    *Official* WTC 2025-27

    So the new cycle kicks off tomorrow. I came across this little Predictor Tool that even allows you to enter Over Rate Penalties for the fairly inevitable likelihood of English discrepancies (unless Stokes has a change of strategy). World Test Championship Predictor A quick run through...

    *Official* Women's Ashes 2025

    It's almost gone unnoticed that this is starting in less than 48 hours. Australia must start as massive favourites, but are they as strong as they used to be? In batting, almost certainly, but not sure they have such a strong pace attack these days. England have fitness issues over Cross who...

    America's Cup 2024

    Formula 1 on water is back and the preliminary races start today. NZ automatically qualify for the Final as the holders and got to choose what style of boat would be raced (it really is a screwy system). GB (Ineos/Ainslie), USA, France, Italy and those well renowned Sailors from Switzerland...

    Lowlights of the Games

    Certain sports didn't go as well as others. Boxing managed to create it's own gender identity argument which overshadowed the Games. And that was before you even got into the highly questionable judging. Sailing struggled with wind conditions, but the different set ups for how medals are...

    Olympics Athletics

    The big kahuna starts properly today, and ought to have its own thread really. Two of GB's best medal hopes in heats today (Kerr 1500m and Hodgkinson 800m - who looks a cert really in the absence of Mu). First day of Decathlon today too plus Men's 10km tonight.

    Happy 1st Ball Changeversary

    How will you be celebrating this day? Maybe you'll have a little moan, or a whinge, or perhaps a full scale investigation into corruption within the International Umpire community? But please my Australian friends, don't take your dogs for a walk, you're really not very good at holding on to...

    Wimbledon 2024

    May as well crank up a new thread for this. The Men's title likely to be decided by the Alcaraz/Sinner semi final. Could easily be a random coming through from the bottom half if Djokovic isn't fully fit. The Women's looks very open with question marks over many of the top players. Can see...

    Match #6- England vs Scotland - June 4th - Kensington Oval, Barbados-- Group B

    Bizarre stat, England yet to beat a European nation at a T20 World Cup in 4 attempts. Although, after two of those they went on to lift the trophy. Looks like Jordan is now above Curran in the pecking order and Topley likely to play ahead of Wood. You'd think they'd have far too much firepower...

    *Official* India v England 2nd Test Visakhapatnam Match Thread

    With over 3k posts already on the Tour Thread, it seemed logical to start a separate one for each Test. Please could a Mod sticky..... Got to be honest, this is a venue I've not really come across before, but I read that Dinesh Karthik suggested we could expect more turn here than the First...

    SA20 2024

    This thing starts today. A quick look at the squads and it looks like it's a slightly better quality of English players than in the BBL (Buttler, Malan, Dawson, Curran, Moeen, Topley, Roy, Rashid, Jacks, Livingstone etc) plus a few W Indians not in Australia (and of course Jimmy Neesham).

    What does your Test Team look like without T20 Players?

    With regards to SA selecting a Test Squad for NZ without all those signed up to the T20 franchise, I was wondering how other teams would cope in similar circumstances. England's bowling would largely be ok with Anderson, Robinson and Leach all available, but the batting is decimated. A return...

    BBC SPOTY 2023

    Sports Personality of the Year 2023 shortlist: Broad, Dettori, Earps, Hewett, Johnson-Thompson & McIlroy - BBC Sport What a weird shortlist. I'm not even sure Dettori properly qualifies. KJT or Earps for me.

    Rob Andrew

    Good news, England have appointed Rob Andrew as the new MD of Professional Cricket. When I say good news, I mean for Sussex fans for whom he's been an unmitigating disaster. How on earth has he got this job?

    Top 10 Teams in World Cup History

    Interesting article on the BBC, basically it's the 9 winners plus NZ in '95. Rugby World Cup 2023: Rank the top 10 teams in World Cup history - BBC Sport You could debate this for hours, but think my Top 3 would probably be: 1. NZ 2015 (A level of rugby I don't think any team has surpassed)...

    ***Official***Match #19 - Netherlands vs Sri Lanka - October 21st - Lucknow (Day)

    The two teams who came through the qualifiers and theoretically the weakest in the group. Can Sri Lanka pick up their first win? Probably only if they bowl a lot better than they have so far.

    ***Official***Match #20- England vs S Africa - October 21st - Wankhede (D/N)

    A match neither team can afford to lose, especially England. But who knows which of these teams will turn up? The first game in Mumbai so far no not sure how the pitch will play. Frankly, this looks a complete 50/50.

    Semi Finals

    New Zealand v Argentina on Friday. England v S Africa on Saturday. Can anyone see any chance of an upset in either game? Probably more chance in the first for me as Argentina have found a way to beat NZ a couple of times recently, but still looks pretty hopeless. If England keep SA to 20...

    *Official* Match #11 (D/N) - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - October 13th, Chennai

    Time to get this one up and running. Ought to be a straightforward win for the current table toppers, however if there was a pitch which would even things up a little, it's probably this one. Williamson returns, but who makes way? Chapman or Phillips seem to be the likely suggestions with...

    *Official* Match #10 — Australia Vs South Africa Oct 12th, Lucknow

    Can the Aussies afford to lose their first 2 matches? Certainly a tough start to the tournament. Sounds like the only selection question is Green or Stoinis (can't believe Carey is still getting picked). For SA it's whether they go the extra spinner for Coetzee. Highest score at this ground in...
