    Not sure what the rules are regarding this - I've been writing a lot recently for my blog & I thought I'd share my cricket articles here. I am studying journalism at La Trobe in Melbourne, but these pieces are purely for fun/entertainment. They aren't related to coursework or moneymaking in...

    Could today's batsmen adapt to sticky wickets?

    I have just been wondering about the evolution of batting techniques. You read legends about Hobbs, Sutcliffe and Trumper alike being masters on rain-affected wickets. Even the Don himself was famously unable to tame those nightmarish patches. Back in the days of uncovered pitches, it seems...

    In search of someone willing

    After three months of selecting teams in the ATG World XI's thread, we have created 27 teams. http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/56705-atg-world-xis-game.html We planned on simming a tournament between the sides we selected. Unfortunately due to difficult circumstances our planned...

    One Last Sight

    John Warr once said "if one were granted one last wish in cricket, it would be the sight of Ray Lindwall opening the bowling in a Test match." If you were granted one final sight in cricket, what would you choose to see?

    CW Draft League

    Overview I am looking for eleven other players to participate in a 12-man draft league. The concept is that we draft teams in different formats just like Monk's 'quick ATG draft', for example. At the end the selection period, we vote on the best team (everyone is welcome to vote), with each...

    A Batsman's 'Prime'

    I've been sitting here thinking about a way to measure how good a batsman was during the peak of their career. A perfect example is IVA Richards- his test batting average of 50.23 (despite being an excellent figure in itself) does not reflect how brilliant he was with willow in hand. Off the...

    Who was Australia's greatest left-handed opener?

    Three choices spring immediately to my mind: Arthur Morris, Mark Taylor and Matthew Hayden. Taylor's inclusion here may surprise some, but I feel that his brilliance as a captain and first slip fielder add a great deal to his overall worth. Hayden was also an excellent slipper and Morris was...

    Shameful Fielders

    I just witnessed Monty Panesar put down two catches in the space of about five minutes, it was a truly abysmal display of fielding. It makes me wonder, who do you think of when the words "atrocious" and "fielding" are combined? For me, Darren Sammy always strikes me as completely incompetent in...

    All-time T20 XI

    I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now. Who would you pick for your perfect domestic T20 side? There are a few standouts but it's surprisingly difficult to choose a great XI. Mine so far: Gayle Warner Marsh McCullum + D Hussey Pollard Afridi Malinga Mendis Tait Nannes Has firepower...

    Why does no one seem to consider fielding when picking ATG teams?

    Despite the undeniable brilliance of many players frequently chosen in ATG test squads, no one seems to consider that half of the teams they choose have maybe 3-4 excellent fielders. Bowlers can't take wickets as frequently and as economically if the field doesn't support them. Here comes the...
