    Dennis Lillee v Jimmy Anderson

    Two options here: a home bully vaunted to nauseating degrees by his (literally) one-eyed fanbase and media, and James Anderson.

    Mike Procter dead at 77

    One of the great all-rounders, with a phenomenal record in county cricket surely matched only by Grace, Hirst, Sobers, Imran, and Hadlee. RIP

    2023–24 NZ women's summer

    https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/502615/women-s-cricket-aspirational-or-lagging-behind Good article ahead of the season. First round of 10 of the Hallyburton Johnstone was today. Looks like Thamsyn Newton's moved from Wellington to CD – probably good, she was struggling to justify a place for...

    Heine vs. Loader

    Surely we're all getting bored of the same players cropping up again and again. Here's two 1950s fast bowlers named Peter, unlucky to play as little as they did. Heine (RSA 1955–62): 14 tests, 58 wickets at 25.08 Loader (ENG 1954–59): 13 tests, 39 wickets at 22.51

    Test career chain draft II

    Largely the same as the previous edition. You pick a player whose test career has overlapped with the player picked by the drafter immediately before you in the order. For example, if the player before you picks Aubrey Faulkner (career 2 January 1906 – 1 July 1924) then you can pick Herbert...

    Why do cricket seasons start so early?

    Now to be clear this is not your average "wahhh it's raining and cold and they're playing pro cricket" – instead, I'm wondering why cricket seasons tend to be centred about the earlier end of the summary. So I'm no meteorologist, that's why this is not just a rant but also a query, but here's...

    Do you, CWian, endorse analysis by checklist?

    Right this is partly ****posting, but I haven't seen many defences of this dark art in recent times. Please don't overdo your own stupidity, you idiots. :ph34r: /s

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    I think this is an interesting topic that hasn't been well-discussed, and I don't think there's a consensus around this rn. Shame it's back to the Big 3 but ah well, it won't be like this for the rest of eternity most certainly. As to that this is doubly mid-series: fight me.

    Hobbs or Hutton?

    Very similar batsmen, English openers and prolific run-scorers in fairly tough conditions. Who's the better/greater/whatever you wanna call it?
