It is Yack then?

Also, has Taibu improved a lot during the last year in test matches? Those of you who have watched him recently, do you believe that in his current form he will make into any other test playing team as a batsman alone?

Do you believe that Sehwag is the best batsman on current form or as a whole?

[Mr Casson]

What's with the support for Graham Thorpe? What about Flintoff? Even Strauss is making more of an impact IMO.

mostly on current form, but even his career stats overall are pretty impressive. He has made test hundreds on all sorts of conditions, I think, except on those grass courts in NZ and I think it is an arguable point whether he is the best in the current team.

 

[Beleg]

Flintoff has a long way to go before coming anyway near Thorpe.

Same goes for Strauss, even moreso due to his limited experience.

For clarification purposes I am talking about Test Cricket.

Taibu wouldn't break into another team as a batsman. Full stop.
