    Willow vs. Cedar vs. Pine cricket bat

    I'd be interested to try a bat made out of some other wood than willow. I assume the reasons for using willow are partly historical and partly that it's relatively lightweight and elastic. I can imagine cedar or redwood would be a good substitute, but I'd have thought oak would be too rigid and...

    Match #17 - Australia vs England - 8 June

    Finally England encounter conditions perfect for "bits and pieces cricketers", 25 years after they stopped picking them.

    T20 Blast 2024 (Started on 30th May)

    Any idea why Notts have been so cack? On paper that should be a very strong side, especially in the bowling department.

    Best Match Winning Innings? (That didn't win)

    Nasser Hussain's ODI hundred vs India. Fast by his standards but not fast enough to put a winning total on the board.

    T20 Blast 2024 (Started on 30th May)

    England discard David Willey single-handedly dismantles Notts while Roy, Pope and TCurran manage 16 runs between them for Surrey.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Northants managing to win the only close match of the night. Horrible last over from Reece but I guess they'd exhausted all their pace options by that point.

    Have you ever wanted someone to beat (Edit: or succeed against) the team you support?

    Whilst I wasn't exactly willing him on, Kevin O'Brien playing his innings of a lifetime to defeat England that time was special, and ruthlessly exposed the faults of our ODI bowling attack.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Well, Moeen came out of retirement for the last Ashes. Why not Jimmy for the next? Will be interesting to see if he packs up completely after Lords, or continues to play for Lancashire. They could do with a bowler who takes wickets.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    What's happened to Tom Lawes this season? He looked a good prospect. From @FBU 's list I can't see England picking Worrall (too Australian), Snater (too Dutch, too slow, not even an automatic pick for his county), Potts (injured and out of form), Mahmood (still returning from injury) or Fisher...

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Pennington is pretty rapid. Not quite on the Mark Wood level but easily as quick as Atkinson or Tongue. Is Snater really in contention for a place? Not sure he is even England qualified, is he? And surely they'd pick Porter ahead of him?

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Joey Evison got a howler as well, that ball would barely have hit a second set of stumps down the leg side.

    Leading players who had a disability etc (e.g. Len Hutton's arm)

    James Taylor was forced to retire because of a congenital heart problem.

    Leading players who had a disability etc (e.g. Len Hutton's arm)

    IIRC Colin Milburn continued to play after losing an eye in a road accident, but was understandably not so successful.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Smith and Foakes both out fairly cheaply. The delivery that got Smith looked like an absolute jaffa though.

    Best visiting Test batsmen in each country

    Yeah but the question wasn't "Which batsman had the best series in each country?" It was about their overall record. Graeme Smith's overall record in England is way better -- even before you consider that he was batting in a harder position, he was captain, and he actually won series.

    Bad cricketers who played too long

    Bit harsh on Jerome Taylor.

    Best visiting Test batsmen in each country

    Graeme Smith in England, surely? Averaged nearly 70 across 12 matches when England generally had pretty good attacks. Whilst opening. Steve Smith "only" averages 55 in England, albeit from more Tests.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    What has Foakes done wrong? Smith doesn't even keep regularly for Surrey AFAIK.
