    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    As Stead was a middle-order bat who made a good fist of opening, he probably thinks everyone should be able to do it...

    Sri Lanka in Bangladesh: 2022

    316 out of 348 runs from the bat made by two players, that's 91%. Can't be too many completed innings with a higher proportion of runs scored by two players, other than maybe some very low scores.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Didn't Junaid Siddiq debut with Tamim in that series - they had one magic session at Dunedin before crumbling the following day? Junaid also better than Javed Omar. But yeah, Habibul opens in the Bangladesh all time team... Tamim Habibul Mominul Mushfiqur Shakib al H Mahmudullah Liton Das *...

    Who is Pakistan's greatest spin bowler?

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Yes the only other contender for no. 3 is Barrington (or whichever of Hutton or Sutcliffe isn't opening). Barrington averaged 77 at number 3. (But also has a hole in his record vs West Indies, like Hammond.)

    Who is/was the ultimate, most proficient and masterful medium-paced-dibbly-dobbler?

    It's a role that seems to have disappeared. Nowadays batsmen who bowl part-time tend to bowl spin a la Root, Williamson, Smith. I had a look at tests played around 1999-2000 (since that seemed to be peak England dibbly selections..) and top 6 batsmen who bowled a reasonable amount, or were...

    *Official* England in West Indies 2022

    Not being able to watch this - is the tail sticking around just the ball being older, or is batting not quite as hard as the top order made it look?

    CW's Ranking of Batsmen (Tests)

    Just checked the list.... Mohammad Yousuf anyone? Along with Hussey, I think he's the only one missing with a 50+ average and a long career. Bruce Mitchell a notable absentee too...
