    An Australian XI That Never played Tests

    Sadly we'll never know the truth as it was so long ago, but the fact that every prominent Aboriginal FC cricketer pre-1939 was branded a "chucker" & barred from the game is pretty alarming. Not only were they kept out of the Australian team, but they had their careers & reputations destroyed by...

    An Australian XI That Never played Tests

    Not all that incriminating imo. Just take a look at Brett Lee's action. In this picture Lee's arm is bent similarly to Gilbert's at shoulder height, arguably even closer to the point of release than Gilbert.

    I have a strike rate of 0.362 (3,010 likes from 8,295 posts). What's yours? Interesting to see what the leaderboard would look like.

    ICC Emerging Nations Trophy (Sim League X)

    Continuing on from the most recent version of the Sim League I am back with the ultimate battle of the proverbial minnows. For the most part I have been simming LOIs lately, this tournament will mark a return to red ball cricket. To get things rolling here I am hoping to get somewhere in the...

    Can you judge these batsmen by their stance and shots?

    I think Jedi was right re: #10. Looks like Wasim to me.

    ICC Sim League IX

    Had fun running the last version of the Sim League, so I'm back again to kick off another new tournament with a fresh new idea. This time the concept revolves around World Series Cricket from the late 70's. Instead of a nation v nation tournament, this one will be similar to the modern-day IPL...

    Grand Slam Draft Tournament

    Ok, so hear me out. This one's a bit of a hair-brained scheme, but it could potentially be a fun draft-style "tournament" which operates in a unique way. Essentially the premise of the draft is to resemble a real-life knockout tournament. Where 8, or even 16, drafters compete against one another...

    As we come to the end of the decade thought it would be a good opportunity look back at the best (and worst) kits over the last 10 years. What are your favourite kits, international or otherwise, from this decade?

    ICC Sim League VIII

    ICC Sim League VIII I've had a few ninjas over the past couple of months voice their desire to see another edition of the Sim League so I'd dust off the old bird & run another edition with an idea that that is floating around in my head. This time I'll be doing something new & running a T20...

    Amol Muzumdar vs Jamie Siddons

    Bit of a nonsense thread here. Was wondering how people see these two stacking up against one another considering they were arguably the best two batsmen of their generation to never play in a Test match for their respective country. vs

    Mohammad Shahzad suspended by ACB for one year

    Not a very good piece of news to wake up to. Are the ACB being a bit heavy handed here? Mohammad Shahzad suspended for a year

    1992 World Cup draft

    Anyone keen on another World Cup themed draft? Same rules as the 2019 version I ran a few weeks ago. 9 drafters max.
