    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Some truly braindead cricket it has to be said.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Sobers above as a bat than what Imran was as a bowler, probably there is a decent gap but not overwhelming. Sobers as a bowler and Imran as a bat, that's probably closer still. Arguably Imran, as he was a respectable no.6 in the latter part of his career if he had never bowled a ball. Then there...

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia 2024 (white ball tour)

    You lot did try Tim David a little while ago in ODIs. It should be said that McGurk seems cut from the same cloth.

    *Official* England in the West Indies 2024

    I can't say that I've watched these JAMODIs JAMT20s but to have got 17 runs as a top score in each format over five collective innings is rather concerning as to his competence against good quality bowling, especially as he seems to have shown a weakness against the short ball, which he will get...

    *Official* England in the West Indies 2024

    Not sure Jos Buttler is quite as intimidating as Stokes, mind!

    *Official* England in the West Indies 2024

    The latter two, I'm not sure should be part of the team moving forward. Surely Rashid isn't far off retirement now, no matter how good he has been?

    Thank You James Anderson- Farewell Thread

    Do you not think that the 85 he averaged v Australia and 33 v India was what perhaps pushed him out the door? Not that the latter performance was particularly bad. It was more that England clearly need to play a lot more of the younger bowlers and the West Indies series at home was never going...

    Wasim Akram Vs Kallis

    For me, Wasim was an era defining bowler in a way that I don't think Kallis was an era defining batter, despite being excellent. Wasim was a bit more than just great. I've said previously that I never much rated Kallis's bowling against non minnows.

    Play for his country anymore or even visit there, it seems.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia 2024 (white ball tour)

    Oh bloody hell, that's bringing back memories from me from my time down under. I remember being in both the Crown and Star Casinos at stupid times of the night, most of the time with a beer in my hand. Never saw any cricketers of the day in there. I did see a few in a bar in Brisbane though...

    The Best Wicket keeper?

    The thing with Russell is that probably his best action was standing up to Gloucestershire seamers in domestic cricket. Not saying he wasn't a fine keeper in test cricket until his last couple of years but I think it had more impact in Gloucestershire's successful years around the turn of the...

    Kohli Test Average

    It seems utterly nuts that he doesn't play first class cricket outside of tests. I get that he is always going to play IPL, but even so utterly no preparation is crazy.

    Kagiso Rabada

    Anderson wasn't really a primary pick until the New Zealand away series in 2008, he was in and out of the team as well as having injuries, particularly in 2006. It should be also said he was somewhat inconsistent at that time, although it should be said that batting lineups were a good deal...

    Kohli Test Average

    It is a fair distance across town, yes, especially when it isn't that close to any tube or overground station.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    What I was trying to get at was that sometimes a team's decline can set in really quickly and that was the case with that England team and now with this Indian team. You can lose a load of players quite quickly.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Isn't it always a danger that when you have a team with a number of players well into their 30s+ that a drop off in form can be very dramatic indeed? Kohli's poor form has been documented for some time, but now you have him, Rohit and Ashwin looking like they are toast and there are several...

    Kohli Test Average

    I was being rather facetious, but yeah we are blessed. I live near Victoria Park which is another park that makes you feel a sense of dislocation when you can easily forget for a moment where you are if not in sight of a 50s/60s tower block or that you can see Canary Wharf in the distance.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    As an outsider, what I am a bit at a loss as to how giving the same players (the batters and probably Ashwin) the Australia tour and expect a good outcome? That really should be a career ending performance for several of them. I know that you might argue that bringing in new players to the...

    Plenty of greenery in Hyde Park.......

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    I'd be truly shocked if he made it as far as England. I would have thought him (and Kohli) are gone after the Australia series.
