    ICC Sim League IX

    A strange feature of this tournament is that in each of the 9 times the team batting second has lost, they've been bowled out. In actual T20s, it's much more common to run out of overs (in internationals, this has happened in 61% of losses - 64% for Test teams).

    All-rounder-heavy Test teams

    Trying to pin down a team with *no-one* who even comes close to being an all-rounder is a bit fiddly, but the WI team at Nottingham in 1995 looks like a fair shout: SC Wililams, SL Campbell, BC Lara, RB Richardson, KLT Arthurton, S Chanderpaul, CO Browne, IR Bishop, R Dhanraj, KCG Benjamin, CA...

    All-rounder-heavy Test teams

    Conversely, the WI team at Wellington in 1956 must have one of the weakest tails excluding teams new to Test cricket: none of their last 5 (Binns, Ramadhin, King, Dewdney, Valentine) average more than 10 (and yet they still had Sobers, Goddard, Smith and Atkinson in the team, so again had 8...

    All-rounder-heavy Test teams

    The India team for the Trinidad Test of April 4-9 1962 all ended their Test careers with batting averages over 25. Despite this, they lost the series 5-0. The Australian team for the first Test after WW1 (Sydney, Dec 1920) had 9 players who ended their careers with batting averages of 35+. (In...

    Great domestic sides of the past

    There must have been some strong Barbados teams over the years: e.g. in the 50s when they had the three Ws and Sobers, or around 1980 when they had Greenidge, Haynes, Marshall, Garner, Clarke and Daniel.

    You could just assign him the team Kirsten, McCosker, Chappell I, Gomes, Toohey, Marsh, Le Roux, Walker, Mallett, Venkataraghavan, Lillee until he comes back.

    Great domestic sides of the past

    Yes, they had an extraordinary match against Somerset in 1901: Somerset 87 & 630 v Yorkshire 325 & 113; and then lost to them again in 1902. FWIW, TCF Prittie in "Cricket North and South" rated the 1925 Yorkshire team (Holmes, Sutcliffe, Oldroyd, Leyland, Rhodes, Kilner, Robinson, Lupton...

    Great domestic sides of the past

    Notts in 1887 had Shrewsbury, Scotton, Selby, Barnes, Gunn, Flowers, Sherwin, Shaw and Attewell. Plus Bill Lockwood, before he moved to Surrey (or had played Tests).
