    Semi Serious Ideas to Re-Invigorate Test Cricket

    1. T90. A maximum 4 day test format where each team gets a maximum of 90 overs x 2 to make their runs. So a team that's 5 down in the 70th would need to accelerate to make as many runs in the last 20, complicated by the new ball at the 80th (though maybe brought forward to the 70th to keep...

    Any interest in some Australian cricketing memorabilia?

    Belonged to my late father. Before they head to the op shop, anyone interested in these?

    Reasons to shag other posters

    They have the sense of humour and ruggish good looks of smitteh They don't create player comparison threads They organise you a store discount at their company They come up with some amazing obscure stats related to a match currently playing They don't care about the IPL They're a lawyer...

    Should the Ashes be downgraded to a 3 match series?

    England, bar one series where the moons aligned for them, have been thoroughly thrashed in the Australian leg of the Ashes this century. You'd think after years of touring there, playing 5 full games each time, they'd learn a thing or two but apparently not. Likewise, Australia haven't won a...

    2019 xi

    Not quite the end of the year, and a few series to go until 2019 is done, but who are the front runners for team of the year? The make up should change in the next couple of months, but let's get the ball rolling. Ignoring Sharma for now, despite his impressive efforts. Imagine he will be in my...

    Just how mauve is India's cricket nocturnalism?

    They're noisy for when we sleep. Their sounds are heard worldwide, and are much respected. But on the topic of Indian crickets, a lot of them talk utter nonsense.

    Is petworking against ferret?

    They say to get a ferret it's who you know matters most. It's a present day fact, but is it ethical? To me petworking is a product of present day competitive zoos. Canadians and people with ferrets have it hard.

    World Cup Uniforms

    England, Afgahnistan and Sri Lanka with decent kits. The rest? Bland AF. South Africa looks like they didn't have time to design a kit and took one of Pakistan's old ones, and Pakistan returned in kind by adopting something more South African. West Indies and India seem to have had the same...

    From the Pavilion

    Anyone still playing? Might be neat to get a friendly league going if we have enough. In other news, threw the virtual cricket bat at the dressing room door after starting today first ahead on RR only to finish second because of run rate, as team that was second had a final round match against...

    AB vs AB

    Let's settle this once and for all. Expecting burgey to weigh in heavily here. It's tough to judge because AB is still playing, and AB has been retired for quite some time now, and there's a chance AB's career might have a downturn - or hit even loftier heights. AB is sublime in all formats...

    Ramnaresh Sarwan v Simon Katich v Paul Collingwood vs Ashwell Prince

    A variety of players, one supremely talented who underachieved, and then some gritty, nuggetty, at times unorthodox, but effective players who did a job for their team. Katich with the highest average, came back great guns as opener and even at his 'elderly' age, had a career cut short due to...

    World Rankings 'Red' vs 'Blue'

    Trying to think of a novel way of coming up with random Best XIs to vs each other in some totally unrealistic scenario that could be fair and balanced in some way. Using the team world rankings as a guide, the challenge is to make a team from nations in a certain ranking position. So Team Red...
