    *Official* West Indies in India

    no, no, there are no bad crowds. (unless they do something ridiculous like set fire to the ground lol). mean just look at some other sports such as basketball. you go to the stadium and when the opposition is going for a freethrow they are actively distracted by the crowd using those long shaky...

    Richards still King!

    oh come on I can show you equally impressive stats. Tendulkar innings/100s : 9.2 Richards innings/100s : 15.2 -Fact that tendulkar started at 16 and didn't even have a hundred till his 70somethingth match. so actually his innings/100s since 100 no. 1 till now is closer to 7.8! and didn't they...

    Richards still King!

    when you say it like that I am forced to repost this: viv is excellent I get it, but it's like tendulkar is being underrated almost... the dude averages 45 since he waas 16 years old. that's 70+ odis batting as a finisher, something he wasn't even good at. thats 70+ odis without a single...

    New Feature: The Greatest Test Innings

    i hope the point of entry addition does not penalize openers now because that would be unfair as well. unless ofcourse there is some variable that includes number of wickets that fall while you're on strike (so openers who carry the bat get added bonus to make up for the point of entry problem)...

    ODI all-time XI's for each nation

    also imo ganguly instead of jayasuriya. edit: and as brilliant as murali is in tests and ODIs. IMO the best ODI spinner ever is saqlain. stats seem to support this as well. so switch them.

    ICC Warns SL for Galle pitch

    agreed. there's even a quote in wisden somewhere, where it says something like (paraphrasing) "and again a supposedly poor pitch produced one of the most exciting test matches from start to finish."

    ICC Warns SL for Galle pitch
