Saf to serve the first quartet since awesome Windies?

[Xuhaib]

Early days for De lange and Philander but signs are promising, also there spinners are crap (sorry Tahir) so going with awesome 4some might be their best strategy.

Could be great for upcoming England series, maybe except for Lord's

Edit: Could be 4 1/2

you mean Kallis is not a man or that he is not a proper pace bowler?

Aussies did it in Perth last year.Comically because it worked once they tried it again and it was about as much use as a chocolate fireplace.

Gough, Caddick, Cork & White from England's 2000 series vs WI say 'Hi'.

As do Hoggard, Harmison. Flintoff & Jones from 2004/05 (albeit with Giles as a fifth option).

Thinking about it, SA played four quicks & no spinner plenty of times during the 1990's.


But yes, you can see them doing the same again in England next summer.

Keyword in OP is awesome IMO

.... an outrageous slur on Cork & White.


but I'm afraid you need to read it carefully - it was only the WI quartet that was awesome.

Jesus Christ, I remember us playing four quicks in the 80s against the West Indies and others in Perth, but the four-pronged lethality of Reid, Hughes, Gilbert and Dodemaide didn't quite get the job done.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Did Lee, Gillespie, McGrath and Flemming ever play together?

And I think they also had Bical, Lee, Tait and McGrath playing as well (not too sure).

 

[Rasimione]

Well they have 4 quicks already dont they? Last i checked, kallis was gettin it upto 146km/h and Fernando can attest to that.

 

[Stapel]

Harmison, Hoggard, Jones & Flintoff. England have played them for quite while, with Anderson as replacement.

 

[sachin200]

Perth 2008 (India) - Lee, Tait, Clark, Johnson

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Martin, Southee, Bracewell, Boult

 

[GIMH]

Anderson-Broad-Bresnan-Tremlett would be an awesome foursome if we needed it. Three + Swann tends to do the job, however.

Kallis getting bitter after getting floored by Fernando?
