    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Certainly easier to pick a not-so-nice xi than a nice one. (How have we got this far into this topic and not seen KP mentioned?) Being a top performer in a sport that's so focused on individual performance seems to favour a certain selfish type, no? For what it's worth, Cook was a complete...

    Worst Player to Play 100 Tests?

    Worth noting that if Vettori played his career with DRS, then his average would have been substantially lower. Can't recall any bowler less likely to win a front-foot lbw than him despite the fact that he didn't turn it all that much (John Emburey might be in with a shout here, and Tuffers...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    If the pitch is really a slow seamer as stated above, all the Rashid talk might be a bit pointless (or at least can be deferred for a couple of weeks). England likely to do a 5x batsmen + Moeen + Stokes + Johnny + 3x seamers line-up? With Buttler apparently secure at 7, that would mean Moeen...

    *Official* South Africa Tour of Sri Lanka 2018

    On the story of Sri Lankan batting options for overseas tests - what's happening with Guneratne?

    Pandya vs CdG vs Holder vs Stokes vs Holder vs Chris Morris vs Marsh and whoever else

    Kevin O'Brien. Funny how it goes in cycles. Seem to remember when Kallis retired there seemed to be no seam all-rounders bar Shane Watson and folk thought that with the amount of cricket being played (and possibly the flat tracks prevalent) that they might be a dying breed. Now most teams seem...

    Worst regular all-rounder for a top side

    My go-to in this category is always David Capel who got an extended run to prove he wasn't the next Ian Botham. Averaged 15 with the bat often batting at 6, and 60 with the ball. England had a number of these players for a while there - Cowdrey's already been mentioned, add Irani and both...

    *Official* South Africa Tour of Sri Lanka 2018

    Bloke averages 23 in his last 20 tests. I think the selectors were right to look elsewhere.

    All Time South Africa XI game

    We'll get a split here of those taking an entire career into account vs those considering just the test career.... If Jimmy Cook can be placed this highy because of his exploits during the apartheid era then it seems illogical to exclude van der Bijl, le Roux and Rice. McGlew, Cullinan Vogler
