    Is AB de Villiers an ATG?

    I think he's a South African ATG. Perhaps not so internationally.

    Historical footage: Impressions of some greats

    Mike Procter is the one cricketer I'd have liked to have watched a full international career of. As if we weren't spoiled enough by the four great all rounders in the 80s, it could so easily have been the six great all rounders, including Clive Rice.

    Would Stuart Broad make India's strongest test XI?

    Of course, he does.

    What nonsense, there is plenty of proof that Sachin Tendulkar exists.

    wtf just happened to cricinfo

    I like this. Will make it so much easier to convince people that the 2003 World Cup final never happened. :happy:

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I don't think I've ever clicked play on mobile because precious data, but they do play on desktop. There was even a phase when they used to auto-play. Speaking of hosts with whiny voices, I reckon there's more of it in cricinfo videos than in JAV videos.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Has anyone already mentioned how their videos almost always tend to have a misleading thumbnail of a player in action, but when you actually click play it turns out to be a droopy eyed dude with a whiny voice in a studio speaking into a cheap microphone that captures all the echoes?

    wtf just happened to cricinfo

    Cricinfo seem to have developed a counter for this ploy by completely forgoing the concept of a desktop version.

    Ashwin didn't really say that did he?

    No, this does not seem correct. Most likely he already knew about the tragedy and, in a moment of thoughtless stupidity (or over-thought cleverness, pick your poison), he saw it fit to compare it to the hiatus forced on his team. One does not just google up stuff to compare their situation to.

    Indian Cricket Dhaba

    The BCCI had nothing to do with this mess, for a change. This is entirely on the shoulders of the COA and the CAC.

    Fast as well as Spin Bowler.

    It could also be because they're bad or inherently unsuited to fast bowling. Sachin Tendulkar auditioned as a fast bowler at the MRF pace academy under Dennis Lillee. The reason he did not end up with a fast bowling career was neither injury nor diet.

    Guess the cricketer from the picture clues

    Is (4) Shivnarine Chanderpaul or Laxman Sivaramakrishnan? I figure that's Civ --> Siv.

    18th June - FINAL - India vs Pakistan

    You don't have to latch onto specifics. It doesn't have to be the 1992 world cup. It could have been any other tournament where a team with fixers in it wins the trophy. The point is that it is your own logic which forces the comparison. :unsure: I am afraid I have to be blunt here. You're...

    18th June - FINAL - India vs Pakistan

    Are you for real? The argument has never been that the IPL or CSK were perfectly clean. That's yet another strawman from you. The argument has been that an extraordinary claim like all of CSK's crunch wins being fixed requires extraordinary evidence. Evidence that necessarily implicates players...

    18th June - FINAL - India vs Pakistan

    You could wonder if unicorns exist and that would be just as relevant. It's okay to admit that you can't substantiate your claims in any meaningful manner. Indeed it is. It is also a theory that no one here has stated. If you're fixing a match in your favour, you need players in the opposition...
