    50 greatest cricketers since 1970

    All 4 below any of the batsmen I named frankly quite easily. Think Greenidge is the lowest batsman, 2nd would be Crowe. Easily better than them for me. Amla above them as well for me.

    50 greatest cricketers since 1970

    ...Matthew Hayden - All format great and a test average of 50 for opener is Gold. Alastair Cook - Amazing longevity and test series wins in Australia and India being standout performer Graeme Smith - Legendary captain and phenomenal match winner in Tests especially while chasing in 4th innings.

    Choose one : Donald, Steyn & Holding vs O'Reilly, Murali & Warne

    Please live in reality. Donald/Steyn/Holding are slicing through almost any lineup you can bring. And it's three bowlers who can rotate. Otherwise why aren't Steyn and Donald dropping dead in their own careers? And it's such a jump in logic to say that whenever pacers mop up spinners will do...

    ...close. The key point here is that if it's a close game, Donald/Steyn/Holding are going to be dead by the second new ball, let alone the second innings. If it's not a close game because the pacers mop things up quickly then all else equal there's no reason why the spinners wouldn't run riot...

    Choose one : Donald, Steyn & Holding vs O'Reilly, Murali & Warne

    The 3 pacers without bowling support won't be very penetrative for long. Bowling teams out is hard in Tests cricket. The average innings score is something like 300. Even if you go with 200, your bowlers will need to bowl on average around 400 balls, so 67 overs. Good luck getting 67 overs...

    Unless it's a spinning surface, I would still favor the pacers then.

    Day 5 may not exist if the pavers dominate day one though three.

    Simple reason for spinners: Day 5, 4th innings.

    Choose one : Donald, Steyn & Holding vs O'Reilly, Murali & Warne

    Simple reason for pacers: Day 1, 1st innings. It's not close to which type of bowlers are more effective in setting up games.

    Victor Trumper vs Bruce Mitchell

    Trumper sucked as an opener. He was basically average Trumper as an opener: 32 matches 52 innings 1650 @ 33.00 Other openers in his matches (note: I haven’t filtered it completely for only those 32 matches, I’d have to go further into detail, I’ve done it for the period he opened - 1901-12 -...

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Conveniently forgetting that Kohli edged behind in the 2nd innings at the Basin when only on about 10 runs and the umpire didn’t give it. With the toss, there was talk of the visiting teams getting to choose if they wanted to bowl, otherwise a toss was made (they used this in the County...

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    It's odd because he's made his name in the IPL off being one of the best death hitters going around. Just hasn't been able to kick on when set this series.

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    Still think Stubbs should be at 3. Push Pretorius and Brevis down one. Remove Rassie from the team... And yes I know he is doing okay now...

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    The more I watch of Stubbs the more I think he should be higher up the order. Doesn’t necessarily cut loose the way Brevis can at the start of an innings.

    Greatest knock in each of the ODI World Cups

    Sorry but Dhoni had a better knock in the WC final 2011

    Greatest knock in each of the ODI World Cups

    Agree with most but Gambhir. Both Dhoni and Jayawardene were better in the same match. He threw his wicket away at a crucial time. Wanker. My choice would be KOB vs England. That was an epic knock in an epic win, one of the Greatest WC Group league upsets ever.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    ...RSA. There is a story where they played against Gilbert Jessop who hit balls out of the ground and down nearby streets. Apparently his innings was longer than it should've been because the West Indians were laughing so hard. Jessop repeated the performance later that year against Yorkshire...
