    Why do people still believe MSM?

    Hasn't history told you that MSM is full of lies and has its own agenda? How can people be so stupid as to believe everything that MSM spouts? Any right minded person would know MSM stories don't stack.

    My 2016 Test XI

    1) Warner 2) Azhar Ali 3) Root 4) Kohli 5) Smith 6) Bairstow 7) Ashwin 8) Starc 9) Herath/Broad 10) Wagner 11) Rabada Between Bairstow, Starc and Ashwin the all rounder position is covered adequately. Kohli pushes Smith to number 5. Depending on conditions I'd go for Broad or Herath at 9.

    George Michael passed away :-(

    So sad. It's been a year for musicians passing away. Bowie, Prince and now George Michael. I am sure there were others. RIP.

    Boult and Southee - lack of swing

    What's happened to these guys? Is it because of their injuries? Have the balls changed? A couple of years ago both Southee and Boult would swing the ball prodigiously. They don't do this any more. Not even in NZ conditions. Watch these highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJW0OgK7obQ...

    Cricket ground size comparison?

    I watched what looked like a top edge hook shot from Santner go for 6. When the stats on the distance showed up I was surprised to see the ball had traveled 76m. That would be 6 on just about any ground. I tried googling for a cricket ground comparison charter where one ground's dimensions...

    Position of snicko mics

    Does anyone know where the snicko mics are placed? Are they placed close to the stumps or at various positions along the pitch? I ask because I feel nicks don't register as much when a player is playing a shot further down the pitch e.g. a sweep shot. Perhaps this is why Lyon's nick didn't...

    Most runs in all forms of the game for a calendar year?

    If my maths is correct Williamson currently has 2930 runs in all forms of the game (tests, odi and t20). Is this the most in a calendar year?

    Loss art of reverse swing

    With the roads being prepared for ODIs bowlers can no longer expect assistance from the pitch. So if you're failing to get anything from the wicket your only option is to do something in the air. Whatever happened to the booming inswinging yorkers of the 90s and early 2000s? Seems like everyone...

    Official Test Match balls

    Just wandering what the different brands of official test match balls are. I know of the Kookaburra and Duke balls but not sure if there are other brands that are used. Would be great if someone could come up with a summary of the different official balls and also a discussion on how they...
