    Steve Smith: Most Runs in a Series (Post Bradman)?

    The most runs in a Test series is 974 by Don Bradman in the 1930 Ashes. Steve Smith currently has 671 and needs 304 runs in the final Test to break this record. Not likely. The most runs in a Test series since the retirement of Don Bradman is 839 by Mark Taylor in the 1989 Ashes. Smith needs...

    Decade of Death Draft

    The idea of this draft suggestion is to select a team of 11 deceased cricketers, every one of which passed away in a different decade. An example of an eligible team, should you be so lucky, would be; 01. Jack Hobbs (1963) - 1960s 02. Victor Trumper (1915) - 1910s 03. George Headley (1983) -...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    If we go back through the history of Pakistan cricket, we see they have a great tradition of consistently producing world class pace bowlers. From Fazal Mahmood and Khan Mohammad in their very early years, to Imran in the 70s and 80s, to Wasim and Waqar in the 90s, and finally the likes of...

    Who is the best post war English opening batsman?

    Who is the best post war English opening batsman? I have only included those who debuted post war so Hutton is not eligible. For me it is a straight shoot out between Boycott and Cook.

    Who is the greatest Pakistani spinner?

    Who in your view is the greatest Pakistani spinner of all time? I get the impression that Abdul Qadir is generally considered the greatest but while he probably had the greatest reportoire of deliveries and was undoubtedly a real force in Pakistan his away record compares unfavourably with all...

    Who is the world's best Test bowler ever?

    I thought this fine article would be of interest to many of our members. In my opinion Barnes and Marshall should be placed a little higher with Grimmett and Warne a little lower, but irrespective of personal opinions this is indeed a fine effort at addressing once and for all a much debated issue.
