    Indian fans bad news and justified pessisim thread #FatRahiHai

    Countdown to Pant breaking the record for most dismissals in the 90s in tests

    After only 55 innings, Pant has already been dismissed in the 90s 6 times. That already puts him joint 5th on the list of batsmen with most 90s. Tendulkar has the record with 10, Slater second with 9 (with only 14 tons). If Pant were to keep getting to the 90s and getting out at the same rate...

    Instances of batsmen stranded at one end and one batsman makes 100% sure the other one gets runout

    The above post by Spark got me thinking. These situations are always funny where both guys are stuck at one end, one of them gives up running but the other one says "**** you Im not the one run out here". Kindly post examples, because I'm sure there are tons

    Cataloguing the best innings of X runs in test history

    Warning: This is going to be really stupid, boring and pointless but in this thread I shall be picking the best test innings of 0 runs, 1 run, 2 runs, 3 runs, etc in test history all the way up to whatever score until I get bored. I've gone through every single scorecard on Cricinfo to research...

    Border Gavaskar 2020/21 Series Awards

    Best innings: Rahane at Melbourne stands head and shoulders above the rest here for turning the series around. Top 10 Indian innings of all time. Best bowling spell: Hazelwood 5 fer at Adelaide. Couldve taken all 10 if Cummins wasnt at the other end, honestly Best partnership: The...

    Why do batsmen take quIck singles in test crickEt despite them never being worth it?

    Not going to get a better time to make this thread. Genuine question which I have pondered for years The risk/benefit tradeoff is so skewed against it in the longer format, yet so many batsmen do it. Massive coaching failure of modern cricket imo.

    Best robelinda video titles/ descriptions

    The only thing in the world as good as a robelinda video is the titles and descriptions. Some of my favourites: - Glenn McGrath vs poor Virender Sehwag - 4 times violation of Sehwag's manhood - Match fixing Pakistani, 'THE RAT' Salim Malik, king of fixing, corrupt f*cker. Description: -...

    Mohammad Amir retires from tests

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27260793/mohammad-amir-announces-retirement-test-cricket Major wat @ that. Thought he was showing some flashes of his old self in recent series, especially in SA. However, I do admit to getting a kind of sick satisfaction in seeing him unable to get back...

    Battle of the drawn test matches

    Nothing like a thrilling draw imo. No joke noms like SL 952 declared please. I'll run it with 32 nominations if there's enough interest.

    Battle of the shots

    Didn't know what else to call it. Pick any one shot played by any batsman. One nomination per batsman to give non-Lara/Laxman batsmen a chance. The video for the shot in question is a must to be nominated. I'll start with VVS jumping 4 feet outside leg to drive Shane Warne through extra...

    Best in the world title belt history

    Since everyone was talking about when teams changed hands of the "no.1 team", was thinking what's been the history of the title for best player in the world? As in, during a stretch, that player was generally considered by almost everyone as the best in the world. Post WWI Best batsmen in the...

    When will the ICC decide to automate front-foot no-ball calls?

    This has been a problem for years. Umpires should either call every no-ball on field, or they shouldn't call no-balls at all and leave it up to the third umpire. Right now, they're doing something which is in an awkward area between the two. Sometimes, they call it on field (which as we saw...

    Battle of the Wrestling promos

    Ok, let's do this. "Promos" as in a wrestler cutting a promo, not those PPV match promo videos (which actually could be a thread too). Must be on video to count. Send in noms. I'll get it started with a few obvious ones:

    Sore losers

    Was reminded by someone of this Richie Richardson post match interview after WI lost the 95 series vs Australia. Got to be one of the least gracious losing speeches ever. Any others come to mind? India after Sydney 08 and the 654 times Australia cried about spinning pitches up there too. But...
