    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka, 2013

    And I now see the Bangers have dropped a few catches. Even more depressing. Shahadat may be the worst fast bowler around at present, but he is also the unluckiest I think. His average might even be in the mid-40s if his fielders could take simple skiers...

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka, 2013

    God that's a depressingly predictable scorecard. SL win toss, 300-odd for 3 at stumps. Openers fail to cash in, Sanga gets a ton.... nothing to see here, move along.

    Left Handed ATXI for All Teams

    In the NZ side I'd take Shane O'Connor over James Franklin. Nice find to take Edgar as keeper. I can't think of any full-time keepers who batted left-hand either. John F Reid started his first class career as a keeper, so he's another option. For England 'Nobby' EW Clark is worth a shout as...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Anyone know Cullinan's figures vs Warne? Has nothing on Hughes vs Ashwin.

    Mr Kumar, welcome to the Indian cricket team. Hope you weren't expecting, you know, fielders to help you....

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

    NUmber of times someone on talkback will suggest McCullum should go back to keeping?

    Spark, you don't think maybe your signature needs updating after the first test? Or do Pattinson, Siddle, Starc and Lyon not count as "good bowlers"?

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

    If I were a new opening batsman I think I'd rather face the current Indian attack than any of Steyn+Philander, Pattinson+ one of Siddle/Bird/Starc, Roach+Rampaul, Boult+Southee. Of course if you aren't the best player of spin, it may be you will survive the new ball and get a start but then...

    Sharma and Kumar to open the batting?

    Warner might have to improve his technique against in-swingers before he meets up with Anderson later in the year...

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

    If anyone's interested, there's a nice article from Mike Selvey in the Guardian today on Hadlee and how a short run might help Finn. A few interesting comments on it as well.

    The 'unfairly shafted by Australian selectors' XI

    Jeff Moss? Nathan Hauritz may not have been a world-beater but he didn't deserve to be dropped after one bad tour of India, and nothing the replacements for him have done subsequently has changed that view.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Cricinfo says Henriques is the first Aussie to make two 50s on debut since Bruce Laird.... I know they won a lot of games by an innings in the good times, but that really surprises me.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Genuinely thought you were talking about Chris Martin there for a while and wondered if I could have some of the same drugs you're on. Or maybe I'd missed a worthy 0* (19) in his career somewhere....

    Philander's start

    Vernon just keeps on taking wickets. He's now played 15 matches which is getting beyond the "flash in the pan" category... I thought I'd look at other seam bowlers to see how they'd done in their first 15 tests. List below. Includes only seam bowlers, and only those who played post WW1. I...

    Ask Monk.

    Will be Andy Lloyd. Retired hurt hit by a bouncer never came back.................. ............................... (goes away to check that he wasn't out hit wicket in that innings.......) .............................................................. Nope. 10 not out.

    ****Official****Pakistan in South Africa

    In the first NZ test who was it who won money on NZ's top-scorer being Williamson, when he made 13. Wonder if anyone put money on Azhar Ali today...

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

    I see Flynn got another nothing score today. If he doesn't make a 100 before the first test I'd be seriously reluctant to open with him. Which leaves.... Rutherford I guess. Or Fulton.
