If any list needed a minimum qualification, it may well be this one . . .

Despite every single bit of evidence to the contrary, I'm still convinced Australia will magically come up with some elite young players when the legends retire.
Right now, the cupboard looks extremely bare.
South Africa bound! #SAvAUS
Australia have brought in two players to their Test squad: cricketa.us/4xVOvNa

Lads, how about play a Test match, ey?
For the first time in Cricket World Cup history, India and Pakistan are likely to face each other twice in 2027. First on October 10 in Johannesburg and then again on November 7 in Cape Town provided both qualify for the Super Seven stage.
There could even be a third meeting if they face each other in the semi-finals or the final.
Five months before the World Cup, India and Pakistan are also likely to play twice in the Asia Cup and three times if both reach the final.
So, within the space of six months in 2027, there is a realistic possibility of four India vs Pakistan ODI matches and as many as six if they also meet in the knockout stages.

It's incredible the mad conclusions that some people come up with regarding the Bavuma/De Kock exchange.
A nothing incident that the two men have probably forgotten about already.

A bad year indeed, but at least the 'shires can console themselves with a little bit of 'sex.
A bad year for the 'shires,
7 of the 8 2027 County Championship div 2 sides will end in 'shire', the highest % since it began in 2000.

Torrid season but feel he'd do a Hameed if he ended up anywhere else.
“I felt a sense of embarrassment…that I’d let a lot of people down.”
First century of the season for Josh Bohannon who also confirms he’s signed a new contract @EmiratesOT until 2028.

Delighted for Elgar. Much to admire about the way he played his cricket. A rare breed. Perhaps, a dying breed. Happy retirement to him.
𝗔 𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗬 𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦!! 💯🥹
In a truly fitting moment, as he takes to the field with bat in hand for the final time in his professional career, Dean Elgar surpasses three figures! That's the third time this season Deano has reached the century mark! 👏
Essex 183/1 (55.4 overs) trailing by 193 runs. [Follow-on enforced]
