    England players and selection discussion thread

    It goes beyond lucky for Rashid - he's done about as much good for this series as Collingwood did in the entire 2005 Ashes. A total passenger and I cannot fathom why he's still being selected.

    Team of the 2010s

    You clearly haven't seen how seriously drafts and made-up teams are taken on here. Try missing a deadline by even 5 minutes and they're on you like a pack of vultures.

    ACC Asia Cup Qualifiers 2018 - Malaysia

    Isn't DLS based on how many wickets were lost at the delay rather then at the end of the innings?

    ICC Sim League VI

    Wouldn’t have been fair seeing as he’d seen every player play live. Edit, didn’t realise this was ODI only thought it was Tests.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    He’s what 34? How is that a long term option? Not to mention that he doesn’t actually bat 3 for his county.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    I'm not sure it's a long term option, would rather find somebody else and bring them in at 3 for Rashid, who quite frankly has added **** all to the team. Root 4 then a middle order of (in some order) Stokes, Bairstow, Buttler, Moeen, Woakes/Curran and the 2 veterans at 10 and 11.

    Alastair Cook Retires from International Cricket

    I think he's said that he didn't announce it immediately because he didn't want to overshadow Moeen's performance or the series win in the media the day after the game.

    CW decides the greatest test spinner ever. 43 names: Countdown/Rankings thread

    Sounds like something Shri would do...

    Can Ashwin beat Murali's 800?

    Not sure of the relevance but it must be pointed out that Anderson has more series wins in India then Ashwin in England and that Anderson played a critical role in that series win.

    I think Starfighter and I share the win on chronology of questions?

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    Imran scored actual runs, and at a far better average (when coming in earlier in the order). Literally the only thing Kapil has over Imran is strike rate which in a 5 day Test is the most irrelevant measure of comparison. You cannot just ignore the matches where Imran batted but didn't bowl...

    England players and selection discussion thread

    The current pair seem to last about 5 overs - may as well be 30-2 after 5 as 2-2 after 5!

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Stupid as it sounds, would it actually be any worse at this stage? Anything to get rid of the clueless giraffe. I know he's old but surely Ian Bell isn't out of the equation for The Oval?

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    Flipping it round, in spite of batting higher up the order on average then Kapil, Imran remained not out more often then Kapil, thus suggesting that he was harder to dismiss and ergo the better batsman.

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    How on earth was Kapil a “convincingly better Test batsman”? Don’t tell me you’re under the same delusion that PFK is suffering from?

    So basically you're saying all tournaments suck?
