    Kusal Mendis arrested after being involved in fatal road accident

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29412282/kusal-mendis-arrested-being-involved-fatal-road-accident This seriously blows. Terrible to hear.

    Do you have access to Subscription TV?

    Made a similar thread many years ago, but over the last ten years the nature of subscription television has changed significantly from traditional cable/satellite towards SVOD. Obviously the former still exists, but I know of plenty of people that have ditched the former for the latter. Option...

    What are you eating right now?

    Corned beef with potatoes, cabbage, carrots and white sauce. Delicious. Will also make awesome lunches/rubens/bubble + squeak.

    Your Favourite Restaurant/Takeaway Joint

    Inspired by people's default McDonald's/pizza order, but would be keen to know what people love out of all restaurant options. Does not need to be anything well-known, it's all your choice. My favourite in Sydney would have to be a burger joint known as Bar Luca. Their Blame Canada (which is...

    *Official* Sri Lanka in Pakistan 2019 (Tests)

    Surprised at no tour thread given the series starts in three days and the squads have been announced. Given it's Pakistan's first Test series in Pakistan in 10 years too, it's also quite significant. Test dates: 11/12 1st Test, at Rawalpindi PAK SL 19/12 2nd test, at Karachi PAK SL...

    Player ratings thread

    Standard Test tour subbie thread. Obviously add your own. Burns 8 - lucky ton? Perhaps. But a ton is still a ton, and it put England in a position that should've been quite strong. Roy 2 - not up to scratch. That shot in the second innings has to be amongst the worst of all time given the match...

    The Political Compass Test

    You are a left social libertarian. Left: 6.4, Libertarian: 6.1 Foreign Policy: On the left side are pacifists and anti-war activists. On the right side are those who want a strong military that intervenes around the world. You scored: -6.35 Culture: Where are you in the culture war? On the...

    Worst Player to Play 50 Tests?

    Probably a better question than the 100 Test one as everyone who hit 100 Tests was at least Test-class for most of their careers. Ashraful probably the standout. Discounting Bangladesh, maybe Ramprakash or Giles?

    Team of the Year 2017

    Strictly not the end of 2017, but given the only Tests left are the 4-dayer (which shouldn't really count) and a dead rubber, now's a fair time to start I feel. 1. Elgar 2. Rahul 3. Pujara 4. Smith 5. Williamson 6. Shakib 7. de Kock 8. Philander 9. Rabada 10. Lyon 11. Anderson Lot of toss-ups...

    Player Ratings thread

    As is customary for every series that is big enough to demand a subforum. Cook 1 - dear god. Probably couldn't do a lot about his first innings dismissal tbf, but that was not a shot that should've been played that early in the second innings. Very poor work. Stoneman 7 - can feel proud of the...

    Have batting standards massively declined in recent years?

    Watching cricket recently, I have noticed one thing - if pitches even have a little bit of juice in them then the games are generally quite low-scoring. Now I didn't watch that game, but I have had the misfortune of having to read a 30 page debate on the pitch condition of the India/South...

    Playing Selector: Final Spot for the Team of the 1990's

    Qualification: Varies. 1000 runs + 50 wickets for all-rounders. Anyone who got a vote on the batting polls qualifies, and I have a few select names out of those that scored between 2000-3000 runs in the 90's.
