    ***Official*** West Indies in Bangladesh 2012

    63.3 Shakib Al Hasan to Sammy, SIX, another loud appeal, hit him in front of the middle as Sammy took a big stride forward Either cricinfo got this one wrong.... or Sammy is batting with some remarkable pads. Oh, and looks like Bangladesh need the DRS.

    cricinfo say he's injured, though don't know in what way. Current batsmen not exactly batting like traditional nightwatchmen....

    ***Official*** West Indies in Bangladesh 2012

    Nah, he's probably thinking "we freakin' declared and deprived me of a triple century and a chance to make the game completely safe. Some other xxxx can bleedin' well save the match for once" Possibly with slightly stronger words than freakin' and bleedin'

    West Indies ATG Team- Open Voting

    I don't know that anyone knows that. But he averaged 30.75 in innings when he opened the bowling, 34.5 when he bowled first change, and 36.5 when he bowled lower down the bowling order. Which suggests he was more effective bowling swing/seam, (though it's possible he changed modes halfway...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

    That side's combined batting average is about 286, including Boult's current 26. Lower that to a more realistic 12, and it's 272... After the first innings of the current test, the combined Bangladesh side currently averages about 284 (including one allrounder averaging 4 after one innings)...

    West Indies ATG Team- Open Voting

    Marshall Holding Ambrose Gibbs The four-pronged pace attack is a bit of a myth. The West Indian bowler from their great era with the highest win ratio (68% wins, 8% losses) is Roger Harper. I know he would have often been included against India, one of the weakest sides of the era, and often...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Bangladesh 2012

    I assume because they're playing Bangladesh and figured they didn't need 6 proper batsmen.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Bangladesh 2012

    I thought picking Gazi was a mistake - didn't seem a need to have a fourth off-spinning allrounder in the line-up (Mahmudullah, Naeem Islam, Nazir). But he looks pretty good, so he's probably worth a spot as a bowler alone - his batting is just a bonus. Powell and Chanders batting - it won't...

    And Dion Ebrahim!? Hawke Cup rocks. Used to be such a big deal growing up in the provinces. Good to see Mason still turning out for Manawatu.

    This shouldn't take that long. Indian batsmen + Javed, One allrounder from Kapil/Mushtaq/Mankad, The Pakistani fast bowling trio Kumble Toss a coin for the keeper. Openers : Gavaskar and Merchant for me but I imagine Sehwag will get more votes than Merchant...

    Who is The Greatest West Indies Batsman of All Time

    Eight people have voted so far, and it's two for each. Pretty much sums up the dilemma. I went for Headley, but I'm a sucker for the unknown. In addition to his test stats (if he'd resisted coming back to play after the war when well past his best he'd have finished with an average over 66)...

    Best ALL ROUND cricketer

    Eddo Brandes may have been oversize, but he had the best retort in history when an opponent mentioned this to him....

    Best ALL ROUND cricketer

    Seem to recall a serious cricket-writer somewhere describing then-Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud as "an allrounder in physique only".... No cricket side will ever beat the Botham / Hemmings / Miller trio England sent to NZ in the early 80's.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I guess the fact that he could only bowl one of them per century explains his average the wrong side of 40.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Yeah, I thought the England 2005 was a bad example... it was four (very) good bowlers plus Giles, rather than five very very good bowlers as some folk want to go with for their ATG sides.

    *Official* New Zealand Domestic Cricket Season 2012/2013

    Redmond was dropped both for his first and second innings dismissals in that match. Second innings, NZ had to bat two and a bit days to save the match - Redmond and How got through to stumps (Redmond took 12 off Lee's first over...) then the following morning : "Good morning and welcome to...

    Best Bowling All Rounder

    In 5 matches for the Rest of the World vs England, Procter averaged 41 with the bat and 24 with the ball. In 4 matches in World Series cricket he averaged 30 with the bat and 16 with the ball. Still not a huge sample size I know, added to the 7 tests, but it tends to support the view that he...
