    I think all the earliest posts about him on CW are about his quirk bowling too. It probably was the most interesting thing about him before he became a high-performing domestic bat a few years ago. If the cricinfo profile was last written in 2020 or earlier that's probably what I'd write about

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    If I were a facing down 450/5 in the first innings I'd probably be holding on to the notion of it being an easy batting test and it could be 500 plays 500. Seems unlikely though given the missed chances and the scoring rate not being high for everyone except Kamindu Mendis.

    Continent draft

    I keep reading this thread title under new posts as 'continental drift' which suggests a rate of 1 pick every 40,000 years

    Haha there are some absolute grunts in the hobby too. I suppose you could argue that none of them are enjoying it.

    Posting here to not derail ama thread "Aha does this mean you think you’re a cynical person? I don’t think you are at all." Nah was being a bit tongue in cheek. A lot of people call me a cynic irl though because they either don't know the difference between a sceptic and a cynic or because...

    NZ 5.00 at the time of writing. It would be a hell of an innings for Ravindra to do it from here - probably needs 40+ of the remaining 75 - but not unheard of

    Hashim Amla vs Alastair Cook

    His point is that the number of people who think Amla is better than Cook doesn't tell you anything about the degree to which they think Amla is better than Cook. If people thought Amla is only worth 1 more run every 100 innings, but everyone agreed on that idea, Amla would win the poll...

    Why haven't they called you up yet for a consultation on the 'more goodness, less worseness' strategy?

    I for one am furious about the arrogance being shown by Jamie Smith to score runs with attacking shots. He should only be scoring runs with non-arrogant methods, which are solely nurdles to square leg for one and forward defensives that lead to overthrows.

    The madlad went and did it. Assuming he doesn't miss any tests this year, he needs 888 more runs in the next 7-11 tests to overtake Dravid against India.

    Does he heck as like. He's just doing his usual whinge-only-when-it-goes-wrong crap while sticking a random jab in at people's mental state because he can't go five minutes without being a prick. It can't be a lack of respect for the opposition while also failing to change their game for the...

    It's also not a great reason why Rehan Ahmed and Shoiab Bashir should be taking wickets on debut in Pakistan and India respectively.
