    If someone has a stretch of 52 tests averaging greater than Bradman but performs badly on either side of it and plays around 150 tests or so, will you rate the guy a better batsman than Bradman? The question came from another thread where Bumrah has achieved better in 40 tests what Laker has...

    Vinod Kambli vs Barry Richards

    Who was the better batsman? Both had strong starts to their career. But one waned off due to attitude issues and being found out at international level while the other didn't get enough opportunities to prove himself and played just 4 tests.

    Sub-25 Bowling Average - Current players

    While it is not 'the' criteria for ATG status, a sub-25 average indicates that the bowler has been very very good at the highest level and we could be looking at future ATGs. There are quite a lot of those bowlers floating around right now. So, I am creating a thread to keep a track of them and...

    All time HTB XIs

    This thread is for the unfortunate players who get tagged/branded here as HTBs and hence, inspite of their good averages like Voges, Samaraweera, Jayawardene, Jadeja etc. or high runs/wickets like Sehwag, Anderson etc., they usually do not get a place in the all time XIs.
