    Which team will Mendis torment the most

    Having Sachin Bloody Tendulkar play you well doesn't denigrate your other good bowling performances. I mean, the man's one of the greatest batsmen ever.

    You gonna stick his skills on here for posterity too?

    When will South Africa play Sri Lanka in a test series again?

    *sigh* If only SL got to play a few more away Tests against the big nations, rather than following each 2-Test series against Ind/Eng/Aus with about 5 series against NZ/Bangladesh/Zimbabwe. The fact is that we're not a big draw away, and SL is a "scary" place to go. Come on, it's a small...

    Who was your first cricketing icon?

    Strangely, I didn't really get into cricket until I was doing my A-levels. Lots of revision time spent at home, and cricket gave me something to do instead! I decided to be a glory hunter and jump on the Warwickshire bandwagon -- I liked Dermot Reeve's style, and Lara was hitting it everywhere...

    ***Official - Sri Lanka in Bangladesh***

    I guess Mahela's plan was to give his team as much batting practice as possible while making sure that there was enough time to grind Bangladesh out if they put in a decent batting performance. Looks to me as though he found a reasonable balance, then Mendis and Dilshan put in decent...

    Archived [19/01/09] Battrick

    Just a handful of secondary pops on my trainee bats: 2. Joe Mulryne - 19 yo, BT Rating=48,216 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic fitness. A defensive player with respectable leadership skills and mediocre experience. Stamina: mediocre Wicket...

    CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

    I had most of my bowlers set pretty defensively, as I didn't think I was going to bowl him out. Sandwith's abject failure really scuppered me -- Mulryne, Reed and Fish did their jobs, but my senior batsman has had a very poor season by his exquisite standards. I'll return next season with three...

    CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

    Well, the lads kept up with the rate, but just couldn't keep their wickets intact. Asterix XI 274-6 Withington Wonderers 171-10 Arse. Another year, another season, another early exit from the CW Cup :( Ratings 176 for me, 255 for him, IIRC. Crushing.

    Cricket -- Hall Of Fame

    Nice post. Ranatunga might have done a lot for SL cricket, but his talent (and average) alone aren't anywhere near enough. Who's to say that a Waugh or a Cowdrey might not have done the same job if they were born Sri Lankan, and done it better? I'm really not clear on whether the HoF takes OD...

    CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

    Damn you, Watkins! 274 is just too much to chase against an elite/elite attack, esp. with Sandwith going for just 4 runs. My previous best against Adam is 184/10.

    CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

    Asterix batting, 62/2 from 16 overs. The pitch is H&F and it's partially cloudy and humid out there. Not too displeased so far -- hopefully I'll restrict them to 200 before being bowled out for 30 :(

    Unfortunately, Adam's accepted my challenge :(

    I challenged Asterix before heading off for NYE. Either Tuesday evening or yesterday morning, I can't remember which.

    CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

    How did I just know that was going to happen?! Well, I've beaten him before*, and I may just beat him again! * In my dreams.

    Cricket Web Battrick XI

    Hell yeah! Welcome to CW. Not a bad first post, really ;) BTW, Mulryne is now Rem/Rem -- wasn't going to update 'til he hit Wonderful, but his place might be in danger!

    CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

    And true to form, my lot collapsed like the SL OD side :( NIce win -- guess I went too attacking and just ran out of wickets.

    Archived [19/01/09] Battrick

    So the reports of the credit crunch hitting BT are true then?! That's pretty unlucky -- would have got £2.5M for sure earlier this season, if not more. Got two remarkable pops today: 21. Will Buckley - 21 yo, BT Rating=72,663 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping...

    CW Batstats Rankings

    Cheat! Cheat! Cheat! :twisted: Nah, I don't think BatStats includes fielding. I could be wrong though.

    CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

    Okay, so how exactly did Malik and Henry not manage to make more of a game of it? Mashed 'im by 142 runs (217/4 vs 75ao), with John's 4/17 from 6 overs (the wickets of #2 to #5) the standout. No matter who the MoTM supposedly was. I believe that means a clash of the Lankans for top spot in the...

    CW Batstats Rankings

    Impressive stuff from Trev -- surely a contender for some hypothetical Most Improved award?! Still haven't managed to hit that 200 -- shows how much difference PFL can make. Hope it's soon though -- wouldn't want to be enveloped by Cym.
