    Chris Broad

    So an interesting player I’ve noticed in some stats a lot recently.. Chris Broad. He was before my time and I never see him mentioned much. Does he have much of a story? Bloke averages 57 away with 6 tons and a fifty in 20 innings, but averages just 26 with 5 fifties in 24 innings at home. Was...

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    Recent post inspired this. So this is assuming the rest of the XI remains the same, but if this extra player was available, they’d make the XI no question. Batsmen: Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Hutton, Bradman, Tendulkar, Lara, Viv, Sobers. Keepers: Gilchrist Bowlers: Marshall, McGrath, Hadlee, Steyn...

    Keith Miller vs Ravindra Jadeja

    Who is the better bowler?

    Clarrie Grimmett vs Hedley Verity

    Who was the second best spinner of the interwar period?

    Peter May vs Denis Compton

    Historically both by “experts” and most here, Compton has been rated clearly higher. Personally, I think as with Hill/Trumper, the case is not so clear cut. Some relevant stats May 4537 @ 46.77 13 tons 22 fifties 40 SR Compton 5807 @ 50.06 17 tons 28 fifties 41 SR Both were HTB’s but despite...

    How would you rank the other Windies pacers?

    I think (almost) all of us will have Marshall and Ambrose as our top two and most with Garner as 3rd. How would you guys rate the others (Roberts, Holding, Walsh), or indeed all 6 if your thoughts differ?

    Zaheer Abbas vs Glenn Turner

    Who is the third best non-English batsman to score 100 FC tons? (feel free to base it on Tests only, or overall FC)

    Gary Kirsten vs Herschelle Gibbs

    Who is SA’s second best post-admission opener? Opening stats: Kirsten 84 matches 5726 @ 41.79 14 tons Gibbs 68 matches 5242 @ 47.22 14 tons Put in Elgar in case he gets some sympathy votes.

    Waqar vs Bumrah

    Since people keep bringing it up, thought this might be warranted.

    How much longer would Khawaja have to play?

    How much longer would Khawaja need to play at this or a similarly high quality level for him to be considered amongst other quality openers?

    Cook vs Warner

    Surprised this one hadn’t been made already. Two best openers since Hayden/Sehwag/Smith (until recent times with Usman and Rohit coming to the fore).

    6th Greatest Test fast bowler

    Alright so posting this because its been discussed in other threads… in the last two overall bowling ranking threads, the top 5 fast bowlers remained the same. The order of 6-9 varied amongst Trueman, Lillee, Imran and Wasim, whilst 10th was Donald in both. Donald’s rep seems to have gone up...

    The “Fab” 3

    Since Smith ended up being the only successful member of the Fab Four and this topic came up in another thread how do you rate the rest of the guys?

    Test Batting Strike Rates

    Since there's been a lot of SR discussion across threads, I thought I'd post a list of great batsmen and their Strike Rates just for comparison - and have included some other notable players too. Feel free to read into it what you will. 80+ Gilbert Jessop - 112 Harry Brook - 91.76 Shahid...

    Chris Martin vs Khaled Ahmed

    I know its still early but what do you think?

    What grounds would you choose for an ATG XI series?

    Assuming 5 tests, which 5 grounds around the world would you choose for a series between two ATG XI’s?

    Weekes vs Walcott

    Who do you think was the better bat?

    Imran vs Botham vs Kapil (batting)

    Title says it all.

    Yousuf Youhana vs Mohammad Yousuf

    One averages 47, one averages 60. One played 59 matches, one played 31 matches. One scored 5 SENAW tons (Aus, NZ, 2xWI - against Ambrose/Walsh no less, ZIM), one scored 3 (3x ENG). Who was better?

    Trumper vs Hill

    Australia’s two great pre-WW1 batsmen. General opinion would greatly favour Trumper, though I believe he is a bit mythologized. Of course we all know of his famous feats. The 2570 runs in England in 1902, one of the wettest summers ever. The hundred before lunch at Old Trafford. The famous...
