bevan of his era. I think Hussey himself rates Bevan higher, not to say that it actually means anything apart from him being a humble guy. Neither are wrong choices in that spot. I think it only tells you of the quality and depth of Australia when one of them...

    All time best ODI team

    Are we going to pretend like Wisden isn't biased in it's ratings like just about everybody else?

    Who are the biggest hitters in the game?

    Reckon he was hitting the spinner for a six almost every test late in his career. It's a shame T20 cricket didn't hit off early in his career. Would have massively improved his reputation as a player.

    Ricky Ponting vs. Kumar Sangakkara (ODIs)

    I doubt your much different. I have a feeling you bring up Ponitng and Warne's record in India every time you can.
