    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

    I tried to get some pictures with better comparison. No doubt Warner's bat is thicker in the centre but the difference is not that huge. I think he would have been OK with using Tendulkar's bat

    Paranoia about umpires reaches new low

    There is apparently a match between Vatican XI and Archbishop of Canterbury XI. The Vatican has a problem with the umpire because He was a bishop 200 years ago and they are still worried about bias. :laugh: Cricket Expert Told He Can't Umpire Game Between Church Teams Because His Ancestor...

I am probably missing someone obvious but has there been anyone successfully combine the two. Is it...

    The true all-rounder

    A true all-rounder is a player who is in the top 6 batsman and the top 4 bowlers for his country. Just wondering how many cricketers people would consider to be in this category for a extended period, say at least 5 years. I am not sure that I can confidently say that anyone from the major...

    Stop talking to players during innings

    One of the things I really hate about T20 is talking to players in the middle of an innings. It has got to the point that I have to change channels until they stop it. It is usually exceptionally dull (if not outright embarassing) and usually just takes away from any possible enjoyment of the...
