    Sri Lanka tour of Australia 2019 - 2 Tests

    Yes it is, it is quite surprising because it's the main cricket ground in the countries capital and they have been hosting cricket since 1930.

    100 Greatest Cricketers of All Time

    Tendulkar, Ponting, McGrath too low (only to mention a few). Hussey definitely deserves to be there! That list is a joke!

    The greatest from each nation

    I fell as though Kohli should be there for India (I'm Australian btw). He has numerous records that are outstanding. I also think W.G. Grace should be there for England. He basically invented the way we bat today.

    What would you change in cricket?

    I would change the LBW law so that if the umpire thinks the ball is hitting the stumps it is out, no impact outside or pitching outside leg. I would leave the "half of the ball must be hitting" rule to DRS reviews because technology isn't always correct but I would get rid of the over 3 metre...

    Thank you for considering. Also you could try asking people for the information for these matches to take the weight off the Planet Cricket Team's shoulder. County starts on the 5th of April, Ranji Trophy started in November this season so I assume it will start at a similar time next season...

    Cricket follows me everywhere!

    Here is the whole poem: It is little I repair to the matches of the Southron folk, Though my own red roses there may blow; It is little I repair to the matches of the Southron folk, Though the red roses crest the caps, I know. For the field is full of shades as I near a shadowy coast, And a...

    Do you do make a fantasy league about County Cricket, Sheffield Shield, Ranji Trophy, etc? It would be very interesting as you would have to pick from a large variety of players and it is also over a longer period of time. It will help connect people back to the domestic roots. People will also...
