Favourite Partnerships

Which partnerships have you enjoyed most in the past and currently?

Flintoff and G Jones, springs to mind (I've yet to think properly of my favourite partnership of the past!) and I'm excited by Kallis and Duminy, at the moment.

Please tell me yours.

Agree with these. Ambrose and Waqar in particular are two of my favourite bowlers.

In batting terms, Greenidge and Haynes were always my favourite pairing.

No pairing in recent times lives up to that, no where near.
I have to say that when I wrote the question, I was thinking about BATTING partnerships. But carry on . . .

Hughes and Warner.

Sehwag and Gambhir have the potential to be the greatest of all time in both tests and one dayers.

Any partnership involving one Shaun Marsh is not worth watching.

Akhtar & Asif
Yes they were quite enjoyable in that one Test match and five ODIs they played together. So many dreams....broken.

Anywho...

Wasim/Waqar in both formats and Anwar/Sohail in ODIs spring to mind. I really liked watching Sachin and Ganguly bat together whenever I got a chance to watch them. Oh and Ambrose/Walsh.

I love watching Kallis and Smith bat together, both such massive blokes but with totally different playing styles.

I think I'm also going to enjoy the (hopefully) many de Villiers-Duminy partnerships in years to come.

Tendulkar Ganguly was awesome to watch in ODIs esp in the late 90s. The pattern was so legendarily consistent. Ganguly would start off with a flurry of boundaries through the off side, while Tendulkar would play second fiddle. Once Tendulkar got his timing going, usually by the 7th or 8th over, he'd take over, and then Ganguly starts rotating the strike. Simply glorious stuff.

In tests, Mahela and Sanga, hard to see a better combination when these two get going.

Whatever it takes!!!
Tendulkar and Sehwag :)


Laxman and Dravid in tests.


Cronje and Rhodes back in the day... Seemed to know what each other was thinking.


Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharana were great too in 96..

Guptill and Ryder. Both people I consider friends so I love to see them do well, and they also both play exciting, aggressive cricket.
