    Virat Kohli v Kevin Pietersen

    In tests Kohli more of a series monster KP more of a single innings monster honestly post Lara (outside of Smith who is on a level of his own), Clarke and KP I think were the players most capable of innings that no other player in the world could play but f me he was inconsistent. could never...

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/c06kkkkjmz6o in a time when England were utterly dismal, he always stood out to me as the one truly consistent world class batsman. his performances in Sri Lanka 2001 v Murali are the stuff of legend. also his one boundary century away in the same...

    is the Duke detrimental to English cricket?

    the discrepancy between home and away performance is likely bigger for English bowlers than most others (unverified but gut feel) English bowlers grow up in a nation with the most conducive overheads and atmospherics for swing bowling. to stack things further in their favour they get a healthy...

    Eoin Morgan

    why can't england produce a 50+ batsman?
