    Change A Letter In A Cricketer’s Name To Get The Name Of Another Cricketer

    Can add Teddy Hoad to the start of this. Also can extend my earlier suggestion to Paul Terry - Bob Berry - Cyril Merry - Ellyse Perry - Derick Parry - Jack Harry. A couple more: Eric Marx - Alfred Marr - Donald Carr - John Warr - Alan Ward Neil Wagner - David Warner - Joel Garner

    Decade draft

    Very simple idea: you can only pick people whose entire Test career was within a single calendar decade. By a calendar decade, I mean (for example) "the 1950s", covering all dates from 1 Jan 1950 to 31 Dec 1959. So the years of the player's first and last Tests must both start with the same 3...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Given that they didn't go back to before 1900 because there wasn't enough international cricket before then, it seems odd to pick Bradman for 1936, when in Test cricket in that year Grimmett took 33 wickets in his 3 matches, Fingleton scored 4 hundreds in consecutive innings, Hammond scored 167...

    Players better/much better in international cricket than domestic

    A more authentic case: Stanley Jackson: FC 33.83, Tests 48.79, His bowling averages were also very different, but in the more usual direction: FC 20.37, Tests 33.29.

    Players better/much better in international cricket than domestic

    One case (that I think I've mentioned on CW before) which doesn't really count as his Test career was 2 matches, but always amuses me... In the first two Tests of all, Allen Hill scored 35*, 0, 49 and 17* for a Test average of 50.5. As he also took 7 wickets I always assumed from this that he...

    2021 English Cricket Season

    Boycott (who's a few weeks older) also made has last hundred in the same round of matches, but maybe a day or two earlier. Looks like Gooch (43) was the oldest since then before Stevens.

    Players better/much better in international cricket than domestic

    Hobbs (50.65 FC, 56.94 Tests) and Sutcliffe (51.95 FC, 60.73 Tests). Several of their 1928-29 team-mates also had higher averages in Tests, though by a lesser extent or in a short career: Hammond (56.10 FC, 58.45 Tests) Mead (47.67 FC, 49.37 Tests) Leyland (40.50 FC, 46.06 Tests) Jardine (46.83...

    Change A Letter In A Cricketer’s Name To Get The Name Of Another Cricketer

    Change one letter and add a couple: Viv Richards -> Vic Richardson. About 20 years ago, there were three batsmen called MJ Powell in county cricket: Michael John for Glamorgan, Michael James for Warwickshire and Mark John for Northamptonshire.
