    Will Sarfaraz Khan be the greatest Khan?

    Well he'll certainly have some competition to even be the second greatest Khan given some of the other Khans who have been Khans while also being cricketers but he's off to a bloody good start. Right now he's got 2099 first class runs at an average of 77 from his 22 matches, which is the second...

    Shining the ball with saliva banned under new laws

    https://www.cricket.com.au/news/mcc-laws-update-october-2022-saliva-banned-ball-tampering-dead-ball-batter-ends/2022-03-09 Don't think this has been discussed anywhere. I think it's an important enough change to have its own thread anyway. So something that has been fundamental to the way...

    Namibia vs Scotland @ Abu Dhabi Evening Game 27/10: Matchday Discussion

    Hopefully the Scots get some momentum from this and upset someone later. Not sure if the Namibians are any good, but can't help but feel we've been robbed of some great World Cup matches by their qualification. ^I said that to demonstrate the sort of attitude which robs the associates of...

    Bangladesh v England @ Abu Dhabi Afternoon game 27/10 : Matchday discussion

    The terrible news for Bangladeshi fans is that the team's only power hitter Saifuddin is out, which will surely make no impact on the eventual result. The good news for England is that most of the others are probably still in.

    Afghanistan v Scotland at Sharjah: Matchday Thread; Mon 25/10

    It will be pretty interesting to see how the Afghans fare in light of everything having gone **** up in their country. Having said that, the Scots won my admiration during the group matches and I'd love to see them get a couple of wins and put themselves in the frame for a shock semi-final...

    Saturday 24 October: Australia v South Africa and West Indies v England Match Discussion

    Better late than never I reckon. This West Indies performance has been depressing so far. What the **** is going on?

    Sunday 25 October: Bangladesh v Sri Lanka and India v Pakistan Match Discussion

    Let's try and move the matchday discussion away from the generic group threads I reckon. Nothing worse than coming into a forum with a bunch of catch-all, generalised superthreads with too many pages. I think the Sri Lanka bowling might be too much for the bang-average Deshi batting order...

    Zimbabwe Tour of Ireland and Scotland: An Unofficial Thread

    Didn't realise, but they're already up to the 3rd ODI. Zimbabwe in all sorts at 6/113 in an ODI reduced to 38 overs. They appear to have won one of the matches by 38 runs with the other one being a wash out. Ervine, Taylor, Raza and Williams being the predictable top scorers in the game...

    The Tigers: Bangladesh News, Selection, Fanboying and Fury

    No complaints from me either. There might be a genuine conversation to be had about Rubel's merits vis a vis a celery in various domains but I'll gladly take him in white ball cricket as a reserve. Would have been nice to have Mosaddek in the squad, on the basis that I rate him based more or...

    In Before the Knighthood: A Thread for Shimron Hetmeyer

    Magnificent. Stupendous. Quite good really. If you've not seen him yet, do yourself a favour and skip to 13.06 and watch the beginning stages of a great career. They're gonna name a grandstand after this kid one day.
