    Do SENA Bowlers Deserve Extra Credit for Flat Pitch Performances?

    Give the tendency of some posters on this board to reward Steyn and McGrath for flat era bowling records, is this fair given that we rarely do that contextualising for pacers in other eras and series where they may have faced such pitches and pacers in other countries?

    Using a team to assess a cricketer

    If you are judging the quality of a cricketer, is it right to base this on how they would do in XYZ team? And should that be the value they bring to a weak team or an ATG level side? I find this way of assessing cricketers to be flawed since it is too subjective.

    Bowling - Batting Counterparts

    Who are the ATG or below batting/bowling counterparts displaying a similar skill level and overall standing? For example, I consider Hadlee to be the bowling counterpart to Gavaskar, both trailblazers and the first genuine ATGs from their respective countries with a high emphasis on technical...

    Do SC Pacers Deserve More Credit For Home Performances?

    I have noticed in our conversations a subtle bias against giving SC pacers full due for their home records. McGrath and Steyn are given points for succeeding in flat bat eras, yet Imran and Wasim not as much for excelling on pancake wickets which have a bigger portion of their career. Kapil...
