    ***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

    KDB seems to be ok, he might miss a game at most. Jesus is likely to miss a longer period with Guardiola stating theyll be looking for cover. A player or two will help, plus it helps Aguero out too so he doesnt have to play as much as he would if Jesus was out for a month. City have plenty of...

    The lack of competitiveness of Test teams away from home

    Well, since the end of the great SA side, Pakistan had fared ok under Misbah in away tests before it all came to an end losing to NZ (the first time in 30 years I believe) and Aus (to be expected). England too, have found a bit of hope away, in beating SA, which should not be overlooked but yes...

    Road to the 2019 CWC

    The way the format is, even with 10 teams they have far too many matches. It would make more sense to have groups in the opening stage, rather than a round robin. As it stands, the entire tournament will feature 48 matches. The football world cup, with 22 more teams had only 16 more games. It's...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

    Why all these talks about pitches being too slow and boring? have you lot not watched cricket in Australia for several years now? A lot of the pitches over there have become slower and slower. Maybe the MCG hit a new low but its the natural progression of more batsmen friendly, lifeless pitches...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

    Why is it that we in England have to do the whole "everyone does it" schtick every time one of ours does something bad/stupid? That just isn't the case and neither is it a sound defence even if it was. So you think players should be allowed to change the condition of the ball in anyway they...

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

    Sterling has been better than Rashford for years. I cant think of a single time when Sterling would not be picked over Rashford. Heck, Sterling was the only bright spot in England's 2014 WC campaign or was it the Euros, I can't remember now. There are currently only 2 players in England who Id...

    Boxing thread

    I think actual boxing fans have always known how good Saunders is in terms of skills but he used to lack world level stamina, punch output and shape. Far too often he;d come in a bit chubby and gas by the 6th. By his own admission, he changed his diet, life style and training team. Ingle has...

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    I'm in too but I don't understand the new rules. 8 players have to be picked from the assoc nations? Isn't that just the same as at least 1 from those nations as previously stated?

    ODI Modern Country Draft (2000s)

    In. Should be good fun but it's a bit harsh that Bangladesh are lumped in with Afg and Ireland?

    Australian selectors how good are they

    The selectors are only as good as the players they have to pick. Take this same team over to the UAE or India and Aus get hammered...well they did already. Bring them to England and they might be as competitive as England are in Aus. Everything must be in context. This is not the side of the...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

    Also, on the topic of ball tampering, what do you all think? Jimmy and England are not denying he used his fingernail, the excuse is simply that he was trying to flatten a piece of leather. Does that not count as changing the condition of the ball outside of natural bounds? I can name a couple...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

    I once called Broad a girl, he just turned and laughed and carried on with his fielding. As long as none of the jabs are racially or religiously motivated and there isn't the use of swear words, players should be able to handle it. If it gets to the point where it crosses the lines, those fans...

    Road to the 2019 CWC

    I can't imagine India winning the tournament unless BUmrah all of a sudden becomes a threat outside of India against better sides. How many ODIs are India playing against Eng, SA, Aus and Pak away? Leading up to the WC ofc. That will prove what BUmrah has, if he has anything. The thing is...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

    There is nothing on the line. England have lost the series, not been competitive for more than a day in the last three tests combined, and looked hapless throughout apart from a few bright spots. Winnings or most likely, drawing at the MCG changes none of that. Players at the end of their...

    Team of the Year 2017

    This is a tough one. There have been some standouts and a lot of mediocre players. PLus a lot of players have had stats heightened by weak opposition in home conditions (Kohli, Jadeja). I'd go for something like 1. Elgar (Scored big at home but also toughed it out a bit in England) 2...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I agree, Hayden is vastly underrated on this forum. He is easily in an Aussie all time XI and would be a great choice in an all time world XI, although personally I'd have 4 or 5 names I'd pick above him. On top of that, he was a modern test batsman before we even understood what that meant. His...
