Turbinator
Cricketer Of The Year
Just out of curiosity, who'd you rather face:
Shoaib Akhtar (without drugs)
or
Shand Bond (without injuries)
or
Brett Lee

Ditto.adharcric said:Shane Bond. I can handle pace and swing on off or middle stump, but I'm very uncomfortable against short deliveries at my head.
It won't really matter when he knocks you in your casket with his beamer.open365 said:Brett Lee, he's crap.

That's a bad thing because he'll be all over the place at 90+ mph.age_master said:250 ODI wickets at 22.36, i wish i was that crap...
I would rather face Akhtar, i reakon hes the least consistent of the three.
Turbinator said:I myself would pick Bond, because I know he's not injured NOW, but by the time he completes his run-up he will be.
Who were these 90+ mph guys? I would've thought there aren't too many in the world that can do that considering we have less than 10 in international cricket who can pull it off.C_C said:I wouldnt care.
When i played cricket, i encountered some really fast ones (over 90mph) but i am pretty short, so i duck everything above chest height and full stuff i just play instinctively...works better..for reasons unknown to me, when it comes to sports, my instinctive side does a lot better than my analytical/planning side though the former rarely comes into play fully.

Highly doubtful that you've ever faced a swing bowler as quick or as high quality as Bond though. I think a lot of people here are equating very ordinary swing with what Bond can produce.Dravid said:Shane Bond, basically because I can play swing pretty well. Not too strong on my hook/pull shot and can't really play a bouncer from Lee, and I would prefer not to face steroid users.
