    Modern New Zealand XI (dayboo post 1980) last poll: Sneak me in the back door

    That's more like it Flem with Rigor & your namesake up top. Cairns fairly obviously for the last spot. Watling, Astle & Nash all a little unlucky for mine.

    Don't think KL Rahul has any similar characteristic compared to Dravid

    Vinay Kumar is a namesake but no similar characteristic.

    ***Official*** Indian Domestic Season 2014/15

    ...part about KL Rahul's shots is that he doesn't slog them. Is a batsman in the classical style. The loops of his strokes are smaller like his namesake as compared to a Tendulkar. Doesn't stop him from making runs fast as despite his attention to 'correctness', he is always looking to make runs...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2014/15

    ...real bowler and just bowls bouncers and full deliveries as fast as he can. if i had to name a kiwi bowler i wanted to copy MJ it would be either his namesake Mitch M or Gillespie. in fact Gillespie in full flight is just getting the ball to rear up and follow the batsman from a length at...

    Fiery Syd

    Not a bad article on one of cricket's most interesting characters. As usual, Steen weighs in as to what Barnes actually bowled - fast-medium which makes him a viable opening or first-change bowler in an ATG team, or medium-paced spinner, which puts him more in the Bill O'Reilly category, and...

    "Best ever" teams selected by former players or experts- whose is best?

    Barry Richards was certainly the best batsman I have seen - I've written a feature about him which will appear in the not too distant future

    "Best ever" teams selected by former players or experts- whose is best?

    ...him above Gavaskar and Greenidge (as do many who played with/against them at Hamshire) and on par with IVA and Sobers. Barry was with his namesake and Chappell the best batsmen by some fair distance in WSC and he dominated first class cricket the world over. If Wasim can gain selection based...

    "Best ever" teams selected by former players or experts- whose is best?

    Gavaskar V Holding + Roberts 1976-1983 Tests = 9 Runs = 690 Ave = 53.07 100s = 3 HS = 236 Gavaskar V Marshall + Holding 1983 Tests = 11 Runs = 745 Ave = 41.38 100s =3 HS = 236 Gavaskar in the West Indies 1976 -1983 Tests = 9 Runs = 630 Ave = 42.00 100s = 3 HS = 156 Gavaskar did...

    "Best ever" teams selected by former players or experts- whose is best?

    ...a series of breathtaking innings in Sheffield Shield cricket. After that Richards was generally acknowledged as the world's best until his namesake Viv began his great run in 1976. You will find many journalists and players stating that Hutton was the world's best batsman after Bradman's...

    Test Cricket's 25 Greatest Smiths

    ...the calypso back to Caribbean cricket with a wonderful debut century. Smith had been given a surprise opportunity - ahead of his Grenadian namesake Devon - when Marlon Samuels flew home with a knee injury. It was rumoured that Viv Richards had recognised something of himself in the stance of...

SF Barnes and his Australian namesake should each have played more times for their respectively countries too. More recently Brad Hodge, famously the owner of the worst personality...

    *Official* English Football Season 2012-13

    As long as the end score of the game is the same, i'll take it. :p A 4-3 win to United and a game like that will cause a few heart attacks, but we'll still go through.

    ...very easily have won it as well, given the chances they missed in the last quarter. My fear for MU is that Ronaldo is now set to match his namesake's performance at Old Trafford all those years ago when he single-handedly saw off the challenge from MU and left the pitch to a standimg...

    Whinging Poms?

    ...pages of Wisden; England's attack practically reads like a who's who of our postwar bowling greats and, on paper, at least looks a match for the home battery. & another (near) namesake for that thread: John Mortimore, who didn't create such a compelling case for the defence as Rumpole might've.
