    Carl Hooper vs Arjuna Ranatunga (batting)

    Both average very similar in tests and ODIs. Carl looked majestic when he scored. Ranatunga won matches and carried batting before Aravinda came good. Carl was unstoppable when in mood. Arjuna was not so invincible, but was frequently in the mood. Who was better?

    What is the best ball to take a wicket from a non regular bowler?

    We have various Anderson Jaffas, Magic balls from Wasim, Warne to Gatting, Murali to Ramesh etc. but those were regular bowlers. Now who has produced the balls of the century from part timers? I name Michael Vaughn to Tendulkar one, but I may have missed a lot of cricket in between. What is...

    Split wicket keeper jobs

    We see the keeper has to play #6/7 even if he is a very good batsman, in test cricket. Some times this means teams have to draft players who are keepers, but average with the bat. Some of these instances the team has two top order batsmen who are competent keepers. My question is why the keeping...

    The best ATG fast attack

    We are all told that attack of Marshall, Holding, Croft and Garner was the best ever. But they rarely played as such. The best ever WI pace attack would ne Marshall, Ambrose, Holding and Garner. How ever is this the best we can assemble? A SAF attack of Steyn, Donald, Rabada and Pollock is as...

    What happened to big spinners of the ball?

    In 90s and 00s we saw some pretty massive spinners of the ball. Warne and Murali spun it miles and were very accurate too. Stu MacGill, Upul Chandana, Rajesh Chauhan, Greame Swann and Ramesh Powar all spun it pretty hard. Before that Qadir spun it quite a bit. Out of current crop only Ashwin is...

    Shane Warne vs Abdul Qadir: ODI bowlers

    Two of the three great legspinners of ODI cricket. Both were very attacking bowlers, colorful characters. And both sucked against India. Warne was in elite competition from some very good ODI spinners in his day. However Qadir was the lone man in 80s who was an attacking ODI spinner. Warne 194...

    Garner / Pollock / McGrath / Hadlee

    Very similar bowlers in ODI matches. What is striking is that all four of these bowlers were extremely accurate. I tries to adjust the averages and strike rates in relation to the peers. Pollock has most wickets, Garner has the best average, Hadlee has the best ER. Who would have been the best?

    How good is Mujeeb ur Rahman?

    When Afghanisthan is discussed, Rashid Khan gets the most attention.

Very consistent across matches, few...
