    Elegant batsmen

    I'll take Dravid and Gavaskar's dourness any day batting long hours to win (in Dravid's case) and save (in Gavaskar's case) many a test match for India.

    Elegant bowlers

    Quicks: Holding, Hadlee, Imran, Waqar, Kapil, Lillee, John Lever, ZK. I used to find Chris Martin’s bowling funny. Sort of like a neighborhood kid who enters a coconut grove and lopes away with the neighbors coconut. Finger spinners: Bedi was pure, beautiful languid approach to the crease, high...

    Elegant batsmen

    Languid is exactly right to describe VVS.

    Hilarious!

    Elegant batsmen

    I purposefully left Dravid out and Dravid IMO was easier on the eye than Sachin. From that generation of Indians, VVS wins the elegance medal without a doubt.

    Elegant batsmen

    Agree; Viv had an arrogant elegance.

    Elegant batsmen

    Is there a thread on batsmen who are easiest on the eyes? This is a highly subjective thing, but my faves are nearly all from the subcontinent. In descending order (ones I have watched): Azharuddin Laxman Zaheer Abbas Jayawardana Sangakkara G R Vishwanath Lara Gower Who are yours?

    Do you agree with the final result?

    No. The knockout is a clean break with the group stage.

    Do you agree with the final result?

    Team with the most wickets at hand at the end of the game makes more sense.

    Do you agree with the final result?

    Then you're not really distinguishing between the league stage and the knockout stage. You're calling it a knockout but it really isn't because you're considering points from the league stage.

    Do you agree with the final result?

    Why not whoever has more wickets in hand?

    Do you agree with the final result?

    This was the lamest ending to a WC. I can't believe they couldn't come up with a better way to resolve ties in the premier cricket tournament.

    Is there a what happened to Karun Nair thread?

    Is there such a thread? If not let’s use this. What did happen to him?

    40th Match - Bangladesh v India

    India better get their act together. I don't know if any calculations about other teams making it were involved in the strategy. I wanted them to just stomp on every team and everyone they encounter and win everything or perish trying. Calculations be damned. Not this tame limping to a loss...

    40th Match - Bangladesh v India

    Indian fan here.... The way India went about their run chase yesterday, I may have to start supporting Bangladesh too. Was completely put off by the lack of passion and purpose yesterday.

    26th Match - Australia v Bangladesh

    Bangladesh will be disappointed by they certainly weren't rolled over. They've improved steadily. Good knock by Mush.

    Will Pakistan win their first ever WC match against India?

    Seen on Twitter from a Pak fan: "Don't call me a traitor, but look at the Indian players, they look like proper athletes, our players look like they've eaten two plates of waris nihari with feeqay ki lassi and benazir kulfa, all at once."

    Yuvraj retires

    This guy was given way too long a rope in test cricket for no good reason. Indian selection and team management has always baffled me. They've made a mess of Karun Nair's career. Poor guy, he has no idea why he is being treated so poorly after the triple hundred against England in Chennai. His...
