    Should the rest of this series just be a preparation for Australia's subcontinent tours?

    Ha ha - In my present state I couldn’t even hold the door open for the team . . . As if I could do much more if fitter and younger ;) By the way, Root gets simply too much of the June’s for England’s performance. No captain in England (or elsewhere on the planet) could make up for the disaster...

    Hi L-and-L - sorry I looked but couldn’t locate your name on the CW site:( it’s always a good feeling to meet one’s seniors on CW. Doesn’t just make one feel good about one’s “youth” but also because you find a similarity of view that is not always the case with the ‘fitter’ lot ;) I hope I...

    Hi. Long time ? As I type this I am under an attack from Chikungunya which prevents every single joint in my body from moving unless I am willing to suffer the painful result. Doctors are extremely kind and are boosting my confidence with a diet consisting solely of pain killers and the...

    There you go. Dementia at work. I meant Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

    As well as old age will let me Anil. I will be 72 in six weeks. My sons are 2 and 3 years from their half centuries ?

    You are spot on my friend. That did it. That and the silly discussion around changing the captain when discussing the team’s unbelievable decline. They might as well blame Donald Trump for it - or Donald Trump for that matter.

    Every young cricketer MUST be made to watch England’s batting to understand what is meant by the term poor** footwork. ** I meant terrible/hopeless/deplorable/atrocious (all of them)

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    :) I like that. All time great sides exercise should never be taken too seriously. It is an impossible task and invariably unfair without putting in a couple of dozen caveats. But it is fun and the most common game that cricketers, ex-cricketers and cricket'd die-hard enthusiasts love to play.

    Aha. ������ So there you my friend. Yesterfay I was going through Hear, hear hear. Lend me your hear. And I just couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear or ar least sporting a ‘beatific” smile right through. My old cook came in to pick up the tea cup and found I hadn’t touched it. He told my...

    Tendulkar is selfish

    It’s really interesting how this has become such a hot topic. Yesterday at a friends 70th birthday party, at a restaurant with big tv screens showing the game ar WC, the discussion soon diverted to “Tendulkar is so bloody selfish. It was stunning to see that almost everyone who was speaking...

    The disappointment of the 2019 Cricket World Cup being a 10 team World Cup

    So. To cut it short (you don’t believe I am going to do that do you ? ) the game will be played for money, by money, by rules made to maximise money, shown to the wide world for money, commented upon purely for money (in my fatherland at least) . . . Academic discussions?? Of course. Be our...

    The disappointment of the 2019 Cricket World Cup being a 10 team World Cup

    2. The way limited overs game is kind of taking over what cricket is all about, why not link admission to the Test Club with the team’s standing in the shorter versions of the game . . . Not far fetched you know. Money is all that talks in our beloved sport. - If your country has a population...

    The disappointment of the 2019 Cricket World Cup being a 10 team World Cup

    Very good point about the quality of the matches as far as close versus one sided games is concerned. However, without getting into the debate as to who should or who shouldn’t be at the WC let me make a few points if you please. 1. Test matches being a criteria for inclusion is dicey...

    No that's not it Mr Sambit Bal

    Eleven years ago, late Rajan Bala, one of the finest cricket journalists from India ever, wrote a small piece on Dhoni, wondering, even that long back -what was to him something peculiar about Dhoni. He did not identify but wondered aloud . . . Rajan Bala was not one of those to mince words or...
