    Cribbage's Standardised Test Averages (UPDATED November 2018 - posts 753-755)

    The longevity issue is interesting (and see anomalies like Asif Iqbal in the bowling list), but I'm more interested in the standardised averages. The likes of Holding and Roberts see their averages go up, while the Steyn's standardised average goes down. Would it be fair to say that because...

    New Zealand All Time Team - Open Voting

    Yeah, I'm paddling upstream here but I'll go with Smith I for keeper and Vettori for the last bowling spot. Not sure where this idea that Reid bowled spin comes from - don't suppose there are any oldtimers on here who've actually seen him bowl? Cricinfo describe his bowling as : a bowler of...

    Sutcliffe, Donnelly and JR Reid for the three slots on offer. My second xi : Richardson Wright Jones Fleming Taylor McCullum * Cairns C Nash Taylor B Collinge Boock (I am simply unable to pick any cricket team without a spinner, so Vettori is taking up a slot in the first eleven... having...

    New Zealand All Time Team - Open Voting

    Bowie and Cond. Agree that the list is odd. Cameron, Nash, Doull should be there ahead of Martin and Morrison. Gavin Larsen presumably will make the allrounders list?

    Turner and Dempster Really think we should claim back Grimmett for this exercise... Australia didn't need him.

    Please McCullum get out before lunch so I can go to bed without the faintest shred of guilt that i might miss something that isn't 100% depressing....

    I think Rutherford has now scored 88 runs in 6 innings since his debut 100. We're back in the old situation of picking openers from a hat...

    ***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

    I agree - from some angles it looks like his elbow is just bent all the way through the action. But from other angles, it looks decidedly ugly. I also can't believe NZ seamers bowl at 12 overs per hour against defensive batsmen. It's just pathetic. All these guys have played a fair amount of...

    ***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

    NZ have 20-odd overs before the new ball. Up to McCullum in particular to make the most of that - see off four overs of Anderson tomorrow morning and Cook will probably take him off to save him for the new ball. In some ways it was faintly reassuring to be be 7-2 once more. Restored my faith...

    Which cricketer has the best name?

    I believe there was a meeting of the England side with some dignitary in India, where the latter was very pleased to make the acquaintance of "Mr Iron Bottom"

    Reasonable hit-out today, would have been nice to see the openers score more but hey, we're used to that. Happy that Brownlie did well and Guptill didn't....
