    Durham County Cricket Club

    He was two years above me at school. Played on the Rift House Rec which us how I think Pools noticed him. Unsurprisingly the fans didn't endear themselves to him.

    Durham County Cricket Club

    Let's hope he has a better scoring record than namesake John ex Brierton Comp with 14 goals in 117 games before moving to the dark side , Played in the 80''s alongside the recently departed Alan Shoulder and Stanley lad Kevin Dixon who played cricket for Annfield Plain ,Kimblesworth and Lanchester

    Has anyone had a worse downfall than Virat in Test cricket?

    ... He did celebrate a bit though & why wouldn't you as it was a nice peach of a delivery. I just wonder how many might've 'backed off' a little if he was a little more stoic about it & THAT pissed them off. Of course,there's always going to be a horde legion of rabid fans who'll hate his guts...

    Has anyone had a worse downfall than Virat in Test cricket?

    And now his fans abusing the bowler who got him out. Actually his namesake got so much abuse on insta, that he needed to put up a story stating he isn't the bowler. Anyway, Kohli needs to retire asap

    **Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

    @PaulLennon's disappearance from cricketweb.net is akin to that of his namesake Allen from American Psycho. Mysterious

    Warne vs Gavaskar

    Over careers, I don't think there's much to separate Viv and Sunny. That pretty much covers it. After Don, it's Hobbs and Tendulkar; then Sobers, Lara, Smith, Hutton, Viv and Sunny.

    Warne vs Gavaskar

    ...as the best batsman in the world (Sunny's career very much being included in that stretch), taking that mantle from again I'll repeat, his namesake. So if we really want to start separating this top tier even further, it's Bradman and Hobbs, then Tendulkar, Richards, Sobers, then again...

    Warne vs Gavaskar

    Yeah, I think Imran and Ambrose have sufficient cases over Warne. And yeah, I think Gavaskar has a case over anyone not named Bradman, Hobbs and Tendulkar. Will leave at that and that you rate Barry over him so can't take your ratings of him seriously anyways.

    Warne vs Gavaskar

    ...rampaging Lillee. Again, he too was the best batsman of his era and the dominant batsman of the decade. After a brief intermission of his namesake it was another Richards that took over the mantle of the best batsman in the world after two dominant years prior to WSC, where again he was one...

    Brian Lara vs Kumar Sangakkara

    ...around the second best batsman. First Boycott, then briefly Lawrence Rowe, then Greg Chappell, and finally Viv Richards who took his namesake's crown in 1976. County cricket had dulled Sobers' edge, though he could still play outstanding innings. Pollock, staying at home in South Africa, got...

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/threads/3rd-best-english-pacer-medium-pacer.91246/post-5123662 Sunny's peak was from 76 to 83..... Seems familiar? His peak totally coincided with Viv's. Chappell had the media backing and by considering 80s only, Border was better than both Viv and Sunny. Peer...

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    ...impact are kinda important. But even more so, from '76 when Sir IVA Richards took over the mantle of the best batsman in the world from his namesake, there was not a time when he was threatened until his own decline, and the general though with regards to Sunny was that Chappell was better in...

    DK is getting as obnoxious as his other namesake; Murali

    Jacques Kallis vs Jack Hobbs

    It can be a benefit sure. It can also be a detriment, which is apparently impossible to grasp. Note I never said that a high strike rate was a bad thing. I also said describing dominance in terms of strike rate is silly and I’ll stand by that. I think you could equally dominate an attack by...

    Jacques Kallis vs Jack Hobbs

    ...a session and was without doubt the 2nd most important factor for one of the two greatest teams of all time, and a session of him and his namesake could (and have) demoralize an attack and set up a victory when the result was previously in doubt. A session of Sobers and Richards can change...

    *Official* South Africa Tour of the West Indies, AUGUST 6th to 26th, 2024-- 2 TESTS & 3 T20Is

    Bro Brad Hodge would play 150 tests if he was available for selection in this Windies side .. These batters just bring pain and suffering to Windies fans and need a reality check , they are mediocre as **** , they will look good in 1 or 2 innings then go missing for the next 10

    This battle is absolutely exhilarating. Kaveem is much better at handling the short ball than his namesake Brad.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    Pitches in the 30's and immediately after the war were more than a bit one-sided. Then they seemed to over correct, but probably for the betterment of the game.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    I definitely think, similar to Hobbs they were both likely at their peak right before their respective wars. (Hobbs obviously peaking and continuing at a much later age) Nah Laver is better.
