    Review your country's World Cup squad

    David Warner - had the mother of all purple patches in the mid-tournament phase with three very aggressive knocks to set Australia off to massive scores back-to-back-to-back. Otherwise was pretty quiet, though still had his moments. Overall, a pretty solid way to finish his ODI career. 7/10...

    Best individual years from a cricketer

    What years stand out as a flat out dominant individual year? Some examples off the top of my head: * Don Bradman 1930 (well Bradman for basically his entire career) * Michael Clarke 2012 * Imran Khan 1982 * Brian Lara 1994 Over to you, gents.

    Australia and 4th Innings Defences

    So some notorious Australia's 4th innings defences in recent years: England v Australia 3rd Test 2019 - lost by 1 wicket defending 359 Australia v India 3rd Test 2020/21 - drew despite having 131 overs to bowl at (and India were arguably closer to victory than Australia were) Australia v India...

    Player ratings thread

    Customary tour thread: Burns 1 - very close to earning a pair which says a lot. Hameed 4 - two starts but failed to convert either of them. Did look more convincing than at least two other openers, though. Malan 7 - very Malan in Australia sort of Test; failure in the first dig, scratchy but...

    Player ratings thread

    As typical for a series with a subforum. Shaw 1 - game just looks shot. Poor fella. Agarwal 2 - stayed in a bit first innngs, but really added little. Two peaches to get him but I worry about his backlift on these pitches. Pujara 4 - lots and lots of balls eaten up first innings and managed a...

    Team of the Year 2019

    Admittedly still two Tests in play, but one looks done and the other looks reasonably clear-cut too. 1. Mayank Agarwal 2. Tom Latham 3. Marnus Labuschagne 4. Steve Smith 5. Babar Azam 6. Ben Stokes 7. BJ Watling 8. Pat Cummins 9. Neil Wagner 10. Nathan Lyon 11. Mohammed Shami Openers - those...

    *Official* Sri Lanka in Pakistan 2019 (Tests)

    Surprised at no tour thread given the series starts in three days and the squads have been announced. Given it's Pakistan's first Test series in Pakistan in 10 years too, it's also quite significant. Test dates: 11/12 1st Test, at Rawalpindi PAK SL 19/12 2nd test, at Karachi PAK SL...

    Standard Test tour subbie thread. Obviously add your own. Burns 8 - lucky ton? Perhaps. But a ton is still a ton, and it put England in a position that should've been quite strong. Roy 2 - not up to scratch. That shot in the second innings has to be amongst the worst of all time given the match...

    Worst Player to Play 50 Tests?

    Probably a better question than the 100 Test one as everyone who hit 100 Tests was at least Test-class for most of their careers. Ashraful probably the standout. Discounting Bangladesh, maybe Ramprakash or Giles?

    Team of the Year 2017

    Strictly not the end of 2017, but given the only Tests left are the 4-dayer (which shouldn't really count) and a dead rubber, now's a fair time to start I feel. 1. Elgar 2. Rahul 3. Pujara 4. Smith 5. Williamson 6. Shakib 7. de Kock 8. Philander 9. Rabada 10. Lyon 11. Anderson Lot of toss-ups...

    Player Ratings thread

    As is customary for every series that is big enough to demand a subforum. Cook 1 - dear god. Probably couldn't do a lot about his first innings dismissal tbf, but that was not a shot that should've been played that early in the second innings. Very poor work. Stoneman 7 - can feel proud of the...

    Yes, it might be coming back. Yes, I did screw the pooch massively on this one: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/55978-cwxi-return-kinda.html. And for that matter a lot of things I've ran here....my track record on CS better but that's harder to prove to a lot of you. One of the...
