I think RCB should trust Romario's bowling.He was a bowler first,later he developed his batting skills.@Fancricket12 how do you rate Romario as a bowler?

Manish Pandey takes a stunner. 🤯






The match fixing scandal came to light in 1999. This happened in 1992. It all looks suspicious now.



@CricketopiaCom @Fancricket12 Sir, notice the change in Ambrose's action from early 90s to say in 96.





When I first watched him in 1994, he wasn't this front-on. Even when I saw him v Pakistan, somewhere in 2001-02, he wasn't this front-on. During that tour, Razzaq in particular troubled him again and again. A few months later, the trigger had changed a bit!


It’s one of the most unusual sights in cricket - a stance that looked completely wrong to the eye, almost awkward, almost uncomfortable. Yet Shivnarine Chanderpaul stood there, chest facing the bowler, bat tucked in, looking nothing like the textbook image of a Test batter. For years, critics questioned it. Bowlers tried to figure it out. Viewers couldn’t quite understand it. But the numbers told a completely different story. Chanderpaul finished with 11,867 Test runs in 164 matches at an average of 51.37, including 30 centuries and 66 fifties. He wasn’t flashy. He wasn’t elegant. But he was incredibly hard to dismiss and remarkably consistent over two decades. At a time when West Indies cricket was going through a difficult phase, Chanderpaul quietly became their backbone — holding one end, absorbing pressure, and scoring runs when few others could. His stance may have looked unconventional, but his results were anything but. 📸 Courtesy: JSB K Facts (FB)

IPL is here and I've got the Optimal Batting Order app up and running with updated data. A v1 this as I plan to build more with @Vasanth494949 . The number 3 spot in the Royals batting unit should go to Hetmyer according the optimizer. Check it out for your fav teams - ordertoolkit.streamlit.app
