    Was Ricky Ponting the best captain ever?

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    You guys realize that enforcing the follow on isn't the same as declaring your second innings for zero right? Australia were 322 runs behind which would have taken them 3 sessions just to get even and would have taken 4-5 sessions to get a lead of 100. Then they would need another session to...

    In South Africa, Virat scored 286 in 6 innings at an average of 47.7. Next best was De Villiers with 211 at an average of 35. Kohli was so ridiculously head and shoulders above everyone in that series. Pujara averaged 16 in 3 tests. Then, he goes on to back that up with 593 runs in 10 innings...

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    The interesting point here is that the Aussie bowling attack has been sort of taken apart/ground down over the course of four days. Perhaps their batting is indeed weak, but this was touted as the best bowling line up in the world. I I think this bowling line up is worse than the South Africans...

    There was a lot of reverse swing on offer in the last Ashes from both sides - England and Australia. It is funny that there's been no mention of reverse swing all series, post sandpapergate.

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    Mayank Aggarwal and Prithvi Shaw are going to be India's opening pair for the next 5 years potentially, with perhaps KL Rahul getting a look in if he gets back to form after some domestic games under his belt. In the middle order I feel Rahane's been given way too long a rope and I'd get Shubman...

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    Betting odds give 90% probability of an India win. India have good match ups...Ashwin will enjoy having two left handers in Marsh and Travis Head...after that/Paine you're really into the lower order which is going to be very difficult to survive for long on this 5th day pitch. Bumrah/Ash/Shami...

    Prithvi Shaw

    Check this out: Vijay Hazare trophy match yesterday. Prithvi made a quickfire 50 but got into trouble from Siraj targetting him with bouncers. Dropped twice in an over at fine leg and also scored a six from another top edge. He stays too leg side of the ball and doesn't get across/inside the...

    ICC investigation into corruption in Sri Lanka

    I doubt Sanath is involved in anything related to fixing. He's probably done this to protect his personal life. That being said, you have to realize that if you're THE Sanath Jayasuriya/Chairman of Selectors you have to be willing to hand in your phone any time if you want to be in that job...

    ICC investigation into corruption in Sri Lanka

    Thought we need a separate thread on this. Sanath Jayasuriya charged under ICC anti-corruption code - ESPNcricinfo Pretty shocking on the face of it. Do local Sri Lankans know what's gone on?

    Shastri "Pant is another name. He got his opportunity, he grabbed it, now he has consolidated it. [About Saha returning and challenging Pant] You've got to go on current form." Looks like Saha's not replacing Pant in the playing XI!

    *Official* West Indies Tour of India 2018

    Umesh being India's 4th/5th choice pacer with Mohammad Siraj looking like a serious bowler waiting in the wings and the likes of Nagarkoti/Mavi in the wings to replace these guys in 4/5 years time perhaps. 3 pretty gun spinners one offie, left arm orthodox and chinaman. Serious depth in Indian...

    Problem for Pant is, he's a batsman-keeper. His keeping skills were clearly inadequate in England so that's the problem. If Saha could bat like Pant then that'd be amazing.

    *Official* West Indies Tour of India 2018

    Pant is a hack. Can't keep, and bats like Suresh Raina. Will be an effective T20 and even ODI player but doesn't have either the temperament or the technique for Test cricket.

    Regarding Sanjay Manjrekar's article on Cricinfo and the flak that the Indian team of the 90s got for losing overseas...an interesting fact is that throughout the 1990s India never lost a single test by an innings overseas despite a) much worse bowling b) much worse lower order/tail/keeper...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    India's first innings this series, they were initially at 50-0 in 12 overs! Indian batting looked all so easy in those early overs when they were scoring at 4+ an over...how things have changed.
