    Ranking the Auxiliary skills in test cricket

    Which of the auxiliary skills have been more impactful, important or determinative to results in test cricket over the century. Let's rank them, slip cordons, lower order batting and relief / 5th bowling. Lower order batting can bail out the occasional batting collapse or help form the key...

    Third name in an AT world XI

    @Coronis and I have had some discussions with regards to who would be the 3rd name on an AT XI written down on an AT XI team sheet. His argument has been Gilchrist as he believes that the gap between him and the next best keeper-bat is greater that any gap between players there after. My...

    Better combo round II. Sobers & Marshall vs Sachin and Imran

    Same scenario as before. From an average to an AT XI, which is the better combo for and brings more value to, your team. The ATG top 5 batsman and slip fielder and most versatile bowler ever along with the GOAT fast bowler versus very arguably the Best Batsman after Bradman and the ATG fast...

    Better combo

    From median to ATG team, which combo brings more on the field value to a team. Sachin and Imran, the ATG batsman and bowling all rounder or Kallis and Steyn. The ATG batting all rounder and slip fielder and pacer. What's your arguments?

    Imran vs Wasim

    Help me finish my team. Currently on Wasim but Subz seems to think I'm crazy. Last time I did this was coerced in multiple options I didn't want, and the last time we had a vote with these two it was literally tied. This scenario will also very likely come up when we do our overall AT team...

    Sobers vs Tendulkar

    Very simple premise. What if Sobers had never bowled a delivery in test cricket, but was just a middle order bat and slip specialist, with the exact same batting numbers (just adjusted that he made them batting at 3 and especially at 4), but probably has about 50 or so more catches. And...

    Holding vs Gibbs

    Was looking for a thread like this but dint find one. In short, which would be the better candidate for the 4th bowling spot for a WI all time XI.

    Bowling All Rounders or Batting All Rounders +

    Which of the two has more utility and value for a team. Would it be better if one of your bowlers can bat a bit or if your batsman can contribute with the ball and be an ace in the cordon.

    Your ATG Team opening batsmen combo

    Just as with @ataraxia exercise, I'm trying to see something, so who we prefer to open the batting for an ATG XI

    Best Cordons

    Don't think this has been done before and may be the shortest thread ever, but here we go. We've been talking about lower order batting quite a bit recently, while apparently it's a coincidence that the greatest teams and most successful bowlers all had amazing cordons. So which were the best?

    How good a captain was Graeme Smith

    Not only how good a captain he was, but how important was it anyways? And how do we determine that?

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Why do certain members of the community seem to have a heater affinity for bowling all rounders over other dual types of cricketers. I've made my arguments and the best I've received is that everyone has to bat, not everyone has to bowl. That doesn't quantifiably indicate how it's contributed to...

    Best Attack

    It's pretty simple, which is the best. First, the basics, yes we are factoring in all aspects of the game. For the sake of argument and uniformity we're using Warne, because quite frankly he's made the team every time we've done one. Plus it sets the rest of the tail for reference. Marshall...

    Only 3

    If you could only choose 3 players to form the nucleus of your team for a decade, which 3 are you choosing. Let's assume the other guys are at or above the mean. And no I don't expect anyone to chose the 3 that I did, just made me wonder whom everyone would come up with. Though I do have some...

    Does Barry Richards deserve an exemption to be ranked among the greats of the game?

    No need to rate his accomplishments, we all know them, he even made the Cricinfo all time 2nd team with all but Sutcliffe available. Anyone who saw him in country cricket would attest he was at the very least better than Sir Cuthbert, who he opened with. I'm pretty sure I know the result, but...

    Tendulkar and McGrath or Smith and Hadlee

    So it's (NFL) draft season and besides being almost as fun as the season itself, the break downs and evaluations also makes me think about my AT XI. Sachin is just about our consensus choice for best after Bradman or at least on the shortest of shortlists. Similarly McGrath is seen by most of...

    Better bowling combo

    Which would be the better bowling combo the world over, while also having a viable no. 8? McGrath (2) and Imran (6) Or Hadlee (3) and Steyn (4)

    Ashes XI vs Asian XI vs ROW

    Since the other thread makes little sense, which squad wins. 6 tests each. Lords, GABBA, Kensington, Cape Town, Hyderabad, Galle. Ashes XI Sir Jack Hobbs Sir Leonard Hutton Sir Donald Bradman * Steven Smith^ Walter Hammond^ (5) Rickey Ponting / Greg Chappell^ Adam Gilchrist + Shane Warne (4)...
