    Good example of how Stats can be misleading - A comparison of captains.

    Which Test captains had the greatest effect on their team's fortunes? (thecricketmonthly.com) I saw the above article on cricinfo's website and thought to myself, I bet Clive Lloyd is going to dominate this greatest effect assessment. The man regarded as one of the best captains ever barely...

    Imagining four Archers = Frightening

    It must have been demoralizing facing West Indies in the late 70s and to Mid 90s. Batsmen must have been so tentative, super careful, fearful facing these brutal bowlers back to back. When you analyze the bowling avgs of WI bowlers in the 80s, they all averaged between 20 to 23 runs per wicket...

    As a Windies fan i'm insulted

    Everybody was harping about Windies being a one man team, India relied solely on one player throughout the tournament and not one mention that India is the true one time with over 40% of their runs being scored by Kohli. It is quite insulting to hear the rhetoric in the media and only...

    Chris Gayle's T20 record

    Blogs: Chris Gayle forces the pace of change | Cricket Blogs | ESPN Cricinfo Just looking at the data you can't help but he in awe over his record - surprisingly he failed in big bash recently. But wow he's so ahead of the pack.. I think he may have taken T20 as his life line when WI dropped...

    How does a team maintain greatness ?

    and should this even be expected ? As West Indian ived watch people (many aussies too) just laugh at the difficulty of our players to do well. In fact the last time West Indies went to AUS we were laughed at after the first test. Thankfully kemar roach came back and assaulted ricky ponting...

    Fidel Edwards VS Andrew Flintoff as test bowlers

    As Fidel takes another 5 wicket haul I can't help but think of Flintoff who I remember didn't take that much 5fers We all know Flintoff was better to watch bowl...but the record would suggest Fidel is actually the more useful bowler to win matches... which is amazing.. The one who just by...

    WOW...This website need a change

    Threads can't be made about AUS rapid decline ? Is this a pro-aussie website or something ? No room for open debate and exchange of opposing opinions ? Whats the point of having a forum if everyone has to agree ? Whynot just have one member /

    This Australian slide is worse than WI slide

    This is happening really really fast. They went from being Dominant to losing to SA, IND, ENG in no time. It took Richie Richardson one series loss to hand over the captaincy, not sure why Ponting is still there. WI did not see such collapse until 2001, and there isn't anybody in AUS ranks...

    Where is richard, pakistan is proving your theory wrong.

    You always believe a strong bowling will win games, but pakistan currently has the best bowling attack and they are not winning anything why is that ? Their batting is really unstable. The fact is batting and bowling are equalling important to a team, a good bowling attack isn't more valuable...

    The best batsman in the world is gambhir ?

    How is possible for a player who cannot play the short pitch delivery to become the number ranked player in the world in test cricket ? Thats just amazing, test cricket inwhich a captain can set various fields for a few bouncers. In my opinion is quite telling when a player who can't play...
