    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    I would like Smith to open for Aus as he could be a genuine threat and it will be easier to remove him if he opens. With Bumrah and Ashwin in our side, I don’t see Head making much of an impact.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    His record is average bcoz of that series in 2014 on flatrons, othewise he had been good.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Although I don’t like Mukesh at all but there’s a big difference between him and Vinay Kunar. Mukesh Kumar usually bowls above 135 and is way taller than Vinay, I would take him over Dayal who has no test experience yet. If Shami is injured, these should be our picks - Bumrah Akashdeep Siraj...

    Smith and Kohli should return to captaincy

    Jayawardene should also return to captaincy, he has good numbers. Obviously batting form and age have nothing to do with record disparity.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    Ashwin is not an ATG for me though, probably an ATVG. Never gave the invincible feeling that we get from an ATG, especially away from home.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    Kumble would also get dropped if we had Jadeja at that time.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    Ashwin. Kumble averages 44 in Pakistan and 45 in SriLanka, 32 in WI, so he was basically good just in Indian conditions . Aswhin did face a quality SriLanka side having Sanga, Mathews, Chandimal, Karunaratne and excelled, I don’t see any reason as to why he would fail against SriLanka of the...

    Chris Gayle vs Sanath Jayasuriya

    Gayle is better than Haynes, Jayasuriya doesn’t compare.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Kapil Dev

    Kapil is the better bowler, better batsman, better fielder, better captain, better away from home, better leader of the attack, better count of fifers aaay from home, better count of MOTm away from home. Also better analyst, I loved the way he called out Stokes taking mental break as a drama...

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

    Bumrah hasn't played any cricket since the t20 world cup, its essential to give him some match time, he should definitely play one match and might play two against NZ.

    Hashim Amla vs Alastair Cook

    There was a time when Amla was just invincible in all conditions against any bowling attack, thats why I would take him. Apart from that both have similar stats and wont give Cook the opener advantage here as Amla was also a top order bat . Amla was also better against stronger bowling attacks.

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    Les Ames should be considered a revolutionary more so than Gilchrist considering he had more than 100 first class hundreds while other keepers at that time were averaging a meagre 15-20.

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    According to me its not just about what they averaged. Can the likes of Healy, Bari, Dujon ever play a counterattacking knock like Liton did vs Pakistan, its more about batting talent and potential. At their best the likes of Liton, Kock, Rizwan, Pant can win you matches single-handedly with...

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    Every wicketkeeper that can bat is somehow bad at keeping. Similar to how every ugly hollywood actor is great at acting. As I have always said, Imagine playing cricket for 25 years and the only thing you know is to catch, and that too with gloves on .

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    I Its okay to see one extra dropped catch per match than watch these mediocrities try to use a bat.

    Ishant Sharma vs Shaheen Shah Afridi

    Ishant Sharma operated like an ATG bowler away from home during 2016 to 2020. I know that we have to take full career for comparison but Ishant Sharma for me is a better bowler than Brett Lee in tests and there’s no way I am taking Shaheen over Shaheen’s potential is also in question now...

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    No need of Arshdeep, he was bowling at high 120s in ODIs vs SRL, we should take one of Nitish Reddy or Shardul Thakur.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    More likely to go above 50 considering how he batted in SouthAfrica.

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    For me, it will be Sachin Gavaskar Kohli Dravid Dev Sehwag Ashwin Kumble Mankad Jadeja
