    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Not trying to knock Ranji at all, but CB Fry was another Sussex batsman before 1914 who averaged over 50, and they drew more matches in this era than any other county, so it might seem that Sussex had unusually good wickets for the era.

    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    Nurse's away record is boosted by his final series in New Zealand, when (according to Clive Lloyd) most of the team just wanted to get home after an unsuccessful series in Australia; but Nurse (who'd announced that he was retiring after that series) ended his career with a flourish, scoring well...

    I think the fastest are 19: George Headley 20: Jack Hobbs, Mike Hussey 21: Graeme Pollock, Viv Richards 22: Garry Sobers, Doug Walters 23: Don Bradman, Neil Harvey but don't take this as gospel.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    It's actually a pain trying to calculate this, because ratings are given by date, not by match, and change on the date when a match ends, while the match dates as given on Cricinfo are the start dates. But I think that Smith has now passed Sobers, and that Kohli, Richards and Hobbs are the...

    Best losing performance you have seen?

    William Mycroft took 17-103 for Derbyshire v Hampshire in 1876 - then the best first-class bowling figures in an 11-a-side match - and held a catch; but Hampshire still won by 1 wicket. Two players in that match had odd claims to fame: Mycroft was Conan Doyle's inspiration for the name of...

    If SA hadn't been banned from Test cricket, the 1974 side could have been quite handy: Barry Richards Sunil Gavaskar Viv Richards Graeme Pollock Greg Chappell Garry Sobers Alan Knott+ Imran Khan* Mike Procter Richard Hadlee Dennis Lillee Even the second XI is impressive: Geoff Boycott Gordon...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I forgot Rhodes played his last few Tests in 1930. I guess he comes in for Constantine if you want a second spinner. To pick a year which gives a few players not mentioned much yet, 1971 gives you Geoff Boycott Sunil Gavaskar Rohan Kanhai Greg Chappell Clive Lloyd Garry Sobers Imran Khan Alan...

    For 1946 it depends how you define “active” as SA and WI didn’t play any Tests that year. 1930 gives you Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Bradman, Headley, Hammond, McCabe, Cameron/Ames, Constantine, Tate, Larwood, Grimmett

    Biggest difference in an individual's performance in 2 consecutive series

    He averaged 37 in the West Indies series, which isn't too bad (and better than he'd done the previous winter in India). Tim Robinson probably had the worst decline across those series: 490@61.25 against Aus, 72@9.00 against WI.
