    Continent drift

    Which continent is going to come out on top? And, more to the point, which continent is going to fall away? Looks to me like India is the most vulnerable here, squeezed between Australia and Eurasia; sure, over the decades they've had some seriously impressive peaks (especially the Himalayas)...

    A real simple prediction game: just name the Winner and Runner-up for each group. Two points for each correct prediction; one point for getting the right team but in the wrong spot. Like this (winner first, runner-up second): Group A: Netherlands, Senegal Group B: Wales, England Croup C...

    The Wales thread -- as proudly promoted by Grecian

    Long-awaited, but, as our esteemed sponsor Grecian explained, much-needed so that "respectable people can avoid it" I know it's probably only Grecian and me that are really gunning for Wales this time round, but let's take a step back and celebrate the tremendous achievement of our first...

    Ian Bell'S 100th vs Graham Thorpe's 100

    I wanted to do an Ian Bell 100th test tribute thread, but thought it would be interesting to do it in the context of a comparison with Graham Thorpe, who he effectively replaced in the England team and who played exactly 100 tests. Bell is, after 99 tests, marginally ahead in terms of runs...

    Battle of the Worst Cricketer

    Inspired by a thread in Off Topic, I was wondering who was the worst test cricketer? But it would be too easy to name people who were called up for a match or two and then sank without trace, or people who played for minnow teams in their early years when they weren't yet test class; and surely...

    CW Player Ratings

    I'd like to propose a new idea for CW -- an ongoing player rating project. The way I envision it is that after every completed test series of the year, we all post ratings out of 10 for all the players in that series. Lots of news sites do things like this, but usually it's only one...

    Second Favorites

    Which test-playing nation do you support other than your own? What I'm looking for is a quick survey where you say what test-playing nation you're from and support, and then what your second favorite is. What I'm hoping to find out is: 1) who are the nice guys, the guys we all secretly hope...
