    Nathan Lyon

    So where does this gollum looking ****er rank all time? Top 5 offspinner for sure - ATG as an offie? Murali a billion miles ahead, Harbajan, Ashwin & Swann possibly better but don't feel massively confident in saying that. He is 21st all time in wickets now, will go past Imran Khan & Danny V...

    Kane Williamson vs Joe Root 2, the ODI boogaloo

    I know there are a few of these threads floating about so lock it if it isn't different enough however what are the esteemed judges thoughts on KW vs JR purely in ODIs? Can also include T20 if you want. Root: 101 innings 4451 runs 133* HS 51.16 average 86.89 SR 11 tons 27 fifties Williamson...

    The Ramprakash Conundrum

    What do you do with a player who fails at Test level but continually smashes your domestic game? Are they given repeated chances? Is it fair to ignore them because they fail once (or more) if they continually dominate? Obviously England have had many notable examples, I am not sure of other...

    Cricket Monthly: New Stats

    Probably of interest to quite a few on this site: The best stats measure | The Cricket Monthly | ESPN Cricinfo I like Zaltzman's stat quite a bit, although obviously the application is tongue in cheek the point is interesting.

    What does this site underrate/overrate?

    Keep it off individuals opinions please, but what is the received wisdom on cricketweb that you don't buy. For me: Underrates: Big runs on flat pitches Overrates: Wicket keeping when rating wicketkeeper/batsmen. It isn't as important as made out by some of the purists.

    Mitchell Marsh vs Ben Stokes thread

    Taking over the tour thread so thought I'd start it here. I am on the fence who is the better bowler, really depends on more what your team needs. Think Stokes is comfortably the better and more destructive batsmen though. Marsh clearly a great timer of the ball but looked absolutely hopeless...

    Horses for courses: Batsmen

    It is a pretty accepted thing for teams to chop and change bowlers depending on conditions, for example if you go to India teams will pick at least one more spinner and sometimes two. However batsmen seem to be expected to be the same regardless of conditions. Why don't teams have specialist...

    Under 19 ODI @ Derby

    Good start from Mahmood and Bernad. Wicket a piece and Australia 25/2 after 11. Doran looks promising player.

    English County ATG Teams

    Sorry if this post has been done recently but couldn't find it. I will have a bash at Warwickshire's. I don't just mean on names but on their actual performances for the county. Also make it post WW2 because it's so hard to judge blokes who bowled 70 mph and took 1200 wickets. Nick Knight...

    Would you pick Stuart Broad as a bowler alone?

    Say he is ok to bowl going into the 5th test but for whatever reason (the mask doesn't fit/obscures his view) he can't bat. Do you pick him as a bowler alone and go with 10 batsmen when you consider the makeup of the England side and lack of other wicket takers?

    Bresnan out for season with stress fracture of lower back

    Just heard it announced on Sky commentary. Wow, I am gutted for him. Bad loss for England, good lower order bat and solid bowler. Who comes in? Onions would be my choice but he is out with a broken hand. Tremlett and Jimmy stays then. https://twitter.com/ESPNcricinfo/statuses/368079783562731520

    Your nations Under 23 team

    Thought it would be nice to see who the youngsters of the future for each nation are. No idea why i picked Under 23. Just a random age: My England test XI (age) Alex Hales (22) Johnny Bairstow (21) James Taylor (21) Ross Whiteley (22) Luke Wells (20) Ben Stokes (20) Gary Ballance (22) Scott...
