    Would you play Keith Miller in your Australia ATG XI?

    Would you play Keith Miller in your Australia ATG XI?

    I agree with Tyson and Trueman. Statham, Willis, Snow, Larwood (and even Anderson) are pretty good rather than 'not pretty'. Add spinners of the like of Laker, Verity, Underwood and Wardle and it's a more than competent attack.

    Would you play Keith Miller in your Australia ATG XI?

    A great line-up for a Second XI. The only change I'd make is Don Tallon as the 'keeper and batting at 10 behind Davidson, Lindwall and Cummins. Davidson regularly batted at 7 (or 8).

    Arthus Morris vs Hayden vs Trumper vs Simpson

    Despite the excuses re adverse conditions, it should be remembered that Trumper only averaged 33.0 when opening the batting and 48.8 when batting in the middle order. 5 of his 8 centuries came in the middle order yet some CW members persist with giving him a high rating as an opener. He was an...

    Would you play Keith Miller in your Australia ATG XI?

    Perhaps Smith might like another shot at opening. :laugh: 8-) This gives us a spot for Ponting.

    Would you play Keith Miller in your Australia ATG XI?

    A downgrade to any attack. Either Chappell or Border make way for Miller. My preference: Simpson Hayden Bradman Smith Ponting (or Border) Miller Gilchrist Davidson (left arm variety) Warne Lillee McGrath

    Virender Sehwag vs Anil Kumble

    No need for apologies. Just a simple misinterpretation/misunderstanding.

    Virender Sehwag vs Anil Kumble

    What don't you understand about the phrase "on this basis"? It was you who wanted to know if there was consistency of CW consensus. (see your second post) I was looking at CW consensus across formats. If you wanted to know my opinion on Sehwag v Kumble I would simply say this is another...

    Virender Sehwag vs Anil Kumble

    Interestingly they rate similarly in the 2024 Batsmen (Sehwag @ 39) and 2024 Bowler (Kumble @ 40) polls. However, if we take into consideration their rolls (opener v spinner), Sehwag is the 9th ranked opener and Kumble the 12th ranked spinner (down from 8th in the 2022 Spinner Poll). On this...

    Umpires v DRS in 2024

    The following article compares the Test umpires of 2024 and the percentage of their decisions overturned on appeal by DRS. Joel Wilso has by far the highest percentage of decisions overturned (35.4%). At the other end of the scale, Marais Erasmus (14.3%) and Richard Illingworth (15.8%) have the...

    Is Jasprit Bumrah a chucker?

    The Portus report and the 2004 ICC law change were made well after Daryl Hair called Murali in 1996. As the law stood at the time, Hair's call was correct. Subsequent tests of Murali and the Portus report and a revised law change legitimised Murali's action. Murali was never a scapegoat, he was...

    Mitch Marsh

    How easily we forget that Marsh won last year's Alan Border Medal. His performances in the last Ashes series warranted some perseverance but, after this BG series it's time to allow him to concentrate on white ball cricket.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Best pace bowling in Australia? By Australians: Scott Boland (In 8 Tests 39 @ 13.92 can't be overlooked) Pat Cummins (172 @ 20.03) D.K.Lillee (I rate him ahead of McGrath. Similar averages but against better batsmen) By visitors: Jasprit Bumrah (incredible figures) Curtly Ambrose (78 @ 19.79...
