Which team failed to produce a single ATG player in last 30 years?

[Burgey]

Sri Lanka. Sangakkara is their closest, Murali was a trier but that aside they've had very average players tbh.

South Aust

Doing it to Indian posters is one thing, but doing it to the Lankans is just plain bullying.

Nah, SA have some serious quality in their best XI - plus they can do the business all around the world, the issue is simply the dead weights in the team and the bench strength

In ODIs, there's Amla and AB. Maybe de Kock (but he's not consistent yet). Beyond that there's not much. Our bowling is so terrible.

Still trying to work out what the little Sri Lankans ever did to him

 

[sledger]

Sri Lanka have never done anything to anyone. Probably because they've not ever produced the players required to do so.

96 World Cup Final?

Off the top of my head...

Russell Arnold

That's all I got.

 

[Burgey]

No I don't begrudge them that. Like Pakistan in 92 they were the best odi team in the world for two weeks and deserved their win.

 

[dogwalker]

I somehow missed the 96 world cup, but didn't SA drop Donald for a knock-out game? Did that actually happen?

Yeah. Dropped him in the quarters for god knows what reason and Lara ****ed them up good.

Aravinda?

Jesus. Who was the coach? Was Cronje the captain? Might explain some things.

 

[NZTailender]

For Sri Lanka: Mahela Jayawardene ffs. Jayasuriya a ODI great imo.

Migara created this thread.

Should have included Dhoni too.

For Maximas, it's probably the quarter final.

 

[Coronis]

Bond (ODI) & Cairns (Tests) for NZ.

Is it that difficult to consider Bond as a test ATG too? I know he only played 18 tests, but a SR under 40 and almost 5 WPM do him justice. Ok yes, he did have one major **** up against Australia, at the very beginning.

 

[Pratters]

At his peak, he was. Genuine batsman or bowler pick.

How long was the peak though? Cairns always struck me as more of a what could have been sone how.

 

[marc71178]

Shakib has played almost the same # of ODIs and within a couple of years it would be hard to pick Flintoff over him..

No, it really wouldn't.

after he got his first ten or so tests out of the way (which were spread out over several years) he was top class. something like 43 with the bat and 26 with the ball during a reasonable time span. cbf statguruing. zinzan loves to post it.
