    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread (white ball edition)

    FWIW here's the average* number of balls faced/bowled, runs scored/conceded, etc for each batting/bowling position in ODIs. (Of course the 5th bowler used isn't necessarily the 5th best bowler in the team). *average over the 8387 innings started in ODIs, according to Statsguru. Batting...

    Silent Draft

    Anyone else? Could do with a few more drafters.

    Silent Draft

    It's a couple of years since I ran a silent draft - anyone up for another one? As before, each drafter starts with $1,000,000 to buy their XI. As a change from before, this time I name an XI for each round, and the entrants e-mail me their bids for as many or as few of those players as they...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread (white ball edition)

    Only 5 players batted 50+ times at #9 (Lee, Mashrafe Mortaza, Vaas, Vettori and Waqar Younis).

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread (white ball edition)

    This is counting "opener" as a position; counting #1 and #2 separately you'd have Sharma & Tendulkar in team 1, Roy & McCullum in team 2. Bairstow is 3 good innings off both teams.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread (white ball edition)

    Roy McLean and Farokh Engineer are worth considering - two of the fastest scorers of the era.

    Grand Slam Draft Tournament

    Yeah, I spotted there weren't many top pace bowlers available so grabbed them while I could. Thanks to jimmy101 for the draft, and to honestbharani, milenko47, Marcuss and NUFAN for 4 very close match-ups.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Trying to produce an XI with the stricter rule that each pair must have actually played together, not just had overlapping careers, I came up with: WG Grace Alec Stewart Ken Barrington Denis Compton George Ulyett Les Ames Ian Botham Andrew Flintoff Wilfred Rhodes Derek Underwood Stuart Broad...

    The Real Pioneer?

    It's generous to say that Kaluwitharana was a success in the World Cup. His scores were: 0 (1b) v Zimbabwe (Jayasuriya 6 off 11, partnership 5; Gurusinha 87*, de Silva 91) 26 (16b) v India (Jayasuriya 79 off 76, partnership 53; Tillekeratne 70*, Ranatunga 46*) 33 (18b) v Kenya (Jayasuriya 44...

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Johnny Briggs I think has the best 10-match average (excluding players with <10 wickets in such a run). Obviously the 15-28 against South Africa helped his average considerably, but even in the 10 Ashes Tests before the SA tour his average is below Lock's (he didn't bowl in the first 2 of...

    Grand Slam Draft Tournament

    The Geoffs Dymock and Arnold were possible picks, but I don’t know that they’d strengthen either side.

    Griffith was born in 1938. (As was Colin Bland, but I feel I've left it a bit late to point that out).
