    CW Ranks the Bowlers

    The strange thing about the voting pattern here is that although Warne was ranked second in the first round, suggesting he'd be a strong candidate to take the number 2 slot, here we are voting for number 5 and he still isn't getting the recognition. Ambrose won the number 4 vote, but he was...

    Andrew Strauss - Not a bad start, chap.

    The point you might (?should?) have made is about Bradman's performance on sticky wickets. Seems to me the accepted verdict on Bradman is that he never managed to adjust to sticky wickets, but nevertheless he is universally recognized as the greatest of the greats. Based on that, weakness in...

    Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

    OK, a nice simple one as we seem to be getting the two trivia formats all muddled at the moment. Who was the first person of whom it can be said "played ODIs but never played a test"?

    Luckiest and Unluckiest batsmen

    This first chance thing is an interesting way of looking at the world. But... If you depend on a simplistic formula -- "the failures of the opposition should not be taken into consideration, the chance should have been taken, all chances should be seen as out" (which is what I understand the...

    Gillespie - All Rounder??

    I *do* enjoy Richard's arguments. Here, he seems to be saying that a discussion of a player's quality must not be confined to the international level. Yet on the 'Luckiest and Unluckiest Batsmen' thread he is saying that the international level is the only level that counts (e.g., this from...

    All time best player of all teams

    I think you very definitely can know that someone has talent. What you can't know, until giving them a try, is if they have the determination or temperament to utilize that talent to the full.

    Langer outscores Pakistan in both innings

    Langer's achievement is different from those in that in *each* innings his score was higher than Pakistan's total for the innings. I agree that this is probably a unique achievement.

    **Official** England in Namibia and Zimbabwe

    Of course, totally agreed. But that doesn't change the fact that it would make more sense to play Anderson in effectively a no-lose match hoping he'd find some form for the future, whereas frankly Gough doesn't need that.
