    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    These state / county / province xi's are interesting in you have to decide whether to pick players who performed in test cricket vs for their province etc. Hirst's test record is decent but no more, but I was aware he's a legend for Yorkshire. I went with those who made a dent at test level...

    ***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

    Yeah cricinfo said Karn is only the second Indian spinner ever to debut away from home (I think that was it, it may have been away from subcontinent). No doubt there have been plenty of seam bowlers who got a test or two overseas and were never heard of again, but that seems only natural since...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Yorkshire would be contenders, particularly if someone could spray a hose on the wicket for a couple of hours before play.... Sutcliffe Boycott Hutton Leyland Jackson Rhodes Binks * Verity Trueman Appleyard Bowes Possibly not enough batting in the lower middle order, but it will take...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Anyone else think that was out - flicked the back of the bat on the way up?

    Astle's record is under serious threat here,,,

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Brilliant. There have been two or three "charge and heave" shots to the pace bowlers which were pretty ugly, but those aside, it's just been controlled hitting, with sensible shot selection. Very Sehwag-esque.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    This is dreadful from Pakistan but McCullum can't half make batting look easy when he gets in the mood.

    Suggest Your Cricket World Cup Format

    The purest format is 4x groups of 4 followed by knock-outs. But India and England won't ever agree to a format that might see them knocked out after 3 matches. Given that and given a World Cup without associates is a joke.... the least bad compromise imo would be two groups of 6 or 7, everyone...

    God that's sad. So fxxxing random, play that shot 100,000 times and nothing bad would happen....

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    You've got the rule wrong - if it hits on the full the umps and presumably Hawkeye are meant to assume the ball will carry on in the direction it was travelling prior to the point of impact. So if it's a spin bowler they can't assume that the ball would have turned once it bounced. That's what...

    That's good bowling...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    What is the third umpire doing - he's got nowhere near it, why so many views? Next point, Hawkeye shows that as Boult's Michael Bevan impression???

    Good wicket for both teams? He'd dug himself into a bit of a hole...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Plus if they keep hitting sixes we'll lose several minutes trying to find the ball.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Bad light to win out? Don't think we'll get all those 50 overs. Just keep Azhar Ali on strike and they won't get near it...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    On a more serious note, Pakistan are desperately missing the 5th bowler about now.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    After watching that last play and miss, I think it has become actually impossible for Mark Craig to be dismissed. I'm expecting him to be bowled only for the bails to fly up and land back on the stumps next...
