    who is to blame

    inspired by the southee discussions. you've got an over the hill player. maybe they're a legend, maybe they are just a toiler. but they are done. past it. you know they aren't coming back. maybe they'll have a solid show every now and then, maybe even show the odd flash of their former self...

    was talking to a mate about this today before we head to dogs wahs and figured i’d open it up to the floor: shoot us your favourite logos for world sport came up for me because i genuinely think the warriors might be up there for mine. there’s something abt the logo and jersey designs for the...

    ai ads

    i understand that ad revenue is important to keep the site running. i'd like to draw attention to these ads respectfully, aside from the horrible grammar and spelling etc, this is just defamation. it's concerning that these ads are being run on that level because they open the forum up to...

    Nature's Mysteries

    so talking to a mate about jimmeh's record in the ashes as many have been also mediocrity away is one thing and is pretty explicable given the sort of bowler which he is - those numbers in england are just mindboggling though, averaging thirteen more against my lot than he does at home...

    Player of the Match

    so i am in massive agreement with tjb here and i've been thinking of it a lot as re the world cup. a lot of people, now messi has won the world cup, will say that the messi and ronaldo debate is done and messi wins - they're right, to me, fwiw, messi is the clear winner. however, messi got...

    Double Nightwatchmanning

    so lyon is padded up as nightwatchman now and this is something i've thought about a bit nightwatchman comes out and quickly is sent back - it seems the general done thing is that the batsman just comes out; but is this right?

    Cricketing Scorigami

    so scorigami's a concept popularised by join bois, essentially recording every time there's a "unique" scoreline in the nfl. now given the wide variance in cricketing scores, appropriate adaptation of the concept would be unique margins. as an example: nobody has ever won a test match by eight...

    Jacques Kallis vs Jacques Kallis

    we know that of the three disciplines, kallis's batting was probably his best by a fair way. but what about the other two disciplines - elite slipper and useful support bowler for that squad, which of these brings more to a team?

    ATUXIs (90s-now)

    so all the crawley talk has got me thinking... let's make some All Time Undeserving XIs for decades from the nineties to the modern era. four decades that gives us! the reason i specifically say undeserving rather than bad - if you just say bad, you'll find that, eg, the xi for the 2000s might...

    Burgey average vs Women in Tests

    Burgey slots in at preferred position (4) for Australia for 50 tests in the next 5 years (and doesn't get injured). Perry and Lanning can decide between them who bats 3 and 5, they can alternate if necessary. Average prediction?
