    ICC Sim League VII

    Great game and great result for me, but a pity we didn't have B Oldfield c B Oldfield. That's Lancashire's fourth win having been behind on first innings, the margins being 6 runs (v Yorks), 21 runs (v India), 3 wickets (v Pakistan) and now 4 runs; and they also beat Surrey by 3 runs. It's odd...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Splitting hairs a bit here: he took a 5-fer in 67% (18/27) of the matches he played; in 22% of them (6/27) he took two 5-fers.

    Oh, for one-day cricket, yes, Rice has a better claim. As does Hadlee for New Zealand.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Kapil was the top Indian player in both ODI rankings from June 1983 to August 1985, and for a few other short spells. For most of that time (and for a lot of 1988) he was in the world's top 10 ranked batsmen.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I wouldn't rate him above Jimmy Cook or Peter Kirsten) as a batsman, either (and Pollock was still playing until 1988). Sobers I'd have thought most people would rate below Hall and Gibbs, although his versatility is obviously a bonus. (And with him gifting England a series not everyone rates...

    Not really, I just type up the scores and bowling figures into a spreadsheet-like text file. The "top 20" (or whatever) lists are then produced using a Python script.

    DoG's Top 100 Test Bowlers Countdown Thread 100-1

    Venkataraghavan played into the 80s, and Kapil played a few Tests alongside Bedi and Chandrasekhar. Admittedly, they (the spinners) all averaged over 40 in those games. He also played alongside Kumble at the other end of his career.

    Chris Read didn't play in the 2000 E v WI series. Walsh dismissed Thorpe lbw with a slower yorker in that series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW0P4Jaki2U.
