    Test Cricket "Brands"

    In the aftermath of England's horror tour of Australia there has been much discussion about the "brand" of cricket England play. Michael Vaughan in particular has been very vocal about Cook and Flower taking the team in a new direction and develop a "brand" that can beat South Africa. I think...

    Should Alastair Cook consider giving up the captaincy or retiring?

    Cook looked like a scared old man at Adelaide and I'm starting to think he shouldn't keep his place as a batsman. I really wanted him to be the first Englishman to score 10,000 Test runs but it doesn't look like he'll score another century in his career the way he's batted this year. Should he...

    How many runs will Alastair Cook score in the 2013/14 Ashes?

    This post is reactionary to Cook's 154* against Australia A, 90 runs more than he could score on a flat pitch in England. I think he'll break the 500 mark alongside Ian Bell with 3 centuries.

    Captain Cook's All Time ODI XI

    I've noticed a large number of threads dedicated to Test XI so I'm going to add to the smaller number of ODI XIs. There are some surprises and some predictable choices. Be warned, this list is a matter of personal preference. I will start with the twelfth man before I start the list: Shane...

    Can England win at the WACA 2013/14?

    I am aware of Australia's dominance at the ground but with an Australia side with limited seams options due to injury excluding Sir Mitchell, can England go against history and the statistics and pull off a memorable victory. England Cricket Team at the WACA Won - 1 Drawn - 3 Lost - 8 I think...

    Can Ian Bell become the English Steve Waugh?

    I was looking through Ian Bell's stats and noticed a striking similarity to Steve Waugh: Batting at V: Bell averages 51.00. Waugh averages 56.28. Bell has scored 2244 runs in 52 innings. Waugh scored 6754 in 142 innings. Bell's top score is 199. Waugh's top score is 200. Bell has 8 not out...

    2015 Ashes - English and Australian XIs

    Hey all, I wanted to know who you predict will be lining for England and Australia in 2 years time. You can also predict runs/wickets and number of centuries. 46 points available per team by the time the Ashes arrives ay these shores again. Batting Order - Player (Runs/Wickets, Centuries)...

    Best front-foot batsman ever?

    I don't think this topic has been covered in a while. Who is the master of the off-drive, the bane of McGrath, the taunter of the slip cordon?

    Leg spin bowling in club Twenty20

    Hello all, I am a newbie right arm leg break bowler who bowls pretty slow but spins the ball a lot. I can bowl leg breaks, top-spinners and a flipper with good accuracy and length. I am considering joining my university third XI. However, they spend the winter doing indoor nets and the summer...

    Alastair Cook - Will he break all the England records?

    Hey all, this is my first big post. As you can tell I'm a big Cook fan, so I think it's appropriate that my first thread has him as the subject. In the context of his career, I think we are at a turning point. Cook's lack of pushing on in the current Ashes series has worried me. I think his...
