    Peak Bumrah vs Peak Cummins

    Both awesome bowlers, however who would you think is possibly harder to face? Cummins at his metronomic best from Ashes 2019 or Bumrah bowling those freak spells in West Indies? Subjective opinions are welcomed as well!

    Ball of the tournament so far?

    Bumrah to Shadab Khan. Identical to Anderson's leg cutter to Clarke in 2013 Ashes.

    How were Tendulkar and Dravid different when it came to batting technique?

    I'm guessing this may have been discussed in CW before. In case not, just curious as to who was more technically sound of the two? Tendulkar is regarded to be the most perfect batsman technique-wise, but in my opinion he had a tendency to punch the ball with a very strong bottom hand grip while...

    Best English bowling attack

    Here are the three that I'm kind of familiar with. I'm not familiar with the history of English cricket so I won't be able to participate much in this thread, apologies for that. Since there isn't a thread on this in CW, I'd like members with good knowledge to discuss among themselves. You may...

    Best batsman against mediocre bowling

    We've done threads for best players of spin/pace/swing/seam. Now this thread is a tribute to all flat track bullies who will make the most of a flat pitch and 70 mph gun barrel straight military medium bowlers. Format doesn't matter, Tests/ODIs/T20. I left out Viv Richards from the poll because...

    What is fast bowling mostly about?

    I exactly remember Jimmy Anderson clocking 93 mph in an ODI game against New Zealand with a very economical run up, and it wasn't a speed gun glitch because he was averaging 89 mph in that 10 over spell. This was probably New Zealand's tour of England in 2008. Post diabetes Wasim Akram could...

    How were amateurs and professionals different from each other in batting styles?

    Did the amateurs emphasize more on defense and well timed cricket shots? And the professionals on shots like hook/pull and slogs?

    Innings played by batsmen with minimum percentage of runs scored in boundaries

    Can you think of any innings where a batsman made a huge score but hardly hit any fours or sixes? Don Bradman's 144 comes to my mind, he hit only 5 fours in that innings.

    Your most gloomiest/disappointing moments as a cricket fan

    Mention 3 moments which were your ultimate lows as a cricket fan. This does not include tragic incidents on-field/off-field, only limited to game/series results. In descending order, for me are: 1. 2011 tour to England: I was very confident that our side would at least draw the series if not...

    Mental health problems of cricketers.

    How many cricketers have had depression or any mental health problem due to playing too much cricket? India has been playing 4 test series followed by tri odi series and then the world cup. With few days break, they will start playing IPL commencing on April 8th. How do cricketers manage so...

    A fast bowler's physical peak vs his intellectual peak?

    Which one would be harder to face? One example would be Wasim Akram who hit his physical peak from 1992-1994 where he was at his fastest, and in the year 1999 he lost some speed but compensated it with the ability to set up a batsman on any pitch (we all remember that ball to Dravid in 1999...

    Dragon ball z style fusion of cricketers

    Wasim Akram and Curtly Ambrose will give Wartly Akrabrose. This hybrid will have exact physique of Curtly Ambrose but will wear green jersey, skin colour is black but face will resemble Wasim Akram. The bowler will have accuracy and bounce of Ambrose coupled with speed and swing of Wasim...

    Best players against lateral moving ball?

    There must have been discussions on best players of pace and spin in this forum, how about a list of best players of fast medium seam/swing bowling post 1970? Secondly, which team has produced good players of swing bowling on a consistent basis?

    Is the criticism of the Indian batting line up justified?

    Well let's be honest, the team is still in transition. They did well against the pace of Steyn and Morkel who used the kookaburra balls but have never faced the banana swing of the duke ball before. So relax people, even Dravid took 5 years to become a class batsman. International cricket is...

    Does culture influence a test team's performance

    Over the last 6-7 years of following cricket, I've noticed that test cricket is quintessentially British. Teams like West Indies(till 1990s), England, Australia and South Africa perform more consistently as a unit and tend to win more matches both away and at home when compared to the sides of...

    Why do some fast bowlers struggle to pick wickets with red duke?

    There have been some fast bowlers who are far more comfortable with the kookaburra ball and struggle using the red duke ball for Tests even though the fact that red duke helps fast bowlers more. In Ashes 2005 and Ashes 2009, I've read articles where Australian fast bowlers say that they don't...
