    All time ODI XI discussion

    I think one of these was started a while ago but a fresh one can’t hurt considering there’s been some England discussion. Aus is pretty clear cut imo Adam Gilchrist Mark Waugh Ricky Ponting Dean Jones Andrew Symonds Mike Hussey Shane Watson Brett Lee Shane Warne Mitchell Starc Glenn McGrath...

    What will Pat Cummins’ legacy be?

    Lots of comparative clickbait stuff doing the rounds comparing him and McGrath at the same point in their careers. Very similar avg and SR. He’s 30, and injuries aside should have at least a few more years in the game. He takes 4.5 wickets a test and has a phenomenal SR. Will pass 300 wickets...

    Internationals in domestic cricket

    Neser made 170 in a recent County game. England seems to have a lot of non English players in their domestic comp. Australian states used to do this but don’t seem to any more. Does CA not allow it nowadays? Is it beneficial or not to a country’s test interests?

    Why is an overthrow that goes for 4 attributed to the batsman as 5?

    Doesn’t make sense to me

    The CricketWeb comprehensive list of ALL TIME GREATS (ATGs) discussion

    Well, I'm in iso on NYE so what else can I do? My criteria for an ATG might be different to others, but I think any player who wouldn't look completely out of place in most nation's ATG XI deserves the accolade. It's quite exclusive, therefore. Here they are: Openers Hutton Hobbs Gavaskar...

    Why does impact matter in an LBW decision?

    What does it matter if it’s hitting a player outside the line but going on to the stumps?

    Australian test selection 2021-2

    Well, I usually start one of these. I’d go: Warner Khawaja Labuschagne Smith Renshaw Green Inglis Cummins Lyon Hazelwood Richardson Pukovski to replace Usman at some stage. Starc and Abbott in the wings. Kurt Patterson too.

    Nightwatchmen

    Interested to know how effective they’ve been over the years. Statistically. Hoping someone smarter than me can provide some evidence of their effectiveness or otherwise. - how many times have nightwatchmen been used in the last 100 years? - how many times has a nightwatchman been dismissed...

    Andrew Symonds was a legitimate 5th bowling option in ODIs

    Sorry, just sick of the Jimmy Anderson stuff.

    Best non batsman, batsmen.

    Over the course of cricket history, who do you think are the twenty best batsmen who spent the majority of their innings batting at #7 or below in the batting order?

    Boundary rule in cricket

    Currently, if any part of the fielder is over the boundary and they touch the ball, it’s a boundary. Wouldn’t it make more sense for the rule to simply be if the ball goes on/over the line, it’s a boundary? Would be simpler to determine the majority of the time too.

    Paine and Ashwin interactions

    Anyone hear this on the Fox coverage? Stump mics were really clear. Ashwin pulled away from facing Lyon 3 times because of Paine’s sledging. And tbh it was pretty crass stuff, had very audible on the coverage. Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere, was just interested in ppl’s opinions.
