    All Time Chasing Team?

    Watching Smiffy muscling the ball around yesterday against the hapless Lankans made me think of more pleasurable things (pertaining to cricket, to preempt any would be wags and cards on here with too much time on their paws)...for example the best 4th innings chasing batsmen, among whom Smiffy...

    New Golden Era for Fast Bowling?

    With Steyn already close to all time great status, and a new crop of excellent quick bowlers around, particularly in England, Australia and South Africa (with honourable mentions to the West Indies and Pakistan -- Oh, Aamer and Asif!), one could argue that a new golden age of fast bowling is...

    Pitch Bitch.

    Apropos of some cricket pitches (or was it only the batting?) in the recent past, the mind trots on to the bad pitches that one has seen.... Topping the list would be a couple in the windies where tests were abandoned in the last decade and half. But what about others that have been roundly...

    New cricketing terms

    The Siddle noball, as a couple of wags - one not exactly known for setting the benchmark in such matters, if truth be told - on the Australia-South Africa series thread, mentioned, was a Mazhar. Or maybe an Amir. What about some new terms based on those who best epitomise certain cricketing...

    Class, Categories and Other General Questions

    1) A conversation between Ikki and myself a couple of weeks ago had us arguing about the concept of class in the sense that a particular player is in a different class (league, category, playing field, levels...you name it) from another in terms of quality. In that instance it was about Gavaskar...

    Ponting vs Kallis

    Am sure this has been done - to death - before, but so what... Just 4 more days till the two greats face off for the last time. For those in the mood for some flagellation haha, some overblown, flowery prose from Roebuck. Colossus and cavalier will fight to the end Mods, could we have a...

    The best at their peak?

    Those batsmen and bowlers you thought were simply unstoppable when at their very best. Lara Richards Sehwag Tendulkar Ponting Hayden in that order would make my list of such batsmen in tests. And the following bowlers: Waqar Marshall Ambrose Akhtar Lillee Murali

    Best fielding team?

    Best ever fielding team? Which is the best overall fielding team that you have ever seen? For the nappy wearers around here, the one that you have read about? Also, to make it a little more 'interesting', which team do you fee has had the greatest complement of outstanding fielders, without...

    Sangakkara!

    100 tests. Ta for the memories....so far. May there be many more. Being a bit greedy but really looking forward to a 100 in this test. Anyway, time for a quasi retrospective. What are your best memories of the man? Where does he stand in the pantheon of great subcontinental batsmen? What...
