  Test Playing Countries and Population

Should population matter in ICC voting rights?

As any average city in India has more population than WI or NZ.
Australia population barely equals to Mumbai city (Mumbai + Thane)
population.

India represents 70.2%% of Total cricket playing country population.

Country Population Percentage
(In Million)
India 1132 70.2
Aus 21 1.3
Eng 51 3.2
WI 4 0.2
SA 47 2.9
Pak 169 10.5
Bang 150 9.3
Sri 21 1.3
Zim 13 0.8

The pairings are currently a best guess, the low end of SL's batting
order in particular being unknown; with so many people on the players
currently at 10 and 11, the scores are at best tentative at this
stage, and merely serve to record that I've accepted the entries.

Player scores:

Vandort (3) 3 Gambhir (0)
Warnapura (50) 50 Sehwag (0)
Sangakkara (12) 2 Dravid (10)
Mahela (16) 16 Tendulkar (0)
Samaraweera (0) 12 Ganguly (-12)
Dilshan (0) 0 Laxman (0)
Karthik (10) 10 Prasanna (0)
Vaas (0) 0 Kumble (0)
Kulasekara (0) 7 Harbhajan (-7)
Zaheer (8) 8 Murali (0)
Ishant (33) 33 Mendis (0)

  The Smallest Innings Defeat and Just Avoiding It         


Author: arahim
Date: Jul 23, 2008 04:04

The following is an instant of winning by an innings and a run.
http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1950S/1957-58/PAK_IN_WI/PAK_WI_T5_26-31MAR1958...

How many other instances of this are there? Of those are there any in
which all thrity wickets fell.

Are there instances of avoiding the innings defeat by the smallest
margin? (ie team batting last needing 1 run to win).

  World XI by age group: Over 30         


Author: rterhart
Date: Jul 23, 2008 01:46

Over 30 is anyone born before 1 July 1978. And they have to still play
international cricket, so no McGrath, Warne, Lara etc.

My XI:

Matthew Hayden
Michael Hussey
*Ricky Ponting
Sachin Tendulkar
Mahela Jayawardene
Jaques Kallis
+Mark Boucher
Anil Kumble
Brett Lee
Stuart Clark
Muralitharan

The batting is impossibly strong: I had to leave out Vaughan, Dravid,
Mohd. Yousuf, Younis Khan, Laxman and others, and had to put some
players out of position, most notably Kallis and Hussey.

  Intellectuals Are Ruining Cricket (and West Indies)         


Author: Kavish3352

Yes, intellectuals are screwing Cricket and are ruining it. The game
evolves in a way that involves the common man and moves forward and
becomes more enjoyable by inventing new forms of game. When Test
Cricket had become too horrible to watch One Day International was
invented by Kerry Packer who was a businessman and not an intellectual
(Businessmen, Players, Actors etc. are "doers" and Journalists,
writers, professors etc. are intellectuals). For a long time the
intellectuals in the establishment controlled the boards in their
country (Chidambaram and Wankade should be given death punishment) and
tried to kill Kerry Packer. But ODIs survived and became the best form
of Cricket. A form of game invented in Australia by Kerry Packer a
businessman, became superior to a game invented in Oxford...
