    Is there ANY hope of a West Indian test cricket resurgence?

    Short answer, no. Pretty soon the invites from Australia and England will dry up and they'll be playing Banglesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe if they can be bothered. I guess the WICB will continue to get paid only as long as they keep playing, so I guess they won't completely disappear as there...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia 2015/16

    I know Darren Sammy wasn't a great cricketer, but at least when he played you could tell he cared, and he tried his best at all times. And he generally managed to get nearly all of his team doing likewise. Plus he was an excellent fielder. I think the same of Holder, but I'm not sure he can...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia 2015/16

    I get your point but I don't actually think this one was a 50-50 - it was miles high. As a (not very good club) batsman, I would have been beaten all ends up hundreds of times by booming inswingers and off-cutters or spinners, balls which were doing too much to hit the stumps. I'd feel...

    Based on recent performances, Roach and Brathwaite should just swap roles - Roach can see off the new-ball, Brathwaite can do the bowling.

    Er no. If batsmen deserved to be out every time they missed a ball, tests would be all over in 4 sessions.

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2015

    The moment I heard Prasad was heading home I should have gone and put some serious money on Guptill for a 100. He's good against attacks as bad as this (which is a talent, to be fair).... How the hell was that lbw not out? Hit on the crease with 47% of the ball hitting the stumps. The review...

    ***Official*** South Africa in India 2015

    14 overs to play... will India ask for the extra half hour? I think Amla and de Villiers should come out to open.... got to be better than when Ashwin and Jadeja have got their rhythm and a couple of wickets behind them...

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    If both Ballance and Compton bat as they did just before they were dropped from the test side... against Steyn, Morkel and Philander.... this could be seriously embarassing. Trust both have turned a corner.

    Which cricketers have obtained a new highest score the most times?

    John Traicos held his top score of 5* from his debut innings in Feb 1970 all the way through his career, which ended in March 1993....

    Which cricketers have obtained a new highest score the most times?

    Sunny Gavaskar has an interesting history in this regard. Despite starting with a 65, he managed to post 6 new top scores in his first 8 innings. Took him 8 years to better that 8th inning 220 (I can't be arsed trying to count tests sorry), then by just one run, and another four before he...

    Hmm. There's been a hint of movement and that one carried to slip easily enough.... this is not good news for NZ overall....

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

    I know after a couple of years of Fulton/Rutherford there isn't much in the way of alternatives, but Guptill's non-minnow average is currently 24.99. In fact if you class the Windies as minnows his average against non-minnows is under 22. Brownlie should definitely be in the team.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    On the subject of wicket-keepers I've often wondered about Billy Murdoch, whose batting average of 30+ was miles ahead of keepers of his time (in fact, would it be the highest of any Australian keeper for 100 years? Wayne Phillips maybe just ahead?). I understand he played often as batsman...

    Over by 30 XI

    On reading the thread I thought Stewie Dempster, who did indeed play his last test by 30, but he played for various sides in England up to the war so he doesn't count. I was surprised to learn that after the war he came back to New Zealand and was picked for a test, but he was injured and...
