    Your ATG team pace bowling trio

    Most cricket teams have players who make the team on batting or bowling alone. There are thousands of team constructions around the world who fit around that. It doesn't occur often at test-level or above, but it's clearly not impossible. If you were posting on CW 100 years ago would you say...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    And yet Young was picked over Conway for two tests when Conway was averaging about 70 in the PS. That was just strange.

    Rank them : Sobers. Viv. Sachin.

    Given that all 20 people in this poll have voted Tendulkar ahead, that seems rather unlikely.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    That NZ could perform so well while Stead made numerous idiotic and biased decisions does show that his steady-as-she-goes approach worked well with this cohort.

    Trueman and Statham vs Lillee and Thomson

    I'm sorry, but flinging a rock at 140kph while aiming at someone's unprotected head 20 metres away is nothing short of unconscionable. 'Oops I really didn't mean to hurt you as I hurled a 160g implement at your bare skull specifically to scare you' is the defence of complete dumbarses.

    Trueman and Statham vs Lillee and Thomson

    Yes, all ***** of the highest order.

    Trueman and Statham vs Lillee and Thomson

    Good to hear that Trueman never let thinking he had actually killed a man stop him from bowling bouncers. It made him sick to the stomach so it must be okay then. What a legend.

    South African Domestic Season 2025/26

    I had no idea that someone who last played an international match in 2002 (!) was playing domestic cricket. Much less one with an Olympic medal. Looks like she returned to professional cricket after a 19-year break, which is something.

    *Official* Emerging Nations Cricket Thread

    Yep same reason that if you need one run to win and you smash a shoulder-high full toss for six only the no ball counts.

    That's an excellent idea for too many reasons to list.

    Ranking the Auxiliary skills in test cricket

    Is it? Just looks like standard county pacer fare, except a WPM less. I'd expect a better peak a level below tbh.

    Your ATG team pace bowling trio

    Beginning to come round to Pollock over Marshall in my AT team tbh. Not sure the overstated bowling difference is worth 10 runs a match. You've got Imran and Hadlee already: why do you need another great pacer? It's similar to how I have Simpson over Barry in my 3rd XI.

    Bill O'Reilly vs Curtly Ambrose

    That's not was that word means lol. Sam Robson hasn't been retired the last 10 years.

    Australia's second best Test fast bowler

    It's because all the people who idolise big strong macho men voted for Lillee. So the Lindwall row is just the various weirdos who can see past he who is worse than Hoggard but contra-contrarianly don't lean to Davo.

    Fred Trueman vs James Anderson

    Oh, I didn't realise. In that case, the answer is no.

    What does @Al Salvador have to do with it?
