One Last Sight

[Red]

It's probably a cliche, but I'd love to have been in the crowd at the Adelaide Oval when Jardine set this leg theory field after Woodfull had been hit over the heart.

One imagines that must be as close as cricket gets to warfare.

Agree.

Also would love to see Archie Jackson and Neil Harvey bat against a good attack.

Trumper bat for a few hours.

Bradman bat for a day or two.

Keith Miller do anything.

O'Reilly and Grimmett bowl in tandem.

Old time bowlers like SF Barnes, Spofforth and CTB Turner, to see what they bowled like then.

I have given this some thought, and I'd give up the opportunity for all ***ual gratification for the rest of my life for the ability to time travel....

I'd like to go back to the days where you could take a case into the SCG and sit on the hill.

I am talking about a proper reverse swinging minefield plus add Akhtar to the equation.

I would like to sit in the terrace of a West Indian ground in the 70's. Partying in the stand, savagery on the field.

nobody saying sit in the members at lords and sip tea ftr.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Simply to see Malcolm Marshall play the game again. Preferably bowling, of course.

 

[watson]

Gregory, McDonald, Armstrong, and Mailey bowling to Frank Woolley during his pair of 90s at Lords, 1921.

SF Barnes and Wilfred Rhodes bowling to Victor Trumper during his 166 at the SCG, 1908.


Nuff said.

Happy to say I have done both of those things.

It wasn't always all it was cracked up to be though.

Marshall and Warne bowling in tandem to Bradman and Sobers with Lillee and Holding chomping at the bit to get their chance and Viv due in next. Hammond, Chappel and Richardson in the slips next to Knotty.

 

[Jager]

Would have loved to see the great governor general bat, too

Imran was the 2nd highest wicket taker in that series. 92 he was at the end of his career... Young Waqar was at his pacy reverse swinging best. 1st 11 matches 50+ wickets and from 89-94 was at his absolute peak. He might have "started" but he was already at his better-best. Wasim is Wasim.

For argument sake in the same token Indian MO had young guns like a certain SRT, Manjrekar, Azhar(with 3 yrs of experience)

I saw a fair bit if that series. It was more like the SSC than anything else and there wasn't much reverse either

I meant something like this

The Imran of 82 not end of 89

Haves Mia dad actually completing that shot against Lillee.

Want to add Hobbs and Pollock to that batting line up as well.

The Imran of 82 not end of 89

Waqar is really under rated here, he was my favorite and most fear Pakistani bowler.

Waqar at his peak was phenomenal but that was about 5 years. After that he was Gillespie-ish

 

[JBMAC]

I'd like to sit through the tied test again, see Bradman in '46 score his 180 odd against the poms(I'd rate that as the best innings I ever saw of his),Malcolm Marshall bowling anytime, Lillee/Thompson ripping through the poms like a packet of salts,The eelagance of Rohan Khanhai and David Gower in full cry.A joy to behold

From a fantasy viewpoint
Warne bowling to Bradman
Tallon keeping to Warne
The poms NEVER winning an Ashes series
The West Indies of old when their dominance was supreme playing the 1948 Invincibles

 

[Jager]

Did you see much of Alan Davidson, JBMAC? From a personal perspective he is my favourite bowler in terms of his action

Saw quite a bit of him in particular that tied test mentioned.He proved just as effective as a change bowler as a strike bowler.
