General Cricket Discussion

Sad to hear of the death of Derek Underwood. Certainly the best England spin bowler I ever saw. Unplayable on rain-affected pitches.

Remember him as a match referee. Although, he got mentioned a lot by Trevor Bailey in his books.

USA making good strides here. A lot of their success and way forth depends upon the conduct of the T20 World Cup.

I had no idea what goes behind the scenes during live commentary (the 1st 15 mins are good)

As expected from you.

This is a very exciting development:

Been wondering if I should post the "16 greatest test sides since WWII" in a separate thread or try to fit it in one of the numerous existing XI threads, with the worry being that it may sidetrack from existing threads should I post in them....

May well opt to create a new thread and see if it drives some discussions since I've made some interesting choices. Given that I've finished the list ages ago, there's no worries of it becoming an abandoned project as at any point I could just post the rest of the lineups in one swoop if I'm out of energy.

India vs Pakistan 1999 has to be at the top

CT 2025: PCB earmarks Lahore as sole venue for India games

The eight-team 50-over competition is expected to kick off in mid-February next year, with Karachi and Rawalpindi being the other designated venues

Not a bad idea by the PCB. The Indian team could simply stay in Indian Punjab near the border and train there, before taking a 30-minute flight on match days, and flying back after the match.

To make it more simpler, why not have all India matches plus finals in Mohali or Indian Punjab ground and make the opposition travel.

Yeah why not, you can lose another final at home

This is a brilliant idea and perfect solution. Live in Amritsar and play in Lahore. 57 km away and can either be flown via helicopter land directly in stadium or travel by bus.
