    Pat Cummings is father of Joe Roots. 14 dismissals already and counting.

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Yeah I think it might have been.

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    With the series moving to Jamaica, my mind turned to the former CW member who used to post in the style of a Rastafarian but in fact was a white teenager from the British Midlands. Can anyone remember who that sad soul was?

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    He’s from Yorkshire tbf. What’s to smile about?

    Is this photoshopped? Hard to believe Boycott ever smiles.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Game is shaping up nicely after a couple of days. Love a compelling mid-table clash.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Yeah it seems a goodish score to me too given the way it played yesterday.

    Yeah but for example if you are ranking players you must inherently put varying weight on where they scored runs, when and against whom. So for example when the Aus selectors were picking blokes in the 80s and 90s, they decided Shield runs at Adelaide were worth squat because it was so flat...

    Well that was the case until 1989 because he had a **** side. The SA side Kallis played in was never as **** as 80s Aus. Few teams were. 250 was often a good day

    Why?

    Border was many things but a stats padder he was not. Only time he made wanker runs in his career was the 200 on the 93 Ashes tour.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Embarrassing India let cArse make 50. Deserve to lose for doing so.

    They aren’t. I know they aren’t because no one’s are. These things are always subjective, even if it’s the standardised weighting you give to some or all of the inputs you rely on to rank players. And even if they were consistent, why do you see that as some kind of strength? It’s like ranking...

    Not all of them. These things are relative. Kallis was a boring stats padder. Really never feared him with bat or ball against us, and we were, are and always will be the benchmark. “Ho hum, Jacques made a slow fifty. Whoop de do. We still rolled them for 250 etc etc” Dravid is one of my...

    Well they aren’t all called atgs by me, and that’s the important thing tbh

    It wasn’t affective, but was certainly effective. Attention to detail please.

    What are you dribbling about? I’ve posted in this thread saying Ponting’s record in India is bad. Also a word to the wise - India’s bowling attack in India during the era Ponting played was incredibly effective. Root will play the same shots here as he has previously because they’re embedded...

    Not unless he really dominates the series, and even then I won't apologize because he's been woeful for over a decade here in any event. By your reasoning (such as it is), Ponting making a ton on his next to last tour of India means all is forgiven re his record there. It obviously isn't.

    Harry brook era

    Hey look fellas, this ****'s got chat gpt. Still has no idea about cricket though. Root has failed to make a hundred in three tours to the most important and consistently the most successful rival nation he plays against. He has never won a test here. He captained his side to all but a white...

    Same goes for comparing him with Ponting. Just embarrassing. Root has genuinely done nothing of significance out here in three tours other than **** himself as he arrives at customs. He's a dab cutting, effete walking wicket out here and nothing he's done has changed that.
