Don't worry, Brian Cashman's Yankees are just fine. Right?
The GM and his skipper say their team has enough talent to win it all. With the rival Astros adding yet another ace in Zack Greinke, and the Bombers doing nothing on deadline day, they'd better be right.

Archer ( first-class average: 31)

But, I think his ODI team is one of the best India has ever fielded, and despite the loss of Dhawan I felt they definitely underperformed for their standards. India is a runners-up minimum team.

Geographic analysis of Australian cricket (Post 1990)
I've always been interested in data and statistics, as many cricket fans are. In a sport so fascinated and preoccupied with stats, I guess it only makes sense. I also really love Australian Geography, and of course the Victorian cricket team. I wanted to combine my loves of Cricket and Stats, and have tried to discover some trends and correlations between Australian Test players and their place of birth.
As a preface, I'd like to point out that I have used the 111 players to have debuted for Australia in Test Cricket since 1990 in this analysis. This is because many players pre-1990 (more specifically pre-war.) have statistics that don't translate to the modern game that we play today. Jack Blackham's 16 with the bat as a keeper wouldn't get him in the Hall of Fame were he to play today. Stats about cricket mean fundamentally different things to what they once did. I also wanted to get this out before the Ashes series, because then I'd have to edit my stats on the go. Finally, some subjectivity has been taken in regards to categorising 'Rural' 'Urban' and 'Semi-Urban' as stats go.
Btw if any Territorians get triggered by my catch-all use of the term 'State' then I apologise.
GENERAL
Percentage of Cricketers born in each state
This is a fairly even representation of the Australian Population, with exception to Queensland, and Tasmania, With the former producing far too few cricketers for their population, whilst the latter thoroughly exceeds expectations. This is possibly due to more Tasmanians per capita getting a chance at Shield Level. This can also be seen with the below graph
Test cricketers per 100000 population
Whilst this graph was mostly made out of interest, it suggests that foreign-born cricketers have been far more prevalent in Australian test squads in recent times, whereas, for some reason, Queensland has had a decline in production.
Matches played per state and Matches played by Geographic classification
#NSWBias, nuff said. /s
Average career Length per state
The NT comes out on top here only by virtue of a very limited Sample size. Only one Northern Territorian, Damien Martyn, has debuted for Australia since 1990. Anyone with a good enough memory will know that he was a bloody good player. This Graph also indicated that NSW players are given the most chances by selectors, or that they are the best producers, probably a bit of both. It's not hard to see why South Australia are at the bottom of the list, as they haven't produced a continually selected player for a long time., and those that have been picked have often been dumped without being given a proper chance (see Callum Ferguson or Chadd Sayers).
Average career length by Geographic classification
This graph is significantly swayed by the effect that Glenn McGrath has on the 'Semi-Urban' numbers. It is hard to assertain any significant findings from this Graph.
BATTING
Nobody who's watched the dominance of Smith, Warner, Clarke and Mark Waugh will be surprised by the top place. Western Australia has chipped in with a few big names, and Punter basically does everything for Tasmania.
Northern Territory is first placed due to only having Damien Martyn represent them. Tasmania comes in second due to Ricky Ponting. Victoria comes in last because, quite frankly, My state hasn't produced a champion batsman since, well, Dean Jones probably.
Batting Average by geographic classification
All there is to say here is that only Michael Slater was born in a Semi-Urban city, and has gone on to forge a good career as a batsman. Whereas many other batsman have come from either Urban or Rural cities.
Fifties Per State and Hundreds Per State
Waugh, Smith, Warner, Clarke, Gilchrist, Slater. That's basically all you need to know to explain these two graphs.
Basically, states that produce good batsman, produce batsman that can convert. Poor old Michael Bevan never made a Test ton, and very few Victorian batsman have forged long careers.
Bowling
NSW have produced quite a few stellar pacemen over the years, Notably McGrath, Gillespie, Lee, Hazlewood and Starc. As well as the GOAT. Victoria are heavily carried by Warne, with Siddle and Reiffel chipping in, and hopefully James Pattinson will make his way up the list in the near future. Likewise, Queensland are carried by Johnson, who is assisted by Kasprowicz. SA continue to be useless, and should secede.
Five-Wicket-hauls per state and Ten-Wicket-Hauls per state
Warne and McGrath basically. Interestingly enough, the third most 5fors goes to Nathan Lyon. Michael Bevan is an absolute king with his 10-for against the West Indies.
Once again, Bevan comes in clutch for ACT. Other than that, no surprises.
Bowling Economy by State and Bowling Strike Rate by State
Ignore the typo in the title of the first graph. Bevan's low average and High economy culminate in a really good S/R. No real surprises otherwise, with SA just continuing to be useless.
If you have any questions about the data, or would like any more explanation as to why the data is as it is, do ask.

Kumar Sangakkara is the next great commentator.
After watching Kumar for the few years at Surrey as well as watching him in countless games on the international level, I absolutely love hearing him. During the world cup he was, IMO, the best commentator, and with the ashes coming up I cannot wait to listen to him. I'm an English fan who loves listening to Bumble, Holding, and a few others I guess. Cannot wait for a full summer, be it back to back to back to back to back; test matches, with Kumar at the mic.

Gutsy decisions at the toss
Which toss decisions are regarded as smartest, gutsiest in the cricket history? I can think of one.
Arjuna Rantunga - 1996 world cup final. SL won the toss and decided to field first. There was so much stacked against this decision. - No host team had ever won the world cup, so SL must have had that on their minds. - No team had ever won the world cup final batting second till then. - Chasing in ODIs was a monumental challenge in the 90s, especially in knock out games. Required rate of 5 was considered very tough. - SL got lucky in semis by losing the toss (and batting first), when India crumbled on a turning pitch with world cup pressure during chasing. Aussies had won a tight semi final defending a lowish score against WI. - Aus got off to a good start by being 130-1, and SL got off to terrible start losing both their explosive openers very early. The toss decision seemed terrible at the time. - But Rantunga had relied on his gut, his plan of using the dry pitch to choke Aussies, and chasing when there was dew on the ground, which could neutralize Warne. Both of his instincts paid off as SL spinners restricted Australia to 243, with DeSilva leading with a 3-for and DeSilva again coming to the rescue in the chase with a chance less unbeaten 100. - Thus, SL broke both the stereotypes of host country and chasing team not winning the final, thanks in part to his gutsy decision at the toss.
Ganguly’s decision to bat first in Hedingly 2002 test, and playing two spinners on a green top, is another one that comes to mind.

Batting lineup strategies
Hello friends!
I'm an American who just got into cricket after the world cup (I've tried to get my friends into it too, but after a while it became difficult to speak over all that snoring) I'm trying to learn as much as I can- however I have one question that I haven't found a good answer to yet-
How do the strategies differ between test cricket and ODI in terms of the batting lineup?
It seems to me for test cricket there are dedicated openers who know how to handle the new ball and also are adept at scoring?...Beyond that it seems the best batsmen are 3-6? How do you choose the order there?
For ODI are there also specialized openers? Or are the best batsmen put first because the emphasis is on scoring quickly?
And if Ben Stokes is a highly rated batter why was he at 6 during the world cup? (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Thank you so much!

What's wrong with Ajinkya Rahane in Test Cricket and When do we start talking about him
Rahane had scored 8 test centuries in his first 29 tests with an average touch over 50 at the end of the NZ Series in October 2016. In the next 27 test matches spread over more than 2 years he has scored only one century with an average under 30.
This is no temporary slump for this has lasted for more than 2 years. Yet, he has not look liked playing badly (apart from the series against SL in 2017). Nor has he shown any major technical weakness. He has also had some vital match-winning /match-saving knocks in Bangalore (his Partnership with Pujara was series defining), Wanderers, Trent-Bridge, Adelaide as well in middle of this long slump. But hasn't had any big score nor even a consistent run of 50s.
So what's gone wrong with him. And as much as I like him as a batsman, can the team afford to have a number 5 who is averaging less than 30 over almost 30 test matches?
