    Jack Leach

    This will quite possibly seem like a reactionary thread to his getting hammered around in the Brisbane test and it's really not meant to be. It's more that I've had a bit of an impression for a while that he seems an easy bowler to target/attack, with even pretty mediocre players such as Matthew...

    If you could watch one match...

    If you could be transported back in time to watch one single match from each format of the game, which would they be? For the purposes of this, we'll say that any knowledge of the match you have is removed during the time travel, so you're watching it 'fresh', so to speak?

    Pure Entertainment XI

    Inspired by an off-hand comment by harsh about how watchable having Flintoff, Botham and Stokes in the same team would be, what's the most entertaining/watchable test XI (all countries/eras) you can come up with, typical constrainsts of justifiable team balance and not forcing anyone out of...

    England's focus going forward/how to fix our test match issues

    Ok, so in the past 2 weeks or so, the English cricket team has done the following: 1. Won the World Cup 2. Come worryingly close to losing a test match to Ireland, with our many shortcomings in that format being pretty ruthlessly exposed in the process I am firmly of the opinion that our...

    ATG Bad Captaincy Decisions

    With Gulbadin Naib having just played an instrumental part in allowing Pakistan beat Afghanistan, by not only questionably bowling himself, but bowling rubbish too, what other terrible moves by captains (any format) spring to mind?

    Marcus Trescothick to retire from professional cricket

    BBC article Ok, possibly not completely worthy of it's own thread but feels like the end of an era for me. He was the first England player I remember seeing, so he's always been part of cricket for me, and as a Somerset fan I've always rooted for him. Immensely likeable player (shocking...
