    Frequent ball change made by England Team

    If I recall, D.K. Lillee pioneered that. If there aren't enough suitable old balls to replace a damaged ball, perhaps the umpires could rough up a newer ball (dare I suggest sandpaper?) until it more closely resembles the damaged ball. When I was playing we had a badly damaged ball and...

    Frequent ball change made by England Team

    A team doesn't change a ball. They point out to the umpire that a ball is out of shape/damaged and it's up to the umpires to approve a change and select a suitable ball. More often than not, they say the ball is OK and no change is necessary. I recall a time when both batting and bowling sides...

    Was Mark Boucher lucky to play almost 150 tests for a top team like South Africa?

    Your post overlooks the fact that, when batting at 6,7 or 8, he averaged over 30 and scored 5 centuries. While the majority of his knocks were at 7, it's naive to just focus on one position.

    Matches Played Draft

    Mahadevan Sathasivam (0) The beauty of drafts such as these is you learn about players you might be unaware of. Sathasivam is a case in point. Garry Sobers called him, "the greatest batsman ever on earth," and Frank Worrell called him "the best batsman he had ever seen". Praise doesn't get...

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    A sad, sad loss. My thoughts are with his family who loved him so much.
