    ICC seriously considers 2 divisions,7/5 split.

    Looking forward to this being implemented, England getting demoted and the Ashes never happening again.

    Let's not sell him short.

    ICC seriously considers 2 divisions,7/5 split.

    I actually think this sounds like a really good idea if properly implemented. Limiting the size of the top division to 8 means it's more realistic for each team to play each other team once home and away within a reasonable timeframe, which makes the ranking system more directly relevant and...

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    Yeah if Reiffel held the catch the previous over SA are all out and lose by 15 runs. Or even if Lehmann hits the stumps the previous ball, it's a less absurd run out and just a standard mixup with some sharp fielding. So many ways it could have gone, but it definitely went the funniest way.

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    99 semi is the biggest choke I've ever seen in any sport honestly. You can write off the large scale choke of losing after needing 160 at 4 an over as Warne turning the game, and then it was a pretty normal close ODI with SA needing 7 an over off the last 10 with 6 wickets in hand, losing a few...

    *Official* English Football Season 2015-16

    The Jordi Alba/Giroud thing from last night's game is a good example of the sort of thing that bothers me a lot more than diving does. Feigning off the ball contact to the head and playing for a red that way.

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    I think the most damning criticism of New Zealand across the 5 tests is that it'd be hard to give any kiwi players a spot in a combined XI aside from Williamson. There's really nobody who had a good series, except maybe Wagner who only played one test, and Taylor who has a good record but made...

    Adam Voges average watch

    This cricinfo stats article does a good job showing how rare this streak of form is, for the Australian top and for Voges in particular: Stats analysis: Runs and records for Australia's top five | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo The section on Voges season average:

    Voges takes his rightful place on this list at 21 innings: http://howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Batting/BattingBestAfterXInnings.asp?Stat=2

    Looking forward to two more not outs from these two here. Just to really **** Bradman.

    This is dumb. Just take lunch.

    This rule is pretty dumb honestly. Fair enough if it's the end of the day, but just take lunch. If they don't get it here they're just taking lunch anyway in an even dumber situation.

    Big Daddy Kane or TPC - Who Will Dominate The Upcoming Series?

    3/140 is an innings in the balance. I'd go as far as to say this is actually a demonstrable fact, if you look at the average scores teams have to score to win test matches. On 95% of international pitches, there is no way the batting team is in control of the game at that score. They aren't in a...

    Assuming nothing crazy happens, man of the series is going to be hard. Maybe... Smith? Nobody else has really had a particularly good game in both tests. Hazlewood would be the other choice but he didn't take a lot of wickets here, even though he bowled pretty well. Most runs and wickets are...

    Well deserved 5 for Bird, didn't think he had that in him during the first test, looked terrible. Solid effort from NZ. Overall 335 isn't a great score but it's enough to give them an outside chance.

    I'm mostly alright with the #intent cliche stuff, I think an aggressive approach is normally pretty good. But you'd think that a number 9 batting with an established batsman would be willing to focus on survival for a few overs under these conditions. That said he's doing much better now so...

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    Why is Henry swinging wildly at deliveries well wide of off? It's so ****ing weird. Watling is still there and the lead is 90, New Zealand could add another 100 runs if the tail hangs around and Watling bats well. That would drive me nuts as an NZ fan. Lyon, Siddle, Hazlewood etc aren't the...

    Been really good from Bird with the old and new ball. Impressive stuff.
