GOLDEN PAIRS:Choose your favourite pairs to battle with each other

[honestbharani]

Warne and Murali to Tendulkar and Lara!

That's mine too.


But given how well Lara and Sachin play spin, I think the probability of victory would be to the batters in such a match up.

 

[Rajeev]

Mcgrath + Murali

Dravid and Tendulkar

 

[andyc]

Historically maybe Mcgrath/Warne v Bradman
I reckon Bradman wouldn't have lasted all that long with both of them in their prime

That'd be pretty good, just in terms of seeing how his skills would transfer to the modern day. Don't agree with him not lasting long though, I reckon he'd go just as well as he used to.

 

[Xuhaib]

Sami and Hayward bowling to Barry and Viv.

 

[Run like Inzy]

I think it would have taken him a few innings to figure out the variety the two bowlers possess. Might be more challenging than anything from his era

 

[Ganja Farmer]

Martin Crowe vs The Rest.

 

[Fusion]

That sounds damn good, I'd go with that. Good work mate.

 

[chooka_nick]

Andrew Flintoff and Ian Botham facing Andrew Flintoff and Ian Botham

HA love it

 

[aussie]

Ricky Ponting vs the West Indies 4-prong at its peak.

 

[zaremba]

Andrew Flintoff and Ian Botham facing Andrew Flintoff and Ian Botham

Bollocks. Was going to post precisely this - well certainly as regards Botham (Flintoff the batsman would struggle against Flintoff the bowler I think).

 

[Naumaan]

Simon Toufel VS Pakistan

 

[MrIncredible]

Ricky Ponting vs the West Indies 4-prong at its peak.

along the same lines :

Hayden
Langer
Ponting
M Waugh
S Waugh
D Martyn
A Gilchrist

vs

Marshall
Holding
Garner
Walsh

 

[subshakerz]

Sydney Barnes vs. Don Bradman. The ultimate dream matchup.

 

[bagapath]

if you are talking about one bowler vs one batsman then an all-aussie match-up of trumper vs warne would be hard to beat for thrills, suspense, class and style.

 

[0RI0N]

Ambrose and Holding
vs
Stan McCabe and Walter Hammond on a Sabina Park pitch from the 80's.
