    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    I think they did, but the innings finished with an agreed declaration time and still included lunch and tea breaks.

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Another one that's interesting but not a stat is Bradman's last game is categorised as a limited overs match. Only made a scratchy 4 though, so that puts to bed any thought he would've been a gun in the IPL.

    *Official* WTC 2025-27

    Let's be honest, other than the weather and the uncouth supporters of the local team, the UK has the best of everything for a neutral test. Would be happy to see all future World Cups being relocated there tbh.

    *Official* Emerging Nations Cricket Thread

    Will be interesting to see the 16 man squad for the World Cup. Who else would be qualified that Italy could pull in? Spencer Johnson needs to sit out another year or so. Usually don't like seeing ring-ins for the Associates, but its micky mouse t20 **** and these are pretty decent first class...

    *Official* Emerging Nations Cricket Thread

    I wonder if we're now starting to see the effects of the ECL on European cricket. Spain and, for a while there Germany have hopped over Denmark as the next best of the rest. Does Italy have a reasonable standard domestic league?

    Cricket obituaries

    A bit off topic, but over the years when I see one of those old Gillette Cup scorecards, I end up down a rabbit hole for an hour or so trying to find the cricketer with the oldest birthdate to play list a cricket. I've seen a few born around 1918, and thought at 45 years old, that was probably...

    *Official* Emerging Nations Cricket Thread

    Nooo wayyyyy 😭 I used to give him a lift to the ground when he played a season with my old club back in the early 2000s, and he'd always have a good story from his time playing in Singapore. Loved his reggae too. That's just ****ing awful.

    How much would a batsmen need to average to overtake Bradman?

    99.95 and also needs to fight in a world war somewhere in between.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Tamim Iqbal had a heart attack during a domestic match today. One source says he's on life support, but the BBC's saying he's recovering. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/cy7xzrldgj1o

    Why can’t both semi finals and Finals be held in Dubai?

    But it's Pakistan's tournament?? Either way, doubt this will ever come up again. Surprised this tournament even happened.

    Why can’t both semi finals and Finals be held in Dubai?

    You've made a thread asking why both Semis can't be moved to a country that wasn't chosen to host the tournament. What's that got to do with India playing in their semi? Australia, West Indies, New Zealand and England have all refused to play World Cup matches before because of security...

    Why can’t both semi finals and Finals be held in Dubai?

    Jesus Christ. Wake me up when this jingoistic nationalism ends.

    I think the elephant in the room isn't the schedule.

    Why can’t both semi finals and Finals be held in Dubai?

    Ha. Sounds like a solution concocted straight from the current incumbents of the White House.

    What format do you play in club cricket?

    Coach wanted me to captain my first test but didn't think it was a good idea. 30 years later, was probably right.
