    ai ads

    i understand that ad revenue is important to keep the site running. i'd like to draw attention to these ads respectfully, aside from the horrible grammar and spelling etc, this is just defamation. it's concerning that these ads are being run on that level because they open the forum up to...

    Nature's Mysteries

    so talking to a mate about jimmeh's record in the ashes as many have been also mediocrity away is one thing and is pretty explicable given the sort of bowler which he is - those numbers in england are just mindboggling though, averaging thirteen more against my lot than he does at home...

    Player of the Match

    so i am in massive agreement with tjb here and i've been thinking of it a lot as re the world cup. a lot of people, now messi has won the world cup, will say that the messi and ronaldo debate is done and messi wins - they're right, to me, fwiw, messi is the clear winner. however, messi got...

    Double Nightwatchmanning

    so lyon is padded up as nightwatchman now and this is something i've thought about a bit nightwatchman comes out and quickly is sent back - it seems the general done thing is that the batsman just comes out; but is this right?

    Cricketing Scorigami

    so scorigami's a concept popularised by join bois, essentially recording every time there's a "unique" scoreline in the nfl. now given the wide variance in cricketing scores, appropriate adaptation of the concept would be unique margins. as an example: nobody has ever won a test match by eight...

    Jacques Kallis vs Jacques Kallis

    we know that of the three disciplines, kallis's batting was probably his best by a fair way. but what about the other two disciplines - elite slipper and useful support bowler for that squad, which of these brings more to a team?

    ATUXIs (90s-now)

    so all the crawley talk has got me thinking... let's make some All Time Undeserving XIs for decades from the nineties to the modern era. four decades that gives us! the reason i specifically say undeserving rather than bad - if you just say bad, you'll find that, eg, the xi for the 2000s might...

    player comparisons

    i motion that we unironically have a subforum for direct player comparison threads in cricket chat discussion threads can stay in main but all of these one against one discussion threads need a place to go ffs edit: @PlayerComparisons this isnt at you specifically, you're cool!

    Burgey average vs Women in Tests

    Burgey slots in at preferred position (4) for Australia for 50 tests in the next 5 years (and doesn't get injured). Perry and Lanning can decide between them who bats 3 and 5, they can alternate if necessary. Average prediction?

    worldwide series

    a comment by @SillyCowCorner1 about galle in the england vs sri lanka thread reminded me of a thread idea i came up with a whole ago for discussion but forgot to post up. say you have been put in charge of scheduling a worldwide five test series for the WTC final, rather than a one-off at lords...

    let’s remember some guys

    let’s remember some guys!! but what is a “guy”? a guy is a player who’s mediocre, but is not exceptionally so. a guy comes along and gets internationals, but isn’t in the team for 5+ years as a fixture. a guy can have great innings, great patches, but if you’re a guy then you’re not the glue...

    The Mankad

    in cricket, we have a lot of pride in being the gentleman’s game, and one of the ways we show this is by frowning on people who mankad a batsman with no warning... we’re pretty much the only sport that frowns upon a completely legal and, in a by the book sort of reading, completely legitimate...

    people who aren't cricketers draft pt deux

    please read all of the rules or you're a huge nerd with no friends i tried to run this draft a while ago and it was a boatload of fun but then hitler got picked and it all got a bit on the nose and petered out; here i am running it again! the rules: -signups for the general public will open...
