    Why can't we all be friends?

    I think we need to cut him some slack. To use one of his analogies, if you remove all his **** posts so far he's not yet posted so how do we know what he'll turn out like?

    World Rankings 'Red' vs 'Blue'

    So Tahir, who doesn't have enough 'it' to get anywhere near the SA side is good enough to be first pick for the whole Southern Hemisphere? You don't half post a load of shite.

    Why do England struggle to produce undisputedly great players?

    Bopara was a spud and has never been anything but that. The only bad way about how he was treated was in selecting him in the first place.

    Younis Khan vs Rahul Dravid

    What, completely changing my post when in effect the converse is not as likely to be true is food for thought? Coaches (and the actual bowlers) can watch the batsmen and get their bowlers to change plans over a series without needing to spend time honing technique etc. Batsmen in a slump don't...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

    I was thinking that this day's play put a little bit more perspective on the SA batting efforts on day 1.

    Younis Khan vs Rahul Dravid

    Not so much because of number of matches but the intensity of games. Not having a break to iron out kinks in a player's technique or just getting some down time to mentally refresh is something that I often feel is overlooked when looking at batsmen. For example, the 5 Tests coming up for India...

    Will Alastair Cook go on to surpass Tendulkar's test run tally?

    Sorry, I don't get the point when someone else says that Cook is nowhere near the runs per match of Tendulkar and I prove that to be a completely false comment. How else was I going to prove his comment wrong, by stinking up the thread in the way you do all over the Cricket Chat?

    Ben Stokes vs Ravi Ashwin

    Having seen his innings in the First Test and considering how others who are supposedly the best available have performed then I would say so, yes.

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

    In spite of the glaring holes in the top order, the issue is more that our spinners are **** - if Jimmy were fit for 5 Tests then we may have a hope as his series last time out gave us the control that the rest of our quicks can't guarantee so at least we could bowl dry for a while and try to...

    Younis Khan vs Rahul Dravid

    Yet the flipside to that is that by not having as many games, Khan could always maintain a level of freshness which the grind of playing a lot of matches didn't allow Dravid, allowing him to be much nearer 100% ready whenever his team had a Test, something which is often overlooked.

    Ben Stokes vs Ravi Ashwin

    Definitely makes it on batting and for me as a 4th seamer he gets in as well.

    Will Alastair Cook go on to surpass Tendulkar's test run tally?

    How is number of Tests a nations plays relevant when Tendulkar's played about 20% more games then anybody else in history?

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

    England will be lucky to win one game. We don't have a spinner worthy of the name.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

    The thing is that is his last 14 games and spans almost 3 years (with an average of just under 40), so I would say it's a quite valid reason to consider other bowlers as being ahead of him in the pecking order as that is not an insignificant period of time...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

    I'd have thought a 14 Test run with only 25 wickets has more to do with it then just one series.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

    Oh yes, he missed the Test where the pitch looked unsuited didn't he, that damn unfortunately timed "injury".
