    We value your privacy pop up

    Since today I keep getting this annoying thing appearing saying 'we value your privacy' followed by loads of writing. At the bottom it say 'I agree' or 'more options'. This appears every time I got to a new page. How can I stop this happening it's very annoying?

    The playing out from the back thread

    Was watching motd Sunday morning, I counted 4 cases of goalkeepers and defeneders gifting goals by trying to pass the ball around their penalty box. Arsenal almost gave away a couple and no doubt there were plenty other near misses.. I used to hate it, but have seen enough times where teams are...

    Injury news

    Who is the biggest miss for their side of all the players rules out? I'd say hasaranga, a batsman who can clear the ropes and not look out of place coming in at 7 while being one of your sides best bowlers is hard to replace. Messes up the balance of their side and limits their chances of...

    Next big 4

    Marnus Babar Iyer Brook First 3 are all 28, Brook a fair bit younger but all should stick around for at least next 5 years. Babar for me most talented but I think marnus will end up with the best average. Shame iyer debuted so late. Which one will retire with highest average?

    Players who retired too early.

    There are lots of players who probably dented their averages by retiring too late (sachin, ponting ect) but who are the ones who retired from tests whose average was not on the decline or may have even improved. Sangakara is one for me, he finished on 57 but watching him in his final years I...

    Which era had the better bowlers?

    I've seen a few discussions on who is better between kane and Crowe. One of the arguments used to suggest Crowe is that he faced the better bowlers at his peak. Which era had the better bowlers 1985-1995 or 2010-2020

    Finding a page on a match thread

    On a match thread when there are maybe 100+ pages is the only way to skip to a particular page to keep pressing next or previous until you get to the pages you want to? Few months ago you could skip 10 at a time

    Who would you bring back from retirement?

    If you could pick one retired player from your country to return for your current team who would you choose? (Not including bradman.) I would go for boycott, Hobbs and Hutton may well have been better but too far before my time to judge them.

    Your countries first 3 xis of your era

    Pick your countries first 3 xis from the year you was born until today. 5 bowling options req and the player only has to have played international cricket in your lifetime even if his best years were prior to that. 1989 - Cook Gooch Gower Root Kp Stewart...

We are going to travel down on the Friday 11th and hopefully see a days play at the rose bowl for the Hampshire northants cc game. We are then arranging 2 friendlies for the Saturday and Sunday, so I was just wondering if anybody...

    Best combined xi playing now

    What is the best test side you can make up using players playing for only two teams. Conditions are in the West indies where I believe the balance between seam and spin in most even. Warner Agarwal Pujara Smith Kohli Jadeja Saha Ashwin Cummins Hazelwood Bumrah Harsh on labushagne shami and Lyon.

    England's batting in the 90s

    How did England become so terrible in this decade especially the batting. How often did Atherton Stewart Thorpe ramps and hick play in the same team? I think if the selectors had stuck with ramps and hick instead of bringing them in and out of the team then we could have had a very good batting...

    Karunaratne

    The best test opener in the world right now? Scoring big runs consistently in different conditions for the last 2 or 3 years. Winning games in runs chases and now as captain too. Warner still the best imo but not atm

    David Warner

    Does anyone else remember the 2 years before sandpaper gate when David Warner with his hands covered in thick heavy bandages used to field at mid off claiming he could no longer field in the slips because of all the times he had broken his fingers. Funny how now in the first game post ban he is...

    Playing cricket with a broken finger?

    I broke my middle finger on my weaker left hand trying to take a catch on the boundary last weekend, I then had the nail removed in hospital yesterday and the nail bed stitched up. It's just a small fracture on the tip, I can still bend my finger but it is very swollen and bruised. It's our...

    Tony Greig

    Is greig thought of amongst englands atg all rounders? Averaged 40 with the bat and 32 with the ball. Bowled spin and seam adding to his all round game. Yet never seems to be in the discussion. Why did he only play 58 tests, his last test was when he was 31 which seems very young.. if he had...
