    English Domestic Season 2024

    Agreed. It looks a lot worse than it is on a cursory look given how far the batter moved to the off-side.

    2024 Ranking of Batsmen Poll

    Votes for No have zero weighting and were not invited to do so. The only effect voting No has is bumping this thread back up to the top, thus attracting more Yes voters. So therefore I think through the "good news for Trump" doctrine that those who vote No want to look cool while still actually...

    Kallis Vs Flintoff

    Flintoff, at least he won matches.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Yeah to be clear I'm not dissing that. I was simply combatting the attitude that it's as valuable as an ATG batting or bowling all-rounder.

    Inzamam vs Gooch vs Chanderpaul

    "Poor runner" is only half relevant in that he makes his partners score less / run them out. The rest is accounted for in his batting average.

    Iconic as ever.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    But remember if an ATG top order fails then Imran will hardly be able to do a thing!

    Yep and he does but a very strange winning moment in that Sussex–Gloucs game.

    Years or Test - Which is the best way to test longevity?

    As it's important to account for earlier eras where FC games were more important than tests and careers were longer, and given the fact of the matter that longevity > all, to automatically adjust for era this is the correct way to rate players (+ for batters; − for bowlers): ([FC career span in...

    Cummins vs Virat kohli

    This is a difficult one because although Kohli is the better batsman, Cummins is the better bowler. Therefore it's difficult to split.

    Harold Larwood vs Vernon Philander

    Unfortunately, this inequality continues to this day, as reflected in their respective cricketing prowesses.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Yep I've been enjoying following this CC season insofar as to laugh at the fact that a massive chunk of the division 1 overseas players are Kiwis shunned by Stead – N Smith, Bruce, Young; at a stretch Will Williams. All we need is Dougeh for the set.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Oh and no, that's wrong, forcing a position to be irreplaceable is a really bad mindset given there often isn't a good enough player at hand to fulfill that spot.
