    What is the best 'below ATG' XI?

    A problem with these xis is if your keeper is averaging under 25, and you can only pick one allrounder, you have a very weak tail. So your allrounder should be more like a 40-40 average player than a 30-31 sort of player. So more like 6 full-on batsmen are needed, one or two of who are...

    The "have started their test careers quite well" eleven of late : Conway Abdullah S Saud Shakeel (i know he's not a 3...) Brook Mitchell Carey * (/Blundell) Jamieson Axar Patel Jansen Robinson Boland Jayasuriya 12th man.

    *Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

    Abdullah is going to get dropped soon isn't he so he can join Ahmed Shehzad and Abid Ali as Pakistani openers (with names starting with A) who have very good averages but short careers, so those of us not in the know wonder what happened and why they didn't play more...

    Countdown to Pant breaking the record for most dismissals in the 90s in tests

    Pant was barely born in the 90s....

    *Official* Bangladesh v India 2022/23

    Anyone know why Kohli was so angry after his dismissal? BTW it was an excellent catch from Mominul, moving with the batsman - in contrast with the lack of success Kohli had earlier in the day attempting to move at slip to anticipate the batsmen's shot.

    *Official* Bangladesh v India 2022/23

    Well this is interesting. England would have knocked them off by now. I imagine Pant and Iyer will try something similar...

    *Official* Bangladesh v India 2022/23

    Mominul's last 9 test innings were a spectacular 0-2-6-5-2-9-0-0-4 Just checked his recent form - 92 runs in four innings in Bang first class comp, then 29 runs in three 50 over games, and most recently 42 runs in four innings against India A. So no comeback in the foreseeable future you'd think.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    And to think everyone used to say that to win on flat decks you needed leg-spin and outright pace. Turns out part time offspinners then two 125-130 km/h merchants will do it...

    ATUXIs (90s-now)

    If DRS had been around Greatbatch may not have got past his first few tests. I think Emburey hit a plonked-down front pad several times in that desperately dull series but kiwi umpires would not give you out if you got a stride in... But not sure his decline means he was undeserving - at...

    Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka - 2022

    this is ridiculous that they're still batting. Kind of hope Pakistan are 8 or 9 down come stumps tomorrow to punish them...

    Hobbs or Hutton?

    Just to comment on the era averages. One reason the 50s has such a low average is that New Zealand's batting was utterly dire in that decade. They averaged less than 20 per wicket. Exclude them and Pakistan in their debut decade, and the overall average goes up to over 30. That said, it is...

    Not sure I get India's tactics here with the new ball 5 overs away. I'd have thought you'd have taken every single on offer...
