    The Hundred could be scrapped

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/hampshire-sell-majority-stake-to-gmr-group-owners-of-delhi-capitals-1451240 The first play with the Indian takeover of Hampshire imminent.

    ***official***Bangladesh tour of india - 19september -12 october 2024

    Well maybe there is a chance of a result in this test yet! If they can get up and past the Bangla total by the end of the day. Edit, what centurymaker says.

    ***official***Bangladesh tour of india - 19september -12 october 2024

    But he's a bit of a 'no rounder' v India. Averages 26 with the bat and 44 with the ball throughout his career. He didn't really do that well when he played them earlier in his career either.

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    And I thought that but for the last over, Australia had pulled it back!

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    Casual running there nearly gifting a wicket. That said last 10 overs, a minimum of 90 should mean 300.

    Yeah that was poor.

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    He certainly has done very little against any of the serious ODI teams to suggest that he will be worth persevering with unless he does anything very soon. His record is only above 30 because he's battered the Netherlands.. I haven't done the arithmetic but it likely drops to mid/high 20s...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    As was discussed before, it is nothing like 2 years ago when you had Anderson and Robinson doing a fine job with the ball and Wood having a good impact when he played. None of those are present this tour. I'm not quite so down on some of the choices but it will be a hard job for them in Pakistan...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    I would be astonished if they went with green pitches as it would bring in Woakes as well as any of the other seamers England could pick. I never know what's going on in Pakistan. Every Pak origin person I speak to with a knowledge of their game always says that there are a few folk who are not...

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Ian Botham

    One occasion that springs to mind for me was 2018 at Southampton when Moeen Ali spun out India. It is a reasonable criticism for me that Ashwin didn't do enough outside of Asia in the earlier part of his career, in the same way that you can criticise Botham's last 5 years of his test career...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Just wanted to post my appreciation again. Feel pleased that I got to watch him bat for a couple of hours at the Oval. I can't claim to be any technical batting guru, but I could tell by watching him then that he had so much time at the crease, regardless of the bowling.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Ian Botham

    There have also been a few tours when the quick bowlers have hardly been running through sides in SENA as well. I think his first tour here (England) was 2014?

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    It is absolutely tipping it down right now in London. It is supposed to get better in a few hours time but it would take something for them to start on time, I think.

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Looking as an outsider, it seems an illogically balanced team from a bowling perspective. Quite why you feel the need to have neither fish nor fowl Santner there I don't know. He's never had a good record as a bowler, but seemingly only provides support batting as well, a 'no rounder' as I've...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    I have to admit that I have a slight more liking for the player who doesn't necessarily fill his boots against the small teams and has an even spread of scores against everyone, rather than a player who scores big against the small teams to cover up failures against the best.

    Nepotistic selections.

    What format do you play in club cricket?

    I play recreational cricket in London. My club plays largely 40 over games with 16 over a side midweek league action. I am getting too long in the tooth to play too many games though. 16 overs is my lot. That is 8 a side, so far too much running!

    English Domestic Season 2024

    I find that a slightly strange thing to consider. Surely the pathway for promising young players to succeed to an extent that they get picked up by a f/c county. That would go beyond Stokes. I kept getting reminded on another forum about Somerset having a fair number of players who came from...

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Ian Botham

    It is forgotten that up until the mid 80s that Botham was a very good bowler. He did damage his legacy by bowling dolly drops for the last few years of his career. Ashwin has obviously been a consistently good or better bowler throughout his career. It isn't particularly close with the bat, though.

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    To be honest, there are very few teams who seem to have 'conventional' test match openers these days. You probably have to go with the flow and have the most 'complete' aggressive player who has a modicum of technique defensively.
