    One Test or Series Wonders

    Narendra Hirwani. At 20 debuted vs WI and went on to take 16 wickets in that match, becoming a celebrity overnight. Followed that with 20 wickets in a 3 test series vs the touring NZ. And the dream just like that ended. He toured NZ, WI and Eng and was dropped afterwards. Rather cruel given...

    The Greatest ODI Innings of All Time

    Hence reliance on reports of those who watched it live.
  3. Senile Sentry

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    Voted India based on quality of bowling (all round) but yeah batting wise England edges it What to do for a Eng India series arm

    The Greatest ODI Innings of All Time

    While we lack TV evidence, accounts say Kapil's innings was hardly a blind slog.

    He drops a lot though Exactly. India were the dominant team and most likely to retain BGT even going into Sydney test.

    Yeah but there is no Pant equivalent in Aus

    Don't see the utility in him for the 4th. How many overs can he realistically bowl under 40 degrees sun ?

    The Greatest ODI Innings of All Time

    Kapil 175 for me. Such big scores were a rarity in ODIs but for me the bigger thing is the context. For India had they lost that match vs Zim, it was curtains. And at 5-17 and 7-73 ,.they were probably looking to book their flights home.but then Kapil happened. Imagine the pressure on the young...

    Going forward expect pitches to be even better for batting, as the weather conditions are changing dramatically. Indore traditionally has been a batting beauty. Ahmedabad will be sweltering at near 40 degrees heat. That's one helluva tan awaiting them there. India ideally should look to wrap...

    Yeah and Aussie batsmen need that practice don't they ? Been worse than inferior touring teams so far. On pitches that were hardly otherwise.

    Something is still better than nothing. The conditions for example, summer is fast setting in on India. Grass and all won't be a big deal by day 1 post lunch in this weather.

    Yeah I can understand before the series because BBL finals. But I can't understand not opting for one in between. Especially how they moaned about Nagour curator watering the pitch and all denying them "invaluable practice"

    Jadeja v Bradman

    Yeah Bredman is basically a glorified Brooks who got to play his entire career vs almost the same set of whipping boys.

    *Official* Australia in India 2023

    Surprised that with all the shenanigans about Nagpur center pitch practice, Aus didn't even ask for a practice match to utilize almost 1.5 weeks of break time. They have had more than double number off days (14 days) (than actual cricket (6 days) between start of the first test and start of...

    *Official* Australia in India 2023

    Yeah that's ridiculous. A 3d game could easily be inserted in this gap for visitors. And a good chance for domestic challengers like Sarfaraz to shine vs a strong team

    Jadeja v Bradman

    One is a legend. The other played largely Sheffield Shield XI vs County XI games.

    *Official* Australia in India 2023

    The last 2 or 3 pages indicate how horribly scheduled this series has been... with so much Gao between tests. BCCI missed a trick by not arranging a 3 day with the pretenders and out of form incumbents like KL. Ashwin is now attending tucking TNPL auctions FFS

    *Official* Australia in India 2023

    Ultimately comes down to player commitments in BBL which reduced the chance to play on Indian type pitches. If really serious, admins would've got atleast a couple of 3 day matches (regardless of pitch) scheduled. That said, Indian bowlers have been just too good as well. Seeing in form...

    Jadeja vs Ashwin

    Ashwin leads in terms of variety. But skill can be such a difficult term to define, I don't know how the ability to bowl accurately (and augmented with subtle variations of pace, trajectory and lengths at will) is any inferior to the ability to bowl 5 kinds of deliveries in an over. Both have...
