    Stylish Elements for Cricketers that Didn't Help Them

    I mean where to start with Maxwell. His effort in the field and while bowling shows how much winning means to him, how its unfair to call him uncommitted or anything like that But his shot selection while batting, the fact he's allergic to using a bit more discipline re hitting balls on the...

    John Woodcock's 100 Greatest Cricketers

    Zimbabwe only have to have two filler players as Andy probably deserves a spot. I'd say only 4-5 kiwis are worthy of consideration on an all time top 100 list

    John Woodcock's 100 Greatest Cricketers

    The implied removal of the bias with the "extends beyond English people" part resonates with me though. There's a lot of nationalistic bias on CW when comparing players (which can be pretty fun don't get me wrong)

    John Woodcock's 100 Greatest Cricketers

    Lara had the 501 and 375 so I get his ranking a little more. I guess the 96 WC did a lot for Sachins reputation

    John Woodcock's 100 Greatest Cricketers

    Had Sachin done that much by 1997 to be top 30? Predates even desert storm and the taming of Warne

    Les Ames vs Godfrey Evans

    What if we throw Knott in there too?

    The greatest non-allrounder at their non-specialist discipline

    You're the only person I've encountered who considered Flowers keeping thaaat bad. He took plenty of international dismissals

    The greatest non-allrounder at their non-specialist discipline

    Shane Warne for me was viewed as a pretty important part of our batting unit relative to his woeful average. Could never imagine the bat and ball next to his name on the team sheet, nobody would call him an allrounder, but he was also nailed on at 8. Most of his test 50s were actually pretty...

    Group B - England, Australia, Namibia, Scotland, Oman

    Bit late to the party but is it possible I can watch this anywhere. Not streaming on kayo

    Which factors matter most when judging bats to you?

    How many dingers per balls faced they wallop. Maxwell number 1

    Have you ever wanted someone to beat (Edit: or succeed against) the team you support?

    This is a joke right? It's the most I've ever been behind the Australia team

    I love the idea of UBI too much for that haha.

    Michael Slater in BIG Strife

    On a sub Reddit I was on earlier in the week there was a massive upvoted comment on a post showing the interview with the killer's parents (who I have less than zero blame for and the media are vultures for interviewing them) which basically said "reminder: people with schizophrenia are more...

    Michael Slater in BIG Strife

    I'll just add that one of my ASD clients is literally a more cartoonish Elliot Rodger (he's even invented a term called "CR", short for "Couples rage" that means he feels rage when he sees happy couples in public) and I'm starting to lose empathy

    Michael Slater in BIG Strife

    I'm not expert either but I both have schizophrenia and am the support worker for several people with Autism, Schizophrenia etc and am starting to realise too much "mental health acceptance" will eventually lead to people thinking they have a pre forwarded excuse for behaviour that negatively...

    Michael Slater in BIG Strife

    In the wake of what we just saw on Saturday I think any remaining public sympathy for Slater is not just dead but 100 miles the other direction. Lock this man up til he understands how to not let his mental issues affect other people. I am so over these losers giving lonely guys (or whatever...

    Who is the 2nd greatest Kiwi Bowler?

    I know Cricinfo can tend to get a bit flowery with it's praise of older players, but "if he was Australian, he'd have been termed a wonder of the age" found on Cowies page has just always instinctively felt so true to me
