    A Public Apology to Richard

    Richard, Having considered what I wrote last night in the Domestic Season thread (the one now closed), I would like to offer an apology. While I do think that you force your opinions on others too often and that many of your posts are in my view unnecessary, I was wrong to reply in such a...

    'The Captain and the Bookmaker' - Hansie Cronje

    For those in the UK or with access to UK television (specifically BBC Four). Not Cricket: the Captain and the Bookmaker (BBC Four) I've just seen this and thought I'd let others know, available online for a week or so and repeated on BBC Four most evenings for the next week (along with a...

    Total Batting Value - Updated February 2008

    Thanks to Goughy for reminded me of this with his own thread trying to analyse the makeup of successful ODI sides. The general idea remains the same as per this thread. A reminder of the formula, for those absent-minded few who have forgotten it: There is one small change to the above...

    Sabermetrics in Cricket

    Recently, there has been a great deal of talk regarding the limitations of the batting average, particularly in one-day cricket. In Test cricket, the batting average is a sound indicator of the batsman's ability: the rate at which runs are scored, while becoming more important, is still nowhere...

    Bangladesh Thread

    After Richard's kind invite, I once again am left fighting the corner for a country I know nothing about... I see there are a few more Bangladeshis on the forum now, so maybe there will be a bit more conversation. If not, well, that's what Neil and Hakon are for. My Bangladesh XI for WC2007...

    What is a Sport?

    Following on from what I've just scanned through in the curling thread, where it is suggested that curling isn't a sport, I ask "What is a Sport?". This is a debate that has raged in my family for years, and always comes up when the Olympics is on. It centres around where the border between a...

    For the past two years, Wisden has published in the almanack a profiles of the 40 players who are in their opinion 'the leading cricketers in the world'.

    Red Cards in Cricket?

    In the current Pakistan v England Test at Faisalabad, most people will know that Shahid Afridi was caught scuffing up the pitch and was subsequently suspended for one Test and two ODIs. These laws have been around for a long time, and, have been applied almost as severely as possible. But in...

    **Official Bangladesh Domestic Cricket**

    As Chubb already has a Zimbabwean thread I thought that the Bangladeshis also deserve a thread. I am not Bangladeshi myself nor do I have an link with Bangladesh, I meerly have an interest in what was until recently the worst first class league in the world. The player summaries are probably...
