Who Would you have Bat for your Life

Hmm, that's not the way I remember it.

Really?
Provide some more insight, then.

That's funny because Gillespie has had the wood on Sachin quite a bit and McGrath on Lara...

you could probably say Mcgrath has done very well against Sachin as well.

Granted Lara has been dismissed by McGrath several times, but he has also played some epic innings against him. I'd call that rivalry even.

I'd say Lara has won categorically, Tendulkar too.
They've both scored stacks of runs against Australia and even though they've been dismissed often by both, I'd say they've scored enough runs to win any battles.

Smith had trouble against Giles for quite a while during one of the doubles, can't remember which because it was a long time ago and I have more important things to remember,

He looked a bit uncomfortable, yes - it was the Edgbaston one, to refresh your memory.
He still gave 3 chances in God-knows-how-many deliveries - 2 of them from slogs as a declaration approached.

Richard,

Edgbaston it wasn't. Plodfordshire my friend.

 

[Richard]

No surprises there.
