    *Official* Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025

    I'm surprised the tournament itself hasn't been called off considering the situation.

    What is the legacy of Rohit Sharma in test cricket?

    Strictly decent. Could've been a great, which is a pretty big jump/assumption from "strictly decent", but all the talent in the world means nothing without the bloodymindedness required to make something of it. Rohit showed it occasionally at home but was hopelessly cavalier on too many other...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Yeah he used to be a monster but then they Kane-o-fied him and he was never the same. WWE simply doesn't know how to handle big guys once the initial shock n awe phase is over. The guys themselves think they have comic chops that deserve to be highlighted but the easiest way to ruin the mystique...

    Indian Cricket Dhaba

    lol why was he being so trenchant post-Australia then? Probably been told to go with some dignity intact. Anyway, happy retirement, thank you for your services, etc.

    ^Yep, best two bowlers in the country by a mile, top of the charts. As things should be.

    Yes, Samyukta Maharashtra faceoff again. Too bad there's not a single Marathi person in that MI side. A nice encapsulation of the wider status quo too :laugh:

    Why is subhman gill unable to suceed in test cricket

    He is averaging exactly as much as he should

    *Official* Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025

    Horror season for CSK and on course to becoming their worst ever. Literally no way to arrest downward spiralling momentum in a league like this.

    Bill Lawry vs Virender Sehwag

    Lawry never played against New Zealand? That's a strange one. Were the Kiwis outlawed at this time for The Great Moa (or some other bird of more recent vintage that I forget) Genocide? Sehwag is an ATG, probably the greatest ever, player/slaughterer of spin, no exaggeration. Like if you had a...

    Lara Vs Smith Vs Sachin (against spin Bowling)

    This is a fair appraisal. Sachin post-98 became a far different player of spin. Less keen to skip down, more adept at the paddle and slog sweeps. Lara remained swashbuckling till the end, Sachin became more surgical with age.

    Lara Vs Smith Vs Sachin (against spin Bowling)

    Why is this such a factor for you? Neither Lara/Sachin were inveterate padders/kickers, so doubt non-DRS helped them much in that regard. What else...that Smith was more likely to be given out by technology? That can't be a deciding criteria where ability is concerned. I think Lara and Sachin...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    I've never liked Hogan and that's from before his public stock started plummeting. No wonder Taker got as big as he did with his silent zombie gimmick. People must've been tired of this guy screaming and ranting and about to bust a haemorrhoid for no good reason.

    Viv Richards vs Muttiah Muralitharan

    Game's changed immeasurably since then though. Even assuming a Test-spamming nation like England continues playing as many Tests as they do, it's hard to imagine someone of the quality and endurance of an Anderson or Broad getting the chance to hone their skills in first-class cricket. For the...

    Lol he's already been awarded a Mercedes Benz. I was over the moon with a Hero Ranger bicycle at 14.

    Viv Richards vs Malcolm Marshall

    I don't know about objectivity but Viv quite literally was the face of Windies' golden age wasn't he? I doubt even Lara ever scaled those heights.

    Should Kohli be dropped for the English tour?

    Yeah, can't justify having him for the whole tour. He should get two Tests out of charity because he's Virat Kohli™, but should be dumped for the remaining games if he fails.

    Sachin / Bumrah Vs Smith/ Cummins

    I'd want Smith over Sachin. Sachin went missing in crunch situations a few too many times for my liking. Maybe that's prejudiced by how long he played for and how much we relied on him, but whatever. But Bumrah is too significant an upgrade on Cummins, and that's saying something, so he tilts...

    We're putting out some ungainly bludgeoners these days. Jaiswal and this kid together is a far cry from the days of Ganguly and Yuvraj.
