    Wicketkeeping standards

    Yes. I think thats it. These earlier posts of JBMac confirm it . . . and I think that bit about being reduced to an "arm chair umpire" is an oblique reference to his being one of the first international match referees.

    More of a CW namesake but there's a guy at my uni called Robert Cribb. Weirds me out.

    Hurricane/Wayne - Fizzing at the Bung

    ...close to actually becoming that before I was born, so it seemed logical to me. But yeah, the whole talented bits and pieces cricketer who the selectors use to turn a strength into a weakness thing does make the name very apt. Hopefully I perform closer to my potential than my namesake though.

    Much as my namesake probably deserves a Michelle, Fat Gray has to give the leggie a trundle soon, surely? EDIT: Ha, D'oh. Not the captain's finest few moments.

    Group B Discussion - Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal

    Does look like he's having an increasingly affectionate relationship with the pies, Cristiano. Not at the level of his bucktoothed Brazilian namesake, but has definitely filled out since he's gone to Madrid.

    Would Stuart Broad make the world's strongest XI?

    My only - and this really is a very minor - concern with this attack makeup (which ftr is probably the same one I'd pick) is that in the pace department you're going to have a few issues with left-handed openers, of whom there are a somewhat ridiculous amount around at the moment (Cook, Strauss...

    Would Stuart Broad make the world's strongest XI?

    Yeah definitely agree with all of this. Except the last bit :p.

    Would Stuart Broad make the world's strongest XI?

    Thankyou Brumby. Completely agree with this. I have been saying it for ages and yet I get stick for going with Broad, Steyn and Philander by quite a few English posters. I disagree about the spinner though. Ajmal's deliveries look so much better. :p

    Would Stuart Broad make the world's strongest XI?

    ...ways through the air. Despite Jimmeh's undoubted improvement, Steyn's figures, both overall and more recent, are better. So I'd go with my namesake. It's true Philander has only played seven tests, but he's taken 51 wickets at a tick over 14 each. Leaving him out would be "bloke who rejected...

    Yeeeeeeeeeeees. I don't like the look of Taylor . Non that of his namesake either, actually. Bairstow or (Straight Outta) Compton

    CW All-Time XI Openers

    The legend of Barry Richards is based mainly on his first class career and he stint in WSC. But the average of 72 doesn't hurt either. He was seen by many as the second best bat of his generation after his namesake.

    Mohammad Sami vs Ishant Sharma

    Sami and his relative namesake Sammy are the best example of why a bowler first needs some consistency in line & length over all olther things in order to forge a decent test career.

    How good is the Pakistan Team right now? (AKA the Pakistani climate thread)

    Usman Khawaja?

    How good is the Pakistan Team right now? (AKA the Pakistani climate thread)

    Get Usman Salahuddin in the team. I'll finally have a namesake with a jersey.

    Son of a Preacher Man

    Yeah. JWHT Douglas probably the most interesting Essex cricketer from back in the day, but there's a fair bit to talk about Peter Smith from what I've read previously. I must confess to knowing precious little about Ray Smith though.

    Son of a Preacher Man

    Peter Smith is a pretty interesting character tbf, in fact there were a few others at Essex in those days not least his namesake Ray - as I say I'll give it some thought

    welcome on board sphynx......I hope you don't possess the actual qualities of that mythical creature that is your namesake :)

    Not good for the Westfield brand having this rubbish associated with their namesake.

    not sure about Talha. Should try the ladies namesake (Sadaf)
