    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    3 or 4 runs is now huge is it?

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    No, he got more games because the selectors (and anyone else who tries to claim it) were wrong. Russell was a far better keeper who was slightly worse with the bat in comparison to Stewart as a keeper batsman. At the same time, Stewart was a far better opener then any other option available so...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    So the only way to judge wicket keepers is by number of dismissals then? What a load of total bullshit.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    What, 2 or 3 runs on average (as it was for the majority of the time their careers ran in parallel?) - I'll say that's a big no before you even consider how much better with the gloves Russell was.

    best team in world cricket right now

    Give this ****ing toss thing a rest - it is not as big a deal as you're are trying to make out, just a useful excuse for NZ for being properly thumped. England have definitely been a lot more competitive then any other recent touring side to India, and but for stupid silly mistakes (number of...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I don't care how many dismissals he has - the fact remains that he wasn't even the best keeper-batsman of his generation and should never have been given the gloves except in the event of an injury. That does not make him anywhere near the all time team. As a keeper, his batting was mediocre and...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Alec Stewart still being vastly overrated as a keeper batsman I see. How can he make someone's all time England side when he shouldn't have even been doing it in his own era as there was a vastly better option available?

    Steve Smith vs Everton Weekes

    I would guess it's partly because of Smith's career still being in progress whereas that is Weekes' complete career.

    How good was Imran Khan?

    For me Imran's bowling gets considerably under-rated because of the over-rating of his batting and trying to call him an all-rounder when he was never able to perform with both bat and ball in a series, it was always either one or the other (usually the ball until the tail end of his career when...

    ***Official*** England in India 2016/17

    I was also there that day and don't remember it being that subdued. Even if it were then I'm going to just throw it out there that the atmosphere was linked to the fact that we were in the middle of a load of ****ing riots, including one in Birmingham the previous night.

    A great result against the 'Win Toss, win the Test match" theory

    In previous recent tours to India there has been a fixation amongst some of the away supporters over the toss and India keep winning it. This has spilled over by some of those fans into this tour, even though the England fans (perhaps except for our North Eastern contingent) have generally been...

    Rashid better than Warne: official

    If his fielding weren't so bad there'd be even more case to pick him and play 4 and 2 all the time.

    The Kane Williamson Average Watch thread

    Miandad played 126 Tests and Rana umpired in 15 of them. In those 15 games he scored 1034 runs at an average of 49.24. Considering that his career record is 8832 runs at an average of 52.57 I'm inclined to call this out as a big load steaming bullshit.

    The Kane Williamson Average Watch thread

    So they're being dismissed 220 times in 200 innings then?

    Rashid better than Warne: official

    Couldn't agree more and I've definitely been one of his biggest critics. If Moeen can demonstrate enough batting ability to command a spot at 3, 4 or 5 then is there a case for playing both of them and the 4 seamers?
