ASK THE SPIDER

Since ATS has been dormant for a while, in which time the odd thing has changed, it seemed appropriate this week to look at some questions about changed and unchanged teams.

This week we look at the countries which have been most left-out, the old-school Test Championship, and those who profited and paid for Packer’s shenanigans.

This week we look at the teams who have got through fewest players in ODIs, between the last World Cup and the one before, England’s changes, and more.

This week we look at England’s inaugural twin tours, as well as their last big absences, the best captain-catchers, the teams who have tried fewest players in ODIs, and more.

This week we look at how Strauss has joined an elite band, Harris’ run which has now trumped any countrymen, Ponting’s records, and more.

This week we look at Australia’s invincibility at their “out” grounds, those who have declined to take even bigger first-innings leads, and more.

The Spider answers more questions on the tumbling Ashes records.

This week we look at records relating to the current first Test in Brisbane.

This week we look at Pakistan’s wicketkeepers, and some more questions which we couldn’t get around to last week about the England captaincy… plus another one.

This week we look at quite a few questions relating to the England captaincy.
