    Could one of you most erudite chaps please drop a hint as to which of the books on Victor Trumper is best?

    Greatest Australian player since 1989

    Enjoyed watching Warne far too much to vote for someone else.

    How To Create The Premier League

    If the top flight means big money, no one will want to play or watch the second level. Ask the Football League clubs. After all, everyone is trying to copy the Football Premier League, so you should talk about the downside. Franchising (in the sense of Counties pooling ressources) might be the...

    SS "Most overrated batsmen of all time: All of them"

    Don't doubt he was, but I think to say that great seamers are superior to great spinners in every case based on a vague quantity like "match-winning ability" is kinda fishy. If you had some elaborate statistics on hand that showed that Marshall/Lillee/Hadlee et al contributed more frequently to...

    **Official** Australia in West Indies

    Crud, was hoping Kat might land on his feet.

    Best bowling attack ever (4 bowlers)

    Jack Gregory Ted McDonald Charles Kelleway Arthur Mailey Warwick Armstrong Australia's attack in the early 20s does deserve to be mentioned, even if it's five bowlers.

    If Bradman played in today's era?

    Narf, cause they were as good as Swiss village cricketers. It's obvious when you think about it.

    Why do you love the game?

    It's got Neville Cardus, cucumber sandwiches and guys who use a log like a rapier. What more could you want?

    Who is the second great leg spinner ever?

    Was being facetious. 'Carving an argument' might have given that away. Or not. In any case it wasn't really a reply to your post, it just struck my eye there.

    Who is the second great leg spinner ever?

    I can't believe no one tried to carve an argument along the lines of 'Murali/Warne have better SR because the bats in their day are bigger which means they can get easier edges and boundaries are smaller which means catching is easier.'

    Who's better, Lillee or Hadlee?

    Is that AME Roberts? Or is there another Anderson Roberts I am unaware of?

    Who is the second great leg spinner ever?

    Barnes was a bit of a hybrid in that respect. Possibly deserves his own category.

    Unrecognised Match Tribute

    There has recently been an ICC decision regarding this. I never knew South Africa had no FC status between 1961 and 1991.

    Unrecognised Match Tribute

    I was refering to the South Africans. Regarding this, we can only agree to disagree.

    Unrecognised Match Tribute

    I'll just skip to the part which really interests me: No, it's not, I know. You obviously had this argument before. I'm not suggesting that World XI games should be regular fixtures, I just think that games that are history by now should be regarded for their quality and not for their political...

    Unrecognised Match Tribute

    If the argument you are trying to make is that only those matches that are organised by those with the welfare of cricket in mind then I would say it is an ideological and a misguided one. Were the organisers of the first tours which are now regarded as Tests interested in the welfare of...

    Are Kolpak players hurting English cricket?

    Or maybe England should have fewer FC teams.

    Four thumbs up

    He's patting the IPL on the butt, that's all.

    Unrecognised Match Tribute

    WSC and at least part of the Rebel Tests will eventually be regarded as Tests by historians, I have no doubt about that. The arguments against it are purely political and have nothing to do with the quality of cricket, which should be the only concern in the matter.
