The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[SuperMurali]

I agree, Bradman after all only averaged 10 in Sri Lanka.

true dat. How can we anoint someone the greatest ever when they can't even handle sub-continent pitches?

remember when it was kohli and not kane, smith and root used to troll other nations/people?

it's nice that jono's idol is no longer relevant

I'd imagine Bradman would have a ridiculous T20 average. Players like Gayle and Pieterson and others can all score these great runs, but most times lose their wickets trying to score way too many 6's. One always goes straight up and has them walking straight back. Scoring 6 is not much more than 4 and if you could score your 4 across the ground, and are used to batting long innings, well, hello 200+ average , inflated by so many not outs. Hello absurd win ratio inflated by never experiencing wicket pressure in games.

This got me thinking, what would be the best t20 team from players who have never played any competitive game in this format

Barry Richards
Garry Sobers
Viv Richards c
Keith Miller
Javed Miandad
Ian Botham
Kapil Dev
Les Ames
Derek Underwood
Malcom Marshall
Dennis Lillee

Would hold their own imo

No lara?!

 

[Howe_zat]

No lara?!

He played some T20.

 

[Tom Flint]

Not internationally I don't think

 

[watson]

Bradman can't hit 6s...lolz...

Here is some footage (near the end) of Bradman hitting Fleetwood-Smith for 5 x 6s in a NSW V VIC game, 1934.

Not internationally I don't think

Lara played 3 games for the Southern Rocks at the Harare Sports Club during November 2010. His top score was 65 off 47 balls. That's it for 20 Over Cricket as far as I can tell.

in other words he's the 1930s/1940s version of Kane Williamson

there's nothing wrong with Don wanting to be Don Braddiamson. It's ok to accept that he's an earlier version of Williamson. Donald only scored centuries in England and Australia.The Kane has scored them in England, Australia, UAE, West Indies, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh and New Zealand. Also in Zimbo and South Africa if you include ODIs

dead serious bro. Williamson is proven in all locations/conditions; bradman isn't

true dat. How can we anoint someone the greatest ever when they can't even handle sub-continent pitches?

Is this kind of trolling (that isn't even funny) allowed?

Needed the sarcasm tags, did my post.

 

[TheJediBrah]

how do you think he'd play? Opener, 3, 4?

Smashing every second ball to boundary? Accumulating runs quickly, then ballistic at the end?

He'd have to open, and probably make 100* (60) in every second innings

Heinrich Himmler's Aryan Master Race XI

1. Matthew Hayden
2. Martin Guptill
3. Kane Williamson
4. AB de Villers
5. Joe Root
6. Shane Watson
7. Jeff Wilson
8. Shane Warne
9. Brett Lee
10. Morne Morkel
11. Glenn McGrath

 

[MrPrez]

If you're accepting Morkel you have to accept Kallis.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Kallis doesn't have good enough teeth to be in a Master Race XI

 

[smash84]

Would jeff Thomson make it ahead of brett lee?

 

[Howe_zat]

stuart broad is an aryan petri dish experiment

 

[Red]

deVilliers looks too woggy. Like Adolf.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

stuart broad is an aryan petri dish experiment

Not manly-looking enough to make this XI. He can be the cheerleader.
