    Bid for position draft vote

    Congratulations to kingkallis and Pothas for their joint win, and to ankitj and ataraxia for running them close. Thanks again to everyone for taking part - was fun watching the bids come in, and watching the run of multiple picks in the middle of the draft! When some of the current drafts have...

    Drawn Test Matches - The Great Ones

    Checking up on this and related questions: 6 Tests had the first three innings all within 10 runs of each other (including one involving a declaration) and one was even closer than the match above: 2: WI v Aus, Port-of-Spain, 1978: WI 292 & 290, Aus 290 & 94 3: Aus v Eng, Melbourne, 1974: Eng...

    Drawn Test Matches - The Great Ones

    England v NZ at Lord's in 1931 (NZ's first Test away from home) was sufficiently entertaining that two more Tests were arranged for later in the summer because of it. NZ 224 (having been 130-1) Eng 454 (having been 62-4 and 190-7: Ames and Allen added 246 for the 8th wicket) NZ 469-9d Eng 146-5

    Drawn Test Matches - The Great Ones

    AFAICT that only applied to Ashes series: the only 6-day Tests in England were in 1972 and 1975 against Australia (plus there were various timeless final Tests from 1912-1938, of which the 1930 Test actually reached the 6th day). The 1974 Oval Test against Pakistan was a dull draw, but only over...

    Ascending batting average draft (tests)

    It means that after Round 1 there aren't any more rounds; whoever's most recent pick has the lowest average gets to pick next.

    Drawn Test Matches - The Great Ones

    The Aus v WI Tests at Adelaide in the 1960s both look pretty entertaining: 1961: WI 393 & 432-6d, Aus 366 & 273-9, having been 207-9 1969: WI 276 & 616, Aus 533 & 339-9, having been 304-3.

    Drawn Test Matches - The Great Ones

    England v West Indies 1963 Lords (WI 301 & 229, Eng 297 & 228-9, Cowdrey at the non-striker's end with his arm in plaster for the last two balls) is an obvious contender. England v India 1979 Oval (Gavaskar's 221 almost takes India to an unlikely victory) is another. One I've seen suggested...

    Imran v Hadlee v Miller

    Imran was picked in several Tests where he couldn't bowl (always, I think, as captain), usually batting at 6.

    Best ever medium pacer?

    Not sure "kept the lid on" is the right phrase - he went for about 5.5 per 8-ball over in the series, though with a decent average of 28,65. He had figures like 10-0-69-1 and 11-1-62-5. (Lillee's figures were similar; Walker and Gilmour kept it down to about 4 per 8-ball over). (Edit - just...

    Draft idea - bid for position

    Should perhaps make it clear that those are Dhoni’s figures in ODIs. Edit: that was supposed to be in reply to Line and Length’s post of his XI’s averages.

    Imran v Hadlee v Miller

    He scored 117 and took two 5fers in a match against India, but that was the only time.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Cowdrey was more of an opener than Trott; then you can put Graeme Pollock in at 5. Aubrey Faulkner for Hogg.
