    England players and selection discussion thread

    ...claim to know much at all about this player, but I do like the idea of both Ollie Robinsons playing for the side at some stage, especially when the keeper takes a catch off his namesake. Not something that can have happened very often, and far more exciting than the Stokes, Foakes, Woakes thing.

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Really? Ian never came across as a guy who'd hold a grudge. Just ask his namesake from England :laugh:

    Wastemen etc

    Yes absolutely, Clarke took some time to break into the Australian middle-order. Just that my perception in Pakistani cricket is that the biggest talents will always debut in their teens. Thinking back to the years before Babar debuted, Pakistan would have had a very solid middle order -...

    Wastemen etc

    22 is still pretty young to debut Your namesake who was the biggest young talent in Australia since Ponting debuted when he was 23, which was much younger than most of his generation

    *Official* 2nd Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 13 - 17 Feb 2021

    Pant is like flowing water behind the stumps, a perfect whirlwind of athletic movement! KL "strike rate doesn't matter" Rahul and WP "DROPPED CATCH" Saha are like the diarehha that comes onto pant's namesake after a nightly intake of bajil behind the stumps!

    Meaningless and stupid cricket statistics

    Tendulkar would never have retired on a number like 6,996 Test runs. He would've made damn sure he got those 4 runs, not out no less. For that matter, 29 Test centuries wouldn't have sat well with him either. They have to be in 10's as per his namesake.

    Old Timers Reverse Order Draft

    Tim Horan is probably my favourite ever Australian sportsman, so I'll pick his namesake Tom. Tom Horan (1877)

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    With your namesake, you will figure being born in a certain continent is usually where it starts. :p

    Your favorite batsman to watch bat!!!

    i am one of those members of this forum who doesn't want to see barry's name brought up in most of the discussions about great batsmen, because those discussions are usually about test cricket and he did not play enough tests to be in the mix. however, his elegance and appeal and his greatness...

    Your favorite batsman to watch bat!!!

    ...tend to agree, however, with Trevor Bailey when he wrote that Barry "did not generate as much excitement as did the brutal strokeplay of his namesake Vivian, but his strokes had the elegance and discipline of a Keats sonnet." If consistent excitement is the metric, I still believe that Viv...

    Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

    If only Tom Coopers's part-time offies were more like his namesake's. (yeah I'm drawing a long bow to make this relevant here, shh)

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

    Burns has obviously taken notes from watching his English namesake bat - use the edge.

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    I think the "doesn't seem" is an unnecessary qualification, tbh. I'm far from big Matty's biggest fan, but he was a few classes above his smaller, even angrier namesake.

    33rd Match - New Zealand v Pakistan

    Can we make him a non-playing captain please? This has the feel of a banana skin game for NZ to me. I agree with those saying bring in Nicholls, Blundell and Southee for Munro, Latham and Henry. We really need Sodhi to get a game soon too, imo.

    Make Munro captain for namesake

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    :laugh: The point I’m trying to make isn’t necessarily supportive of Mark Wood, but more a case for including a genuine quick bowler to add variety to our otherwise one-paced attack. With the luxury of Stokes and Ali as genuine all-rounders we have four other bowling spots so can afford the variety.
