I suppose it depends what the budgets and base prices are but that’s fair it probably would lead to a more uneven distribution. But not sure I understand why that would be bad for growth? Hasn’t exactly harmed the IPL / WPL model

Interested to hear more about why auctions don’t allow for growth? Might be naive here but if you increased the auction budget would that not increase salaries in the same way as the draft?

Don’t disagree with your overall point that we need more dribbly wingers, but how much do you think tactical instructions influence the fact that there aren’t any Arsenal players on the list?

Yeah understandable. Tough day today but much improved since 2023

By my calculations, basically the only bowlers in last 10 years with a better ave + econ vs Aus than Ecclestone are Kapp + Hartley (min 200 balls)

Those numbers are clearly worse vs Aus, but does that not just reflect Aus being way better than the other teams? Most bowlers will be similar

England’s last 3 tests on top!

Fair play everyone clearly saw this coming

1. Jaiswal
2. Gill
3. Samson
4. Varma
5. Kishan
6. Rinku
7. Nitish Kumar Reddy
8. Bishnoi
9. Shami
10. Bhuvi
11. Siraj

All these weren’t playing in the World Cup final. And still got Abhishek Sharma, KL Rahul, Ashwin, Chakravarthy, Parag, Patidar etc
