    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Courtney Walsh

    In wickets per match stats in tests, Ashwin is all time second greatest. Each test he plucks 5.2 wickets - thats like Walsh's undoing in this comparison. Ashwin is phenomenal. Bradmanishque figures for a bowler's equivalant. Or Murali level magic.

    Fitness and training equipments that were state of the art.

    Is Jonty Rhodes the best fielder International Cricket has seen ?

    Azhar was good in catches and hitting the stumps. Not so swift in aerodynamically intercepting balls and sprinting up like Gibbs or Rhodes. But thats also good grade fielding display. Mark Waugh was a great fielder too. Ajay Jadeja and Ponting were swift too. There was this Noel David and also...

    ***Official*** IPL 2024

    He looks like jaded, does not have intent to score quickly and the rest are bogged down too as a result of the overhyped titan, the stellar VK pacing his innings like a tortoise, probably contemplating a retirement lack of motivation prevailing on the grand old man.

    ***Official*** IPL 2024

    Kohli playing for records is a perenneal curse for the RCB. He is a match loser.

    Is Jonty Rhodes the best fielder International Cricket has seen ?

    Rhodes was ahead of his time. But modern players show agility like him very often and so its like Bobby Fischer's legacy as a child prodigy against musrooming of youngsters like Pragg, Gukesh, Erigaisi, Firoujza etc...

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Courtney Walsh

    Walsh had this open chested action with the ball looking like a lemon in his hand, a big fella. Steve Waugh looked like a David vs Goliath when he faced Walsh. Walsh would bowl ball after ball in the same spot that bothered a batsmen. At one time in mid careee statistically Srinath and he had...

    Cuortneyeee Waltsch was not even that threatening compared to Ambrose and Ambrose is 25% Ashwin's match winning self. So big margin win for Ashwin.

    Is Batsman out if ball hits on falling stump?

    From what u describe, it looks like out. If tbe bails are off the stump has to be uprooted or completely removed from the ground and this instance looks like that eventually after the ball lands in the stump. https://www.lords.org/mcc/the-laws-of-cricket/the-wicket-is-down

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    How much more quicker will trouble batsmen? Even if he bowls 135 kmph, still batsmen are not going to be troubled however Venkatesh Prasad had his men with leg cutters at 125 kmph. Sean Tait was tearaway but gave it in a slot. Line and length matters. Do you know Zaheer Khan's 130s kmph with...

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    If sheer pace would guarentee a series win at Australia, then a 120 kmph Natarajan and 125 kmph Shardul Thakkur wouldnt have had any impact there. Media hype.

    World Test Championship 2023-25 Points Table

    England already had two such chances. Either England and Wales cricket board owns the world of cricket or other boards do not have a spinal chord. It is arguable. For instance, my 74 year old Father in law who stays with us is following cricket since 1960s and still reckons BCCI is subservient...

    The Records and Milestones thread

    It comes after century in each innings by a no.7 or later batsman for the first time in Test cricket. Snakes in the grass series! (Pun intended due to naga dance repertoire)

    World Test Championship 2023-25 Points Table

    Just wishing BCCI schedules more test matches. Logically it mskes sense as 1) India is doing better in red ball than white ball events 2) Test needs audience turnover which our supporters can help 3) corporates and TV chanels can support here more than in most other cricket playing nations 4) We...

    World Test Championship 2023-25 Points Table

    According to my wish let the rest of the world teams opt to play more odis and t20Is and just a few tests. Whereas India must play atleast 15 tests a year or else they should stop playing cricket.

    World Test Championship 2023-25 Points Table

    Now who spoke like a sore loser here after you call me names, kid? It is not the salary but their lack of motivation in key uncheered areas that makes a huge difference these days. Did you read my post properly? I have pointed out their fundamental problems in a short crisp way, and I swear, I...

    World Test Championship 2023-25 Points Table

    Pakistan thinks bowling fast makes them win matches. They field like old hags and run like turtles, pray the night before instead of practicing. Boring one sided it will become.
