    Malcolm Marshall vs Kapil Dev (with a tweak)

    I think it depends entirely on who the other 10 players are -- you can't look at it in isolation. If you are talking about selecting the all-time greatest team ever, you know you already have amazing batting with Bradman, Sobers, Hobbs etc., and picking Marshall means you can field the five...

    Who will score the next triple hundred in Test Cricket in the 2020's ?

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    When I was a boy, I was introduced to Colin Cowdrey, who was England's No.1 run scorer at the time, and I think second only to Sobers in history. The world moves, he wouldn't make the top 40 run scorers now. Root is certainly the best of those who made it to No.1 since then (Boycott, Gooch...

    Continent drift

    Which continent is going to come out on top? And, more to the point, which continent is going to fall away? Looks to me like India is the most vulnerable here, squeezed between Australia and Eurasia; sure, over the decades they've had some seriously impressive peaks (especially the Himalayas)...

    If you trained for five years…

    Semi-seriously, I can see a justification for bringing pro-wrestling into the Olympic fold. When I was a child, a highlight of the year was when the Circus would come to town. There was a field right next to St Helens Cricket Ground where Garry Sobers famously hit six sixes in an over, and...

    Happy 1st Ball Changeversary

    You don't get it do you? They've changed test cricket by saying they've changed test cricket. Winning and losing is for losers. You're way behind.

    Thoughts on Geoffrey Boycott?

    So I read Sir Geoffrey has been admitted to hospital with pneumonia days after cancer surgery (having previously had chemo and radiation therapies) at what must now be quite an advanced age. This doesn't sound so good. Hope he pulls through -- he was a real boys own hero type when I was a littl'un

    If I calculated this right, if England set a target of 344; WI score 344 gives a match total of 1601 Eng 416 and 384; WI 457 and 344 Oh!!!

    Is this tongue in cheek? He only needs about 650 runs to break into the Top 5. Or do you think he'll retire before the end of the year or something?

    Jimmy ends his career as England's 89th highest scoring batsman ever -- somewhere within the top 13% of England batsmen of all time.
