Battle of the Subcontinent

silentstriker · 16-10-2006, 06:31 AM

Lets do a battle of the subcontinent. I was thinking Battle of the Indians, but I think this will be more fun...get some nice rivalries going

.

OK, first step is to nominate 64 people.

When nominating someone, please put a link to their cricinfo page, so its easy for people to see their stats, and also post a link to a picture if you can find it. That way I can put it into excel and its easier during the course of the battle.

The players must have played at least one test match from one of the following countries: India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan. No FC cricket lifers please.

Have everybody do your work for you and then you run the thing. Pure management material.

Johnners · 16-10-2006, 06:44 AM

Javed Miandad - IMO Pakistan's greatest Batsman

Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas - If not for his bowling, but surely his name

Thanks.

PS. Not that this will be a problem, but we should get at least five people from each country (i.e Bangladesh).

India/Pak have been playing cricket the longest, and Pak has probably had the most talent, so it doesn't have to be even, but each country should be represented.

Johnners · 16-10-2006, 07:08 AM

I had a short look for Aravinder De Silva (sp?) and couldn't find him for 2 reasons. A) I had no idea there were so many De Silva's that have played cricket either for Sri-Lanka or in SL 1st Class

B) See A

I got every one except Azhar. I will not have any match fixers in this tournament.

R_D · 16-10-2006, 07:22 AM

Next time i'll read the whole post before start nominating names :P

Pratters · 16-10-2006, 07:25 AM

Sorry wont go into giving cricinfo pages.

Some from India -

Vijay Hazare
Vijay Merchant
Amar Singh
G Vishwanath
Kapil Dev
Gavaskar
Tendulkar
Kumble
Dravid

Some from Pakistan -

Hanif Md.
Imran Khan
Javed Miandad
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis
Inzamam

Sri Lanka -

Aravinda De Silva
Vaas
Murali

Bangladesh - none.

I don't think we should necessarily include any from Bangladesh if they don't deserve it. The best should be there and there are many players from India and Pakistan who would stake a claim before any Bangladeshis.
