    Peaks draft voting thread

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Yeah, that'd be a better conversion to use if you include negative points for conceding runs/getting dismissed (which I might do next). 20 runs = 1 wicket seemed better for this, since the most runs in a series (974) is roughly 20x the most wickets in a series (49, or 51 for wickets+catches).

    Best Asian test team of all time?

    The 2007 England side would have beaten either the 1987 or 1992 England sides; and the 1986 England side wasn't very different from the 1987 one, unsurprisingly.

    @Himannv - (a) it's your pick, (b) I've just noticed that your set of dates for Adam Gilchrist overlaps (by 1 match) with Fuller Pilch's.

    @Himannv, @Fuller Pilch (2 picks), @ataraxia (5 picks); plus a reminder to @trundler that he needs to specify which Tests for Arthur Morris.
