    I dont like Bazball

    There I said it. I dont even mind England's win tommorow heck they deserve it. Full marks to them for making a game out if it and it will be a tight slap on Ramiz and Babar face as their tactics with the pitch back fire on them. But i am late 30's old school fan i want my tests run rate to...

    David Miller

    Why did he never play test cricket? Especially in the last 5 years when South Africa is short on batting talent. It's not like he is technically awful atleast could have been givin opportunities in some home series.

    Separate LOI and test tours

    Who came up with this idea and what's the logic behind it, Am I the only one who find this recent thing annoying and unnecessary and isn't ICC as an organization should do its best to reduce global carbon footprint this practice is probably doing just the opposite.

    Should ODI cricket go?

    As a 90's kid I have a special attachment with odis. The ODI WC for me is still the pinnacle of the sport but the more I think about it the more it makes sense to me that this format is past its sell date now. The cricket calender with the introduction of T 20 and its subsequent franchise...

    Is this a reasonable equivalence?

    So a slow Wednesday afternoon at work got me in to some deep nerdy cricketing stats thoughts. I was wondering if we are to compare a performance of a batsman with a bowler what would be the ideal equivalence . So after much deliberation I came to this conclusion Pacer 20 wickets =1000 test...

    Speed Guns

    On a lazy Sunday a thought just crossed my mind. Shoaib and Lee were consistently threatening 100 mph and ever crossed on few occasions .for the past decade or so we rarely see anyone going above 95 mph with top pace demons rarely going past 90-93 mph in their fastest spells . So I am...

    The curious case of Mohammad Abbas

    The likes of Anderson, Mcgrath and Philander have shown that pace is one of the least important attribute to be successful test bowler. However all these blokes have their strengths Mcgrath with his awkward bounce with nagging accuracy, Anderson with his late swing both ways while most of...

    Simplest method to make test cricket competitive

    Forget about gimmicks like toss removal or pitches standardisation just make it mandatory that all visiting teams play 3 full F.C. matches as warmup before the series starts and watch results improve to no end. Thoughts?

    Big Vern and Sir Jadeja

    One looks a run of the mill county trundler the other a Bangladesh dime a dozen SLA darter.Wise men say don't be fooled by appearances both these men posses ATG stats and do not look like they will slow down anytime soon and with the bat in their hand they are more then capable of holding...

    The tier below the fab 4

    We know who are the big 4 in international cricket but how would you rank the batsmen in the next tier below. I have excluded AB,Amla, Cook, Taylor as these guys were already established before 2010. So rank these batsmen in order Matthews,Chandmial, Dhawan, Vijay, Pujara, Rahnne, Azhar ,Asad...

    Yasir, Ashwin and Herath

    Are they really that good or they are just padding up their stats by playing in the weakest era of batting against spin. I for one can't stomach how Dilruwan Perrera can have a 10 fer vs the # 1 ranked team in the world while Jadeja can achieve a sub 25 bowling average. So is this a case...

    has Bangladesh replace Windies as a long term top 8

    with BD rapid rise and seeing the support of the game in that country I struggle to see them going back to their 2000-2014 days. So will see them overtaking Winides asa new top 8 or will West indies continue to produce enough quality to stay ahead of Bangladesh?

    Azhar Ali as Captain?

    Seems it is all but confirmed Azhar ill take over from Misbah as the ODI skipper and then at the end of the year if he handles the job well he takes over from Misbah as the test leader aswell. The general talk among Pakistan cricket circles is Azhar is almost a Misbah clone in not only his...
