The greatest in domestic cricket from each country

This thread would have been a lot more fun if not for the cricket archive pay wall

it's like $5 a month

hardly going to break the bank

 

[Spikey]

yeah but i'm spending like $50 a month on wrestling subscriptions and cricket archive doesn't have piledrivers, cutters or star ratings

Wow Kippax was a beast. Pretty meh international record though


The Hick of his time?

Interesting player. Wonder if Fred has written a piece pn him?

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah he has close to 100 more 5fers and 50 more 10fers than the second best. It's pretty insane.

possibly no good teammates to share the bowling with?

Bevan would have been such a gun Test player easily had he gotten a chance between 1999-2003

Nope

His temperament failed him at test level and he batted in a completely different fashion when selected

 

[Burgey]

How good is Miller's Shield batting average when you factor in his bowling workload too?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Nope

His temperament failed him at test level and he batted in a completely different fashion when selected

IMO if you took 2000-2003 Bevan and stuck in the Aus test team he could well have been the 2nd best bat in the side after Ponting. He was a very different FC player than he was back when he played most of his Tests.

There was nothing splitting Bevan and Martyn domestically but Martyn got the nod and held the spot for like 6 years.

Apart from Matryn's ability to deal with quick short bowling.

Apart from Matryn's ability to deal with quick short bowling.

That was more an excuse that got trotted out every time someone questioned Bevan's lack of consideration for Test cricket rather than anything based in practical fact. Funny how few dismissals early in your career can do that.

Obviously mainly before modern eras of the 90s where less domestic cricket was played by internationals. But just wanted to reference SA batsman before further comment. In no particular order leaving out Hash, AB etc who are still playing.
