    [Not so] Huge statistical analysis on greatest ODI batsman and bowlers ranked

    Here are the refreshed results. Some differences from the original analysis: I used only matches between 15 teams for both player stats in consideration and for calculating benchmark stats. The 15 teams are: 12 test playing nations plus Asia XI, Africa XI and ICC world XI. I limited exercise...

    ODI Debut Chronology draft

    So after Stephen's wildly successful new format in alphabetical and reverse alphabetical drafts, I thought we can try another variation of it. In this draft you will pick 11 players to form an ODI team. You will pick players strictly in the order of their debut dates i.e. each player you pick...

    *Official* Sri Lanka in India 2019/20

    I know it's India vs. Sri Lanka. I know it's limited overs only. But deserves a thread still. Looking forward to Bumrah playing again.

    Who is Pakistan's greatest test batsman?

    Please vote. It's probably between Younis Khan and Javed Miandad, but added 2 other worthy contenders to the poll.

    Definitive proof that not outs don't inflate batting averages

    So I went all geeky and performed simulation to prove this. Here's the spreadsheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N8ZtJBijVofRhdX1JnqDiyfvpzy5Xy7z/view I assumed a hypothetical batsman B who would average 53.6 if allowed to bat endless so that that is his true average. Simulated 1000...

    Official Jasprit Bumrah fanboying thread

    We need one. I can't get over the spell he bowled against West Indies. It was Waqar Younis of early 90s level of lethal. Never thought an Indian fast bowler could bowl with such skill and fury. All bow down to Boom Boom Bumrah :notworthy

    Are multi-format greats a thing of past?

    Among the currently active players, you will probably only describe Kohli as a great in both tests and limited overs. Going back to 90s and mid-2000s, you would describe a lot of them as greats in both formats -- Tendulkar, Murali, McGrath, Warne, Akram, Pollock, Ambrose, Ponting, Donald, Lara...

    Should South Africa apologize too

    Should South Africa apologize too? Another thread on this topic can't hurt, can it? We have seen tearful apologies and heavy punishments for the Australians involved in sandpaper-gate. They are broken to the point that their families are struggling. Their reputations are in tatters. Guess they...

    Feminism thread

    Partially inspired by Dan's posts that refer to ecofeminist anarchosocialism (fmd I got auto complete suggestion as I was typing ecofeminist!). I think the topic of feminism deserves a thread. It's all over the place, can't be ignored. Even though this is a make dominated forum, we can expect...
