    The Quota System

    This is probably the most balanced article of the idea of transformations I've ever read, even though inherently the idea forever bothers me. "Transformation, despite what many seem to fear, is not about taking sport X or Y “away from white people” and it’s certainly not crying over the loss...

    ICC World T20 India 2016 - March/April 2016

    Although I've said from the inception that it was even with the top 6 teams except for PAK/SRI to winning the tournament, I've always felt Windies being the most consistent T20 team since 2012 were the real favourites if they clicked/had all best players. Simmons being able to join team helps...

    If Narine, Pollard, Simmons and Young Bravo was in - Windies really would be the real clear favourites to win this competition.

    ICC World T20 India 2016 - March/April 2016

    To note what I said earlier. While I didn't think India was favourites at all and always backed NZ to win today, I didn't think they game would play out the way it did of course.

    ICC World T20 India 2016 - March/April 2016

    Not sure if this is general view here, but I've seen some in the media suggest India is favourites and I'm struggling to see how - even with home advantage. This IND team doesn't have that same, what can I say - home team power strength like the 2011 W-Cup team that you thought from early they...

    The state of off-spin bowling/suspect actions/doosra bowlers worldwide

    I think the "new" Ashwin has all the tools to bowl well outside India and become India's greatest off-spinner over Erapalli Prasanna. Shah once his ban doesn't escalate into something crazy, he is top-class for reasons you mentioned. Tahir sometimes I feel SA captains either don't trust him or...

    ICC News: Restructuring the ICC, BCCI Influence & more

    Not a big fan of two divisions, but one thing is for sure there needs to be a very big global debate on fixing cricket's very incoherent scheduling that has been very messed up compared to other sports in the world. So from that standpoint all options need to be discussed once the Big 3...
