    Who are upcoming potential good fast bowlers in your country

    Would have said Tom Lawes but he had a poor season in 2024. I like Ajeet Singh Dale, has good pace and his accuracy has improved. James Minto at Durham is v raw but also looks rapid.

    Where will Steve Smith end up being ranked?

    If we are not going to allow aesthetic considerations to sway us, should we then say that Shivnarine Chanderpaul is an ATG and better than Smith? Similar average over a longer career and often carried an increasingly crap Windies team.

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    I used to play recreational cricket with a guy who was a professional gambler. Think he was just very bored with life, having sold off his business and made a packet. Last I heard he was banned from every racecourse in the country for fixing.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    So with Moriarty and now Virdi going, do Surrey actually have a specialist spinner for four-day matches? Or are they just going to fly in Shakib al-Hasan whenever the pitch looks a bit dry?

    Thank You James Anderson- Farewell Thread

    That would be a more convincing argument if they hadn't then picked Chris Woakes in his place.

    England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Smith and Rae both played county cricket this summer IIRC and both looked pretty good from what I saw.

    ... and now confirmed. Interesting.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Duckett was a keeper early on in his career. Maybe they'll do something totally Bazball like take it in turns.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Rumours doing the rounds that Darren Lehmann will be the new coach at Northants.

    What parts of the game would you like to see return to modern cricket?

    Being able to sit on the grass around the boundary. Pitch invasions. Post match interviews in the changing room with everyone holding a beer and a fag.

    The decline of the part-time medium pacer

    It's still very prevalent in domestic cricket at least in the UK. I mean just look at the career of Darren Stevens. Not sure why it has gone out of vogue at the international level.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    What does Emilio Gay have to do to get a look in for the Lions? It's not like they've picked another promising opener in his place.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Agree it's bonkers to pick JOverton as a batsman, but I don't agree about his bowling. He's been way better since he moved to Surrey and cut down his run up.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Would have agreed about JOverton MkI but the MkII version since his move to Surrey is a definite upgrade.

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    I thought Hardie did very well with the ball this series, certainly way better than Abbott.

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    If you'd never seen any of today's players before, what would you have assumed about Will Jacks and Jacob Bethell?

    English Domestic Season 2024

    I think the difference is that those counties just poach the star players from other sides. The current Notts line-up for example features Duckett, Slater, Pennington, Stone and Joe Clarke who were all fully developed elsewhere before moving to Trent Bridge. When Surrey recruit from other...

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    Must say I thought Australia's score was at least 30 better than par, so that was a heck of a chase especially after being 11 for 2.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    At least Surrey's success is sustainable. They're not dependent on a sugar daddy like Hampshire, or on raiding the surrounding counties for promising young players like Notts.

    What happened to zafar gohar

    He's been stodging it out in the middle order for Gloucestershire the last couple of years.
