    Great bowling and batting partnerships

    In the thread with top order percentage stats for players I was interested in seeing Jim Laker's stats skew so heavily towards middle and top order players, especially considering he wouldn't have obviously bowled with the new ball. This made me look up his stats when bowling with various other...

    Heaven XI vs Earth XI

    This was halfway suggested by BoyBrumby in the Ashes subforum. Who would win if you had a match between a Heaven XI (all-time team of players who are sadly departed) against an Earth XI (all-time team of players still alive). My go at picking the sides: Heaven XI Hobbs Hutton Bradman* Hammond...

    ICC 09 - West Indies

    I like playing the West Indies and trying to return them to their former glory. Something about the mystique of calypso cricket I guess keeps me coming back for a new game just about every version of ICC. I think the longest I have gone was deep into the 2020s with ICC 06 playing with almost...

    ECB scrap plans for new Twenty20 competition

    BBC SPORT | Cricket | Counties | ECB scraps plans for second T20 Have to say I'm pleased. Having two T20 competitions in the summer was a thoroughly stupid idea in the first place. Hopefully they will now open up the current T20 Cup to more overseas players (say 4 per team) so that I maybe...

    Who is the most 'undroppable' player in the world?

    I.E. which player would need the longest stretch of poor form (say consecutive matches with a high score of 30 for a batsman, or consecutive tests taking no more than 2 or 3 wickets for a bowler, or for a keeper a stretch of making few runs and consistently missing chances) before they would be...

    Who will overtake Murali's test wicket record?

    Murali is so far out in front of anyone else who has a chance that I think there is a good possibility he could hold the record for a very, very long time. I'm not even sure that anyone who is currently playing will overtake him, though of course Mendis has a good chance. Certainly you'd have to...

    A solution to the brewing Twenty20 mess

    All these competing T20 leagues and problems when they clash with international matches can be solved in one easy go. We just need to have a global Twenty20 league that plays at certain stages throughout the season in different countries. 1. Have 10-12 franchises who all have an auction IPL...

    Lords may no longer be guaranteed test match cricket

    This story was leaked/announced (can never tell the difference these days) today and I was slightly surprised that a thread hadn't been started up on it yet. http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/381816.html I personally think that Lords should no longer have two tests...

    Cricket team draft

    An interesting exercise and something fun to do. 12 (depending on interest) people take it in turns to select eleven cricketers from history to make an all star team. At the conclusion of the draft we will have a poll on the forum to declare the victor and also someone could organise a...

    Will Kallis make a Test double century before he retires?

    Jacques Kallis is the holder of most Test match centuries without a double. He has made 30 hundreds to date with a top score of 189* against Zimbabwe, or if you're Richard, his top score is 186 against New Zealand (though he was dropped on 102 in that innings, so I'm not sure if..... oh for...

    Has there ever been a player as poor as Mohammad Sami play so many tests?

    Haven't been following the India v Pakistan series much beyond checking the score at the end of every day and just noticed that Pakistan have picked Mohammad Sami yet again. And surprise surprise, in the first innings he bowled 29 overs without taking a wicket. He has no control, doesn't get...

    Which did you enjoy more: World Cup or Twenty20 Championship?

    Simple question. I am lukewarm on Twenty20 internationally (I oddly find watching the format between county teams much more enjoyable than between international teams, but that's for another thread) but have to say I actually found the recent tournament more enjoyable than the 50 over World Cup...
