All-time Great XI - Voting system
Sorry but the NZ selection is kind of weird.... You've put Chris Pringle in there... Chris Pringle??????? 30 test wickets at an average of 46.... I think you're thinking of someone else. Dion Nash maybe? Tim Southee, Tony MacGibbon, Frank Cameron.... even Neil bloody Wagner.... Bruce...- Flametree

Re Athlai's three team question. John Reid must have been in his late 50's by the 1986 season so he probably wouldn't have been at his best. (Yes, I know he meant the other John Reid, but he did post John R Reid's batting stats... :)) As for the test series, we seem to have become a side...- Flametree

Prasad averages 16, about the same as Harbajan and Saqlain for instance who were a couple of subcontinent number 8's to cause NZ some problems. Sri Lanka had Vaas at number 8 for donkey's years, so I don't think the generalisation holds.- Flametree

Top Five Most Underrated Cricketers Ever.
Brian Statham is so under-rated that the first poster to mention him calls him "George" and several posters mention him afterwards but don't correct the name. Not so much under-rated as forgotten. Khan Mohammed is a good pick - his average was dented about 5 points in one innings (0-259 I...- Flametree

I kind of get the 6-batsmen, 5-bowler thing in theory, but does it really make sense when your 7 and 8 aren't genuine allrounders, and your number 1 and number 6 average about 26...- Flametree

Great-looking ground, and big boundaries, pitch looks great for batting.... but a requirement for a test ground should be sightscreens big enough that they don't need to be moved.....- Flametree

*** Official *** West Indies in South Africa 2014/15
But the second sound was perfectly aligned to the ball hitting the pocket, so the only conclusion is that the first sound occurred as it appeared, with the ball a good foot beyond the bat (and the sound was a muffly bump on Snicko, not a sharp spike as an edge would have been).- Flametree

Credit the Aussie selectors - after his 3 for 500 or whatever in the UAE, a few selection committees of recent vintage would have dropped Lyon like a shot. Nice to see him get some reward for a great few days work. Didn't look too likely when he had 1-100...- Flametree

You'd have to check the eligibility rules - didn't Cairns start life with Northern Districts? In fact, NZ players tend to move around a lot so one of the hardest parts of making up provincial all time xi's would be deciding on a method to allocate players to provinces.- Flametree
