    Does this hypothetical Test allrounder exist?

    Nope. 31.0 could be anything 30.95 to <31.05.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    This is going to be DKs last match. Mathews also should retire IMO. It is a sorry sight seeing how unfit he is. In addition Kusal Mendis has to be dropped, at least for the next test series. Let him continue with his white ball heroics. Nishan Peiris is tripe. Get Ramesh Mendis ASAP. I am not...

    Chose one player : Lara or Kallis

    Kallis, no brainer However McGrath vs Kallis is lot closer.

    Top 5 test cricketers since 1970

    Imran Hadlee Gilchrist Kallis Murali I'd put Sangakkara at 6 due to obvious reasons.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Clarrie Grimmett

    Sehwag still will maul him. FFS he was so ahead of everybody with his spin play.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Clarrie Grimmett

    Grimmet was destroyed by FC de Saram, who was playing for Oxford against Australians. De Saram was a good batsman, not even close to ATG (unlike Sathasivam, who was exceptional). It woukd be interesting to think what would be the response against current players who are much more aggressive...

    Actually, February is the driest month in Galle.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    Australia are deserving to be dictating terms. We had been so poor with ball, bat , field and keeping. captraining Kusal Mendis is useless. He has to go. Failed to catch, failed to call reviews, and even if he bats out of his skin tomorrow and scores 100, he should not keep. Chandimal or some...

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    Galle is in wet zone with average rainfall of 2400mm with no dry season. This is not monsson, it is thunderstorms. For North and East 3/4 of the country it is the fag end of the north eastern monsoon.. Then from May to September South Western monsoons sets in. Sri Lanka is one of those very rare...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Why? The whole exercise of comparing them against same opposition in same condition gets lost. We could add the home records too, to see what happens.

    Greatest English Spinner

    Laker. Don't think there is much debate. The second greatest English spinner would be interesting

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Andy Flower, Murray Goodwin and Dave Houghton were playing then. Infact they were better than England when it came to playing spin.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    This is if they bowled same number of deliveries to the same oppositions in away matches. Pakistan and UAE were considered as a single entity. There are two matches where Warne plated in SL against Pakistan, that also can be included in Warne's stats. Finally it comes down to averaging averages...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Murali failed in Australia and India. Warne failed in India, West Indies and in Australia against India. So I don't see how you can rate Warne on this. Warne rarely bulldozed batting lineups like Murali. Having an aggressive body language, sledging etc doesn't make a spinner more aggressive...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Since we are discussing Murali, they were dust bowls suited for Murali. Of course when we discuss Sangakkara, they suddenely becomes roads.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Had access to more tail end wickets, because of McGrath playing. And Played less against India as well. Just saying.

    Who is the best since Bradman?

    Sobers Sangakkara (as a pure bat) Barrington Smith Tendulkar Lara Sangakkara (whole career)

    Sehwag vs jayavardhan

    Sehwag had that destructive skill. So would give it to him. Mahela unlike Sehwag was pretty good facing short, fast, hostile stuff. Was magnificient puller and hooker.
