    Leading players who had a disability etc (e.g. Len Hutton's arm)

    Few Zimbabweans. My hero Ray Price overcame severe coordination issues as a kid, caused by an operation to restore his hearing after childhood meningitis. Doug Marillier was in a serious car accident and in a wheelchair for several months as a teenager. Craig Ervine has a deformity of his...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Jordan Cox may leapfrog into the test team if he keeps this up. Excellent recruitment from Essex, as has been the norm for the last decade or so.

    Young players who failed to realise their potential

    He's had a very strong career by Bangladesh standards and is a lock in for their all-time XI, I don't think he wasted his ability.

    Young players who failed to realise their potential

    Vusi the Genius is a niche meme for some of the CW old timers, but yes, Stuart was also a very talented young man, indeed my first post on CricketWeb back in 2003 mentioned him as one to watch.

    Young players who failed to realise their potential

    Hero. Legend. Icon. One of those guys who would have scored thousands of international runs if he was born English or Australian. @Prince EWS

    Not only that but also mentally ill and IMHO people are taking advantage of him.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    The real problem is the international schedule. England play far too often, particularly test matches. Compare with Australia. It is one of the reasons recent overseas Ashes have been so one-sided. Would be interesting to compare the 183 day English season @Yeoman talks about with the...

    The kulaks must be eliminated as a class.

    Appreciate I was giving in to my dark side talking about Zak but this thread isn't the place to debate if he is a good cricketer or not.

    That's just tragic. RIP Josh.

    It's not about me and Zak, it's about what Zak represents.

    Cricketing politicians

    I expect Josh Inglis will run for the Liberals in WA when his career is over. There were rumours Andrew Strauss would be offered a seat in the Lords by David Cameron, but it came to nothing. Born on 99* and thinks he hit a ton Zak Crawley might be interested in running for the Tories in...

    Cricketing politicians

    Ed Cowan is a big time Liberal but he's not stood for them AFAIK. Just appeared in endorsement videos. If you play cricket in Wellington you will occasionally encounter politicians who play socially, not quite the same thing, but you learn a lot about a guy from how they conduct themselves...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    IIRC Worrall is eligible for Ireland - much better option for him if he wants to play international cricket. But this is more about $$$.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Essex used to be the only county with 200+ record stands for each wicket, is that still the case? Mainly thanks to Peter Smith hitting 163 from number 11 in 1947.

    *Official* Emerging Nations Cricket Thread

    Damn. No trip to Belfast for me. I am in the UK from 1 August. I grew up in the 90s, and sadly in my mind Belfast will always be like this. Of course I know this is a stereotype - I've never been to Ireland and to visit for a cricket match would have been ideal. This test should be fun.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I actually think they made the right decision not to take him to Pakistan. A season in county cricket will get him ready to take the new ball in the next test series. If they don't select him after that they probably never will.

    I've given up seeing Smith play for NZ until Southee retires.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Looking back at Khushi's season over here, he started at Seddon in Div 1 of the VTCA (my own club was in Premier) and then dropped down to Div 4 with Roxburgh Park, where he made 250* in his first innings. Apart from the obvious minnow bashing (VTCA Div 4 is higher than I could ever play, but...

    Kushi was playing in western Melbourne this off season, wonder if he was using illegal bats here.
