    Bowling attack for timeless tests

    Assume we are playing timeless tests. For convenience we'll assume it will be six to nine days of play. What would be the bowling attack? How many bowlers? How many pacemen, how many spinners? Do you consider fitness as a factor other than performances? Do you consider hyper - aggressive...

    Sajid Khan

    Not a youngster, a seasoned off spinner. Gives the ball a proper rip, and has a deceptive action. What are the impressions?

    Carl Hooper vs Arjuna Ranatunga (batting)

    Both average very similar in tests and ODIs. Carl looked majestic when he scored. Ranatunga won matches and carried batting before Aravinda came good. Carl was unstoppable when in mood. Arjuna was not so invincible, but was frequently in the mood. Who was better?

    What is the best ball to take a wicket from a non regular bowler?

    We have various Anderson Jaffas, Magic balls from Wasim, Warne to Gatting, Murali to Ramesh etc. but those were regular bowlers. Now who has produced the balls of the century from part timers? I name Michael Vaughn to Tendulkar one, but I may have missed a lot of cricket in between. What is...

    Split wicket keeper jobs

    We see the keeper has to play #6/7 even if he is a very good batsman, in test cricket. Some times this means teams have to draft players who are keepers, but average with the bat. Some of these instances the team has two top order batsmen who are competent keepers. My question is why the keeping...

    Afridi vs Jayasuriya (ODI bowling)

    Another Afridi thread. Both were monster hitters of the ball. Probably among the strongest men among people with their physique. Both were magnificent fielders. This is about the ODI bowling. Afridi 395 @ 34.5, ER 4.62 Jayasuriya 323 @ 36.75, ER 4.78 Afridi was mainly a middle overs bowler...

    The best ATG fast attack

    We are all told that attack of Marshall, Holding, Croft and Garner was the best ever. But they rarely played as such. The best ever WI pace attack would ne Marshall, Ambrose, Holding and Garner. How ever is this the best we can assemble? A SAF attack of Steyn, Donald, Rabada and Pollock is as...

    What happened to big spinners of the ball?

    In 90s and 00s we saw some pretty massive spinners of the ball. Warne and Murali spun it miles and were very accurate too. Stu MacGill, Upul Chandana, Rajesh Chauhan, Greame Swann and Ramesh Powar all spun it pretty hard. Before that Qadir spun it quite a bit. Out of current crop only Ashwin is...
