    Arthur Shrewsbury vs Mike Atherton

    Two English openers with similar averages. Shrewsbury was arguably the best batsman of his generation but played on the worst pitches and in the lowest scoring era in the history of Test cricket. Atherton played a lot more Test cricket and faced possibly the highest standard of fast bowling of...

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Virender Sehwag

    The only thing these guys have in common is they were both top class opening batsmen. Otherwise their styles couldn't be more different. But who was better?

    Javed Omar vs Zak Crawley

    Who is the better Test match opening batsman? Javed Omar for me. Excluding Crawley's 267, their records are pretty similar. Omar opened for a much worse side and was actually one of the best frontline batsmen in his side rather than the outright worst. He also had a stronger defence and...

    Mike Atherton vs John Wright

    Two hard working, solid but unspectacular opening batsmen with similar records and identical high scores. Who was the better of the two?

    Gundappa Viswanath vs Mark Waugh

    Two stylish batsmen with similar records, but from slightly different eras and different parts of the world. Who was the better of the two?

    Joel Garner vs Waqar Younis

    Two outstanding but very different bowlers who both had a great yorker and who are both somewhat overshadowed by colleagues (Marshall and Akram) in modern day retrospective common consensus. Who was the better of the two?

    Who is the best M bowler?

    Interestingly, arguably the three best bowlers of all time have surnames beginning with M. So who was the best of the lot?

    England has a long history of producing high quality left arm spinners, but who is the best of the lot?

    Who is the second best opener of the last half century?

    I believe there is a widely held consensus that Sunil Gavaskar was the best opening batsman of the last fifty years. But who would you rank as the second best?

    Who was the second best West Indian fast bowler?

    If we accept the commonly held consensus that Malcolm Marshall was the best fast bowler ever produced by the West Indies, who would you rank as the second best?

    Steve Smith: Most Runs in a Series (Post Bradman)?

    The most runs in a Test series is 974 by Don Bradman in the 1930 Ashes. Steve Smith currently has 671 and needs 304 runs in the final Test to break this record. Not likely. The most runs in a Test series since the retirement of Don Bradman is 839 by Mark Taylor in the 1989 Ashes. Smith needs...

    Decade of Death Draft

    The idea of this draft suggestion is to select a team of 11 deceased cricketers, every one of which passed away in a different decade. An example of an eligible team, should you be so lucky, would be; 01. Jack Hobbs (1963) - 1960s 02. Victor Trumper (1915) - 1910s 03. George Headley (1983) -...

    “Universally Challenged” Draft Idea

    With only 3,500 posts in 15 years, I’m not exactly the most regular poster on this forum. If this or a very similar thread has been done previously, feel free to shoot me down in flames, but here is my idea for a draft: The objective is to select the worst possible XI from those who have...
